Podcast appearances and mentions of jane boyd

The question of microphone adaptors - that's the topic that begins this episode. One expert and one novice. "I am the lowest tech person" says Paul O'Mahony. Business Jazz podcast is not the best place for you to get digital connection advice. Coffee making is another matter. Roger Overall hasn't noticed that there is a top-class coffee machine in Paul kitchen. Adobe software would frighten you because it's so complex - but Adobe have installed an explainer video that pops up to show you what to do. Coffee machine makers could learn from Adobe. It's best to drink coffee while listening to this episode. Roger gets down to brass tacks - he starts chat about how to help your customers. Shipping slips, pizza deliveries, maritime matters, China to Southampton, stuck in Suez canal, Canada, 'the amazing Jane Boyd", overnight driving, Halifax, Vancouver - all get a mention in about 3 minutes. What does "I ship that" mean to you? "I just want to socialise this" means what to you? Roger disapproves of modern corporate speak - "that's not how humans speak" asserts our grammarian. "I'll help you drive traffic to your website" - is the sentence that Paul detests - and considers it wrong to treat people as cows. Listen on for more of the conversation about attracting people ...

Welcome to this podcast episode from Blacksmiths Capital Research, a Midwest-based capital markets and investment analysis platform, by De'Airius "De" Salibi and Mohamed "Mo" Traore. Thanks to Shane Bracko for the outro song for this episode of Blacksmiths Capital Research! For Today's episode, hosted by Mohamed : Maurice Davis is the Owner & Chief Marketing Officer of Marketing Growth Strategy, and a former financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. No stranger to “wearing multiple hats”, he holds several positions within the Cedar Rapids area, such as Empower Program Manager for Jane Boyd, Treasurer for the African American Museum of Iowa, and a Board Member for the Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival. I met Maurice through the TechStars Iowa Startup Weekend Competition this past April. We were on the same startup team - I highly enjoyed the experience, and we've been sure to stay in touch ever since. I've learned a lot from Maurice, and I think that our listeners can, too. I believe that there is a major connection between marketing strategy and financial results. If a publicly traded company sucks at marketing and has a [sub-]standard product offering, I worry about their future financial performance. Listen in to this episode to learn more about marketing strategy and expenditures, its effects on financial performance (as we see it), and how to use some of these ideas in your investment analysis toolkit. * Seeking Alpha - Investment News & Newsletters Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe to this podcast for more!

Paul and Roger are sickly this week. They still managed to record this podcast via Skype. Roger talks about the spaghetti legs he had during 2018. There's a snippet of Monty Python-esque conversation. The style of this episode reminds Roger of Business Jazz episodes he recorded in 2013 with Jane Boyd (who lives near Vancouver, Canada). "What has impressed you this week, Paul? Have you had any business experiences?" Paul talks about a ski resort in France, a bubble lift, and how a few people transformed the experience for his daughter. You hear the story of how Paul’s daughter got skis & boots fitted, how they were helped into the bubble & welcomed at the top of the lift. Everything was at stake. How one person transformed everything. Roger tell a story about the time he went to buy a cover for his water main. He found himself in a system he couldn’t understand. He’d be reluctant to return to that shop. He felt alien & out of place. The theme of this episode is probably: How to transform a customer’s experience. Roger talks about the Nando’s Experience. Someone comes up to you and asks "Have you been here before?" (This episode is not sponsored by Nando’s) Paul is concerned about Training New Staff—induction or on-boarding: is the transformative aspect considered? Roger tells the story of a Bad fish & chip shop—it treated him despicably. The business forgot about the value of all the purchases the customer is likely to make in the future. Paul is attracted by the line "It all hangs on you." "Everyone else depends on you." There's a bit of chat about what it was like to climb into the bubble, and out of the bubble. - Queue, uncertainty - Will my skis fit? - Good humour - We were in the care of experienced people It was a good experience - Not just for newcomers. - Getting out of the bubble nice reassuring smile It's amazing how much hangs in the balance Big thanks to Mark Cotton (http://audiowrangler.co.uk) One of the finest human beings on the planet.

This is a rebroadcast of an episode from the second season of BusinessJazz. It first went live on 16th February 2013. The original show notes (beware of outdated information): How easy do you make it for people to buy from you? Do people even know that they can buy from you? And do they know what they can buy from you? In this week's episode, Roger and Jane Boyd look at idea's Chris Brogan has about "touchpoints of opportunity" – places where the customer can interact with you or your business. He uses the metaphor of the sidewalk, the storefront and the back room. Roger and Jane end up talking about the Soup Nazi and AJ Leon.

