Podcast appearances and mentions of jason shen

“A pivot really is a second chance,” says Jason Shen, author of “Path to Pivot.” In this episode, Alex Raymond talks with Jason about the critical decision-making process of whether to continue, pivot, or close a business. Shen emphasizes leveraging assets and insights to create a market advantage, highlighting the rarity and value of a well-executed pivot.   Jason recounts his shift from writing about resilience to focusing on pivots, inspired by his experiences with his Y Combinator-backed companies, Ridejoy and Headlight. While Ridejoy's pivot failed, Headlight's pivot led to a successful exit to Facebook, forming the foundation of his book.   The episode delves into the mental and emotional facets of pivoting, introducing Jason's “Align, Explore, Commit” framework for systematic pivoting. Jason and Alex also discuss “shooting the zombie,” the tough call to pivot or close a business that can't meet venture capital expectations.    Insightful anecdotes and practical advice make this episode a valuable guide for entrepreneurs facing pivotal decisions with resilience and strategic thinking.

And that's where a pivot comes into play. A pivot is to say ‘What if we change the fundamentals of this business?' Keeping some parts the same, maybe the team is the same, maybe the product is the same, maybe the market is the same, but you make some other dramatic shift. You go from selling it one time to a lower monthly fee. A business model change is still a pretty meaningful change.” (14:43 | Jason Shen)  “A good pivot is always based on some kind of new insight. It involves learning something from the world that you've already been operating in that certainly gives you a leg up, an advantage, and that's what you have. You're able to shift your product, but position it for a new problem, position it for a new market, but sort of retain a lot of the experiences that you'd built, which is super important.” (22:12 | Jason Shen)  “You have to have insights based on what you've developed as a business and assets that you've developed that can create some kind of advantage for you so that you can actually win in this market and sort of earn the right to keep playing this game. And the reality is, it takes time to build anything. It takes time to even make an attempt at anything. And so, a pivot really is a second chance.” (32:55 | Jason Shen)    Links Connect with Jason Shen: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonshen/ Website: https://www.jasonshen.com/ The Path to Pivot: https://jasonshen.gumroad.com/l/path-to-pivot   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://consciousentrepreneur.us/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Navigating pivots is a necessary skill set in all areas of life— especially in our careers, whether you're an employee or an entrepreneur. In the case of Jason Shen, who pivoted from Silicon Valley entrepreneur to Facebook employee to executive coach, resilience becomes the name of the game. In fact, in his first startup, Jason says of his team: "We didn't run out of money— we ran out of resilience." As he continued to see how critical resilience was for navigating both personal and professional pivots, he became passionate about understanding it deeply. The more he thought, learned, and researched about resilience, Jason started to understand it not just as one skill or trait, but as a set of skills that can be cultivated.

Are you the kind of person who fears failure? How do we acquire the determination to take risks to succeed?   When you take risks, you discover that success and failure have equal significance. There will be moments when you succeed and times when you fail. Sometimes our anxieties might become so overwhelming that they impede our actions and agitate our confidence to succeed. We often get paralyzed by our thoughts, in the fear of failure, the apprehension of being imperfect, and the dread of having to try again and then fail the second time.   However, we must remain steadfast in the pursuit of the goal we aim to achieve; while remembering that high-risk actions nurture great rewards. Even if there is a high potential to encounter hardship due to these opportunities, our generation must consider seizing every chance we have to flourish. Indeed, we may fail, but we must remember that nothing wrong lasts forever. Even when we fall, there are good reasons to get back up. We can always apply learnings from our past mistakes to our judgments now and in the future. As our guest speaker believes, "giving up old dreams in favor of new ones didn't mean I was a failure. Life is full of surprises, but we can always find a way through."   Jason Shen is a gymnast, writer, speaker, product leader, serial entrepreneur, and resilience expert. He is an entrepreneur with a strong marketing background who founded three disruptive companies: Ridejoy, Headlight, and Midgame. Jason helps people navigate disruptive change so they can bring new things into the world with greater clarity, vitality, and purpose. He believes life is better when we dare to play by our rules. Today, his mission is to bring the power of resilience to the world.   In this special episode with Jason Shen, we'll learn about the journey of a first-generation Chinese immigrant who passionately paved his career in business and athletics. He will share his struggles and accomplishments with us, which made him resilient and brave enough to take any possible risk of taking a step toward his goals.    "There's something bigger inside you than what you might have experienced so far. Without taking that leap, you can't find out what big things are inside you. And taking that leap sometimes means falling on your face." – Jason Shen   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:00:14) Introducing our special guest, Jason Shen (00:00:33) Advertisement: Zero Gravity Skin: a leader in the aesthetic device market.

