He also talks to us about the threat of recession and why he feels it is important to go against the consensus when markets are difficult.

“If you could attend fewer meetings, would you? The answer is not in talking less, but in talking differently.”Serial entrepreneur Josh Little knows a thing or two about running successful software and technology companies. He has founded numerous global software companies, including Qzzr, Bloomfire, and Maestro eLearning. His previous stints include working at Pfizer as National Account Manager.He currently brings his entrepreneurial expertise to clients as the CEO of Volley app - a video-first platform for businesses to have efficient and productive communications.Further along, Josh has been carrying on his family's legacy for the last 10 years by making the most delicious pickles just like his great grandfather used to make.On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, Josh clarifies what asynchronous communication is and what it isn't, and offers some great insights on async communication and remote work.We discuss with Josh:His journey from being a teacher to being the CEO of four successful tech companiesWhy async winsVolley's mission: enable the future of work and save the world from death-by-meetings. Why more companies are frustrated with the concept of Async communication for remote teamsHis thoughts on the future of the workplace Asynchronous video communication as the next big thing in the world of remote work: building a Slack challenger.Why are more companies frustrated with the concept of Async communication for remote teams?As per Josh, people have been doing things a certain way for decades. There are only two ways in which companies can communicate with their workers, which are typing (memos, email, chat) and talking (meetings, video conferences and tools like zoom). The need to talk has increased slightly because there is less proximity and less ad-hoc communication. Since a lot of people have been working remotely during the pandemic, the frequency of meetings has increased by 13%.Why do companies need to change their current ways of communicating with employees?Josh says that companies need to pick their poison, implying, they need to choose between talking and typing. However, typing is 7 times slower than talking as an average person can compose written business communication at 19 words per minute. On the other hand, an average person can speak 150 words per minute. Josh added that when you communicate through speaking, only 7 per cent of that is the words that we choose to speak, 38 per cent is how we sound when we speak and 55 percent is what I look like when you are speaking.Asynchronous video communication as the next big thing in the world of remote work: building a Slack challenger?As per Josh, Volley aims to create a hybrid of both, richness of talking and flexibility of texting, which looks like a video messaging app. It would help to deal with the major issues of remote working, namely loneliness and lack of communication. Josh stated that Loom characterizes video as a piece of content, just like YouTube. Why is Volley being a separate platform altogether and why async wins?Josh says that Volley can replace some of the meetings as on one end of the spectrum it is achromous and on the other hand, it can replace a lot of brainstorming and one on one meetings. He believes Volley can make achromous communication better to a great extent. Some teams use volley; however, according to Josh, some teams fall back into the same behaviour and use slack. Zoom is said to be the dark age of remote work.Follow Josh on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Abhash Kumar

"Our ego is our silent partner--too often with a controlling interest."~Cullen HightowerThe mere mention of the word ego conjures images of self-loving, selfish maniacs who would stop at nothing to bolster their own self-image. Here we make the clear distinction between ego, a person's self-esteem, and an egotist, a person wholly consumer with self-importance. Without the ego, there would be no success. What would drive us to fight through resistance, to risk failure, to persevere? We look at how a person can use their ego aspirationally without letting success get to our heads.In this episode:Why parents act like fools at youth sports gamesThe absurdity of big egos in large companiesWhy ego tends to show itself once you've had successLeaders who say "I" when things go poorly and "we" when things go wellWhy sacred cows exist in organizationsThe higher up you move in an organization, the fewer pats on the back you should expectHow Frank knew he wasn't getting a big tip at Outback SteakhouseHow to convince yourself you are still the underdogWhy we still freak out about posting videos onlineA lack of ego can be just as a big of a problem as an ego out of control

I know, I know… trust me, this is juicy and all highly documented, inclusive of content that went to court. Grab the popcorn (or a steak) and jump in.  On this episode we discussed:How the Seventh Day Adventist Church infiltrated of the food industryHow medical education and dietetics associations were bought out by sugar and grain companiesWhy the plant based narrative is ingrained in our culture as ‘being healthy'. ***Join the Healthy Mum's Facebook Group >>HERE
