Podcasts about Five Minutes

Recognizing failure patterns is the closest thing an innovator has to seeing the future.   If you can recognize the patterns, you can change the future, because most failures are not original. They repeat, and that repetition is the pattern: the same handful of patterns reappearing in one organization after another, decade after decade.   This one stings a little.   In 2011, Bill Geiser told me, almost word for word, how the project we had spent the past two years building was going to fail. He saw the pattern before I did; I heard him say it, and I never forgot it.   The failure still happened.   This is not a pre-mortem. A pre-mortem imagines new ways your plan could fail. Recognizing failure patterns means learning from failures that have already happened elsewhere and spotting the early signals before you repeat them, while there is still time to act.   By the end of this episode, you will have four patterns in your own library, a five-minute way to check any project against them, and the four steps to take when you find one.   Let's get into it. The Smartwatch We Killed In 2004, Fossil hired a watch-technology executive named Bill Geiser to help build innovative technology for their watches. A few years later, he and I started spending real time together, me as HP's CTO, him running watch technology at Fossil. Between us, we had an idea we both believed in: a connected wearable, years before anyone used that phrase, co-innovated by HP and Fossil, with each bringing its expertise.   Fossil named the resulting platform the MetaWatch. It ran an ultra-low-power processor with a 96 by 96 display, an accelerometer, and Bluetooth. It was designed to last a week on a charge, and it shipped with a full developer kit so anyone could build apps for it. We revealed the partnership in March 2011, at an HP event in China. And between us, we had the one thing Apple did not have in 2011: distribution. HP held roughly ten percent of consumer-electronics shelf space. Fossil sold through twenty thousand retail stores that carried its watches.   Bill saw the ending before anyone. He told me in 2011: "Phil, I wouldn't be shocked if Apple evolved the Nano to take advantage of this space. They'll legitimize it in consumers' minds worldwide."   So the man building the watch spotted the failure in advance, out loud. And naming it changed nothing.   The signs kept arriving in plain sight. HP went through three CEOs in thirteen months. In August 2011, Leo Apotheker killed HP's consumer mobile strategy and WebOS, which removed the platform that made a smartwatch matter to HP at all. The battery lasted three to four hours against the original target of a week. We ran month-long approval cycles for changes that startups could implement in days.   Then I went out on medical leave. When I came back six weeks later, HP had killed Palm, WebOS, and the connected wearable project.   Here is what the ignored warning turned into. The Apple Watch shipped in April 2015. It sold 4.2 million units in its first quarter, and by that fall Apple was selling three out of every four smartwatches on the planet. The market we walked away from grew from three hundred thousand units in 2012 to forty-five million by 2018, and Apple held fifty-one percent of the market share.   The idea was never the hard part. It never is. The hard part is committing. What Recognizing Failure Patterns Means Nothing that killed the MetaWatch was new, and none of the signals were faint. They were loud; they were ignored, and each one was a pattern that has killed projects for decades.   Recognizing failure patterns has two halves. The first is building a library of how failures repeat. The second is matching the situation in front of you against that library, and forcing what you find into an actual decision while the fix is still cheap. Bill did the first half. Neither of our companies did the second, and the gap between those halves is where the Apple Watch came from.   Here are four entries for your library, straight from this one failure. Each one ends with a test question. By the end, you will have a four-question checklist, and then I will show you what to do when a pattern shows up. Pattern 1: Success Protects Itself Fossil's traditional watch business grew from $950 million in 2004 to $3.25 billion by 2013. It was tripling while we were building the thing that might replace it, and that growth made cannibalizing it politically impossible. Fossil never had to kill the MetaWatch outright. Fossil positioned the watch as a two-hundred-dollar development platform, something no ordinary customer would ever be handed at a retail counter.   When we constrain what we're innovating so it doesn't risk the present, we've lost the future.   Test it: Is the new thing priced, staffed, or positioned so that it cannot hurt the current thing? If the answer is yes, this pattern is already running. Pattern 2: The Warning That Changes Nothing Bill's warning was specific, early, and exactly right, and it still changed nothing. I heard it directly, and hearing is not the same as deciding: nobody re-ran the plan with "Apple arrives and legitimizes the category" as an input, no roadmap changed, and no budget moved.   Test it: What decision changed after the warning? If the honest answer is none, the warning was never acted on, no matter how many people remember hearing it. Pattern 3: The Problem Nobody Owns A week of battery life was the MetaWatch's central promise, and it shipped at three to four hours. Both companies saw the gap. No one owned fixing it. The hardest problem on the project sat on the seam between two companies, and problems that sit on seams get reported, tracked, and carried forward without ever belonging to anyone who can be asked why the problem is still there. We ran that partnership for two years and never settled whose job it was to lose sleep over the one number that mattered most.   Test it: Who owns the hardest problem, by name? If the answer is a partnership, a committee, or a pause, then nobody owns it. Pattern 4: The Pace Mismatch Earlier, I shared that we ran month-long approval cycles for changes a startup could implement in days. That is a pacing problem: the organization's internal pace versus the market's. A smartwatch in 2011 was a fast-moving product running through slow-moving machinery, and no amount of talent inside the project could close that gap. The delay was structural, not personal.   Test it: How long does one small change take to approve, against how fast the market moves? Time a real one. Do not estimate it. Five Minutes on a Project That Died The four patterns are the start of your library. Before you use it on a live decision, test it on a dead one.   You have a dead project in your past. Everybody does. Pick the one that still stings and give it five minutes against the four test questions.   Was an existing success being protected while the project starved, in pricing, staffing, or positioning? Did people raise a warning, and what decision changed after it was said? Who owned the hardest problem, and can you name the person? And how long did a small change take to approve, against how fast the market was moving?   When I run the MetaWatch through those four questions, I find all four patterns. Your project will probably show fewer. Every pattern you find is one you will now recognize as it happens on the project you are working on right now. The Four Steps When You Spot a Failure Pattern Which brings up the harder half of the skill, because recognition alone did not save us. Suppose you had been standing next to me in 2011, holding all four of these patterns. It would not have been enough. Being right about the future means nothing without the organizational machinery to act on that insight.   So when a failure pattern appears on a live project, follow this sequence.   Step one: Say the failure pattern out loud, in the room where the decision lives. Not in the hallway afterward. Use the pattern's name.   Step two: Get it onto the decision memo. A warning that lives only in conversation changes nothing. Write the pattern and what it costs into a document that will drive a decision.   Step three: Attach an owner. If you identify a critical problem, assign it to one person. Not a team or an organization. Someone you can ask next sprint why the problem is still there.   Step four: Attach a date. Being early provides an advantage, and a failure pattern without a date on it fades unnoticed.   Bill was right for four years, and Apple was the one who acted on it. That could have been us if we'd had the organizational courage to back our vision with meaningful resources. Conclusion You now have what nobody handed me in 2011: four patterns of failure, a five-minute check, and the four steps to run when you spot one. What you do in the room where the decision lives is the part Bill's warning never got.

Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn open the episode by celebrating the milestone of reaching 201 shows and reflecting on listener engagement from Oshkosh and beyond. The main topic focuses on the first five minutes of flight, the phase where workload spikes as pilots manage engine start, avionics, passengers, and clearances before taxi. They stress the importance of sterile cockpit discipline once the engine is running to prevent distractions that can lead to incidents like runway excursions. Wally shares his approach to control checks before engine start and using checklists as verification tools rather than to-do lists. The conversation covers common checkride mistakes such as incomplete taxi readbacks that omit the assigned runway and failing to anticipate instructions by listening to other traffic. During the taxi to run-up phase, they highlight situational awareness in congested areas like the delta ramp at Hooks Airport and the value of positioning to allow space for others. Bobby outlines his three-part mental model of setup, decision point at run-up, and final go/no-go assessment while advocating for finding reasons not to fly rather than reasons to proceed. The takeoff decision includes the fifty-seventy rule for aborting if rotation speed is not achieved halfway down the runway and personal flows like lights, clocks, and fuel. In the initial climb they stress completing the after-takeoff checklist promptly to avoid configuration issues such as forgotten flap retraction. The episode closes with a listener challenge to develop and test a personal first-five-minutes flow along with a candid confession from Wally about once departing with a rudder gust lock still installed.

