In this podcast episode of Entrepreneurship Lab, my guest is Doug Howarth, an entrepreneur, and renowned economist who has unveiled a groundbreaking theory called "Hypernomics." This theory isn't just for economists; it's for anyone who wants to unlock new possibilities in wealth building. In a nutshell, Hypernomics challenges the traditional "Law of Supply and Demand" by suggesting that the relationship between price and demand isn't what we've always assumed. What if higher prices didn't necessarily lead to decreased demand? What if customers were willing to pay more for products they perceived as having greater value? It's a fresh perspective on market forces that transcends economic theory. Listen to the episode to learn his interesting concept and how you can apply it to your business. Enjoy the episode and implement the tips to make your business more successful! Don't forget to subscribe, download and share this episode!

On this episode of the podcast, I am talking with Dan Lockney. I'm excited about this episode because Dan and I talk about a fantastic program from NASA for technology companies. Dan is the Technology Transfer Program Executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.  He is responsible for managing NASA's intellectual property and the transfer of NASA technology to promote the commercialization and public availability of NASA's patented inventions. Dan and I discuss how NASA's Technology Transfer Program operates and the types of companies that can license the technology.  Here's a small spoiler:  any size of company can license the technology – from startups to large corporations.  And, you will be surprised at the cost of the license! Dan shares information about the motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program.  He also discusses some of his favorite inventions that have been successfully commercialized. NASA has a publication called “Spinoff” that highlights many types of transferred technologies that benefit life on Earth in the form of commercial products.  NASA recently published a new edition of the Spinoff publication.  It has dozens of stories describing businesses that have successfully launched products based on technology licensed from NASA.  There's a link to the Spinoff publication below. Why is this program exciting to me?  As you may know, as a Patent Strategist I work with tech companies every day regarding patents and inventions.  This Technology Transfer Program is a great opportunity to license patented NASA technology to launch a business or a new product line. I encourage you to listen to this episode and see if the Technology Transfer Program is a good option for your business. “The Spinoff publication was created to let everyone know about the Technology Transfer Program and show the results of NASA's research and development activities.” – Daniel Lockney Today on the Tech Leader Talk podcast: - How does the NASA Technology Transfer Program work - Program success stories - The motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program - Types of technologies contained in the patented inventions - How a team of NASA engineers designed a new low-cost ventilator in response to the Covid outbreak Resources: Spinoff publication:  https://spinoff.nasa.gov/ NASA Technology Transfer Program:  https://technology.nasa.gov/ NASA Spinoff temperature-regulating mugs:  https://burnoutmugs.com/ Book:  Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford - https://www.amazon.com/Shop-Class-Soulcraft-Inquiry-Value/dp/0143117467 Connect with Daniel Lockney: LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lockney-bb5316a8/ Website:  https://technology.nasa.gov/network Thanks for listening!

Did you know that NASA has patented inventions ready for you to license and commercialize? On this episode of the podcast, I am talking with Dan Lockney. I'm excited about this episode because Dan and I talk about a fantastic program from NASA for technology companies. Dan is the Technology Transfer Program Executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.  He is responsible for managing NASA's intellectual property and the transfer of NASA technology to promote the commercialization and public availability of NASA's patented inventions. Dan and I discuss how NASA's Technology Transfer Program operates and the types of companies that can license the technology.  Here's a small spoiler:  any size of company can license the technology – from startups to large corporations.  And, you will be surprised at the cost of the license! Dan shares information about the motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program.  He also discusses some of his favorite inventions that have been successfully commercialized. NASA has a publication called “Spinoff” that highlights many types of transferred technologies that benefit life on Earth in the form of commercial products.  NASA recently published a new edition of the Spinoff publication.  It has dozens of stories describing businesses that have successfully launched products based on technology licensed from NASA.  There's a link to the Spinoff publication below. Why is this program exciting to me?  As you may know, as a Patent Strategist I work with tech companies every day regarding patents and inventions.  This Technology Transfer Program is a great opportunity to license patented NASA technology to launch a business or a new product line. I encourage you to listen to this episode and see if the Technology Transfer Program is a good option for your business. “Most of the technology in the Technology Transfer Program is outside of the aerospace area. Example technologies include medical devices, public transportation, consumer goods, and safety equipment.” – Daniel Lockney Today on the Tech Leader Talk podcast: - How does the NASA Technology Transfer Program work - Program success stories - The motivation behind the Technology Transfer Program - Types of technologies contained in the patented inventions - How a team of NASA engineers designed a new low-cost ventilator in response to the Covid outbreak Resources: Spinoff publication:  https://spinoff.nasa.gov/ NASA Technology Transfer Program:  https://technology.nasa.gov/ NASA Spinoff temperature-regulating mugs:  https://burnoutmugs.com/ Book:  Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford - https://www.amazon.com/Shop-Class-Soulcraft-Inquiry-Value/dp/0143117467 Connect with Daniel Lockney: LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lockney-bb5316a8/ Website:  https://technology.nasa.gov/network Thanks for listening!

