Podcasts about innovators

The opening question of Season 2 Episode 4 of Mindset Monday asks listeners and viewers to reflect on where they are right now. Not physically, but are you actually present in what you are doing right now? This episode shares a realization that George Couros had while he was working out and watching the miniseries, The Last Dance. Couros reflects on how he would, in the past, be looking for what was next - when he was a teacher, he was looking for ways to get into admin, when he was in admin, he was looking for ways to get into central office…Couros reflects on these times and considers how this actually took him away from the present. Quotes (PIP): “Most people struggle to be present…Most people live in fear because they project the past. Michael's a mystic. He was never anywhere else. His gift was not that he could jump high, run fast, shoot a basketball; his gift was that he was completely present and that was the separator… A big downfall of a lot of players who are otherwise gifted is thinking about failure. Michael didn't allow what he couldn't control to get inside his head. He would say, ‘Why would I think about missing a shot I haven't even taken yet?' " -The Last Dance, Episode 10: Mark Vancil, author of Rare Air "In a world full of distractions, the ability to be in the moment, doing what you are doing, is really beneficial." - George Couros What could happen if you are present in what you are doing? How could this be different if you are not present? "You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, Or you can come to terms and realize... You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, makes much more sense to live in the present tense." -Pearl Jam, Present Tense Links: The Last Dance on Netflix - https://www.netflix.com/title/80203144 Pearl Jam - Present Tense - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5YvYKN9BIc Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

Do you have an idea you can't stop thinking about? Maybe it's been days, weeks, or even years but no matter how many times you move on, it keeps popping in your head. My guest today, Gina Schreck, thought about her unique collaboration workspace idea for ten years before she was able to take action. But when the time was right, she went for it. In this episode, Gina shares with us how her curious mindset helped her leap into an entirely new business. She also opens up about the fear of making a big decision and what she did to minimize her risk and increase her confidence. She also gives us some insights into where to apply innovation to create a stellar customer experience (hint- it's everywhere). She now successfully runs two collaboration workspaces with a third on the way.  Gina's Everyday Innovator style: Inquisitive Imaginative Connect with Gina on LinkedIn Check out our sponsor Howdy Puppy Use promo code 'Tamara' for 20% off Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Magazine Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book Connect with Tamara on LinkedIn or join the innovator Facebook group to listen in live and have the opportunity to connect.   

Martí Guixé (*1964) ist ein spanischer Designer, der in Barcelona und Berlin lebt. Studium der Innenarchitektur an der Elisava in Barcelona und des Industriedesign an der Scuola Politecnica di Design di Milano. 2001 etablierte er den Begriff "Ex-Design", um sich gegen die begrenzten Möglichkeiten des traditionellen Designers zu positionieren. Er lehnt Design als stilisiertes Objekt und Form ab. Anstatt bestehende Produkte umzugestalten, will er unsere Art und Weise des Sehens und Denkens verändern. Sein Ansatz spiegelt sich in der häufigen Verwendung von Wegwerf- oder Billigmaterialien und dem flüchtigen Charakter vieler seiner Arbeiten. Seine Sensibilität für schnell verfügbare, auf den Massenkonsum ausgerichtete Materialien, hat ihn zu einem wichtigen Innovator im Food-Design gemacht. Er verstand das Food-Design als Möglichkeit, Strukturen rund um Lebensmittel, die Industrie und den Verbraucher neu zu bewerten und zu gestalten. Er arbeitete im kommerziellen Bereich für Marken wie Camper, Alessi, Danese, Dentsu, Desigual, Drill, Droog Design, Magis, Nani Marquina, Vitra und andere. Auf er anderen Seite weckten seine Arbeiten raschweckten das Interesse der Kunstwelt. Seine Entwürfe, Installationen und Performances wurden in zahlreichen internationalen Gruppen-Asusstellungen und Einzelprojekten gezeigt, darunter im MOMA, Centre Georges Pompidou, Design Museum London, Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, National Art Center Tokyo und Museum für angewandte Kunst.

