Subscribe to my newsletter https://newsletter.prodcircle.com/profileIn this episode I had the previlige of sitting down with a great mind of our century. Greg Larkin, founder of Punks & Pinstripes, shares his fascinating career journey from Wall Street finance executive to startup founder and community builder for midlife entrepreneurs.In this wide-ranging discussion, Greg recounts his experience innovating within big corporations like Bloomberg, predicting the 2008 financial crisis while analyzing anomalous mortgage data, and eventually leaving finance to build his own startups.He explores the difficulties founders face when the startup image promoted by media doesn't match the gritty reality of successful entrepreneurship. Greg explains that while the media loves portraying young startup founders as glamorous, data shows the most successful founders are over 40, but they lack community support.Greg provides hard-won insights on:Why working at a corporation can provide invaluable entrepreneur training despite the challenges of innovating within bureaucratic environmentsHow to innovate within big companies without getting “fired” – Greg shares his framework for anticipating and navigating corporate obstructionistsWhy community is absolutely critical for founder wellbeing and success, but is sorely lacking for older foundersHow he predicted the 2008 financial crisis by digging into mortgage data showing a growing debt-to-income ratio trendWhy founders over 40 are statistically the most successful, yet are ignored by startup media images and lack tailored community supportGreg also shares the three most important lessons he wished he had known earlier as a founder:1. Your success depends on what you say no to – rigorously focus only on the one or two things that matter2. Feel good about yourself even if your big goals aren't met yet – don't tie your self-worth to external outcomes3. Don't try to do this alone - find your tribe and community that understands your entrepreneurial strugglesIf you're a founder over 40, tune in to gain Greg's hard-won wisdom on how to thrive and build something meaningful, rather than get caught up in pursuing glamorous media myths of entrepreneurship. This candid discussion provides an inside look at the realities of corporate innovation and startup struggles no one talks about.

He recently reached out to me to get coaching advice about how to choose speaking topics and ideas for creating great presentations and slide decks. I asked him if he'd be willing to allow me to record our conversation to share on this podcast. He graciously agreed.  The most frequently asked question that I get is, “How do I become a speaker?” While I've written blog posts on the subject, been interviewed on other peoples’ podcasts and shared about the beginnings of my own journey as a professional speaker in this podcast, there's always more to learn. Everyone is at a different place in their speaking career. And no matter where you are in your career, questions are bound to come up. Such was the case for Bruce.  My hope is that by listening to our coaching session, you will garner some takeaways of your own.  We explore ideas like developing speaking topics to share on a stage in front of an audience, or simply communicating your ideas at work and in life.  Show Highlights: Some strategies and recommendations to decide on topics for speaking Think about what you know, and what you already have to say, and then tailor your presentations to your audience My process for creating a speaking presentation + 3 different types of presentations you can utilize Some "go to" resources for presentation images and tips for making your slides ‘shine’ The importance of identifying who your people are,who is the audience that needs to hear your message, what the audience needs, and how you can fulfill that need Advantages of being a published author    Resources:King University Jennifer’s Speaking Schedule Jennifer's Free Speaking Guide: 10 Tips to Build Your Brand and Land Gigs as a Speaker Unsplash Adobe Stock Images Flickr The 9 Faces of HR: A Disruptor's Guide to Mastering Innovation and Driving Real Change by Kris Dunn Kary Oberbrunner's Igniting Souls Conference Mike Kim's Influence & Impact Conference ERE Recruiting Conferences SHRM Annual Conference  Emerald City Productions   Learn More About Bruce: Bruce Waller Find Your Lane: Change your GPS, Change your Career by Bruce W Waller MILEMARKERS: A 5 Year Journey by Bruce W Waller Find Your Lane: Change Your GPS & Drive With Purpose! | Bruce Waller | DisruptHR Talks   Connect with Jennifer:  Send her a message On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/JenniferMcClureSpeaker On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactmakerspodcast/ On LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermcclure On Twitter: https://twitter.com/JenniferMcClure