This is a rebroadcast of an episode from the second season of BusinessJazz. It first went live on 10th February 2013. The original show notes (beware of outdated information): Have you heard of this really powerful sales tool? Don't sell. At least, don't sell until the buyer is ready – until you have earned the right to sell. Getting to that point takes time. Too often, we jump straight in. Particularly when we are trying to sell ourselves. Instead of getting permission to talk about ourselves, we just do it. There are better ways. In this week's episode, Roger is joined by Jane Boyd again to talk about ways in which to introduce yourself to prospective clients in a way that won't bring down the shutters on you. They try to answer questions raised by Chris Brogan in a recent email newsletter, and give suggestions about how to introduce yourself gently to new people.

This is a rebroadcast of an episode from the second season of BusinessJazz. It first went live on 2nd February 2013. The original show notes (beware of outdated information): Being neighbourly isn't a concept taught at many business schools – or at least, we don't think so. But if your intention is to generate business through your online activities, it is a very important one. Helping others is a great way to build your community. It establishes and deepens relationships. And once the relationship is in place, business will follow – often in very surprising ways. Paul is unavailable for the next couple of weeks, so in this episode Roger is joined by Jane Boyd to discuss an email by Chris Brogan in which he looks at how to be neighbourly online.

This is a rebroadcast of the second pilot of Business Jazz. You could say, it is the first recognisable episode of Business Jazz. It first went live on 5th October 2012. The original show notes (beware of outdated information): Welcome to episode two of the BusinessJazz podcast, or as Paul would say: the second pilot. We’re making progress. This week we have an intro. We also have a producer. Our producer is Mark Cotton, and he is so much more than that. He is a sound engineer, sounding board, musician, “stunt guitarist” (we haven’t asked), composer, wrangler, adviser and all-round solid human being. We don’t know where or how to start thanking Mark, whom serendipity placed in our path. Please check him out on his About.me page. On twitter he’s @mcfontaine. We also have to say a big thank you to Sarah Langston, Mark’s partner, who has stepped in to record an intro while our voice artist recovers from an ill-fated encounter with some food. (Get well Jane). Sarah recorded our current voiceover with grace and elegance at short notice. You can find her on Twitter under the handle @misspheric. Sarah and Mark bring the band of people associated with the production of this podcast to five, not counting ourselves. The others are Chris Brogan (our inspiration), Jane Boyd (our cheerleader, our rock), and James Macolgan (the man who thought of the podcast in the first place). We hope to add to this troupe. Of course, there is a second group without whom we couldn’t do this. You. Thank you for letting us into your lives. By the way, if you want your own copy of the emails written by Chris that we discuss in this podcast, please go to his website and sign up. He’s also at Human Business Works. We’re working on some artwork for the podcast. Once we have it, we’ll push the programme to iTunes and the Blackberry and Zune libraries. You’ll be able to find us easier that way. If you’d like to get in touch, we’d welcome feedback. You can reach us via Marketing Write Now (Paul) and The Digital Storyteller (Roger). Thank you for listening.

A raw, unscripted, free-wheeling, wide-ranging and eclectic chat about "How to be genuinely attractive in business today". For people in business. "Business" means you've a job, own a commercial enterprise, profit & not-for-profit - you work at anything (including housework). ___________________ Weekly podcast by Roger Overall & Paul O'Mahony from Show&Tell Communications (HQ in Cork Ireland, trading in Ireland & UK) - available here, in iTunes and other places. This episode begins with MISTAKES. - The key point is to recover well. Story No 1 is about Jack Nicholas (golfer) as told by Bob Rotella (golf coach) in one of his books. - FORGET YOUR MISTAKES - after learning from them seems to be the message. Paul: "I do not know what direction this podcast will go". Roger: "Is that because of your experience?" Story No 2: Heart Surgeon in USA at 93 years of age. "How old will I be when I stop working for money?" says Roger These guys work today : Ridley Scott (born 1937, English film director & producer. Warren Buffet (born 1930, American business magnate, investor, & philanthropist, serves as chairman & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway - Wiki) Stan Lee (born 1922, American comic-book writer, editor, film executive producer, and publisher - Wiki)) Walt Disney Inc Floyd Norman ((born June 22, 1935) is an American animator, writer, and comic book artist - Wiki) "People who retain experienced people make the business attractive" says Roger. The Internet Age: Have the rules about how to do business changed? And if so, how much have they changed? How recently did a business have to think about cashflow? Example of Egyptian Pyramids. Story No 3: Jane Boyd's father (in Canada) drove miles to build relationships. "Automated relationships" Story No 4: Instagram Adverts. The "Free" Economy. Communications spoiled. Frequency makes the experience unattractive -say Roger. Interrupting. Annoying. How can we make our ads desired? How can we make our ads relevant? Story No 5: Amazon interruptions. Get me Ad-blocker ... Story No 6: Waiter's job is to interrupt - Lourdes Story

