He's the author of Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance, the host of the Tailgating with Geniuses podcast, and co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. Ken's success, unconventional business approach, and playful outspokenness led him to consulting assignments with household-name brands and transformed him into a highly requested speaker with more than 1,200 keynotes presented globally to date. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ken Schmidt discuss:Human-centered brand differentiationEmotional connection as a competitive edgeReframing traditional marketing strategiesBusiness transformation through customer feedbackThe power of language in brand identity Key Takeaways:Harley-Davidson's resurgence came from abandoning a product-focused mindset and embracing a strategy centered on emotional connection, human interaction, and delivering consistent delight.By directly asking riders one powerful question—“What do we have to change on this motorcycle to convince you to buy it?”—Harley created a fast, impactful loop between feedback and product innovation.The company aligned its brand around three key questions—what are people saying about us, what do we want them to say, and what are we doing to get them to say it—shaping its message and behavior for lasting impact.Harley proved real customer loyalty is built not on specs or price, but on small, repeated experiences that make people feel seen, valued, and emotionally tied to the brand. "What makes a business attractive is when it is known for who it is rather than what it is.” — Ken Schmidt Connect with Ken Schmidt:  Website: https://kenspeaks.com/Torque Sessions: https://www.torquesessions.com/Book: Make Some Noise: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Some-Noise-Unconventional-Dominance/dp/150115561XShow: Tailgating With Geniuses: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tailgating-with-geniuses/id1576378423LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-schmidt-5b08115/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

You only have feelings. This is the paradigm argued for by Nick Shackleton Jones. Nick is the author of the book How People Learn, which offers an entirely new model for learning and cognition which he thinks can massively improve performance, learning, and education.  Nick is many things - he is an author, a speaker, a philosopher, a psychology lecturer, and has worked in both the academic and corporate worlds, including time at the BBC, Deloitte, PA consulting and others in positions centred around learning and innovation. He's a rare individual. I had so much fun talking to him. We talk about his ideas, philosophy, neuroscience, how best to learn, consciousness and AI, among many other things .

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematical genius who left an indelible mark on the world of mathematics. Born in India in 1887, he had an innate ability for numbers and discovered his own theorems without any formal training. Ramanujan's work, often compared to that of great mathematicians, provided insights into number theory, infinite series, and mathematical analysis. Despite facing initial challenges and skepticism, his brilliance was eventually recognized, leading to collaborations with renowned mathematicians like G.H. Hardy. Ramanujan's legacy lives on, showcasing the extraordinary potential of untapped mathematical talent.

Slowly.We get RIGHT into the thick of NFL draft prep, and the panel of Mike, Bob and Jeff evaluate the areas of need on the Eagles.

Welcome back to the Giant Ideas Podcast, Season 2! Today on the podcast we are joined by Rick Fox - businessman, actor, three-time NBA Champion and captain of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant at the LA Lakers.Elite sport was part of Rick's life from an early age - his mother was an Olympic athlete. Rick's own NBA career went on to span 13 seasons, from Boston Celtics in 1991, to captain of the LA Lakers, captaining three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002. Then, Rick did a different kind of pivot. He decided to leave basketball entirely and join the acting and producing world, securing roles in major films and television series such as Denzel Washington's "He Got Game," appearing as the villainous loan shark on "One Tree Hill", and on "Ugly Betty" - he has worked across virtually every major television network with over 30 years in front and behind the camera. Ten years ago he moved into business, starting first an e-sports franchise, and now joining the climate tech world, as founder & CEO of Partanna - pioneers of green cement.Building a purpose driven company?

