Recently, Keith has been at the forefront of remote team transitions since his published research in 2012-2015 appeared in Harvard Business Review. “Leading Without Authority is a radical new workplace operating system in which leadership no longer demands an office, an official title, or even a physical workplace.When external pressures are mounting, and employees are working from their homes, we can no longer afford to waste time navigating the complex chains of command or bureaucratic bottlenecks present in most companies. But when we choose the bold new methodology of  Co-Elevation  as our operating model, we unlock the potential to boost productivity, deepen commitment and engagement, and create a level of trust, mutual accountability, and purpose that exceeds what could have been accomplished under the status quo. Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency."

JAKALA⁠ è l'azienda italiana leader nella marketing technology. Matteo cresce negli scout, da lupetto a capo scout, e come nome sceglie Jakala, il coccodrillo del libro della Giungla. Questo nome lo accompagnerà per tutta la vita. Adesso Jakala è la sua azienda, presente in 15 paesi europei, e che fattura €380 milioni l'anno che punta a raddoppiare entro il 2024. Ma raggiungere questo successo non è stato un percorso facile e veloce. La storia di Jakala inizia quando i genitori regalano a Matteo un giro attorno al mondo e lui torna con un libretto riempito di idee di business. Una volta tornato a Milano, Matteo dà vita alla prima versione di Jakala, un sito di nozze online.  Complice il vento in poppa della New Economy raccoglie subito capitali da investitori importanti, tra i quali Bernard Arnault. Ma la prima idea non va, invece di mollare, Matteo si ingegna per capire cosa non funziona e cambia il business model fino a che non trova quello giusto. Dai matrimoni, Jakala passa alla regalistica aziendale per poi arrivare ai loyalty services (neanche lui sapeva cosa volesse dire inizialmente) e finalmente a una serie di servizi nella marketing technology dove finalmente inizia una crescita inarrestabile. Grazie alla sua grande esperienza, in questo episodio Matteo ci regala tantissimi consigli per fare impresa. L'importanza di saper delegare, il bisogno di trovare il proprio equilibrio e soprattutto il segreto di come gestire 1650 dipendenti insieme a 4 figli. 

Host Pete Moore is joined by an industry pioneer and long-time friend Jill Kinney, currently the Founder/Chairman of Active Wellness. They deep dive into the ever-evolving landscape of fitness for the senior population, focusing on Jill's innovative work with Active Wellness. She shares her insights on redefining fitness centers, especially within healthcare systems and senior living communities, through the creation of Activate—a high-touch, personalized wellness program which are transforming traditional spaces into profitable, consumer-facing wellness hubs.  Drawing from a rich background in developing, owning, and operating fitness clubs, Jill has successfully melded her expertise to create distinct, consumer-focused models within the industry.  Kinney states, "I don't think the health care systems or hospitals per se, really understand marketing. Most of the folks that we've dealt with felt like their medical fitness center was somehow or another going to be so unique that it would have no competition . . . and there's there's nothing further from the truth . . . what we've done is taken our branding, marketing, and sales skills and turned these businesses around, so they're profitable. They're generating 18 to 25% EBITDA returns." Key themes discussed Challenges of managing hospital real estate assets. Personalized wellness program with brain training, recovery, and E-Gym. Excitement for real estate investment opportunities and models. Opening up facility to public feedback. A few key takeaways:  1. Active Wellness is a fitness and wellness management company that provides a unique twist through two distinct models: -Active Wellness Centers: These are similar to medical fitness centers but with a profitability and business focus, making them more consumer-facing and competitive. -Activate Program: A turnkey, approximately $2,000,000 solution with a small footprint (5,000-10,000 square feet), integrating personalized wellness and fitness programs featuring high-tech and data-driven approaches. 2. Hospitals and healthcare systems often underestimate the importance of sales and marketing, especially when it comes to running fitness centers. Active Wellness steps in to turn these facilities into profitable, consumer-friendly wellness centers that attract members and operate with commercial efficiency. 3. The Activate program includes a variety of personalized services such as personal health coaching, registered dietitians, and specialized equipment like eGym for tailored fitness plans. Emphasis is placed on a holistic approach encompassing fitness, recovery, and even brain training. 4. Activate centers generate significant financial returns (28%-35% ROI on invested capital starting from year 2) and transform previously cost-center amenities into profitable entities. 5. Although initially targeted at seniors and independent living communities, the program's appeal is broadening to a younger demographic. Active Wellness plans to scale up, aiming to have around 20 Activate locations in the near future, with a longer-term goal of expanding to 50-100 locations.

The Future of Focused Technology Petter Neby was inspired to create Punkt in 2008 due to his growing concerns about the effects of constant internet access on people's attention spans and lifestyles. His inspiration came from personal experience and observations of how technology, particularly smartphones, was impacting daily life. "With the Internet at our fingertips 24/7, we forget how easy it is to outsource our brains to phones. Choose a restaurant, get directions, ping a friend, go on a date, select some music, download a health app; when in doubt, ask Google. Looking out of a window, sitting on a city bench, chatting to strangers, asking for directions, or getting lost can be great opportunities for serendipity and human interaction. Even boredom, something we avoid more and more with smartphones, is essential for creativity." Petter Neby The necessity of having alternative models in the mobile tech sector, with Petter Neby, Founder & CEO of Punkt. Founder & Chairman of Apostrophy Petter Neby, founder & CEO of Punkt., is a Norwegian technology entrepreneur. Throughout his career, Neby has successfully founded and managed businesses in telecommunications, enterprise software, and website development. However, his most impactful venture came in 2008 when he created Punkt., a company dedicated to offering elegant, focused alternatives to the increasingly dominant multi-function devices in the consumer electronics market.

