Joshua Berry is the author of Dare to Be Naïve: How to Find Your True Self in a Noisy World. He is also the Co-founder and Managing Director of Econic, an innovation, transformation, and strategy consulting company and Certified B Corporation. Along with his team, Joshua has partnered with US Bank, John Deere, Procter & Gamble, Nelnet, Ameritas, Omaha Public Power District, Farm Credit Services of America, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, among others. As business challenges become increasingly complex, the transformative power of doing good in business creates a flywheel effect that impacts both Return on Investment (ROI) and Ripples of Impact (ROI). Joshua challenges business leaders to think bigger and more intentionally to discover the expansive value of using business for good. Episode Insight: I believe you already have what you need deep inside of you to create this difference in the world, and you've had it there from the start. Something natural, authentic—nativus—naïve. Background: Have you ever been called naïve for suggesting that businesses can do more good and have a positive impact on not only profits but also employees, consumers, and the world? Joshua Berry has. I met Joshua at the ROI of Why conference in Lincoln, NE, where I heard him speak on using naivety to drive curiosity, innovation and growth. During the episode, Joshua and I discuss his book, Dare to be Naïve: How to Find Your True Self in a Noisy World, and why focusing on being a business for good benefits all stakeholders. We discuss how more and more employees, customers, and business leaders agree that how and why money is made is increasingly as important as how much money is made. Yet business leaders often fear being labeled as naïve if they pursue social good while pursuing profit. That fear can be paralyzing, ultimately keeping them from sharing – and acting on – their biggest and best ideas. Joshua also shares his vision of becoming employee-owned and how he's setting the stage in unconventional ways. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

How do we find our true selves among the distractions of a noisy world? Joshua Berry shares with Kevin that being naive can help us reconnect with our innate qualities and authenticity. He explains how naivety can serve as a shield or a source of strength, allowing us to foster optimism and genuine innovation in our personal and professional lives. Kevin and Joshua also explore the tensions between being pragmatic and naive, highlighting how these qualities are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. Joshua also introduces four questions that can help individuals examine their beliefs and make intentional choices - Where did you learn that belief? Is that belief absolutely true? What do you gain by holding that belief? What do you lose by holding that belief?

Bob started as a .NET Developer back in the early days of .NET 1.1 with the goal of converting ASP pages to ASP.NET web applications. During that time, his career progressed from .NET Developer to Lead Developer, to Architect, to where he is today. As a technical director at Octopus Deploy, he helps solve complex customer problems as Octopus Deploy. As a team, we help answer both technical and non-technical questions. Bob has been a fan of making it easier to deploy software since the early 2010s, when working for a company the only time to deploy to production was 2 a.m. Saturday. That has led him down the path of CI/CD, DevOps, TDD, and automating all things. He was exposed to Redgate tooling and Octopus Deploy while working at Farm Credit Services of America and has been a fan ever since. In his current role, Bob gets to work with a variety of technologies every day.   Topics of Discussion: [1:41] One of the biggest high points in Bob's career was being one of the champions of automating database deployments, and seeing that spread across all these other teams. [3:51] Also, he adopted test-driven development and was able to improve the speed of his application from 500 milliseconds per request to 50 milliseconds. [5:20] Bob talks about test-driven development. [7:00] The rules of thumb for people to get right to make running their software system more painless. [8:14] The problem of database management. [10:10] There are two schools of thought: state-based management and migration approach. [12:59] Distributed source control and having a build server are two of the main tools to consider. [15:28] The critical ingredients of monitoring and recovery. [22:07] The two ways to define a tenant. [24:11] One of the advantages of multi-tenancy applications is having a shared application and a shared database, where all the data of all the customers is intermingled with one customer's data. [27:29] Managing complexity in the cloud. [33:53] I's all about improving a little, every day, and practicing to get better just a little bit more.   Mentioned in this Episodes: Clear Measure Way Architect Forum Software Engineer Forum Programming with Palermo — New Video Podcast!

A volunteer board of directors oversees the operation and plans and implements all elements of their services and programs, including the annual conference.