266: “I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don't have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.” - Klara HascakovaIn this episode, Chelsea and Klara Hascakova explore the concept of "Antichrist Consciousness" (eek! provoking, but listen to the ep for an explanataion) and how collective thought patterns shape personal identity. Are we all really one? They discuss the impact of societal conditioning, the power of gamifying daily life, and why thinking about work and discipline differently can lead to a more fulfilling and energized, zesty existence.“It's a collection of various collective consciousnesses that one individual is tapping into at any given moment.”“I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don't have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.”"The more energy you have, the more you can create your own reality. When you're drained, you default to following other people's rules. But when you have energy, you feel bold enough to make things up as you go.”“I choose to have a playful attitude and I'm gamifying all my tasks so life feels fun and exciting, even when I do daily life stuff.”“If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. One man I know outsourced everything, and his business started crumbling because he was too disconnected."“We don't have to change the current systems. It's more constructive to design your own system within them, one that works for you and keeps you energized.”This episode is an invitation to rethink the way we navigate work, identity, and play. You don't have to work 9-5, grind your way to the top, or do anything the way other people say to. Whether it's shifting your mindset, questioning outdated societal narratives, or gamifying your daily tasks like a game of Mario Kart, Klára and Chelsea encourage listeners to scuba dive into self-inquiry and personal experimentation to create a life that feels truly aligned.Connect with Klara:

265: "I came to a point of realization that everything here is made up. And why I couldn't be just another human being that is going to make something up? I have this audacity within me...I'm very courageous. I love to experiment and see if it's gonna work out. And so far, so good. I feel very supported in these bold choices." Klára Hascakova is a systems designer for geniuses, innovator, Name Patterns expert, and 5/1 Oxford-educated Reflector helping people gamify their lives, play with consciousness and operate outside of traditional conditioning.In this episode, Chelsea and Klara dive into the power of name patterns, why identity is more flexible than we think, how to gamify everything in life, and how designing personal systems can put you in an energetic surplus.Klara shares how changing her name for four years reshaped her self-perception, why she believes everything in life is made up, and how embracing bold experimentation can lead to radical freedom. Talk about AUDACITY!Snippets from the episode:"Identity is a flexible thing. We have way more control over it than we think.""If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. ""The dominant systems we operate in were not designed for women's bodies. We need to learn how to move within them in a way that actually supports us.""I design my own systems—from the way I eat to the way I run my business—so they energize me instead of draining me.""I literally made it up. Everything here is made up. So why couldn't I be just another human being who makes something up?"Connect with Klara:

They explore how companies can balance maintaining core values with embracing new innovations to delight and retain customers.   What You'll Learn   ·       Humans naturally seek and return to sources of delight, regardless of how minor they are. ·        When the human connection is made, business wins.   Timestamps 03:48 Ken Schmidt's Journey to Harley Davidson 20:16 The Importance of Company Identity 32:04 The Role of Technology in Customer Interaction 34:30 Human Connection 37:55 Building a Memorable Business 43:20 Creating a Culture of Delight   Memorable Quotes ·       “Harley does all this other stuff that, that hits people at a human level.

