We reference the recent Grattan Report on specialist referrals and the RACGP Heath of the Nation Report 2025.Vik discusses the application and potential of embedding AI tools in the Consultmed platform and where he sees the future opportunities of the technology. We revisit past podcast themes of the challenges of clinical entrepreneurship and "intra"preneurship and his insights as a CEO and founder in this space.

This episode is a proper wake-up call for anyone who has been seduced by the cult of visibility. We introverts are expected to be louder, shinier, and endlessly present to prove our worth. But what if that whole approach is precisely what drains us and keeps us from creating real impact? I unpack why our quieter, credibility-first path is not a weakness but a way that honours our authenticity. I share the process I use with my clients to build deep, sustainable visibility rooted in substance, not spectacle. Because when we create with intention, our work speaks louder than any performance ever could. Let the visibility vultures scramble for attention while we get on with the business of flourishing, from the roots up.
The same incentive to the players who just want a token for a token that they know and they care about, and then the developer does five minutes of work instead of five months of work. Okay? So it's, we're taking something that works here and something that works here, and we're making a baby, all right, it's, it's this idea doesn't, doesn't exist in its full form.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Open Game Protocol03:04 Token Distribution and Game Ecosystems06:06 Game Developers and User Engagement08:47 Innovative Advertising in Gaming12:05 Real-World Applications and Success Stories15:14 Future of Game Tokens and Ecosystems18:13 Conclusion and Vision for Open Game Protocol21:30 Navigating Competition and Market Dynamics24:10 The Future of Game Tokens and Utility27:23 Creating Value for Developers and Players30:42 Disrupting the App Store Monopoly34:29 Building a Decentralized Distribution Network39:06 Scaling from Indie to AAA GamesSubscribe to our channel and hit the bell "
Reabold Resources PLC (AIM:RBD) co-chief executive Stephen Williams joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with the latest updates on the company's core assets — Colle Santo and West Newton — and the potential value they represent for shareholders. Williams highlighted how Reabold's strategy focuses on unlocking value without taking on additional funding risks. He explained that the company applies a disciplined model of acquiring de-risked assets and enhancing them before exiting or farming out. A previous example of this was the Victory field, which was sold to Shell and has now entered production. Regarding Colle Santo, Williams noted the transaction with Beacon Energy removed funding risk from Reabold while retaining value exposure through a €16 million earnout and a 29% equity stake in Beacon. He said, “We are not putting any more money in ourselves... we've done the Beacon transaction and are allowing Beacon to go and raise the money.” In the UK, Williams discussed early monetisation efforts at West Newton, including plans to use vertical wells to power crypto mining operations while awaiting further development approvals. He said the broader opportunity could include powering data centre operations, given the rising demand. Williams emphasised that Reabold's market valuation does not reflect the value of its assets: “The stock has been trading a little more than our cash value, essentially putting next to zero value onto the two core projects.” For more exclusive interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

It's always difficult finding a deal, even in down markets, but if you're willing to be contrarian, there may be lucrative opportunities that present themselves. One example is vintage 100+ year old multifamily properties in downtown Portland, Oregon. These properties are trading at 300-400 basis points higher than suburban value-add properties that hardly cash flow, and appeal to a large subset of urban renters. Paul Del Vecchio, CEO and Founder of Ethos Companies, is investing in these high-yielding properties. Ethos has developed, manages, and invests in several thousand multifamily units. They also own and manage industrial, retail and office buildings.

Welcome to episode #990 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Lori Rosenkopf is the Simon and Midge Palley Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and currently serves as the Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship. In that role, she oversees Wharton's Venture Lab and its West Coast campus, while continuing her long-standing research into social networks, innovation and how knowledge flows between people, companies and technologies. Before her academic career, Lori worked as a systems engineer for Kodakand AT&T Bell Labs, giving her a rare blend of practical and academic insight into how organizations innovate. She's also the author of the new book Unstoppable Entrepreneurs – 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. It's a smart, grounded book that expands the definition of entrepreneurship, shifting it away from the mythology of Silicon Valley unicorns toward a more inclusive, pragmatic framework of value creation across industries and backgrounds. Lori's experience guiding more than 20,000 students has helped her see entrepreneurship not as a single path, but a set of diverse approaches, whether you're building something disruptive, innovating inside a larger company, or launching a mission-driven startup. In this episode, we explore the evolving nature of entrepreneurial identity and why many of the old narratives no longer fit. We talk about the role of failure, the rise of creators as entrepreneurs and the impact of AI on idea generation. Lori also shares her thoughts on market fit, how to foster innovation in organizations, and why community and mentorship are more critical than ever. There's a realism here that's refreshing: entrepreneurship isn't always glamorous, but it can be deeply meaningful. We also dive into the challenges of corporate disruption, the future of work and the tension between profit and social impact. If you've ever felt like you don't fit the stereotype of an entrepreneur, this conversation might help you realize that the stereotype is the problem… not you. It's a powerful reflection on how we build, why we build and who gets to build. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 56:28. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.comI sat down with Sam Thompson again and we talked about how starting a business really isn't that complicated. We broke down why perfect logos, pricing models, or websites don't matter early on, and how getting on sales calls with nothing to sell is often the best place to begin. We shared an example of a guy who launched a Google Maps optimization service from scratch (no prior experience) and closed clients in under 30 days. We also talked about pricing strategies, paid ads, building confidence through customer conversations, and even how AI tools like Replit and ChatGPT can be packaged into customizable templates and sold as one-time products. If you've been thinking about launching something simple but powerful, this idea might be exactly what you need.