I wanted to show my parents that they had done a good job, and it likes to set me up." – Jason Shen   "I wish I was at that point where I can already tell my parents not to worry and go on vacation that your son's got this. And so, it is painful not to be able to say that." – Jason Shen   "I think that my ADHD drives me to want to do something new and be in control of my destiny. I don't feel like I could have a 25-year career in one place the way my dad did." – Jason Shen   "All venture-back companies that make crazy amounts of money and the people who invested in those companies early on made a ton." – Jason Shen   "The goal is just to balance out and beat the stock market and be another source of capital returns." – Jason Shen   "It's challenging for someone who is a first-generation immigrant to think as big as you kind of need to because you have to be okay with total failure." – Jason Shen   "Thinking big is so hard because if you don't have that safety net, you always kind of hold back a little bit, and that's tough." – Jason Shen   "When you're facing a moment of adversity, you have to remember that this will pass. Nothing bad lasts forever, Nothing good lasts forever." – Jason Shen   "Given where you are now, better and worse ways to respond to setbacks. There are ways you can take something from this that will help you in the future." – Jason Shen   "Even when you miss your leap, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. You can try again." – Jason Shen   "The fall looks scarier than it is 99% of the time. What we are afraid of is often our source of greatest growth." – Jason Shen   "Every time you can practice stepping, taking a step towards your fear instead of taking a step away from it, that's how you live a life that is rich and meaningful." – Jason Shen   "I'm learning not to be perfect but to take imperfect action.

Today's episode is a fun one! I talk to Jason Shen (a former NCAA gymnast, 3x venture-backed startup founder, and product leader at companies like Facebook, Etsy, and the Smithsonian) about cultivating resilience and playing by your own rules. Jason says, "resilience is all about how we successfully adapt in the face of change. And, how you can make that change work for you and your situation." He reminds us to trust our instincts and creatively explore whatever comes next. He also shares some daily practices to help build resilience. You've gotta hear him talk about those... so good! Other topics covered include: - How reflecting on the past helps you learn and grow faster - Why it's important to be emotionally in-tune (and how we can hold more than one emotion at a time) - The link between rest and resilience - Normalizing the sales process, while appreciating the vulnerability and intimacy inherent there - What true strength looks like (and why it's not always what you think) As well as, so much more! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. And, that these insights from Jason help you build and strengthen your resilience. ----- For more about Jason, check out his newsletter on Cultivating Resilience (jasonshen.substack.com).

Daxue consulting' YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyI6-PBWcHpugJrF67y4eRQ Industry expert Jason Shen from Mobile Now Group, talks about what solution is suitable for your brand based on the data needs of your company, how WeChat mini-programs have almost no data restrictions for brands while other platforms do, and how some native apps are currently outperforming WeChat mini-programs in certain areas. Takeaways: - WeChat mini-program data on users are very accessible to the brand’s owners. However, the massive volume of data is too big to analyze for smaller brands. For brands whose revenue is in the tens of millions per year, an off—the – shelf solution would be fine. The ROI on accessing all the data and crunching it only becomes worth it when companies are doing hundreds of millions in sales each year. - Some functionalities of WeChat mini-programs lag behind native apps in terms of virtual try-on software for fashion brands. However, it is likely that these features will become available soon. - Jason categorizes the data into four general groups which are useful to bands.

What features do they use most? 07:41 Other than WeChat, many other apps, like Baidu, Alibaba, and ByteDance, have launched their own versions of Mini-Programs, are any of these worth investing in for brands? If so, which brands are fit for which platform’s mini-programs? Takeaways: - WeChat mini-programs offer a lot of the functionality of a normal app but are much lighter and run faster. - WeChat mini-programs should be used by brands that have already been established themselves in the market. - WeChat mini-program users are mostly between the ages of 20 and 50. - There are also mini-programs available on other social platforms but WeChat mini-program are the most effective because users spend so much time on the app. The next most promising platform for mini-programs is TikTok.

Burnout has been an increasingly important conversation. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away and there are no simple solutions for identifying, managing and curing burnout. As leaders it is also our job to assist our team when they are struggling with burnout, in addition to paying attention to our own feelings and mental state. Earlier this week I shared an article from Jason Shen that provided some interesting ways to work through burnout. There’s one of the topics I want to cover a little deeper, because I think it’s really important. I highly encourage you to read his post, which includes reconnecting with others, re-framing your goals, finding ways to contribute, plus the topic I want to cover today: Hobbies. This is part of my Get better Friday, all about being a better leader. Each piece is about me describing what I’ve been practicing to help me become a better leader and coach for my team, my career and my personal life.

Very few of us hold jobs that line up directly with our past experiences or what we studied in college. Take TED Resident Jason Shen; he studied biology but later became a product manager at a tech company. In this quick, insightful talk about human potential, Shen shares some new thinking on how job seekers can make themselves more attractive -- and why employers should look for ability over credentials.

