Greg Larkin is am entrepreneur, author, and founder of the executive community Punks & Pinstripes, a curated executive community that gathers people who, as he says, are trying to climb their second mountain. Greg's view of what defines success is a little different. And it is heavily shaped by his personal history. He found success very quickly, by being the first person to predict the 2008 subprime mortgage melt down. That early success skyrocketed him into high-profile roles — but also into a cycle of ego, addiction to recognition, and a sense of disconnection from his true self.In our conversation, Greg walks us through how he hit that breaking point and what came after — the tough reflection, the discomfort of leaving the prestige behind, and the journey toward doing work that truly aligned with who he is. We talked about the difference between surviving and thriving, about leadership that comes from experience versus theory, and about building authentic community in a world obsessed with status.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.compunksandpinstripes.comAdditional Guest Links:Contact at: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/punks-pinstripesGreg LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gregilarkinAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicHonest Mechanik: honestmechanik.bandcamp.com

In this episode, Shannon Lucas, co-CEO of Catalyst Constellations, speaks with corporate punk rocker, Greg Larkin, known as the "Anthony Bourdain of Business" and founder and CEO of Punks and Pinstripes. Like Anthony Bourdain, Greg keeps it real as he authentically shares his story about moving up the career ladder while worrying about losing his true punk rock self. Greg talks about his belief in the importance of "business punks" in driving change, especially during crucial moments of disruption or organizational crisis. He shares how his amazing track record of success was based partly on the ability to pitch outcomes rather than ideas or visions. He explores strategies for navigating and overcoming the corporate immune response system, based on some hard learned lessons. Greg outlines exit strategies for those who find themselves as catalysts in environments resistant to change, including walled gardens, bear hugs, spin-offs, leaving, and transforming from within. He critiques "state-sanctioned" innovation efforts as often being mere lip service and stresses the importance of genuine empowerment and support for Catalysts.

In today's Work Matters, Thomas talks innovation with Greg Larkin, the CEO of Punks & Pinstripes, a network for rebel corporate executives and start up founders. He is the author of the international best-seller ‘This Might Get Me Fired' and shares his expertise for overcoming organizational obstructionism to drive innovation. Greg unpacks the great misnomer about innovation requiring advanced technology and shares how understanding organizational psychology and obstructionism are more essential to success. Through examples of both a winning and losing launch, he illustrates that an executive willing to ask the right questions and tell hard truths is the make-or-break ingredient. Revealing that most innovations don't cross the finish line, Greg describes the five types of obstructionists in each company (skeptics, cops, traditionalists, territorialists, and capitalists) and provides strategies for overcoming each. He explains how, just like in sports, the key success factor is being able to see your opponent's moves in advance and call the best play in response. Greg confides that most CEOs hate the obstructionism in their organizations and advises how to best target innovation to overcome decline and keep up with competitors. He adds that leaders must be willing to have difficult conversations with investors about near-future losses while innovating for long-haul gains. The conversation concludes with Greg sharing how his hierarchy for work requirements has inverted with experience and why this led him to start Punks & Pinstripes. Now in his forties, he has created a community for other rebel executives to find their tribe, make an impact, and achieve status and success - in that order.