Polish doesn't build trust—personality does. And no one understands that better than TikTok creators, who turn raw ideas into magnetic, shareable content every day.In this episode, we're pulling marketing lessons from TikTok's creative chaos with the help of Rhonda Hughes, award-winning B2B marketing leader.Together, they explore what B2B marketers can learn from leading with authenticity, embracing low-fi experimentation, and having the courage to make something truly original.About our guest, Rhonda HughesRhonda Hughes is a storyteller and connector of people and ideas with 18 years of experience helping brands engage their customers and audiences. She believes in creating value, not noise, and she has a knack for inspiring teams to push boundaries with fresh, fun, relevant content, campaigns, and programs. Rhonda's team's work has earned recognition from Mashable, Business Insider, Hubspot, Sprout Social, KISSmetrics, Content Marketing Institute, and snagged her a spot on North Bay's 40 under 40 “Ones to Watch” list, noted among the “Top 50 Women in Content”, and awarded for "Best B2B Campaign on TikTok."What B2B Companies Can Learn From TikTok Creators:Fun is a strategy—not a distraction. Brands win when they lean into playfulness—not just performance. “The brands that, to me, the companies that feel like they win are the ones that are really always putting their audience in the center and trying to figure out a way to be useful and be human and be playful,” Rhonda says. This kind of joyful creativity builds connection—and makes your brand memorable.Imperfect content is often the most relatable. Audiences don't crave polish—they crave authenticity. “The most engaging content isn't the most polished… you can tell that this was just a creative idea and somebody with their camera and they're rallying the folks internally around how they bring the story to life,” Rhonda says. “And that's part of what makes it so relatable and likable.” Let your audience in on the process, not just the finished product.Iterate like a creator. TikTok's best creators don't get stuck in strategy mode—they test, tweak, and try again. That mindset is essential for B2B marketers too. “TikTok creators are constantly iterating… they've gotta test formats and hooks and trends and sounds, and they have to move fast and be playful with this,” Rhonda says. The takeaway? Strategy doesn't mean overthinking. It means being in motion.Quotes*“You just never know what's gonna work. So you kind of have to be okay with trying and missing and trying again.”*“You want to build content that's gonna resonate with your audience and also be something they want to share.”*“If you're not enjoying what you're making, your audience probably isn't either.”*“It's not about going viral—it's about showing up over and over again.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Rhonda Hughes, Award-Winning Marketer[03:37] The Power of Authenticity on TikTok[06:00] Engaging Content Strategies[10:34] Spotlight on Successful TikTok Campaigns[16:16] Creative Marketing Examples[27:28] The Power of Authenticity in Social Media[29:37] The Bravery of Unique Marketing Strategies[30:33] TSA's Unexpected Social Media Success[32:39] The Importance of Fun and Experimentation in Marketing[42:03] Creating Value, Not Noise[43:37] The Utility of Content and Audience Engagement[50:03] Final Thoughts and Advice for Marketing LeadersLinksConnect with Rhonda on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Josh Patten, a seasoned leader with a diverse background, including a long tenure at Aetna and a deep experience in crisis leadership. We dive into the tension that many leaders face—the difference between leading authentically and being influenced by external expectations. Josh shares his struggles with leadership, the pressure to perform, and how he's navigating the gap between his core values and the demands of his role.The Tension of LeadershipJosh opens up about the struggles of leadership, particularly in high-pressure situations like layoffs and turnarounds. As someone who's often been in a crisis leadership role, Josh reflects on how he's consistently been able to lead others, but in doing so, he has lost track of leading himself. His candidness about feeling disconnected from his values provides a real, relatable moment for anyone in a leadership role who's ever felt the weight of leading others at the cost of themselves.The Disconnect Between Who We Are and What We DoJosh talks about the disconnect he feels between his core self—someone who thrives in vision, creativity, and inspiration—and the daily demands of his leadership position. Even though Josh is where he wanted to be five years ago, he finds himself exhausted and unfulfilled because of the gap between who he is and what he does every day. This reflects a struggle that many leaders face—being stuck in a position where they're thriving externally but feeling drained and unfulfilled internally.Struggling with the Need for MoreEven though Josh acknowledges the successes he's achieved, he constantly wrestles with the idea of wanting more. More impact. More growth. More engagement. He talks about the tension between feeling content with what he has and recognizing there is more he could do. This conflict of always striving for more while trying to appreciate the present moment is something that many leaders struggle with.Leadership and Personal GrowthJosh shares an important lesson: leadership isn't just about managing systems and teams—it's about knowing who you are and where you want to go. Being clear on your values and communicating those values to your team is essential for authentic leadership. Josh's personal story illustrates how his self-awareness and emotional intelligence have guided his journey, but also how challenging it can be to lead from a place of authenticity when there's external pressure to conform.The Struggle to Stay True to YourselfAs Josh reflects on the personal and professional tensions in his life, he shares that part of his struggle comes from wanting to be both a high-energy visionary and a calm, centred leader. This duality often leaves him feeling inadequate, as he tries to fit himself into roles that he believes others need him to fill. However, Josh ultimately realises that the key to overcoming this tension is not trying to change who he is, but to embrace his true self and lead authentically, even when it feels uncomfortable.The Importance of Healthy ConflictThroughout the conversation, Josh emphasises the importance of healthy conflict and being willing to rock the boat. He shares that his most effective leadership moments come when he leans into his natural ability to challenge the status quo. However, he also realises that, in corporate settings, this kind of leadership is often misunderstood as combative. The key takeaway here is that healthy conflict, when done with clarity and respect, can drive clarity and success within a team.Leading from Your Own ValuesIn the end, Josh and I reflect on how the best leaders are those who know their own values and are unafraid to lead from that place of authenticity. Josh's journey serves as a reminder that leaders need to focus not just on their external accomplishments, but also on how they show up authentically, making decisions aligned with their core values. Leadership isn't about being someone else—it's about owning who you are and leading others to do the same.Challenge for LeadersJosh's story is a powerful reminder for leaders to ask themselves: Am I leading authentically, or am I trying to fit into someone else's mould of what leadership should look like? Leaders must lean into their own strengths and values and trust that doing so will help create the type of leadership that attracts the right people and creates lasting impact.Resources Mentioned:Follow Josh on Instagram: @JoshPattenCoachJoin my free Leadership Training: Join me for a leadership session this month.

