It's been 35 years since the launch of New Coke and we're still talking about it. What has been labeled one of the greatest product failures in corporate history, has actually been grossly mislabeled. It's actually the greatest story of a corporate pivot that I've ever heard. Within 12 days of launch, the company shifted gears and within 77 days they were able to introduce coke classic and create a significant boost to sales. The sales boost was so high that some people at the time even speculated that the new coke failure was done on purpose to draw attention to coke classic. This is an incredible story that rewards not taking long established tales at face value and getting curious about what really happened. 6 things to know about today's guest Sergio Zyman:He was named one of the Top Three marketing pitchmen of the 20th century by Time magazine.He created New Coke, as well as diet coke, cherry coke, and coke classic.He was influential in the positioning and development of the strategy that resulted in the election of former Mexican President Vicente Fox.He left coke in 1988 as a result of new leadership, and was persuaded to come back in 1993 to hold the first Chief Marketing Officer position ever created in any company. Sergio re-conceptualized the company's marketing strategy and boosted worldwide annual sales from nine to 15 billion cases--the most explosive growth in the company's history. He is the author of 4 books including the international bestseller, The End of Marketing As We Know It.Sergio and I discuss:How the story of New Coke is actually an incredible success story and the tale of the best corporate pivot of all time Why innovation is a lazy move for most companies How companies develop blindspots, And we debate whether marketing is a penalty you pay for having a product that doesn't solve a problem.

GroupRaise is an online platform that helps groups raise money for the causes they care about by eating at restaurants. I previously interviewed two of the other founders of GroupRaise, Devin Baptiste and Sean Park, in Episode 5 and Episode 31 of Crossing Borders, so please check out those podcasts if you are interested in learning more about GroupRaise. In this episode, I sat down with Kevin Valdez, one of the co-founders of GroupRaise to learn more about how he moved to the US from Guatemala in middle school, helped build the family business, and eventually joined Devin and Sean to found GroupRaise. From the Guatemalan countryside to Houston, Texas When Kevin Valdez was twelve years old, his family moved from a rural small town in Guatemala to a small town outside of Houston, Texas. At the time, Kevin spoke no English and his family of five shared a single room in his aunt’s house. However, Kevin is proud to come from a “family of entrepreneurs,” and it did not take long for his mom and aunt to begin building an international business to sustain their family by delivering packages to Guatemala. Working in the family business taught Kevin to be extremely customer-focused, as he watched his parents take phone calls at all hours to help Guatemalan families in the US. Creating opportunities for other Latin American students Kevin frequently looks back at his childhood in Guatemala and considers his classmates who did not move to the US and receive the same opportunities as he did. While at university, Kevin attended a talk by former Mexican President Vicente Fox who reminded him that for every Latin American student who made it to the US, there were ten more who would love to be in their shoes. Kevin is inspired to work hard to help give other students in Latin America the opportunity he received and to uncover the untapped potential in the region. Getting GroupRaise to 10,000 restaurants and beyond in 2018 GroupRaise is already connected to 9000 restaurants in the US, and employs a team that spans Chile, the US, and the Philippines. Having worked at the family business since he was fifteen, with an outsize role since his parents didn’t speak English, Kevin is used to managing many projects at once. However, he struggled to drop the do-it-yourself mentality when it came to growing the business and had to learn to efficiently manage a team so he could focus on strategy. As GroupRaise reaches the 10,000 restaurant mark, Kevin is dreaming big; he thinks GroupRaise will be active in 25,000 restaurants in the next few years. Kevin’s unique perspective as a Guatemalan immigrant and child of entrepreneurs helped him gain the confidence to found GroupRaise and manage their Houston office. Check out the rest of the episode to find out how Kevin plans to empower students across Latin America to uncover the potential of the region!   Show Notes 1:33 - Nathan introduces Kevin Valdez 3:25 - How Kevin met Devin Baptiste while discussing their entrepreneurial dreams in university 6:10 - Did you always know you would be an entrepreneur? 10:50 - What it is like to move from rural Guatemala to Houston, Texas 13:16 - How Kevin’s ESL teacher changed his life 16:22 - The perspective Kevin gained from growing up in Guatemala 19:40 - One key lesson to build a successful business: be extremely customer-focused 21:51 - Advice from Kevin’s father: “Don’t waste any time.

It's almost finally over!  Today, I share some final thoughts on the 2016 election and make my closing arguments against Donald Trump.  With guests Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, Pulitzer-winning New York Times journalist David Cay Johnston, former CIA/NSA director, General Michael Hayden, Stuart Stevens, chief strategist for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, Jonah Goldberg, senior editor at National Review, CNN Global contributor Parag Kanna, Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of Slate Magazine, General Wesley Clark, and former Mexican President Vicente Fox.

In his frankest interview yet, former Mexican President Vicente Fox pulls no punches about the man he calls a “false prophet."  It was recorded the same week as his apology to Donald Trump, and President Fox strikes a very different tone, doubling down on his statement "I'm not going to pay for the f-ing wall" and adding "and please don’t take out the f-ing full word." Vicente Fox compares the man he calls the "hated gringo" and "ugly American" to Latin American dictators like Hugo Chavez and Juan Peron.  He also warns that if Trump starts a trade war, then Mexico could retaliate by stopping or limiting money transfers and remittances for US corporations and American tourists in Mexico.  Because as Vicente Fox says "Don’t play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, & we can defend ourselves."  And he warns that if Trump becomes President, he "could take us to a war, not just a trade war."   Special thanks to the Milken Institute for hosting this interview during the 2016 Milken Global Conference.