Subscribe to my newsletter https://newsletter.prodcircle.com/profileIn this episode I had the previlige of sitting down with a great mind of our century. Greg Larkin, founder of Punks & Pinstripes, shares his fascinating career journey from Wall Street finance executive to startup founder and community builder for midlife entrepreneurs.In this wide-ranging discussion, Greg recounts his experience innovating within big corporations like Bloomberg, predicting the 2008 financial crisis while analyzing anomalous mortgage data, and eventually leaving finance to build his own startups.He explores the difficulties founders face when the startup image promoted by media doesn't match the gritty reality of successful entrepreneurship. Greg explains that while the media loves portraying young startup founders as glamorous, data shows the most successful founders are over 40, but they lack community support.Greg provides hard-won insights on:Why working at a corporation can provide invaluable entrepreneur training despite the challenges of innovating within bureaucratic environmentsHow to innovate within big companies without getting “fired” – Greg shares his framework for anticipating and navigating corporate obstructionistsWhy community is absolutely critical for founder wellbeing and success, but is sorely lacking for older foundersHow he predicted the 2008 financial crisis by digging into mortgage data showing a growing debt-to-income ratio trendWhy founders over 40 are statistically the most successful, yet are ignored by startup media images and lack tailored community supportGreg also shares the three most important lessons he wished he had known earlier as a founder:1. Your success depends on what you say no to – rigorously focus only on the one or two things that matter2. Feel good about yourself even if your big goals aren't met yet – don't tie your self-worth to external outcomes3. Don't try to do this alone - find your tribe and community that understands your entrepreneurial strugglesIf you're a founder over 40, tune in to gain Greg's hard-won wisdom on how to thrive and build something meaningful, rather than get caught up in pursuing glamorous media myths of entrepreneurship. This candid discussion provides an inside look at the realities of corporate innovation and startup struggles no one talks about.

You, you don't, you don't wait for other people to approve what you're doing, and you don't wait for other people to congratulate you on the back. You set your mind towards something and you work your tail off and yeah, you learn and grow and learn from people around you. And, uh, that's what, that's what I did. And so that was the culture. It's like if you're gonna do something, you win and you win the right way. You do things the right way. Um, and you don't make excuses because nobody cares. Nobody cares .

Welcome to a new series from The Mile 99 Interview called “Live at the Bar”. At the Bar, you say?  Well, not the kind of bar you are thinking but the kind trail runners, hikers, and all the rest of us outdoorsy folks think of. Yes! RIVER GRAVEL BARS!We plan to explore all the beautiful bends, twists, and turns of the American River and couple that with a trail run and interview. Cool, huh? We are starting out this new series interviewing our very own Greg Larkin. Join us as we run down from the American River Overlook all the way down to Oregon Bar.A river bar is defined as a ridge-like accumulation of alluvium (such as sand or gravel) in the river channel, along the banks, or at the mouth of a river. The locations of bars are determined by the geometry of the river and the flow through it. During the California Gold Rush, the gravel bars of the American River were extensively mined, stream courses altered, and entire mountain sides washed away. The calm and peaceful places we love today were once loud, busy, and dangerous places full of rough and tough men looking to strike it rich.Oregon Bar is nestled on the North Fork of the American River, just downstream of the Auburn Dam excavation scars at China Bar near Auburn, California and just over 5 river miles downstream of the confluence of the North and Middle Forks of the American River. Many of us know this wide spot in the river as about where the American River ends and Folsom Lake begins. Pioneer Express Trail heads downstream along the west bank of the river and the loud raging rapids of Oregon Bar quiet down as the water slows.

Irreverent. Hysterical. Brilliant. That's how I always introduce Greg Larkin, because it only takes about 3 minutes for someone else to realize it, too. Greg and I get to the marrow of innovation with a bare bones talk about what happens when executives say they want innovation, but prize quarterly profits more. How sharing hard truths - and failures - are the job of innovators and disruptors. And a golden rule of corporate innovation - it simply will not survive or thrive without the unflinching endorsement from the top.  In this episode, you'll hear the stories from Greg's amazing book, “This Might Get Me Fired: A Manual for Thriving in the Corporate Entrepreneurial Underground.” And will talk about the off the wall stories that Greg has heard and used to move innovation forward.

