Podcasts about great ideas

Today, I am starting a new series. I was not planning to do so. I was merely going to do the quote that you see as the title of the series, "Leaders are Readers." Then, as I did a little research on that quote, I found quite a few more quotes to help explain the importance and value of that quote and concept. The more quotes I found, the more I wanted to talk about them.And so, we will have a few episodes that deal with the importance of reading. For those of you who are not readers, DO NOT run away from the episodes! They are for you more than they are for those of us who consider ourselves readers already. You will find GREAT IDEAS in here to help spur you on to becoming someone who is a reader, and you will find ways to read that make it easier for you to become someone who considers himself/herself a reader.I will also be introducing a new format that I am going to try to put out to the world that deals with the idea of reading books. Not sure yet when I will talk about it, but it will be at some point in this series. Also not sure when I will actually start whatever it is I plan on doing, but again, you will hear that at some point in the series, too (I think!).But for now, enjoy this journey through quotes about the importance of reading for those of us in leadership positions!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Send us a textThe path to breakthrough ideas starts with… the bad ones.In a world obsessed with perfection, Jason Keath makes a counterintuitive—and surprisingly liberating—case: bad ideas aren't the enemy, they're the engine. As the founder of Social Fresh and a longtime advisor to brands seeking creative edge, Jason argues that creativity is a process, not a personality trait—and the faster we get comfortable with failure, the faster we unlock genius.In this episode, Jason and Jeremy talk about:Why we mythologize creativity—and how to make it practicalThe Fast & Ugly method that beats overthinkingHow constraints fuel creativity rather than stifle itWhat teams get wrong in brainstorms—and how to fix itWhy “creative blocks” are often just fear in disguiseThe surprising neuroscience behind idea volume and qualityWhy marketers, leaders, and founders need to stop waiting for inspirationWhether you're leading a brand, launching a product, or staring down a blank page, this conversation will help you stop polishing and start producing.Links:Jason's site: jasonkeath.comSocial Fresh: socialfresh.comJason's book: The Case for More Bad Ideas (Out now!)

Send us a textStruggling to find that perfect business idea? You might be overlooking a remarkably simple solution. In this insightful episode, I share my battle-tested approach to generating winning ideas that has powered multiple successful ventures.The breakthrough moment came when I realized we're all constantly having ideas—most of them forgettable, some potentially transformative—but without a system to capture them, they vanish into thin air. My journey began with nothing more sophisticated than a Moleskine notebook where I recorded every business concept, website opportunity, and content inspiration that crossed my mind. Each received its own page with a brief headline, supporting details, and date. The front pages became an organized index of possibilities.Though hundreds of ideas accumulated, most weren't viable due to skill, resource, or time constraints. But within this collection, patterns emerged. Certain concepts kept drawing me back, demanding further development. These became the foundation for my current websites and income streams—including KeywordsPeopleUse, which now serves thousands of daily users. The very podcast you're listening to began as a simple notation, an idea preserved rather than forgotten.This approach has evolved with my business. Now we use Trello boards where team members collaborate, comment, and help identify the most promising concepts. But the fundamental principle remains unchanged: record everything without immediate judgment.Ready to unlock your own breakthrough ideas?

I know—it's been over two months since my last episode. I've been buried in writing a textbook and workbook called Is it Really a Great Idea? That's where I've been. And in this episode, I'll share what happened during those two months, how the book came together, and why it became a textbook—not just another business book. This will be the only time I talk about it here, because I'm launching a second podcast focused entirely on idea evaluation and entrepreneurship. Starting now, this podcast will come out every other week. The new podcast will release on the alternating weeks. And yes—I'll be back next episode to finish the last four chapters of The Trust Premium. Thanks for sticking with me. Let's catch up.

Dr. Reinhardt critiques traditional government-funded research approaches and highlights the barriers to innovation in America, including bureaucratic constraints and the influence of venture capital.

For most of us photographers, the reality is that we're not making a living from photography. For many of us, that's deliberate. Some simply don't want to turn a favorite hobby into a job. Others of us may have goals and dreams, but perhaps we're just starting out, or the demand for our particular brand of photography just isn't that high yet. Whatever the reasons, the point is that most of us have to do something else for a living—and everything else that we have to do, from jobs to family obligations, takes away from the time we have to devote to photography. All of that leads to us seeing all kinds of photographic opportunities as we go about the rest of our lives. But, because we are busy with the rest of our lives, we just don't stop to take the picture. I'm sure it's happened to you, and it's definitely happened to me many times. How many times have you noted that thus and such place looked like a great spot for photography—but you didn't have time to stop.., Podcast Notes: https://www.moneymakerphotography.com/taking-notes/ Photography Clips Podcast: https://www.moneymakerphotography.com/podcast/ Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Will.Moneymaker https://www.instagram.com/willmoneymaker https://www.youtube.com/@willmoneymaker https://www.flickr.com/photos/willmoneymaker #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