In this special episode we go behind the scenes with memoirist Deepa Paul, essayist, cookbook author Gina Beach, and novelist Daisy Buchanan and talk about the two things that keep them going: the passion behind the work, and the practice that makes the work possible. From an essay that no editor wanted to a Women's Prize-longlisted memoir, a personal research rabbit hole that became a four-year book project, and the journey from idea to novel, this is a personal conversation with three writers about about why they write the things they write — and what kept them going. You'll learn Why an essay no editor wanted a decade ago turned out not to be an essay at all. How to break a book into tasks small enough to finish inside a single hour. The case for treating your own interior life as seriously as any grand subject. How a rabbit hole of personal research turned into a four-year book project. Why the hardest part of self-publishing has nothing to do with production. When procrastination is doing useful work, and when it's just filling the gaps. What changes in your writing once you stop trying to get it right. A reason to stop measuring a writing session by its word count. How sitting alongside other writers quietly rearranges your sense of your own work. The tidal metaphor that makes a bad writing day easier to let go of.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start with my this training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Have you ever tried to fix your spouse? Push a little harder, remind a little more, explain it one more time, and eventually they will just get it?Jackie Kelley did that for years. Then she realized the thing she kept trying to change was often just a brain that worked differently from hers.Jackie is a neurodivergent content creator, illustrator, children's book author, wife, mother, and founder of JK Illustrates. Diagnosed with ADHD at 30, after motherhood knocked down what she calls the “perfect house of cards” she had built around herself, she began sharing what she was learning about ADHD, marriage, and family life. Her viral “Marriage Rules” videos took off in 2024, and her book, So You Married a Human, comes out October 6.She and her husband married two weeks after she graduated, having never spent more than 72 consecutive hours together. Two very different neurodivergent brains, each convinced the other person's way was the problem, eventually built a set of rules to communicate better in the middle of conflict.In this episode, Jackie and Tracy get into “Voted Off the Island,” “No Wrong Answer,” “Do It Yourself,” and “Love This Idea for Five Minutes.” They also talk about sensory overload, defensiveness, the “little man” screaming in everyone's head, why the goal of a fight cannot be winning, and why laughter matters so much in an ADHD marriage.If you have ever quietly resented your partner for not doing something the way your brain needs it done, this one is for you.Resources: Website: https://www.stayathomejackie.com Website: https://www.jkillustrates.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Stayathomejackie Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stayathomejackie Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

In which Robert & Amy discuss rational strategies for discussing mixed cases, complex issues, current events (political and otherwise).  Finding, celebrating, living, and leaving Ayn Rand and/or Objectivism.  How to answer trolls, drive-bys, friends, and family.  Also, Mary Poppins, Rock & Roll, and Happy National Book Lovers Day! 

Two families, two very different relationships with the help that was available to them — and this week both stories collided. Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court just wrapped three days of heavy testimony: Patrick Clancy on the stand for two of them, his 911 call played for a visibly shaken jury, and first responders walking the courtroom through the scene itself. Then prosecutors produced nine prescription bottles. Most still had pills in them. That single detail cuts against the defense's central argument — that Lindsay was overwhelmed by medications her providers kept adjusting. Her lawsuit says a postpartum program discharged her after one day in December of 2022, after providers noted her symptoms might be medication-related and told her to taper off an antipsychotic. She was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General. She knew exactly where to go for help — and got a single day of it. Compare that to Nick Reiner, who told reporters in 2015 he'd been through somewhere between seventeen and eighteen rehab stays since around age fifteen, all arranged and paid for by his family, including a yearlong conservatorship. He's now charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner and has pleaded not guilty. Tony Brueski connects what jurors just heard about those pill bottles and that twenty-five-minute errand prosecutors won't stop mentioning, to the bigger question underneath both cases: whether endless access to treatment and almost none of it produce the same outcome, and what that says about the systems built to catch people before this happens. Reiner has pleaded not guilty and no motive has been officially confirmed. Clancy's jury has not returned a verdict, and prosecutors argue she acted intentionally and should be held criminally responsible. Hashtags #LindsayClancy #NickReiner #HiddenKillers #PatrickClancy #PostpartumPsychosis #PlymouthSuperiorCourt #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #RobReiner Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us Fan MailI loved butchering chickens.My mother hated it.And believe it or not, that story helped me sell more than one bathroom.During my years in bathroom-remodeling sales, I learned that the best way to stop being strangers wasn't a clever sales pitch. It was to listen.A question about someone's house could lead to a story about where they grew up. Their memory would make room for one of mine. By the time we sat down to discuss the bathroom, we weren't merely a salesman and a customer anymore.This week, a passage from *How to Win Friends and Influence People* reminded me that the people who give us their time make our work possible and they deserve the very best we can give them.In this episode of 'Along the Way', I consider what those sales appointments taught me about storytelling, gratitude, and the childhood memories that can open our hearts to people we have only just met.What story from your childhood do you tell when you want somebody to understand where you came from?Tell me down in the comments.I promise I'll listen.'Along the Way' is my Sunday journal about building 'Five Minutes in America' and becoming the storyteller the work requires.Get your free pocket Constitution at https://YourPocketConstitution.com.I'm Tony Michaels.