In the early stages of a new career, many people get stuck in a cycle of needing to gain experience, but not yet having enough experience to get the jobs or projects that will give them that experience. You can’t get the job because you don’t have the experience. But you can’t gain the experience if you don’t get the job. To counter this, talent expert Jason Shen encourages you to highlight your ability, not your experience. He argues that hiring systems that only value experience miss out on a wealth of fresh, untapped talent. He suggests expanding your search beyond the conventional channels; look for work in unlikely places. Increasingly, young and progressive companies are hiring based on portfolios rather than resumes. Because they know that experience does not always guarantee talent — but passion and solid work samples do.

Product managers are one of the toughest roles to define and hire for, in part because depending on the company and the project, they perform a wide variety of activities. It can be helpful to think of the role as five characters — the Explorer, the Analyst, the Planner, the Advocate, and the Sherpa. Join #productized18 and learn about the latest trends.

Muy pocos tenemos empleos alineados perfectamente con nuestras experiencias anteriores o lo que estudiamos en la universidad. Un ejemplo de ello es el residente de TED Jason Shen; estudió biología, pero ahora es un administrador de programa en una compañía de tecnología. En esta charla rápida pero profunda sobre el potencial humano, comparte algunas ideas nuevas sobre cómo buscar trabajadores haciendo énfasis en la capacidad por encima de las credenciales puede llevarnos a contratar empleados geniales.

Poucos de nós têm empregos que se alinham diretamente com nossas experiências passadas ou com o que estudamos na universidade. O TED Resident Jason Shen estudou biologia, mas depois se tornou gerente de produto em uma empresta de tecnologia. Nesta rápida e perspicaz palestra sobre o potencial humano, Shen compartilha algumas novas ideias de como buscadores de emprego podem parecer mais atrativos; e por quê empregadores devem olhar a habilidade acima das credenciais.

عدد قليل جدا منا يحتفظ بالوظائف التي تطابق تجاربنا السابقة أو ما درسناه في الكلية. لنأخذ المتحدث Jason Shen؛ درس علم الأحياء لكنه أصبح فيما بعد مدير منتج في شركة تكنولوجيا. في هذا الحديث السريع عن الإمكانات البشرية، يشارك شن بعض الأفكارالجديدة عن كيف يمكن للباحثين عن عمل أن يجعلوا أنفسهم أكثر جاذبية - ولماذا يجب على أصحاب العمل البحث عن القدرات لا على الشهادات.

과거의 경력이나 대학에서의 전공과 직접 관련된 일을 하는 사람들은 극히 소수입니다. 한 예로, 생물학을 전공한 후, 현재 첨단 기술 회사의 제품 관리자로 일하는 TED 레지던트 제이슨 쉔(Jason Shen)의 이야기를 들어봅니다. 인간의 잠재력에 대한 이 간결하고 예리한 강연을 통해, 취준생들은 어떻게 자신을 돋보이게 하고, 고용주들은 왜 개인의 경력보다 능력을 중시해야 하는지 알아봅시다.

Très peu d'entre nous ont un emploi en lien direct avec nos expériences passées ou ce que nous avons étudié à l'université. Prenez le résident TED Jason Shen : il a étudié la biologie mais est ensuite devenu chef de produit dans une entreprise de technologie. Dans cette présentation rapide et instructive sur le potentiel humain, Shen partage une idée nouvelle quant à comment les gens à recherche d'un emploi peuvent se rendre plus attractifs et pourquoi les employeurs devraient chercher la capacité plutôt que les qualifications.

Nur wenige von uns arbeiten in Berufen, die direkt zu unseren bisherigen Erfahrungen oder unserer Ausbildung passen. Wie zum Beispiel TED Gast Jason Shen: Er studierte Biologie, ist nun aber Produktmanager in einem Technikunternehmen. In diesem kurzen, beeindruckenden Talk über das Potential des Menschen verrät er, wie Arbeitssuchende ihre Attraktivität für Arbeitgeber erhöhen können und warum diese bei der Suche nach guten Mitarbeitern auf Fähigkeiten statt Zeugnisse achten sollten.

If you’ve ever applied for a job in tech, you know just how painful it can be. Technical tests consume hours of your time, brain teasers leave you baffled, and culture fit questions juice your stress levels. On top of all this, you’re likely still trying to hold down your current position. Jason Shen, CEO and Co-Founder of Headlight, has spent months asking around to see how companies are hiring today. His results are telling, and they’ve given him an idea of how we should be hiring instead.

Jason Shen joins us this week to discuss the Asian American Man Study, an annual survey of the experiences and perspectives of American men of East, Southeast, and South Asian descent. Jason breaks down the 2016 results, discussing demographics, race and identity, stereotypes, media, dating, politics, and religion. We also chat about his views on masculinity as an Asian American man. On Hella Asian, Jason brings up an hot button issue: shoe-free households.