"Our mission is to redistribute excess food to people experiencing food insecurity— and make food rescue the universal standard rather than the exception." —Robert Lee   Food insecurity and hunger is a tragic reality. Despite the overwhelming abundance of food, millions of people around the world are still hungry and do not have regular access to enough nutritious food to support a healthy lifestyle. Hunger does not only affect individuals, but also has socio-economic impacts on communities and countries, affecting economic development, education, health, and even security. To address this global problem, we must prioritize creating equitable access to quality food.    Robert Lee experienced first-hand what it was like to live with food insecurity as an underserved child. This prompted him to create Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in 2013, a nonprofit organization that seeks to prevent the waste of food and end hunger. In the following years, RLC's work has helped in drastically reducing how much food is wasted each year and improving food security for thousands of people.   Listen in as Justine and Robert talk about the mission of RLC, how food rescue can solve world hunger, our role in making food rescue a universal standard, the importance of getting educated in entrepreneurship, the importance of processes and boundaries in business building, the best way to start in business, and the next steps for RLC. Meet Robert: As someone who experienced food insecurity as a child, Robert Lee was very familiar with the wasted food and hunger issues facing our society. That is what led him to launch Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC), a nonprofit organization that targets both the prevention of wasted food and putting an end to hunger, in New York City in the summer of 2013. He left his full time job at J.P. Morgan in 2014 to run RLC full-time, using seed money he and co-founder Louisa Chen won at a venture competition during their senior year at NYU, as well as corporate donations from his former employer. In the eight years since, RLC has expanded to 8 regions and rescued over 7 million pounds of excess food.   Website Facebook TikTok Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 01:14 Food Rescue— Making It a Universal Standard 05:27 How Much Excess Food is Thrown Away? 08:25 How to Grow Your Company 11:04 The Importance of Learning 14:06 What's Next with RLC?  17:40 What We Can Do to Help

Today we welcome Whitney Johnson, CEO and co-founder of the tech-enabled talent development company Disruption Advisors.

She is also the bestselling author of Disrupt Yourself and Build an A Team. Her latest book is called Smart Growth: How to Grow Your People to Grow Your Company.In this episode, I talk to Whitney Johnson about business growth. According to Whitney, the development of the individual comes first before the company's. Growth can be better understood using the S Curve of Learning which has three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. By comprehending the cycle of growth, we can find ways to move forward when we feel stuck in both our professional and personal lives. We also touch on the topics of flow, creativity, transcendence, success, and leadership.Website: www.whitneyjohnson.comTwitter: @johnsonwhitney Topics01:35 Disruption Advisors07:55 The S Curve of Learning11:13 Optimize your team for growth14:23 Mastery and transcendence16:18 Peak experience and peak performance21:26 The S Curve as a retention tool25:00 Excavating your shadow values28:13 Grow your people to grow your company33:53 Create the conditions for growth37:19 The S Curve is a dopamine management exercise40:20 When to quit and change careers 42:51 Changing the metrics of success47:16 Disrupt yourself a little bit everyday