Navigating change can be really challenging. Often it's the tension created when working with others that stops us from moving forward. In an effort to avoid conflict, it seems easier to just give in or meet in the middle. But, as Everyday Innovator Chris Chopyak explains, that tension can actually be an advantage if you lean into it. Chris also talks about predictability, not as an opposite to change, but as a tool to help people embrace change.  Chris also shares wisdom around what you can (and can't)control versus what you can influence, and how she manages her energy so she continues to innovate and do good work. Chris is the founder of Arlosoul, a visual strategy and innovation firm and Elite IQE Certified Coach. She has spent years moving her business and her clients forward through change and uncertainty.  Chris's Everyday Innovator style: Instinctual Risk Taker Connect with Chris on LinkedIn Check out Arlosoul Check out our sponsor Howdy Puppy Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Magazine Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book

Hear how Blue Ocean Strategy helps you own your market! In this podcast, Brian Gladden and I go digging into the whys and hows of creating Blue Ocean Strategies®. Brian is a trained Blue Ocean Strategist who helps businesses find unmet customer needs and create uncontested market space by using the tools and methods of Blue Ocean thinking. After conducting 500 workshops and dozens of client engagements, I know the thinking of a Blue Ocean Strategist quite well, and Brian is certainly one of us. He just loves the methodology and objectives behind BOS, as do I. It really works! To learn how to do it, listen in.  Watch and listen to our conversation here It's all about going where the competition isn't When we talk about strategy, most people think that they must compete to build a viable business. Strategic differentiation seems to be the path they must follow. Yet, few really know how to successfully compete, differentiate themselves, or bring in new clients. They tend to be imitative, looking like others in their market segment and doing things in much the same way. This is not the path to true and lasting growth. Entrepreneurs in particular must avoid this, becoming simply another version of what is already out there.  Conversely, those who thrive can see the problems that need to be solved and new solutions to solve them. They understand that they need a new strategy that opens new markets and finds better ways to create and capture demand.  If you have become tired of competing, Blue Ocean Strategy might fit you perfectly. Today, supply outstrips demand. It is going to be difficult to out-compete the competition. So how can you recreate new ways to solve old problems, and add value innovatively? You guessed it: Blue Ocean Strategy. That's exactly what Brian does, and what we talk about in our podcast: how he helps business leaders create new markets, get to markets faster, and focus their attention on what their customers need, not just on what their business does. In other words, how to swim in a Blue Ocean! Get to know Brian Gladden Brian has spent 30 years in hi-tech sales, strategy and business development in international firms. He has a doctorate in strategy and innovation and is the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Sacramento State University Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. You can connect with Brian on LinkedIn, Facebook, his website Strategy & Innovation Institute (www.si2blue.com) or his email bkgladden@si2bue.com.

George Couros shares this message in the intro: “There are things that we can learn from others, but at the end of the day, we have to take that learning and make it our own because, at the end of the day, we know our community better than anyone.” In this conversation with Stephanie Smith and George Couros, the two talk about how learning is personal and unique to each individual. The two take the time to discuss how we have to remember to understand the experiences of all learners. Smith reflects on how, at times, she will struggle as a teacher in the classroom with the same ideas she tried to implement as an administrator.

“What you will gain is so much more than what you will give up.” - Dr. Dean Ornish Dean Ornish, M.D. is highly regarded as “The Father of Lifestyle Medicine,” which is the fastest-growing trend in medicine today, and today's discussion with Rip dives deep into the vast body of work and groundbreaking research that Dr. Ornish has conducted for decades. As the founder and president of the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute (PMRI) for over 40-years, he and his team of researchers have demonstrated time and again how lifestyle medicine can reverse, treat, and prevent chronic disease.  How is this possible? Eat Well, Love More, Stress Less, and Move More – all of which are outlined in Dr. Ornish's latest book, “UnDo It - How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases,” which has just been released in paperback.  From the beginning, Dr. Ornish was met with criticism and skepticism, which would cause even the strongest of physicians to reverse course. But, because of his conviction and the overwhelming data he has produced, the only thing reversing is YOUR chronic disease including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, early-stage prostate cancer, and now – the evidence is showing - even the progression of Alzheimer's. Medicare and many insurance companies are now covering Dr. Ornish's lifestyle medicine program for reversing chronic diseases because it consistently achieves bigger changes in lifestyle, better clinical outcomes, larger cost savings, and greater adherence than have ever been reported—based on 40 years of clinical research published in the leading peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals. Recently, Medicare even agreed to cover Dr. Ornish's program for reversing heart disease when offered virtually via Zoom. Our bodies often have a remarkable capacity to begin healing if we treat the underlying lifestyle factors that cause them—and more quickly than we had once believed. All of this is great news because, as Dr. Ornish stresses, "We don't want take hope away. In fact, we want to give people a sense of hope." He's been giving us hope for over 40 years and, thankfully, he's just getting started.  About Dr. Dean Ornish Dean Ornish, M.D., is the founder and president of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute, clinical professor of medicine at the UCSF, and the author of seven books, all national bestsellers. He received the Outstanding Young Alumnus Award from the University of Texas, Austin, and the National Public Health Hero Award from the University of California, Berkeley. He was recognized as a “TIME 100 Innovator;” by Life magazine as “one of the 50 most influential members of his generation;” by People magazine as “one of the most interesting people of the year;” and by Forbes magazine as “one of the world's 7 most powerful teachers.” Episode and PLANTSTRONG Resources: Watch the Episode on YouTube Ornish.com Resources Preventive Medicine Research Institute Join us for our 2022 PLANTSTRONG Retreat in Black Mountain, NC - March 1st-6th - Healthcare Providers can earn up to 20 hours of CME credits and 2 CEU credits as part of the registration fee!