In this episode of the First 99 Gear Review, I sit down again with our very own Greg Larkin for Part 2 of his Winter Off-Season Cross Training Plan. During Part 1 we dug into Greg’s indoor workouts including rowing on the Concept2 and Zwift virtual bike racing on his smart trainer. In Part 2 we head to the White Wonderland for some full body winter cross training activities.As mentioned in the last episode Greg was born in Upstate NY and moved to New Hampshire as a kid. Snow sports go back many generations in the Larkin Family tree with both his grandfathers being avid snowshoers with Forlorn Hope style snowshoes. Greg was always a bike race at heart, but he learned at a young age the value of off-season cross training. It started one Christmas when his parents bought the entire family cross country (XC) snow skis. Greg and his family lived in rural New Hampshire. He and his dad would go out for long XC ski day trips in the nearby town forest. This is when he first learned of the BONK. Cycling is very leg-centric but XC skiing is a full body workout (legs, core, back, and arms). New Hampshire terrain is much different than here in CA. Up in the White Mountains the peaks are much lower in elevation, 4k to 6k feet with plenty of rolling hills in the 1K to 2K feet elevation range. You do not have to worry about altitude acclimation; it’s the extreme temperatures of 10 degrees below zero that will take you out. Greg’s early skis were much different than what he rides today. His first set of classical XC skis were 210cm long, waxless, with fish scales, and 3-pin bindings. The fish scales allow you to move the ski forwards but not backwards. Clothing was also challenging as Gore Tex and waterproof outer shells had not been invented yet. People wore lots of wool, Lycra body suits, multiple layers, wind briefs, long-johns, even fleece booties to cover their ski boots. Now we have many more options but layering is still the key. Tune in the episode to hear all of that and more!Lost Ski Areas: http://www.nelsap.org/nh/nh.htmlWikipedia Ski Bindings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_bindingCross Country Skiing Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-country_skiing#Skate_skiingAuburn Ski Club: https://www.asctrainingcenter.org/Tahoe Donner: https://www.tahoedonner.com/amenities/amenities/cross-country/Royal Gorge: https://www.royalgorge.com/homeTahoe Cross Country: https://www.tahoexc.org/Tahoe Cross Country Ski Swap: https://www.tahoexc.org/ski-swapCSUS Ski Swap: https://sacstateskiswap.weebly.com/Alpenglow Sports: https://www.alpenglowsports.com/Pacos Truckee: https://www.pacostruckee.com/--Your hosts: Greg Larkin / Mike Turner / Jessica HarrisArtwork/logo by Krista Cavender: https://www.kcavenderdesign.com/ | IG: https://www.instagram.com/kristacavender/Intro/outro music: Joseph McDade - Elevation:

In this episode of the First 99 Gear Review, co-host Mike Turner sits down with our very own Greg Larkin to chat about winter cross training activities. It’s the New Year, and the time to start planning our race and training schedules. But many of us have found over the years it’s essential to take time off and let the body heal. Balancing staying fit, letting the body heal, and staying sane is the key to years of healthy adventures. In this two-part series we discuss off-season activities and related gear. During part 1 we dig into indoor activities and during part 2 we focus on outdoor winter activities.Greg’s dad started racing bikes in NH in his 40s and Greg, as a teenager, jumped right in. As a kid he also took up cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. He raced bikes for over 15 years, incorporating skiing in the winter when the roads were too icy to ride. His dad exposed him to his first indoor bike trainer called “rollers”. These required superb balance as both wheels were moving in sync and there was nothing holding up the bike. In the mid 80s, Greg acquired a RacerMate. This was a major upgrade and attached to the bike and generated resistance from a fan unit that rotated against the rear wheel while riding on a stand.After college in the late 80s, Greg moved to Boston and met a buddy who rowed crew for Tufts University. The crew team used an ergometer (erg for short) Concept2 rowing machine when not on the water to train. Typical Greg, it was not long before he signed up for the CRASH-B World Indoor Rowing Championships held in Boston. He ended up buying a Concept2 Model C that day and still pushes his limits on it. He’s never rowed on water, but the rowing machine provides a solid workout once some basic techniques have been learned.Then came that fateful summer day when the Dartmouth University Ski Team blew by him on a trail run, charging up some monster peak in the NH White Mountains. He was bit by the trail running bug. Greg moved to Auburn CA in 2014 and fell in love with the Endurance Capital of the World. Greg is currently cross training with the Concept2 Model C hooked up through the ErgData app on his iPhone and tethered to Strava. For indoor cycling, he is using a Saris M2 smart trainer for virtual group rides via the Zwift app. Greg currently rows and rides 2 to 3 times a week in his “off-season”. Tune into this episode of the First 99 Gear Review to get all the details on what to get, where to get it, and how little it will actually set you back.