Whitney Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Disruption Advisors, a talent development company. Whitney is a globally-recognized thought leader. author, keynote speaker, executive coach, consultant, and a popular LinkedIn Learning instructor. In this conversation, Whitney discusses how musicality has lessons for the business world, and the wide applications of the S-Curve. https://bit.ly/TLP-328   Key Takeaways [2:35] At her daughter's prompting during the pandemic, Whitney and her family started watching Korean dramas. The family became obsessed with them. Whitney now studies Korean for two minutes a day on Duolingo. Whitney describes the characteristics of Korean dramas. [5:22] Whitney majored in music, studying classical piano and jazz. Because of her musical background, when she structures a keynote, a book, or a podcast, she looks for musicality and a musical structure to it. Musical structure and musicality inform the work she does. Also, as an experienced accompanist, she knows how to be second, allowing her to be a good interviewer, and as a coach, to listen well. [7:04] Brett Mitchell, the former conductor of the Colorado Symphony, said that music is what happens between the notes. Whitney discusses pauses relating to leadership and cites Clayton Christiansen, saying that partway through his career, Clayton Christiansen started a practice of praying before teaching a class. Once he started that practice, he started to have a significant impact on his students. [8:42] Whitney suggests that before you speak, have a meeting, or a coaching session, you pause and think about the person you're about to speak to, and how to convey to the person that they matter to you, that is an element of leadership. [10:33] Wayne Muller, author of Sabbath, pointed out the pauses in Martin Luther King's exclamation, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” [11:41] Gino Wickman, in The EOS Life, recommends entrepreneurs take sabbaticals. One of Jim's clients just took a sabbatical and reported that stepping back and taking a break allowed them to reflect and then grow. [12:20] Whitney has a LinkedIn Learning class, Grow Yourself, Grow Your Leaders, and a book, Smart Growth. Whitney's view is that we are wired to grow. Virtuous growth is growing in such a way that everyone around you grows as well. She believes that human growth is unbounded. [13:23] Sociologist Everett Rogers applied the S-Curve to the study of how quickly innovation is adopted. Working with Clayton Christiansen, Whitney realized she could apply the S-Curve to individual change and growth. Growth comes in three stages: slow (launch), fast (sweet spot), and slow (master place). Every time you start a new role or a new job, you go through the curve. This is covered in Smart Growth. [14:45] Whitney's LinkedIn course focuses on how to create the conditions where people around you can grow, with the resources they need, and how they can feel connected to what they're doing and the people they're working with. Whitney also talks about building resilience and nurturing people. If you can do all those things, you're creating conditions wherein the people around you can grow. [16:59] Whitney makes the underlying assumption that if you will grow yourself then, by the contagion effect, the people around you will grow. Then, by default, your business will grow. [17:49] You can manage your organization as a portfolio of curves. The people at the curve's launch point will need the most support. They will also have a fresh perspective, opening the door to innovation. You want about 20% of the people in your organization to be new, 60% to be in the sweet spot, and 20% in master, ready for a new challenge. This is a good distribution for innovation. [20:10] De-prioritize the things you do really well that somebody else could do. Whitney gives an example from a client. If you stop doing the things you should delegate to others, you will have time to do the things only you can do, and you get out of the way for them to work on the steep part of the S-Curve. [23:06] Every organization needs to have, as part of their vision, growing human beings and helping them reach their potential. The vision starts with the founders, and as people join the organization, they begin to co-create the vision with the founders. Everyone helps each other grow. In the most fluid, powerful organizations, everyone contributes to the creation of the vision. [26:56] Whitney addresses growth pre-pandemic, in-pandemic, and post-pandemic. A lot of adaptation and resilience have been required. When people are under stress, they go to default stress behaviors. You need to make sure people work together and not against each other. People want to grow but are not always sure how to do it. This goes back to Whitney's course, Grow Yourself, Grow Your Leaders. [28:39] Whitney asks Jan and Jim for their thoughts on getting people to work together under stress. Jim states that when people are stressed they need time and space to solve their problems. People are pausing to figure out how to work together. People need time and space to get up to game speed. Executives are not paid to be busy. Pausing is a good way to grow by asking yourself tough questions. [31:35] Whitney has an assessment that she administers to clients. It includes seven accelerants of growth. The one that ranks the lowest is frequently “Step back to grow.” People are not taking time to pause and reflect. Whitney quotes Tiffany Shlain who asks, “What if we thought of ‘rest' as technology because the promise of technology is to make you more productive?” [34:17] Egon Zehnder surveyed 1,000 executives whether they strongly agreed that to transform your organization you need to transform yourself. Before the pandemic, 18% of executives agreed. After the pandemic, 805 of the executives agreed. The only way you have the moral authority to ask people to change is if you, yourself, are changing. The fundamental unit of change is the individual at every level. [37:52] Whitney lists some people that inspire her, and why: Rashika Tolshan, who wrote about the Queen of England passing away, Brené Brown, Musician Jacob Collier, author Richie Norton, and NFL QB Steve Young. Each of them inspired Whitney with their visions of growth. [41:35] When Whitney was making her list of influential people, her default was to go to all men. She had to make sure she included some women. She had to be very mindful and deliberate to determine who is actually influencing her and she wanted a diversity of perspectives. Jim highlights the leadership lesson of intentionality. [42:49] Whitney's audience homework: On the topic of pausing and resting, listen to these two episodes of Whitney's Step Back to Grow podcast: Episode 139 with filmmaker Tiffany Schlain and Episode 180. Don't avoid taking a pause to rest. [43:57] Closing quote: Remember, “It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.” — Queen Elizabeth II   Quotable Quotes “Because of being a musician, I think of things in a musical sort of way. When I'm structuring a keynote; … a book; … a podcast, there's always a sense of, ‘Is there a musicality to it; is there a musical structure to it?'” — Whitney “I wrote a piece about the importance of taking a break, that you needed to rest because the ability to rest was going to allow you to recharge so that you could then move forward.” — Whitney “For me, growth is our default setting. We're wired to grow.” — Whitney “Every time we start something new, we're on a new S-Curve. There are three stages. There's the launch point that feels slow, there's the sweet spot, … where growth is fast, … and … the master place, where growth is … slow.” — Whitney “People who are successful are intentional. It doesn't just fall in your lap. … Successful people are intentional people and [a high] level intentionality is something to be admired and something for people listening to this podcast to take away.” — Jim   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

