Problem-solving isn’t just for leaders—it’s a skill everyone needs. In today’s fast-moving world, those who actively seek out and tackle challenges don’t just survive; they thrive. I sit down with Craig Calder, former EY partner, author, and founder of Think Clear Group, to explore how anyone can develop the mindset of a problem hunter. Craig challenges the outdated idea that problem-solving is a reactive skill. Instead, he explains how identifying, understanding, and addressing problems proactively can transform your career, impact, and confidence. What We Cover in This Episode: Why problem hunting isn’t just for leaders—everyone benefits from mastering this skill How problem hunters get ahead—proactive problem-solvers make faster, clearer decisions The impact of a problem-solving culture—companies that focus on this outperform their competitors significantly The difference between spotting a problem and owning the solution Practical steps to define problems clearly, assess impact, and find root causes Why psychological safety and continuous learning are critical to better decision-making This isn’t just a leadership conversation—it’s about how to take control of your own success. Whether leading a team, running a business, or looking to handle challenges more effectively, developing the skills of a problem hunter will set you apart. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Realisation 00:42 Meet Craig Calder: Author and Problem Solver 01:15 Craig's Personal Journey to Problem Solving 06:33 The Importance of Problem Hunters in Organizations 14:23 Steps to Effective Problem Solving 21:27 The Turd Observer Concept 26:39 Becoming a Sought-After Problem Hunter 32:49 Conclusion and Final Thoughts LINKS Connect with Craig: Grab a copy of Craig’s book "Problem Hunter" here LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/craig-calder/ Website: https://www.thinkcleargroup.com/ Connect with Julie: Order My New Book “You Always Have A Choice” here LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-hyde/ Instagram: @juliehydeleads Website: https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand Rugby has finally managed to convert its Silverlake deal from pipe dream to reality ...meaning provincial unions are in line for a multi-million dollar windfall. The proposal was approved with 89 votes for and just one against. And will Silver Lake invest 200 million dollar in a new commerical entity that will control all NZR's revenue generating assets. NPC and Heartland unions get 20 million dollars to divy up between them. Joning us now is South Canterbury Rugby chief executive Craig Calder.

Allegations of sabotage, half-baked ideas, shameful distractions and leading the public down the proverbial garden path. Some provincial rugby unions and New Zealand Rugby have hit out hard at a proposal being floated by the Players Association as an alternative to the Silverlake deal - the Silverlake deal would see the US equity firm buy 12.5 percent of NZR's commercial rights for about $400 million. The player's plan, backed by investment firm Forsyth Barr, could see a smaller 5 percent stake floated on the stock exchange. South Canterbury Rugby chief executive Craig Calder has two key questions.

Provincial rugby unions gave their blessing yesterday to a controversial deal to allow a private equity firm to buy into New Zealand Rugby. The deal would allow global technology investment firm Silver Lake to take a 12.5 per cent stake in New Zealand Rugby's commercial interests - netting the national body $387.5m. The deal can't proceed without the approval of the New Zealand Rugby Players' Association. Joining Kathryn to explain why the deal has the backing of provincial unions is Craig Calder, chief executive of the South Canterbury Rugby Union and Rowena Davenport, chairperson of the Otago Rugby Football Union.

Steve (Hatch) is incensed by the poor customer experience. We hash it out. Maybe you want to cancel that iPhone 4 order? Rumors of an iPhone on Verizon in Q4 2010 pop up, yet again. Multitasking in iOS 4 is not a magical sparkle pony. Will make the AT&T network even worse. Free WiFi coming to all Starbucks U.S. locations in July. John thinks AT&T and iPhone 4 had something to do with it. AOL (Aol?) sells Bebo for ~$10MM - after buying it for $850MM two years ago. Steve Case weighs in. (Do you think the irony is lost on him?