This episode's guest is someone who's spent her career studying—and championing—entrepreneurs who don't always fit the Silicon Valley mold. Dr. Lori Rosenkopf is the Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School and the author of the new book Unstoppable Entrepreneurs: 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. In this short guide, Lori explores how success doesn't have to mean dropping out of college to start a venture-backed unicorn in your garage. Instead, she highlights seven distinct paths that entrepreneurs can take to build impactful ventures, whether they're bootstrapped, mission-driven, or even working within larger companies. Drawing on her years of research and mentoring at one of the world's top business schools, Lori introduces what she calls the “Six Rs” of entrepreneurial mindset—Reason, Relationships, Resilience, Resources, Results, and Recombination—as core principles that help explain why some founders succeed where others falter. In this conversation, we talk about the entrepreneurs Lori profiled in her book—from disruptors and acquirers to accidental founders—and what their stories can teach us about resilience and innovation. If you've ever thought “I'm not the typical entrepreneur,” perhaps Lori will convince you that maybe there's no such thing. Discussed in this episode Lori discusses the work of Spirovant Sciences and its CEO Dr. Joan Lau. Paul recommends reading Shoe Dog and Super Founders. Wharton offers curriculum in Entrepreneurship & Innovation for both undergraduates and MBAs. The Venture Lab is Penn's home for student entrepreneurs. Some entrepreneurs rely on SBA loans rather than equity investments. The Hult Competition is a global competition that challenges university students to develop innovative social enterprises that address pressing global issues. Get to know Lori Rosenkopf Lori Rosenkopf is the Simon and Midge Palley Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. As Vice Dean for Entrepreneurship, she serves as Wharton's faculty director for Venture Lab, Penn's home for student entrepreneurs, and also their San Francisco campus. In a prior role as Vice Dean of Wharton's Undergraduate Division, she introduced a new curriculum and developed experiential classwork in the tech sector. For over thirty years, Rosenkopf has taught entrepreneurship and management of technology to more than 20,000 high schoolers, undergraduates, MBAs, and executives, connecting these learners to many of the most entrepreneurial alumni at Wharton and Penn through treks, panels, and classes. Rosenkopf received her PhD in Management of Organizations from Columbia University, her MS in Operations Research from Stanford University, and her BS in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from Cornell University. She worked as a systems engineer at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Eastman Kodak between her degrees. Rosenkopf lives in Philadelphia with her partner, Allan, and their dog, Winston.