That's exactly what customers are not looking for.” [27:55]   Websites: fambizforum.com. www.chrisyonker.com. kenspeaks.com LinkedIn: @KenSchmidt Tailgating with Geniuses Podcast   Ken Schmidt Bio:   It's an impersonal world, where so many products and services are seen as easily-replaced, indistinct commodities. Whether you stand out or get lost in the crowd is a choice. A mindset. Ken Schmidt faced those same challenges himself and gained acclaim for his role in the extraordinary turnaround of the legendary Harley-Davidson Motor Company. That transformation was based on a change in mindset and a focus on answering three key strategic questions. While times have changed, what humans want and need from the businesses they buy from and work for hasn't. In his high-energy speeches, Ken inspires companies and individuals to shift their thinking and ride a path to success by becoming memorable – not for what they do or what they make, but for how they connect with people. Ken is author of Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance. He's also host of the Tailgating with Geniuses podcast and co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. In all of his endeavors, Ken brings an unconventional perspective that helps organizations and individuals reframe how they engage with their marketplace.   Ken Schmidt's career in the motorcycle industry began in 1985 as a specialist in corporate positioning and media relations for the then-struggling Harley-Davidson. He was tasked with helping the company restore its image, improve its competitiveness, and create demand for its motorcycles. Within a few short years, sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles skyrocketed, and the company returned to prominence as one of the most respected, profitable, and frequently reported-on companies in the world. In 1990, Ken became director of Harley-Davidson's corporate and financial communications, serving as its primary spokesperson to the media and the financial communities. He frequently appeared in mainstream and business media to offer insights on nontraditional communications, customer attraction, and brand-building. His expertise and success at Harley- Davidson ultimately led to consulting assignments and speaking invitations from all over the world. In 1997, Ken left Harley-Davidson to take an ownership position with a highly successful Chicago-based marketing firm, VSA Partners. In addition to Harley-Davidson, VSA served a virtual who's who of the world's best-known brands. In 1999, he sold his portion of VSA to start his own business, Ken Schmidt Company, to combine two of his greatest passions, motorcycling and speaking. He uses motorcycles as a metaphor to expose people to proven ideas and concepts they've likely never imagined.   In addition to speaking and consulting, Ken is co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. Through a combination of hands-on training and interactive workshops, these sessions help individuals and organizations re-position themselves to become dominant competitors, maximize leadership effectiveness, build a people-first culture of innovation and foster loyalty among customers and employees.   Ken is also the host of the popular podcast Tailgating with Geniuses, wherein he talks with some of the most innovative and successful leaders in a variety of industries to discuss their unique perspectives on leadership, major challenges, and success. Ken's relatable and engaging hosting style has made the podcast a hit with listeners looking to learn from the best and achieve their own personal and professional goals.   Ken authored Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance, which gives business leaders an easy-to-follow roadmap for improving their competitiveness, using many of the techniques he championed at Harley-Davidson. He considers his work on 100 Years of Harley-Davidson, a global best seller, to be one of his greatest and most rewarding achievements.   After all he has accomplished, Ken remains committed to his philosophy of standing out, taking risks, and having fun in both his personal and professional life. He says, “Never do what's expected, make yourself as noticeably different as possible, and have a lot more fun than you're supposed to.”

How to Take Over the World Key Takeaways  The Life of Isaac Newton: Forever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone Top Isaac Newton quotes from this episode: “Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.”“I keep the subject constantly before me, and wait until the first dawnings open slowly, little by little, into a full and clear light.” “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”Brilliance without passion: Geniuses are not beasts of burden and cannot be chained to whatever problem is set before them; intelligence is only half the equation of genius – it is the excitement that generates most of the action Learning as a form of obsession: Newton learned as a form of obsession, which is the vital ingredient for achieving greatness Balancing Obsession and Moderation: Too much study and too much passion will lead to madness Newton on imagination and fantasy: “Fantasy is helped by good air, fasting, and moderate wine. It is spoiled by drunkenness, gluttony, and too much study.” Newton was driven to understand things from first principles; he obsessively tried to quantify everything  Newton made his crowning scientific achievement at the age of 44, publishing the Principia in 1687; this work laid the foundation for classical mechanics, introducing his laws of motion and the law of universal gravitationNewton's child-like love for the world and his desire to understand the world around him led to his greatest breakthroughs Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIsaac Newton was one of the great geniuses in human history. He established the basic laws of physics, discovered the laws of gravity, invented calculus, and refined the scientific method. On this episode we take a look at how he was able to accomplish so much by analyzing his strategies, tactics, and work habits. --- Sponsors: VanMan.Shop - Use code TAKEOVER for 10% off https://www.vesto.com/ - All of your company's financial accounts in one view Speechify.com/Ben - Use code Ben for 15% off Speechify Premium HTTOTW Premium - For all endnotes, takeaways, and bonus episode, subscribe to How to Take Over the World Premium --- Stay in touch: Twitter/X: @BenWilsonTweets Instagram: @HTTOTW Email me: Ben@takeoverpod.com Sources: Isaac Newton by James Gleick --- Writing, research, and production by Ben Wilson.