We’re kicking off the Fall, pumpkin spice season with a spicy conversation between Charlie and this week’s guest, Greg Larkin (best-Selling Author, This Might Get Me Fired, faculty at Singularity University, guest lecturer, Columbia Business School, and self-professed “innovation punk”). Warning: this conversation might piss you off and get you fired! Charlie and Greg explore the boundaries of what it means to innovate within the confines of a restrictive system (like enterprise companies) and  as an outlier, renegade entrepreneur disrupting old systems (pleasure, pain and everything in between). They discuss how the pandemic will shape the next era of disruptors and why it won’t be led by the atypical founders Silicon Valley still worships (young, college-drop out kids) and why companies will bleed the next generation of disruptive entrepreneurs from within their ranks over the next 5-10 years, during the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. They touch on how their pre-Guilliani, New York City roots and Gen-X “chip on the shoulder” attitudes proved to be crucial ingredients in learning how to embrace non-conformity at an early age and how Greg used this advantage to make bold predictions (the 2008 housing market crash), build disruptive products, and help other would-be entrepreneurs to unleash their inner-badass. ‘Nuff said.

Innovation is No Longer Optional Doug Hall has been in the innovation space for more than 30 years. His new book, Driving Eureka!, is about finding, filtering and fast-tracking to market and includes an update on what is continuously being learned about creating, communicating, and commercializing ideas. In 1986, Doug started Eureka Ranch, an early "accelerator" program focused on commercializing products. He took a system-driven approach to innovation to enable businesses to increase speed and decrease risk. In 2008, Doug created Innovation Engineering, a field of study that will be on over 100 campuses by 2019. Innovation Engineering focuses on how to find, filter and fast-track ideas. He backs it with software that helps users find data through tools like rapid cycles, sales forecasts, writing patterns, and project management designed for innovation. Doug’s seen many ideas get compromised through development. His software captures data and helps businesses use the data as they go through the process. It’s designed to deal with uncertainty and helps companies document, creating quantitative information. Doug uses a Deming approach. Innovation has to be in everyone. May need a culture shift in companies, but have to change the person before you can change the organization. Culture change two ways: led by the top or enable the workers. Train to work smarter in their job.  It’s all about cycles: run experiment, study what you learned, do it again. How does a cycle work? An idea faces three death threats: market risks, tech risks, and organizational risks. Then you get a meaningful uniqueness score. Then put the idea through a 4-step Deming Cycle: Plan (what are you trying to do), Do (what experiment are you running), Study (why did it work), and Act (What are you going to do. Go around again or change, adapt).

Greg Larkin is the author of This Might Get Me Fired: A Manual for Surviving in the Corporate Entrepreneurial Underground. He's also a corporate entrepreneur, launching more than 30 new products with Fortune 500 companies and startups. On this podcast, Greg talks with Brian Ardinger about practical tactics for a corporate entrepreneur forging ahead in new innovation waters. Greg believes innovation only works when there is a very high cost of not innovating. He shares key innovation strategies like finding an innovation executive and seeking out others within the company that identify as corporate entrepreneurs. If you have support within an organization, launching a product in a very short period of time is easier. Greg also suggests to never pitch ideas, only pitch outcomes. Saying no to outcomes caries a risk, while saying no to ideas is easy. As a corporate entrepreneur, if you can solve innovative problems in an innovative way, now is your time. Break through the politics, analysis, and process testing because the market won't wait any more.

Greg Larkin​ began his entrepreneurial life in 2006 when he nearly got fired from an investment start-up, Innovest, for publicly predicting that the booming housing market would collapse. (He wasn't, and it did). As his prediction came true, Innovest’s sales skyrocketed, leading to a $16 million acquisition in 2009. After the buy-out Greg made the tough transition from startup entrepreneur to corporate intrapreneur, learning how to move fast in companies that are often slow, cautious, and hierarchical. Since then, he has built more than thirty products for companies like Google, PWC, Nestle and Bloomberg. He is the founder of Bowery315, a product consultancy which launches new products for huge companies in eight weeks. He is also the Director of Innovation for Spring Design Partners.