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) and our guest, Rob Goldman, (twitter: @robjective) CEO of threadsy discuss: Rob will be attending the CrunchUp event next week in the valley Craig will attend the Glasshouse event in NYC on Monday, 11/16 John and Craig will attend Web 2.0 Expo NY Google Wave vs. Threadsy Mozilla releases plans, screenshots for its Raindrop universal inbox. Chia-Lin thinks it may have the potential of being vaporware. We’re waiting for mobile clients (especially on the iPhone) to support Twitter Lists. Threadsy is working on Twitter Lists support. Parse.ly is in private beta. Read Write Web calls it “The Pro Bloggers Feed Reader.” Lazyweb is a similar client. It’s going to be a tough job for some of these services to get people to switch from Google Reader. Chia-Lin is holding back on her Droid purchase. It’s only a CMDA phone that she can’t use internationally plus, she thinks that Verizon may get the iPhone. Will Verizon get the iPhone any time soon? We hash it out. John has started reading Kindle books on his iPhone…even after questioning why anyone would do that. Doh! The ODM crew wants to know if John has purchased any more Vooks. Yes, he decided to give Vooks another chance and bought Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush It” in Vook format. Amazon has just released Kindle software for Windows that’s decidedly for the netbook crowd. The class action lawsuits against the social gaming companies have arrived. Are Facebook and Myspace liable for the actions of these networks? We doubt it. A boxee box is coming! We want. Rob built his own MythTV box! Netflix may support the MPAA 30-day window on new releases! We’re not happy. Why not release James Cameron’s upcoming film “Avatar” across all platforms at once, just to see how the revenue streams unfold? Rupert Murdoch said that he’s going to block Google and remove all content from his properties from the search engine. Hah! “This is the media mogul equivalent of Jumping the Shark.” An interesting coup for Microsoft should Murdoch cut a deal with Bing to allow them to index his content.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) discuss chat about current news and events: Craig is at TravelZoo and headed to the FocusRight conference in December John will attend the September meeting of the New York Social Media Club Opinion: The New York Times will print only on Sundays, be digital all other days - for a fee Let’s make an eReader. All the cool kids are doing it. THE mass market eReader needs to be $99 or less We belabor the issue of the iPhone battery life. Again. Craig just finished listening to The Accidental Billionares, the book about Facebook - “Highly Entertaining.” Apple announced new products: iTunes 9, iPhone OS 3.1, a revised iPod nano with video capture, a revised iPod Touch and…the iLiver! Outlook for Mac is coming John thinks all iPod hardware needs wifi. It would be a boon for media sharing worldwide. iTunes 9 brings the social! Facebook and Twitter integration. Apple offers five times the entertainment titles than the combined number of titles for Sony and Nintendo portable game machines, Got kids? Got an iPhone or iPod Touch? Get Trace. Free in the App Store. Chia-Lin believes that Android needs 4 million handsets in the market before it reaches a tipping point. Craig: “Apple’s true [iPhone] competitor has yet to be revealed.” “The Treo is the 8-track of handsets.” Android is the open source equivalent of Windows Mobile in the sense that it shares similar challenges. Craig digs the DigiDay conferences. Is Apple the new Big Brother? Motorola announced the Android-based Cliq with the MotoBlur interface Palm released the Pixi, a cheaper, candybar qwerty without a slider. “AT&T is the Dick Cheney of telecom.” Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Craig Calder (twitter:@ccalder) discuss their predictions for 2009. Topics include: Craig is going to the PhocusWright Conference November 17th through the 19th Ken is now living in the Boston area and looking for a new gig WSJ is going to start charging for mobile access to subscription content. There will be discounts for current subscribers. Do the math: based on current pricing, the WSJ iPhone app is just as valuable as the print subscription. Is this the beginning of the age of a Platform-agnostic news organization “The newspaper industry has been in decline for 50 years. They just didn’t know it.” 24% of newspapers are ignoring the digital channel for distributing content Business Week had 93 suitors at one point - only half are still interested in purchasing the publication. “The brand means nothing if the business is dying.” The Kindle version of Dan Brown’s new book “The Lost Symbol” is outselling the hardcover on Amazon “Every president in American history has been a Mason except for one: John F. Kennedy.” “The Book is dead. Long live the Book.” “The printed book is not dead. The book publishing business as we know it is dead.” (or dying) Google bough ReCaptcha as a tool for helping digitize books Google will make many of the books that it has scanned as part of its Google Books initiative via print-on-demand Smashing Pumpkins will be distributing their new album in its entirety for free. If you want, you can buy one of the 11 collectors editions. That works for major acts, but what about the thousands of other musicians and performers? Check out JamsBio.com “The artists took over merch, ClearChannel and others took over the venues. All that’s left are the CD’s and lawsuits.” ASCAP and BMI want royalties for the 30-second samples on iTunes and other downloadable musi retailers. The music industry wants to get paid for that extra one second beyond the 29-second fair use doctrine. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Ken Gellman (twitter: @kengellman) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about: Craig was featured in articles on Forbes.com and AdAge.com representing TravelZoo Craig’s team at TravelZoo won the SAMMY Award (MediaPost’s Social Media Award) for The Top Branded Twitter Campaign beating out MadMen and M&M Mars. Congratulations to Craign and the TravelZoo team! Audible.com is still hiring developers. You get to work with Steve Hatch! (Trust me, that’s a good thing. – jf.) Breaking News! Twitter has new avatars! Twitter will add geo-location as a built-in feature. Don’t worry, it will be opt-in. John is using a combination of BrightKite, FourSquare and GoWalla for location-based status updates. Twitter doesn’t want to have to deal with subpeonas - after 14 days, the location metadata associated with your tweets is expunged. “Project Retweet” is an effort to redesign the user experience of retweets - this time, officially by twitter as opposed to the community. Tweetie already supports the Project Retweet API extensions John has decided to add video to the mix during ODM recording sessions. They’ll be posted in the show notes on occassion. Steve equates the retweet with FriendFeed’s and Facebook’s “Like” feature and that it will ultimately morph into the same nomenclature and user experience. Craig believes that retweet etiquette requires the retweeter to add value in some way to the retweet. (The value IS the retweet! It’s “retweet-worthy!”) Mashable asks if people are ready for the features of Project Retweet. Justine Bateman wasn’t as the change caused some confusion until she realized what was going on - and she’s Twitter-savvy. What about people who aren’t? Apparently her BlackBerry Twitter client (UberTwitter) already supports the Project Retweet API extensions as well. Justin Timberlake has signed on to appear in the movie “The Accidental Billionaire” based on the book of the same name. 27% of people access twitter through dedicated applications. How could a company like comScore track that? Do they track API calls? Do people in their panel note the fact that they use Twitter apps? Craig will ask and report back. Twitter just raised $100 million to support the build-out of all these service updates - at an approximate $1 billion valuation! Jason Fried’s Satirical post about the 37Signals “$100 Billion valuation” pokes fun at Twitter’s recent funding and valuation Where’s our Audible sponsorship, damnit?! Jonathan? Are you listening? Livestream launches Livepack - the world’s first solution for wireless live streaming at HD quality Craig rediscovers TweetDeck…and loves it. A random tweet of his was included in an IgniteNYC presentation. (With attribution, of course.) John wil be speaking at Web2Open at the Web 2.0 Expo New York on Social Media Hacks Craig shares a Social Media Hack that will make its way into my presentation! Send any social media hacks, tips or tricks you have to comments@odmcast.com Google Sidewiki was released for FireFox and IE browsers - it’s a distributed commenting/social discussion system Remember ThirdVoice? It was the original distributing commenting system that was launched - and died - during the dotcom boom. Danny Sullivan used Sidewiki in a unique way (http://bit.ly/3bbzUY), commenting on Seth Godin’s post about Squidoo’s “Brands in Place” service. Not sure why people were so ruffled by Brands in Place. In a way, it’s not much different than allowing anyone to create a space on GetSatisfaction.com. Google introduces Google Frame for IE Browsers, bringing the standards compliant Webkit rendering engine to Internet Explorer - and a 10x increase in speed. Surprise! Microsoft doesn’t like it. We hope it will push Microsoft to make IE much better than it is currently. Mike Abundo from 901am writes about The Delusions of Carol Bartz. Comparing Yahoo’s decline with AOL’s decline. Yahoo is selling off Yahoo Small Business AOL’s decline was hastened by the rise of broadband. Yahoo’s decline was hastened by lack of focus and competing services. Looking for a new gig? You can probably make a difference at Yahoo or AOL - and they’re hiring. iRex announced the DR800SG with global 3G downloads and partnerships with Barnes & Noble for eBooks, wireless connectivity through Verizon and retail sales through Best Buy. AT&T finally allows MMS on the iPhone Newspaper publishers divide over paid content - too bad their consumers aren’t! Only a small fraction said they would pay 2 cents per article.