"If you want to see a world where the US is a leader on Bitcoin...you need to be engaged in the process." - Dennis Porter My guests today are Dennis Porter and Jason Brett. Dennis is the CEO & Co-Founder of Satoshi Action Fund and the President & Founder of Satoshi Action Educate, non-profits focused on building policy and education for lawmakers and regulators on Bitcoin & Proof-of-Work mining. Jason is a former FDIC Capital Markets Regulator during the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis, a policy advisor at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, and Founder & Chairman of the Board at Value Technology which encompasses the use of blockchain to form decentralized, secure data exchanges.  In this episode we discuss bitcoin's regulatory and political landscape, including the hotly debated FinCen proposed new regulation to enhance transparency in convertible virtual currency mixing and combat terrorist financing. While this proposed rule in many ways in overreaching and emotionally tuned, there is much to be hopeful for in terms of the regulatory landscape in the United States toward bitcoin, our legal system, the potential and anticipated Bitcoin spot ETF's, and some bipartisan efforts to promote bitcoin. That said, there is still a lot of disappointment in anti-Bitcoin rhetoric and what many politicians, especially progressives and democrats, seem to be missing about bitcoin. We discussed how to engage in the political process regarding bitcoin and what progress folks like Dennis and Jason have been making on that front and so much more. We are incredibly lucky to have Dennis and Jason on team bitcoin, engaging in this mainstream, political world that is critical to positioning the U.S. as a leader in bitcoin and having U.S. citizens reap the full benefit of what a pro-bitcoin US regulatory and political landscape could look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjMVuyCjEhs  Jason Brett: https://twitter.com/RegulatoryJason  Dennis Porter: https://twitter.com/Dennis_Porter_  Trey Walsh: https://nostree.me/Trey@progressivebitcoiner.com SPONSORS: BitBox: Use promo-code TPB during checkout to get 5% off your purchase: https://bitbox.swiss/tpb  Sazmining: Get $50 off the purchase of a miner using the following link: https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=tpb.

Mr. Pascal formed PLAYSTUDIOS in 2011, positioning the brand to be at the forefront of the then-nascent mobile gaming industry. Mr. Pascal's achievements and forward-thinking insight allowed PLAYSTUDIOS to garner early support from gaming giants MGM Resorts International and Activision Blizzard, among others. Under his leadership, the company grew its portfolio of game offerings and real-world rewards while simultaneously embarking on a global expansion, opening offices and design studios in Burlingame, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Hong Kong; and Tel Aviv, Israel. Through its first decade, Mr. Pascal conceived and led the development of playAWARDS, a groundbreaking loyalty marketing platform that is key to the company's growth and retention strategy. Following nearly 10 years of successful growth across its mobile and social gaming apps, Mr. Pascal led the company's transition to a publicly traded enterprise (MYPS) in 2021. The transaction valued PLAYSTUDIOS in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Pascal remains in the Chief Executive Officer role, along with his founder-led management team. In 2021, PLAYSTUDIOS was honored to win the exclusive rights to develop Tetris in the mobile gaming space. Tetris is ranked the number 1 game in the history of gaming. In 2022, Mr. Pascal led the acquisition of Brainium Studio for $70 million. The acquisition adds a rich suite of popular casual games, such as Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Sudoku, and Mahjong, to PLAYSTUDIOS' portfolio of industry-leading casino style social games. Prior to founding PLAYTUDIOS, Mr. Pascal was widely recognized for his stewardship of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, the flagship luxury casino resort properties owned by Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Having joined the company during its start-up phase in 2003, Mr. Pascal served as Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Development, ultimately ascending to the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer in 2005. Throughout Mr. Pascal's tenure, Wynn Las Vegas garnered multiple awards from the world's leading hospitality guides, including the coveted five Red Pavilions from Michelin, five Diamonds from AAA, and five Stars from Forbes (formerly Mobil Travel). In 2008, Mr. Pascal led the development and launch of Wynn Las Vegas' sister property, Encore Las Vegas. Together, the two resorts are recognized as the world's seventh-largest hotel, with 13,000 employees, 4,750 rooms, and a number of award-winning gaming, entertainment, retail and convention offerings. Under Mr. Pascal's leadership, Wynn Resorts achieved record performance while also making Las Vegas history, garnering Forbes five-star ratings in the hotel, restaurant, and spa categories simultaneously. From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Pascal served as President and Chief Operating Officer of WagerWorks, a company he founded as a casino solutions and content supplier for many of the world's largest gaming and media brands, including Sky, Virgin Group, SONY, MGM Mirage (now MGM Resorts International), Pearson Television, Action Gaming, and WMS Gaming. Following Mr. Pascal's departure, WagerWorks was acquired by International Game Technology (IGT). Mr. Pascal achieved early entrepreneurial success in 1994 with the formation of Silicon Gaming.