It's the beginning of the year and as you are considering what goals to set or reset, the Mattsons thought it would be the perfect time to discuss the skill of TIME BUDGETING. In Part 2 of this conversation, Jeff and Terra explore the impact of one's Core Value Index on the way they view and steward time. If you are not familiar with the Core Values Index, the Mattsons use this time tested assessment in their twenty years of practice, helping parents, couples families and organizational teams grow in their understanding of self and others. The CVI is over 97% reliable and helps us understand what motivates and brings anxiety. Listen in as Jeff and Terra make some key connections between how we best manage our time as a Merchants, Builders, Innovators or Bankers and how one might lead or parent others who are different from them when it comes to their CVI.   Jeff Mattson (MA ORGL) and Terra Mattson (MA LPC, LMFT) are the married co-founders of Living Wholehearted LLC and the Courageous Girls movement and the weekly hosts of the Living Wholehearted Podcasts. Jeff is an Organizational Leadership Coach and Terra is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is now solely working with executives. With a team of 11, Living Wholehearted helps leaders in a variety of settings, from corporate offices to leadership retreats and individual counseling. Jeff and Terra have each invested more than two decades in leadership coaching and trauma-informed therapy – and have helped national organizations and churches navigate difficult leadership crises. Their professional experience and research have formed their unique perspective on the relationship between leadership, integrity and trauma. They are parents to two teen daughters, speakers, authors, executive coaches, and business owners who get what it's like to juggle many aspects of one's lives.   With the help of Terra's book, Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace, and their co-authored book, Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live (October 2020, David C Cook), the Living Wholehearted Podcast is reaching a growing number of leaders in the home, at work, and in the community. The Mattsons are also spokespeople for Christian Parenting, which reaches 1 million parents and produces the Dear Mattsons youtube series. One of the Mattsons primary goals is to share Biblical, clinical and relational wisdom to help leaders live and lead with integrity, addressing the real struggles that keep people up at night. Jeff and Terra believe that when a leader shrinks the integrity gap between what they preach and how they actually live, everyone in their wake benefits. And when they don't, everyone in their wake pays. It's just a matter of time.

"Push yourself hard every day, but not so hard that you won't go back the next day." This reminder from George Couros perfectly summarizes the theme of this episode - starting slow and ending strong!

This episode also includes reminders to ease into our week and build relationships so that we can end the week stronger than how we began.

Do you ever feel like you struggle to achieve your goals or get frustrated because you can't seem to stick to a plan? I think today's conversation with Everyday Innovator Sergio Nazzaro is going to shed some light on this. He's a real estate agent in Denver, Colorado who has done a phenomenal job elevating his own life, differentiating himself in a very noisy marketplace, and delivering real value in a commoditized industry. He shares how the moment he got "sick of his own sh**" and stopped negotiating with himself was the moment he changed his life. He shares his insights around who you should be competing with to get better (hint - it's not other people), how you should be in the benchmark, not the comparison game, and his expectations around failure. Also, listen for his views on turning your life circumstances into your greatest superpowers. As a real estate agent, MBA and veteran, Sergio Nazarro shows us how your principles and commitments to yourself are what matter if you want to leap forward.  Sergio's Everyday Innovator style: Inquisitive Instinctual   Connect with Sergio on LinkedIn Check out our sponsor, Howdy Puppy Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Magazine Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book Connect with Tamara on LinkedIn or join the innovator Facebook group to listen in live and have the opportunity to connect.