Send us Fan MailSome stories entertain us.Some stories stay with us.This is the story that stayed with me.When I was a teenager on a family vacation to Colorado, I heard a storyteller named Scotty Vaughn perform "Rindercella," a classic story written by Archie Campbell of Hee Haw. I had no idea that one evening at the Flying W Ranch would shape the way I would tell stories for the rest of my life.Looking back now, I don't think I brought that story home.I think...It brought me.Today I'm building Five Minutes in America—a storytelling project dedicated to preserving the stories, character, and principles that have always made America worth passing along.If this kind of storytelling speaks to you, I'd love to have you become a member.

Send us Fan MailWhy does a Pilates studio close its doors the moment class begins?

In this heartfelt episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, author and medium Tammy Young shares an unforgettable true story from her book, Afterlife Bonds, reminding us that love doesn't end when someone leaves this world.Tammy recounts traveling to California for the funeral of her brother, Matt. Already emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed, she found herself navigating unfamiliar roads without working GPS, worried about arriving late for the evening visitation. After pulling into a busy shopping center to regroup, she discovered that the visitation had been postponed because Matt's casket had been delayed.As the stress of the moment melted away, Tammy glanced at the car parked beside her and was astonished to recognize her niece, Christina. Neither had planned to meet there. Both had arrived independently, and both were amazed by the seemingly impossible coincidence.Reflecting on the experience, Tammy believes it was far more than chance. Knowing her brother's playful personality, she felt certain that Matt had orchestrated the encounter as one final practical joke—while also providing comfort, reassurance, and connection during a difficult time.Through this remarkable story, Tammy invites us to remain open to the possibility that our loved ones continue to accompany us in meaningful ways. Sometimes their presence is felt through memories. Sometimes through unexpected moments of peace. And sometimes, through extraordinary synchronicities that remind us love continues beyond the physical world.Whether you view these moments as coincidence, intuition, or spiritual guidance, Tammy's story encourages us to notice the unexpected, trust our inner knowing, and remain open to the mystery that surrounds us every day.About Today's GuestTammy Young is an author, medium, and spiritual teacher whose work explores the continuing bonds we share with loved ones after they pass.

In this encouraging episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, author, poet, and publisher Dr. Nick Courtright shares a simple yet powerful insight for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to begin.Nick reflects on the familiar experience of "writer's block," suggesting that it isn't always a lack of inspiration—but often a reluctance to start. Rather than waiting for the perfect idea or the right moment, he encourages us to simply begin. Even if the first words aren't perfect, the creative process has a way of building its own momentum.As we continue taking small steps, our thoughts become clearer, our confidence grows, and inspiration begins to flow. What starts as uncertainty can gradually transform into clarity through action.Nick extends this lesson beyond writing. Whether we're pursuing a creative dream, launching a new project, or making an important life change, he reminds us that meaningful opportunities often come to those who are willing to put themselves out into the world. Instead of waiting for circumstances to change, we can choose to take the next step with courage and trust.His closing message is both practical and inspiring: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Sometimes peace isn't found in having all the answers—it begins with the willingness to move forward, one small action at a time.About Today's GuestDr. Nick Courtright is the founder and CEO of Atmosphere Press, an independent publishing company based in Austin, Texas. A poet, author, editor, and publishing advocate, Nick is passionate about helping writers bring their stories and ideas into the world.

Jeremy Zakis describes being five minutes late for breakfast, leading his dog, Dallas, and local magpies to protest through a glass door. The animals vigilantly monitored the food preparation to ensure they were fed ham and cheese. Both Dallas and the birds finished their meal within twenty seconds. (12)