Note: This episode was live streamed via Periscope. You hear Roger Overall somewhere in British Columbia, Canada - talking with Paul O'Mahony in his kitchen in Cork Ireland. There's a short conversation about Canada First Nation people Then a few words about Jane Boyd. Jane Boyd, a previous host ("leading lady") on Business Jazz, has lost her voice. Somehow Paul & Roger started discussing gender ... Gender balance is what Paul favours. He got fed up of panels of man. The Chinese Communist Party leadership is all men. "Is a business more attractive to you if ... ? "Who are the customers of the business? If you serve a mixed gender popular... Able to put out messages from both segments of your 'target audience'.. "There can be some awful women - as well as some awful men... Paul says "I hate stereotyping ... The women I've met pay more attention to detail Gay men pay more attention to detail... Boards of companies to be more representative ... Roger - you could say I don't care ... I'd have to be some sort of rank idiot ... You could be a hard-nosed business person I want my daughter to self-actualise... "Do you thank ? "The problem is we agree with each other ... boring old liberals ... I'm going to adopt a position to draw you out: Policy level ... asserting their own points of view Women have been so excluded their ability to stand up for their point of view is weak ... Men get to shout women down ... it's a waste of time to put women on the Board..." Our daughters are well able to express their points of view... All other things being equal I'd go for a dim women ... there would be a variety a dim people. all sorts of different personalities Belbin on team roles (1980s) ... not one particular types of Several types of intelligence Q1 Why do I feel so strongly that diversity of gender is an advantage? Where's my evidence... 50/50 companies out perform Iceland: Gabrella ... photography project feminisation of the banking culture ... we need more of female approach ... combat these male dominated institutions ... Paul testosterone is the problem ... Men in suits got excited ... bankrupted the country You might as well hand it over to women they couldn't do any worse Your problem ... men have more balls for ... we don't have evidence of women in decision-making positions I was only talking about Boardrooms Women are the dominant force... CEOs suffered from types of paranoia We agree women are capable of making decisions haven't had access to power & authority women are capable of 'exercising the upper hand' To be genuinely you don't want to be accused of mysogeny systematic could be seen as a form of mysogeny. Dismissing ... A point of view - I don't recognise gender I only recognise talent Paul has programmed himself to see gender balance & skin colour Some say they're blind to gender ... How do they mean that? Roger was the only man among 40 people ... in a house... Paul there's a fundamental problem in education - vast majority of e ch ed I would favour quotas ... absence of male role models results in negative consequences. Gender quotas - Paul is in favour of quotas for parliament ... This is different to any previous episode ... BusinessJazz.net for Paul & Roger. If you found this useful ... Paul the male "You've been listening to two men debating the gender issue."

Recorded in a car travelling in Vancouver Canada - Roger Overall with Jane Boyd. This is "Not a commercial for Vancouver." Brand Canada is discussed. Brand Canada - Roger's perceptions of Canada before he arrived. Edmonton connection. Canadian Mounties, honorable, on a horse, integrity. Return to the Ultramarathoner Gary Robbins story - reinforced the idea of being Canadian. Don't forget the "natural beauty & wide open spaces" of Canada. Jane & Roger discuss Roger's perceptions of Canada - now that he's spend time in Canada: Looking forward to coming back. Extraordinary "Welcome home" said Bob, Jane's husband - this welcome seemed to be an expression of Brand Canada. The marathon story: Roger ran a race, came in last - even so, everyone waited for him to finish. Very kind, supportive people. Well tended, maintained city - a clean place. Vancouver appeals to many people - does not disappoint. Roger does his best to highlight things that are different from what he expected. Many similarities with USA. Big trucks. Peculiar blend of New England, original England, Holland & Texas. Differences in pronunciation of words. Didn't expect such a melange. Jane highlights: Asian population, off-shore investment, indigenous culture, very diverse country. Not all melting into one culture. Brand Canada falls down: everyone is aware of what happened to native Indians in USA People think First Nation peoples have been treated well in Canada Residential schools, children taken from their families, to "give them culture". [Jane was born on Vancouver Island] - she's ashamed of how indigenous peoples were treated. Amazing country, universal health care, different from USA and rest of world - but "we have a long way to go". Truth & reconciliation Commission in Canada. Jane's brand identifier is Generosity - an element of that must come from being Canadian. "We apologise a lot." Quick to own up - go forth to make it right - make amends Making mistakes in business: can you be more confident that your mistake will be accepted - or do you feel nervous about coming clean? Personal & business ethics - "sometimes it's hard to own up but it's the right thing to do." Makes the customer feel better. In Canada "we care about people. We take care of the vulnerable. We have poverty & homelessness. But we believe in taking care." Largest credit union in Canada is nearby - socially responsible businesses. Story: What a glove-making company did for Jane's dad. And he didn't retire until he was 78. "A lot of companies are doing right for their people." Halloween - a US thing. - "trick or treat" A poppy - worn for Remembrance Day You can find Jane Boyd at www.45Conversations.com Roger Overall at www.businessjazz.net & www.showandtellcommunications.net Roger says he'll be back in Vancouver in February 2018. -

