We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide.This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change', ‘No Bullshit Leadership', and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success'. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive.Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action.Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris' upcoming book here.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indispensable-Seven-Ways-Thrive-Workplace/dp/1529051754 ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Guest: Ben Chestnut, Former CEO and Co-Founder of MailchimpIf you find yourself selling your startup, then Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut has some important advice for you: Get a dog. When Intuit bought Mailchimp in 2021 for $12 billion, the company asked Ben if he wanted to stay on as CEO, but he chose to “walk off into the sunset” and let the new owners take over. After that, he estimates it took 6 to 12 months before he stopped checking his email, social media, and calendar with the same level of stress a CEO might have. Adopting a dog, he discovered, forces you to “get OK with the voices in your head."“After the acquisition, that's all I do, I walk the dog,” Ben says. “And the dog was good therapy ... No judgments from a dog.”Chapters:(01:09) - Growing slow (03:06) - The long journey (07:48) - Is money a burden?

“A Potentialist In Pursuit Of Wisdom” Join me and my guest Ben Lytle (https://potentialistfuture.com), a self-made serial entrepreneur and CEO known for being ahead of the curve. He has launched seven successful companies to date, creating billions in market value, including NYSE listed Acordia, Inc. and Anthem (now Elevance Health) with a current market value of more than $120 billion. He is a healthcare policy expert who chaired or served on state and presidential healthcare commissions and a governance leader with extensive public company experience. Ben has identified five change forces converging to create a New Reality We explore his recommended optimal adaptive actions for individuals, businesses and social institutions.  Summary In this conversation, Blaine and Ben Lytle explore a range of topics including personal backgrounds, the nature of change in society, entrepreneurship, healthcare insights, and the role of AI in improving healthcare systems. Ben shares his experiences as a serial entrepreneur and discusses his vision for the future through his work with the Potentialist, emphasizing the importance of integrated medicine and the potential of AI to transform healthcare delivery. In this conversation, Ben discusses the necessity for humanity to adapt to rapid changes in the world, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, critical thinking, and self-awareness. He explores the implications of population decline, the need to rethink productivity and consumerism, and the potential for unleashing human creativity in the face of technological advancements. Ben believes that by fostering wisdom and awareness, individuals can navigate the complexities of modern life and contribute to a brighter future. Takeaways The conversation highlights the importance of adapting to rapid changes in society. Futurism is distinguished from science fiction by its reliance on facts and research. Building companies requires a focus on mobility and accountability. Integrated healthcare is essential for treating the whole person, not just symptoms. AI can significantly enhance healthcare by integrating patient data and improving outcomes. Personal health optimization is a priority for many entrepreneurs. The experience of patients in healthcare systems needs to be improved through integration. The Potentialist aims to inspire individuals to realize their full potential. Collaboration among healthcare professionals is crucial for effective treatment. The future of healthcare will rely heavily on technology and AI advancements. Only about 15% of people prosper due to adaptability. Wisdom is essential in a rapidly changing world. Critical thinking is the height of rational thinking. The pace of change disrupts relational dynamics. Population decline may lead to greater appreciation for relationships. We need to rethink productivity beyond consumerism. Human creativity will be unleashed in new ways. Awareness precedes choice and opens up possibilities. History shows that humanity can adapt and thrive. The future holds unprecedented opportunities for growth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Guest: Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard; and Bing Gordon, general partner at Kleiner PerkinsIn 2020, when President Trump signed the executive order that would ban TikTok in the U.S., Bobby Kotick called his old friend Steven Mnuchin. The former Secretary of the Treasury told him that, if TikTok's U.S. operations were to be sold to an American company, Microsoft would be the only bidder.A couple calls later, he reached ByteDance founder and CEO Zhang Yiming, who said he'd rather sell to Bobby than Microsoft. Concerned about his ability to get the deal done solo, Bobby called Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and offered to make a joint bid. Nadella declined, but added, “ if the deal doesn't get done, we should sit down and talk about us buying Activision.” TikTok currently remains Chinese-owned, but three years later, Microsoft paid $75 billion for Activision Blizzard.Chapters:Mentioned in this episode: Harvard-Westlake School, Alison Ressler, Vivendi, Berkshire Hathaway, Bruce Hack and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, John Riccitiello and EA, Call of Duty, Bizarre Creations, Atari, Apple II, Commodore 64, Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple Lisa, Howard Lincoln, Philips, Magnavox Odyssey, Sutter Hill Ventures, Infocom and Zork, Toys-R-Us, Howard Hughes, E.