With the release of the Brian Eno documentary, one has to wonder: What is the real cause of our cultural stagnation? Is it that the United States is incapable of creating new geniuses, or that all the geniuses are working now in tech? Nico and Jessa get into how media consolidation, a failing educational system, and the so-called democratization of creativity have created an entertainment industry where mediocrity reigns and "Fail Better" is just a techbro motto. Also: the effect of Trump's anti-DEI efforts and whether China just released an OpenAI killer.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

EPISODE 485 - Wendy Dale - Memoir Writing for Geniuses, Peru and Grandma's PiesAbout Wendy Dale"Wendy is the best instructor I've had, bar none. She continually pushes you and never lets you settle for good enough. She is knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and has an excellent sense of humor! I would take a class again with her anytime." -- Sandra Carpenter"Wendy is phenomenal! I've taken dozens of writing courses and completed an MFA in creative writing. Never have I received such useful instruction. I'm happy that I'll be starting her advanced course next week." -- Mary Rowland"Wendy exceeded my expectations. I was stunned by how much practical information I learned and by how much I grew as a writer. The class was, in a word, invaluable!" -- Carly Van Thomme"Wendy encourages her students to dig deeper -- and the results show. I highly recommend her. She is insightful, conscientious, and supportive. I couldn't ask for more." -- Michele Meek"Wendy is that tough critic who can be the best thing that happens to your manuscript." -- Lucey BowenAcclaim for Wendy's memoir"Deeply funny."    – Vogue Magazine"Wry, funny."     – Outside Magazine"Mix David Sedaris, Lucille Ball, and a fifth of tequila in a blender [and] you get Wendy Dale, who is quite possibly the funniest travel writer since Homer. But strain off the foamy giggles and you're left with a raw, smart, and passionate woman in search of herself and awestruck at the beauty of even the ugliest corners of the earth."   – Deborah C. Kogan, author of Shutterbabe""Dale has an amazing ability not only to find intrigue and drama and hardship but to meet them all with an undampened sense of humor and a roving eye for the absurd. And by getting entangled in other people's lives, as opposed to hiking through rain forests, she enjoys glimpses into worlds forever closed to the average tourist. A few years ago, Janet Malcolm, writing in the New Yorker, complained that she ‘always found travel writing a little boring' because ‘travel itself is a low-key emotional experience, a pallid affair in comparison with ordinary life' … which is absolutely true, unless you travel like Wendy Dale."   – Thomas Swick, travel editor of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel"This is a wonderful book – not a subversive treatise on rule-breaking as the title might suggest, but a witty, insightful memoir of a young woman from an offbeat, though well-traveled family."    – Bookpage"With grace, charm and abundant humor, Dale narrates her meandering story of a childhood regained, ‘a chance to make rash decisions, to take wild risks, to lose everything knowing I'd still have plenty of time to earn it all back.'"   – Time Out New York"Funny, impulsive, and alluringly naïve, Wendy Dale is repeatedly swept into adventure and trouble and love, mostly when she's looking the other way. I had a great time going along on her wacky journey. I read the book in one sitting, reluctantly getting up midway to make a sandwich, placing the open book on the counter so I didn't have to stop reading."   – Rita Golden Gelman, author of Tales of a Female Nomad https://www.geniusmemoirwriting.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In 2018, 12 Geniuses host Don MacPherson was told that he was a candidate to have both his hips replaced. With two young children in diapers and believing he was too young for the procedures, he put off the surgeries for two years. The pandemic extended the wait until 2023. By that time, Don's mobility had become limited, he was irritable, sleep was difficult, energy was low, and he wondered if he would ever be able to restore a life that was without constant discomfort. In this interview, Don turns over the host microphone to his friend Jason Lauritsen to discuss what Don learned about himself and becoming resilient. Don and Jason discuss how being open to feedback was crucial in helping Don realize that he needed to improve his health, how an audit of Don's values helped him understand that his family would suffer if he didn't take care of what ailed him, why this story might be relatable to others who are experiencing chronic pain and those who are living with someone in chronic pain, and how Don has gained a renewed sense of optimism about the future from this experience. They go on to talk about why building resilience is vital for anyone who wants to have a long, successful, fulfilling life and Don shares what he would like to do with the next 25 years of his life. Don MacPherson is CEO of 12 Geniuses and host of the 12 Geniuses podcast.