Paul O'Mahony & Roger Overall [P&R] - podcasting from Cork, Ireland talk about how to be genuinely attractive in business today. Recorded in @RepublicofWork. The podcast recording was live streamed on Periscope. This week P&R discuss: (1) A serious approach to branding. What is your brand? It's what others expect from your business. "This is what you are in the mind of others..." P&R emphasise the importance & value of doing research to find out what your business is in the minds of others - research may surprise you. (2) What if a business can't afford to do research about its brand? (3) Roger tells a story about his plans to travel from Cork to Vancouver - via Aer Lingus & Air Canada. Paul is shocked by Air Canada. Roger emailed both Aer Lingus & Air Canada to find out about his luggage. He expected a poor, slow response from Aer Lingus. He expected a top class response from Air Canada. Brand Canada is strong, much stronger than Brand Aer Lingus - in Roger's expectations. The shocking thing is that Air Canada sent an email : "We will respond to you within 30 working days." You hear Paul cracking-up. Paul says it's like someone calling a fire brigade and getting a reply - "thanks for your call, we'll be with you within 30 working days." P&R decide : "Let's send this podcast to CEO of Air Canada". Paul says next time he books to fly Air Canada he expects a reply "we expect to be able to collect you within 30 days of your booking date." Horrific story - almost unbelieveable. (In case you're wondering, Aer Lingus sent a reply that left Roger in some doubt - but at least it was an honest answer that sounded as if they couldn't provide an absolute guarantee that nothing would go wrong.) _________________________ Part Two: Paul & Roger (P&R) chat about (1) An understanding of what a brand is. Many miss the point that "I don't have control over my brand. (2) A book: "Markets are conversations" is the No 1 thesis in "The ClueTrain Manifesto" (1999). ______________________ P&R summarise key points from their conversation: - You need to have a huge interest in the expectations people already have. - Strong Brands discourage some people from being interested in their products & services (saves people from wasting their time). An Undertaker doesn't want to be confused with Pizza parlour. - It's good to "Be Ignorant" about what other people think Don't base your understanding & decisions on (1) an unrepresentative sample - (2) what you fear people are saying Your company values: Remember : You can control the extent to which you behave in line with your values. Your values can't be changed without changing the Board, the hiring policy, the people. You may gradually need to ditch some of your clients - in order to move to working with your "ideal clients". Many companies have "values" - value statements. But statements are not what matter most - behaviour is what people base their expectations on. Paul tells story about a company he once worked for whose No 1 value was Fun ___________________ P&R summarise the Key Points from this week's episode. (Bitcoins get a brief mention) EIR brand is an elephant or a tanker - slow to change. It's in a market that's high tech - fast - nimble. P&R say there's a "phenomenal mismatch" between Eir's brand and the market in which they aim to succeed. "If your No 1 value is X - why do you do Y? "If that's your No 1 value - why are you doing that? The ClueTrain Manifesto : "Markets are conversations" is highly recommended Paul & Roger would like you to contact them via BusinessJazz.net Important Note: Big thanks to Jane Boyd in Vancouver for contacting us about our "About Us" Page: she pointed out that it's out of date.

Jon Wilkening left a successful career in finance to become a fine art photographer. His whole life, he felt like he was different and couldn't shake a sense of not quite belonging. It's hardly surprising when you think he's an American whose childhood was spent in the Netherlands and India. He was 12 by the time he settled permanently in the US. Jon speaks about his fascinating upbringing and about how he came to make a risky, yet fulfilling leap from finance to photography. You'll also hear about the influence AJ Leon and the force of nature that is Misfit Inc had on his life. A special mention goes to Jane Boyd, a mutual friend who brought Jon and I together for the show.
