Most of you have heard of MacGyver … Not only was it an internationally successful television show, but it's also become a full-on verb for many (especially us Gen Xers) “Hold on, let me go MacGyver that!” In this episode, Alan and Heather got to chat with Lee Zlotoff brainchild behind the world-renowned MacGyver franchise. Lee is an award-winning writer, producer, and director of film and television. In addition to creating the original MacGyver TV series, he also wrote and directed the indie hit film The Spitfire Grill which won the coveted Audience Award at the Sundance film festival and has also become a successful musical with over 700 productions. More recently, he is the author of the best-selling book The MacGyver Secret: Connect to your Inner MacGyver and Solve Anything as well as MacGyver: Meltdown, the first installment of a new MacGyver fiction series. Lee is also the Executive Director of The MacGyver Foundation which is funded by a portion of the proceeds from all the MacGyver projects. Now entering into the wonderful work of musical theater, he has executive produced the world premier concept album for MacGyver the music and the Musical is on its way to Broadway!

Start with NOTHING! You might be surprised by what you'll find. Lee's education taught him that great ideas come from conversation and collaboration It's about the magic that comes from everyone putting in their best effort We seek to feel good - look for it inside of you first, then it will show up in the world. If you dare take the risk to find what you're seeking inside of you - the opportunities appear. Lee created something powerful by “taking away the gun” for the superhero. MacGyver CORE VALUES: avoid conflict, resourcefulness, and maintain a sense of humor and humility. Breaking out of a block: Write the problem down, then go do something else and forget about it for a bit, then go back and ask “what do you have for me?” I don't worry about where the answers are going to come from - I surrender and trust.

I'm resurfacing this interview from 2016 because recently (2021) the team at MacGyver HQ has been sharing this interview on their social media, so I thought it would be a great time to share it with those new to Vested Capital. It was quite a thrill to see the actual MacGyver twitter account tweet out this podcast, especially as I was a kid who grew up watching the show on TV in Australia. Here's how it all came to happen... ****** When I received an email offering a chance to interview Lee Zlotoff, the creator of MacGyver for the my podcast, my initial reaction was mixed. I was excited to speak to someone who created such an iconic show, yet I wasn't sure if he would be a good fit for a podcast about online entrepreneurship. As I investigated what Lee was up to currently, it became clear that although he was not an online entrepreneur, what he is teaching is so relevant for anyone building a business or trying to solve their financial problems. The MacGyver Secret Just as ‘Mac' the lead character on MacGyver was able to solve problems using ingenious combinations of elements to get out of tricky situations, Lee explains that we all have access to the same ability to solve problems, if we can distract our conscious mind. In this podcast interview we go back in time to the point where Lee was an upcoming screenwriter, writing for one of his first television shows. There were only three writers and as a result he was under a lot of pressure to produce entire episodes with short deadlines. As you will hear Lee explain, he realized that his best ideas often came up during periods where his conscious mind was distracted, like while in the shower. He took this principle and formalized it, turning into a lifelong practice he tapped into whenever he needed to be creative (for example, when writing scripts) and to solve problems. Towards the end of the interviews Lee breaks down the three steps he currently teaches to help anyone tap into their own ‘inner MacGyver'. You can also learn the steps at his website, MacGyverSecret.com . The MacGyver Origin Story I couldn't interview the creator of MacGyver without learning how the show was created. In particular, I was curious what the process was to come up with all the unique situations and solutions that the show featured every episode. You can listen in to the first half of the episode to hear how Lee first got his start as a screenwriter, how he wrote the pilot episode and also what's coming up for MacGyver currently. Enjoy the interview, and make sure to test out the three steps to tap your own inner MacGyver next time you face a challenging situation.

In this special episode of H51 we go FULL ON INTERVIEW! We have an upcoming episode on AI and wanted to interview someone. Who better than a writer/producer with over 30 years in the industry who just did a series on AI? Oh, and did we mention he created a little show called MACGYVER?!?! That’s right, this week we talk to Lee Zlotoff – the creator of Macgyver. Lee tells us about his new series on AI, Our Own Devices. He gives us his thoughts on where AI is headed. Then we spend an inordinate amount of time asking him about Macgyver because we’re geeks like that. So, instead of including the interview in the more comprehensive AI episode, we decided to release this in its entirety. Now grab a paperclip, some fishing wire, and an avocado and join us for a fun precursor to our AI episode on the podcast that doesn’t ALWAYS do good interviews, but when we do we have no idea what to do with them - Hysteria 51.Find Our Own Devices athttps://santafenetwork.tv/ood/

Remember MacGyver, the ingenious action-adventure hero from the 80’s who was able to do things like disarm bombs with a toothpick, swiss army knife and duct tape? MacGyver was a huge influence on me as a kid and his creator, Lee Zlotoff, joins me today to discuss the genesis of MacGyver, as well as the MacGyver secret—a simple process that can help you solve your toughest problems, because who wouldn’t want an inner MacGyver solving problems for them. Ready? Let’s do this! Key Takeaways: [1:00] Charlie introduces Mr. Zlotoff and his impressive television and film career as well as his philanthropic endeavours. [2:54] MacGyver was imagined in opposition to a lot of his contemporaries — what if our guy had no gun, no gadgets, nothing! [6:45] Mr. Zlotoff goes over his ongoing mission to bring MacGyver back through a television series and film but also in the form of The MacGyver Secret. [8:50] The method covers management tools taken from MacGyver: avoid conflict, turn what you have into what you need and do it all with humour and humility. [10:48] The issues coming up during this century are unlike any other concerns that humankind has faced before, the need for ingenuity is great. [12:20] If MacGyver were recreated today, Lee would first make him a woman, then he would integrate her to the new technological context and finally, add a sense of global consciousness. [14:46] The MacGyver Secret came about when Lee realised his best creative insight came out during specific routine activities, and he set out recreating the mental condition for this subconscious or “inner MacGyver” to appear. [18:04] Everybody has an inner MacGyver and the method teaches you the three steps required to access that part of you in a reliable manner. [19:44] Step one, write your question or problem down in longhand and pass it on to your inner MacGyver -- read it to yourself. [20:29] Step two is to go on with your day! Let your inner MacGyver incubate the problem. [22:01] Finally, after a few hours, start writing anything at all, and within 30 to 45 seconds the answers will flow from the tip of your pen. [23:18] Activities that prevent the incubation process: watching television, reading, conversation (in any form—email, text, etc.), and playing high action video games. [26:16] We are completely overloaded by information in this day and age and most of it will inhibit the incubation: you need a slightly physical, unimaginative task. [29:04] The trickiest part is trusting that you do have an inner MacGyver and that it can give you answers! [31:15] This method will work differently for personal emotional problems — mostly because you will need to ask more than once and the answers will take a little longer to come. [33:50] This part of your mind will never shut down, it is a constant and is processing your daily experiences. Opening dialogue with that part of you will vastly enrich your creative and problem solving toolset. [37:26] Lee Zlotoff’s closing challenge: start with the understanding that you have enormous resources at your disposal, you simply need to learn to open a dialogue with yourself.