As we face the challenges of the future, our leaders must be ready and willing to have tough conversations. Excusing rude or inappropriate behavior doesn't help anyone in the long run. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Here are reasons why leaders make excuses for their staff. Consider if you have a tendency to do any of these yourself. The employee is someone they have a personal history with. It can be challenging to create new dynamics when two people have an established relationship and ways of communicating.   They are conflict avoidant. Confronting issues is an important part of a leader's job, but also a necessary step in learning and development Reframe challenging conversations as “leadership conversations.”.       They worry that someone will quit if they point out their inappropriate behaviors. This may be true and this may create an opportunity to level up the team with a higher-performing team member To succeed in business, it's critical to ensure that your people are doing the best they can do. they may need resources and support that you can provide. If you avoid discussing their challenges, they may never reach their potential. ---------------------------------------------- What are the most difficult conversations you've had as a leader and what have you learned about yourself in the process?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on leadership conversations! ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

The most successful business owners are always planning for the next stage of their business. If you're a business owner or a leader, consider what your organization could look like in the next 5, 10, or even 20 years. To visualize this, I recommend creating your future organizational chart. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Organize, plan, and build your future. Here's how to create your future org chart. Take out a blank piece of paper. When you think big, the sky's the limit. So go ahead and write a description of what your organization might look like in the future.   Place yourself at the top of the org chart.   Create boxes for the leaders who will report to you and imagine who might report to each of them. Fill in job titles or short descriptions and don't be concerned with the names of people at this stage. In fact, locking into your mind specific people to fill each of these slots can be limiting.   Use this future org chart to keep yourself on track as you plan and execute your vision.

Whitney Johnson: Smart Growth Whitney Johnson is CEO of the tech-enabled talent development company Disruption Advisors, an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private company in America. As one of the top ten business thinkers in the world as named by Thinkers50, Whitney is an expert at smart growth leadership. She has worked at FORTUNE 100 companies, and as an award-winning equity analyst on Wall Street. Whitney co-founded the Disruptive Innovation Fund with the late Clayton Christensen. She has coached alongside Marshall Goldsmith, selected by him in 2017 as a Top 15 Coach out of a pool of more than 17,000 candidates. She is the author of Disrupt Yourself and the host of the podcast of the same name. She is also the author of Smart Growth: How to Grow Your People to Grow Your Company*. In this conversation, Whitney and I explore a big reality of growth; it's often slow at the start. We discuss three practical steps that leaders can take for both themselves and others to stay engaging during the early stages of growth. Key Points Auditing some of your roles, secrets, beliefs, values, and boundaries will help you move forward along the growth path. Listen to the stories that others tell and help them link past experiences with what's important today. Images are a critical entry point to growth. Utilize them in addition to the new behavior itself to begin to frame your thinking and identity. Circle back after receiving feedback and show others what you've learned from it and how it's changed your behavior. That motivates them to stay invested.