People love to say they've got a great idea, how it's going to change everything, make them rich, or finally set them free. The problem is, most of them never do a damn thing with it. They talk, they plan, they wait, and nothing happens.  I've had great ideas too. One could've made real money. I did nothing with it. That's not a lesson, it's a warning. An idea without action is worthless. Worse, it becomes life cancer, the habit of telling yourself you'll get to it someday. That habit stacks up. It drags down your personal life, then leaks … Continue reading →

When a Great Idea Doesn't Get a Second Chance This is another one of my What Went Wrong? conversations, and I love these because we all have ideas that don't turn out the way we hoped. Sometimes, they're just bad ideas. Other times, we give up too soon. That's exactly what happened to Nina Froriep, who had a smart, scalable concept for video production—but abandoned it after a rough first attempt. Years later, she watched someone else build a thriving business using the same model. What Happened Nina came up with the idea of a video assembly—a streamlined production process where multiple business owners could shoot professional videos in a single session, saving time and costs. It seemed like a brilliant, efficient approach. She lined up her first participants, booked a location, and prepped everything. Then reality hit. Clients showed up late, skipped the pre-work, or ignored the schedules entirely. The result? Chaos. A few usable videos, a ton of frustration, and an idea that never got a second chance.   Key Takeaways from Our Conversation: Preparation Sets the Stage for Success – Nina assumed experienced business owners would come prepared, but they didn't. In hindsight, she realized they needed more structured guidance before the shoot, including clear deadlines and rehearsals. Investment Creates Commitment – The low-cost nature of the offer meant clients weren't as invested. If they had paid more—or had to complete the required pre-work—they might have taken it more seriously. Persistence Matters – Nina scrapped the idea after one frustrating attempt, only to realize later that it could have worked with some adjustments. Success often comes from iteration, not perfection on the first try. Timing Can Be Everything – Sometimes, an idea is solid, but the execution or the market isn't quite ready. A little patience and a few tweaks can make all the difference. Learn From the First Failure—Then Try Again – Instead of assuming the concept was doomed, Nina could have analyzed what went wrong, adjusted, and given it another shot. Many great ideas need a few failed attempts before they take off. The Bottom Line: Just because something doesn't work the first time doesn't mean it won't work at all. The real trick is knowing when to refine and try again versus when to walk away.

Our guest on the podcast today is David Booth. He's the Chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a firm he founded in 1981. David led Dimensional as CEO and later Co-CEO until 2017, when he stepped back from the daily management of the firm. David helped create one of the world's first index funds in the 1970s and launched the first passively managed small-company strategy in the early 1980s.

Gopi Rangan has invested in 29 early-stage startups from scratch.

This isn't sarcasm. Matt agrees with Coach Prime's idea for a spring game.

We've all been there, when a great idea turns out to be, well, not so great? We've all been there, right? That lightning bolt moment where we think, “This is it! This is the idea that's going to change everything.” And then reality sets in. To share her own “What Was I Thinking?” moment, I've invited my friend Jen Edds, the head brassy boss at Brassy Broadcasting Company. Jen had a vision of launching a daily podcast—short, punchy, and everywhere. But just before jumping in, she took a step back and asked herself the tough questions: Was this the right show? Was this sustainable? And most importantly, was this for her audience? What she discovered might just save you from your next over-ambitious content plan. So, grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some laughs, lessons, and a little tough love on making your marketing work for you. Key Takeaways: Just because an idea is exciting doesn't mean it's the right fit—evaluate sustainability before diving in. Content should serve your ideal audience, not just chase algorithms. Marketing your content is just as important as creating it—don't forget to promote! Be flexible! You can always pivot and adjust your content strategy as you learn more about what works. Whether you're launching a podcast, writing a blog, or creating video content, Jen's story is a reminder that strategy matters more than sheer volume. And sometimes, the best decision is to scale back before you burn out. Jenn Edds is the Head Broad in Charge at the Brassy Broadcasting Company

Are traditional courses losing their appeal in online marketing? In this episode, I dive into the shift towards a tool-driven economy, where templates, checklists, and swipe files are proving to be more effective than traditional courses and training. I share insights from my conversations with industry experts like Rich Sheffrin, Joe Solti, and Adam Dukes, who are successfully using low-ticket front-end products to drive sales. I explain why people are gravitating towards tools that provide immediate value and why implementation is now more attractive than education. I also introduce my upcoming Three-Hour Mini PDF Workshop, where I'll teach you how to quickly create and sell your own digital products using AI. Tune in to learn how to adapt to this shift and start selling what people actually want. Find out here.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Lawrence Sperry, the inventor of autopilot had ONE vice, and it's that he was... well, really horny. Allegedly, Lawrence would use autopilot to step away and have sexual relations with women on the plane.  Lawrence was later involved in a plane crash… some say it was because he was using his autopilot to service a lady, others say it had something to do with the weather.  He and his lady friend survived… but they were found completely stripped of their clothes. And the media went wild. Lawrence became kind of a joke and maybe because of that, he kind of gets forgotten for inventing autopilot.  But this made me realize: the very thing Lawrence invented almost killed him. How ironic. And… he's not the only one. Lawrence is just one of many creators who have had near death experiences with their creations. And some weren't as lucky as he was.  Welcome to the Dark History of creators RUINED by their creations. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