“Fast as we can, as slow as we must.” -Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney The impact that we have serving kids - we want to do everything possible - we also need to be thoughtful about how we bring new opportunities.

It's easy to get complacent, even about the things that frustrate us the most. We simply accept them as part of life. But, as today's guest Everyday Innovator Jacob Weinstein shows us, there's no room for complacency. In fact, the "there's got to be a better way" moments are the foundation for innovation and opportunity. Jacob figured out how to solve some of the biggest frustrations and challenges that face both practitioners and patients in healthcare. In this episode, Jacob shares his journey from frustration to opportunity, how solving problems that we assume can't be solved or simply accept as part of life is the key to success, and how he views innovation as figuring out the bridge between your idea and your client or key-stakeholders needs. As you'll hear, in his eyes there's a powerful bridge between the two that hold the key to moving forward. Jacob also talks a lot about the need for real listening and empathy in daily business.  Jacob's Everyday Innovator style: Inquisitive Risk Taker Connect with Jacob on LinkedIn Check out MedicalEdNow Check out Mobile Care   Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Magazine Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book Connect with Tamara on LinkedIn or join the innovator Facebook group to listen in live and have the opportunity to connect.

Michael Bhaskar is a writer, researcher and co-founder of Canelo Digital Publishing, and he joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how he believes risk aversion has led us to move away from dynamic discoveries, and why he says it's time to dream big again. His book is called “Human Frontiers: The Future of Big Ideas in an Age of Small Thinking.”

If business is a game, how do you play to win? As a leader, it's natural to put pressure on yourself to avoid losing at all costs. The stakes are high. Your business is your livelihood.

They don't quit after one single loss: they're resilient to setbacks and comfortable testing new strategies. In the latest episode of The Enlightened Executive podcast, expert Sophie McLean, shares how leaders can become innovators and risk-takers in their businesses (and, in turn, live a more fulfilling life).

Moving into 2022, there's one thing we know for certain - things will remain in flux and uncertain. But, I feel more optimistic about 2022 than ever. I don't think it's because COVID is suddenly going to disappear or that all the issues that have arisen in the past two years will magically disappear. I don't even believe the dust will settle. However, I do believe two things. First I believe that I'm more set up to navigate and harness change and uncertainty than ever before. It took a lot of experimentation and twists and turns, but I'm there. I also believe in the power of all of you - Everyday Innovators out there igniting innovation and inspiring others. With that, we have a big change coming to the podcast in 2022. From here on out we'll be interviewing Everyday Innovators, not experts all week. No blah blah platitudes.

Did you know only 10% of distractions come from your external world? The dings, the pings, the beeps, the pop-up messages...only 10%. As Nir Eyal and I talk about, the real distractions come from what he calls internal triggers, or uncomfortable emotions we are trying to avoid. That's why we are busy, but not productive. It's why we avoid the heavy lifts and focus our efforts on the easy and comfortable tasks. And as Nir explains, time management is actually pain management. We also talk about the real opposite of distraction, which isn't focus, it's traction. This interview with author, researcher, and entrepreneur, Nir Eyal will help you move away from distraction and move towards traction. It will help you stop doing the things that move you away from your goals or who you want to be and towards the things that move you towards your goals and the life you want.  Nir's Book: Indistractable Nir Eyal on LinkedIn Nir's Website, Nir and Far Passion Planner Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Toolkit Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book Connect with Tamara on LinkedIn or join the innovator Facebook group to listen in live and have the opportunity to connect.     

This will really resonate with you if you feel like you are fighting legacy thinkers, bureaucracy, or even leaders unwilling or slow to change. Want to know what it's like to push the boundaries of an industry? To do what others are afraid to do? And to see the payoff of a willingness to change and innovate? Me too! That's why I had Brian Benstock of Paragon Honda on the podcast. He's in the auto sales field, which hasn't changed in longer than I can remember. But his business has and customers are flocking to him, and competitors are trying to catch up. This is a great lesson in what's possible, even in legacy industries.   Brian shares how shared control forces change, why constantly asking questions that challenge assumptions are the key to progress, and how frictionless experiences are the key to success.  Brian's Everyday Innovator Style: Inquisitive Tweaker Paragon Honda Brian Benstock on LinkedIn   Discover your Everyday Innovator Style Everyday Innovators Digital Toolkit Everyday Innovators Online Facebook Group Innovation is Everybody's Business Book Connect with Tamara on LinkedIn or join the innovator Facebook group to listen in live and have the opportunity to connect.