Amazon/Audible is hiring! Conan O’Brien and Newark Mayor Cory Booker are having a fun little sparring match. Conan is using the airwaves while Cory is using YouTube. Comcast is in talks to by NBC Universal in whole or in part. Thank goodness for CMRR (Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue)! Harper Collins is holding back the digital release of the upcoming book by Sarah Palin in order to drive hardcover sales. The ebook won’t be released until after Christmas. Do people buy Kindle devices because the books are less expensive, knowing that they’ll earn their investment back over time? We’d like some data on that… John bought his first Vook today. Apple has approached magazine publishers about creating “iTunes for Print” with the magazines to be read on the company’s upcoming tablet. The magazine industry thinks it can do it themselves. Senator Benjamin Cardin has proposed a bailout for the newspaper industry. We cringe. Let them become extinct - just as long as journalism doesn’t die with them. We need journalism but we don’t need newspapers. CNN just released their iPhone app. Sirius XM is now adding an additional $2 fee to your monthly bill to cover the performance royalty fees paid to musicians and artists. Since Howard Stern’s deal with Sirius was tied to the stock price which is now at an all-time low, how will he have fared at the end of his contract? Howard Stern will be the greatest, most successful podcaster ever once his contract with Sirius XM is up. It would also make a great iPhone app! Click rates on display ads have dropped 50% to only 16% of the online audience. “The ad networks are ruining online publishing.” — Whiny Publishers CPM ads on videos are doing pretty well, according to Viddler. Free All Media wants to deliver ad-supported song downloads. It’s like Deja Vu all over again… Pandora went from near death to profitability in a year’s time.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) opine about: Events: Craig and John will be attending Web 2.0 Expo New York, November 16 - 19 An Historic Week: Happy 40th Birthday, Internets! Happy Birthday, Banner Ad! Craig worked on the campaign to create that first banner. Jeff Jarvis talks about Howard Stern 3.0: The Future of Entertainment Sirius XM Year-Over-Year Net Susbcribers haven’t increased in a year AT&T’s Network Problems Could be Self-Induced by Poor Architecture Chia-Lin has groped the Droid and is in love with this new gadget. Google has released Android 2.0 along with Droid, brings free Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation. A game changer, to be sure. Even with an exclusive on the Palm Pre, Sprint still lost subscribers last quarter We love Julius Genachowski, the new head of the FTC. The FTC wants to buy back TV spectrum to make it available for mobile devices. Broadband is now a universal right in Norway. Netflix Streaming is coming to the PS3 and Wii Roku released two new boxes: the Roku HD-XR and the Roku SD Netflix will offer a streaming-only service, but not in the US. WTF!? It probably has something to do with rights. Steve would drop cable altogether and go IPTV. What about Cable a la carte? Never happen. Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.

In this episode, John Federico (twitter: @gadgetboy), Craig Calder (twitter: @ccalder), Chia-Lin Simmons (twitter: @zeropts) and Steve Hatch (twitter:@shatch) make their predictions for 2010. John’s Predictions Google will give Apple the most competition of any other company in mobile Apple will begin to take web services seriously, embrace “content in the cloud” Early adopters will burn out on social media eBook readers will become mainstream, $9.99 will remain the standard price point. Big publishers scream in agony. Magazine publishers need it to survive. Facebook’s privacy settings will spur lawsuits Live and real-time will be commonplace among early adopters Steve’s Predictions: SEO is Dead! Long-live real-time search The fax machine will see a resurgence via twitter iPhone and Android adoption will start driving down data plan costs to make mobile data almost free Apple’s Tablet will be a no-show or way too expensive to be relevant Microsoft will finally lose ubiquity with IE due to the EU settlement and the push of Firefox, Chrome and other Webkit browsers (Safari) Location based apps will be standard for all devices (mobile and otherwise) No one in the ODM Crew will buy a Blueray player or disc EVER! By Q4 2010 30% of all TV sold will be Internet capable Cloud computing … was the hype in 2009, but will be a standard for all tech companies including Apple Facebook will hit 500M users by the end of the year Craig’ s Predictions: Hyper local will be old news You’ll have no Mac tablet and like it Tiger Woods will keep sponsorship with EA Sports Gaming Bing will leave Yahoo in the dust and easily take over 2nd place in search The Bing iphone app will be huge Chia-Lin’s predictions: Android will be 15% of the smartphone market in US market by end of 2010, Android market place will be extensive Lala will be Apple’s cloud/web service for media distribution, starting to minimize their download model The eReader market will heat up by Q4 , 2010. The Kindle will hit critical mass for Q4 holiday season, and go for a sale price of $100 The magazine “hulu” by the consortium of magazine providers will build momentum by Q3 in terms of partnerships, but not launch until 20115. Chia-Lin will have the Starwars sleeping bag from ThinkGeek that was featured in Gizmodo (sleeping in guts is the way to keep warm on a frozen planet after all…). Will never be able to get a mini-donut maker since she is devoting 2010 to taking a pilates classes and getting in shape… Chia-Lin may end up with a iphone…tech gods willing…(or else, she will have to go with the Droid by mid next year) Our music is Democracy from Alexander Blu.