Republican debate: Marco Rubio swings at Donald Trump. Marco Rubio was on fire Thursday night. For weeks, he's resisted taking on Donald Trump, who has eviscerated other Republicans who threatened his status as the front-runner. That reluctance evaporated during the final GOP debate before Super Tuesday as Rubio delivered blow after blow at Trump, attacking him on his immigration, foreign policy and health care positions, along with his business hiring practices. "You're the only person on this stage that's ever been fined for hiring people to work on your project illegally," Rubio told Trump at the debate airing on CNN. Rubio and Trump spoke over each other as the senator accused the real estate mogul of hiring Polish workers. Trump dismissed the episode as something that happened decades ago. "I guess there's a statute of limitations on lies," Rubio said. Rubio later mocked Trump for having a "fake school," referring to lawsuits aimed at Trump University alleging fraud and deception. Trump hit back: "Here's a guy that buys a house for a $179,000 -- he sells it to a lobbyist who's probably here for 380,000." Rubio responded by calling out Trump for his privileged background. "If he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan," Rubio said. And Rubio challenged Trump on foreign policy. Trump repeatedly stated his support for Israel, billing himself the most "pro-Israel" candidate in the GOP field. But even as he said he was "totally pro-Israel," he also said he didn't believe there was any reason for labeling Israel and the Palestinians as the "good guy" and the "bad guy." "The position you've taken is an anti-Israel position," Rubio said. When Trump said he was simply a "negotiator," Rubio shot back: "The Palestinians are not a real estate deal, Donald." Everything changes March 1 The tough talk comes as Trump heads into the March 1 Super Tuesday contests with remarkable momentum, after consecutive victories in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. Rubio has struggled to step out of Trump's shadow and Thursday's debate could mark a pivotal moment as he seeks to convince voters that he is best positioned to be an alternative to Trump and to unite a fractured Republican Party. Clashing on health care One of the most explosive exchanges between Trump and Rubio came when the candidates were asked to discuss their health care plans. Trump said he would get rid of barriers between the states --- something that he argued would increase competition. Rubio repeatedly pressed his rival for more details. "What else is a part of your health care plan?" "When you get rid of the lines, that brings in competition," Trump said. "Now he's repeating himself," Rubio responded. "I don't repeat myself. Here's the guy who repeats himself," Trump shot back, referring to Rubio. "I watched him repeat himself five times four weeks ago." Rubio, appearing amused, quipped: "I saw you repeat yourself five times five seconds ago!" The senator also accused Trump of reusing the same general points on the campaign trail: "Everyone's dumb, he's going to make America great again, he's gonna win win win, he's winning in the polls." CNN's Dana Bash cut in to ask whether Trump has anymore more to add to his previously stated proposal on health-care reform. "No, there's nothing to add. What's to add?" Trump said. Ted Cruz also went on the offensive, saying Trump had previously donated to Democrats who had worked on the so-called Gang of Eight immigration reform bill. Voters should judge a candidate by looking at their "record before they were a candidate for president," Cruz added. The conservative firebrand senator came in first-place in the Iowa caucuses but has not been able to notch another win since, and has been forthright about the ramifications of Super Tuesday, especially the significance of his home state of Texas, where there are 155 delegates at stake. A Monmouth University poll released Thursday put Cruz 15 points ahead of Trump in Texas. Trump's taxes Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, also played a role in the debate. He sparked controversy Wednesday when he suggested Trump's tax returns could contain a potential "bombshell" and urged the businessman to release his information. On the debate stage, Trump claimed that he was currently being audited and that he would not release the returns until that process was over. "I can't release it while I'm under an audit," he said. Cruz echoed Romney's suggestion that there may be something problematic lurking in Trump's tax returns. "Donald Trump says he's being audited. I would think that would underscore the need to release those returns," he said said. "He doesn't want to do it because presumably there is something in there that's bad." Cruz and Rubio said they would release new tax returns within the next two days. Supreme Court battle Cruz and Rubio also tussled with Trump over replacing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. When Cruz vowed to nominate principled constitutionalists to the bench as president, Trump shot back: "Justice (John) Roberts was strongly recommended and pushed by Ted." "Justice Roberts gave us Obamacare. Might as well be called Robertscare," Trump said. "That is a rough thing and I know Ted feels badly about it." Cruz slammed Trump for donating to Democrats in the past - a sign, Cruz warned, that Trump would get to Washington and "cut a deal" on Supreme Court appointees. Trump responded by blasting Cruz for being an obstructionist in Congress - "You have to have somebody who can make deals," he said. Rubio also joined in, saying he doubted Trump would "replace Justice Scalia with someone just like Justice Scalia." Responding to Fox Trump also responded to former Mexican President Vicente Fox's recent response to Trump's claim that Mexico would pay for his proposed U.S.-Mexico wall. "I'm not going to pay for that f---ing wall. He should pay for it," Fox told Fusion's Jorge Ramos in an interview published Thursday. On the CNN debate stage, Trump quipped: "The wall just got 10 feet taller." "I saw him make the statement. I saw him use the word that he used," Trump added. "This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television ... He should apologize." Trump went into the debate facing calls to release his tax returns. Mitt Romney told Fox News on Wednesday that there could be a "bombshell" in Trump's tax returns, a line that signaled anxiety inside the GOP establishment that the billionaire businessman might become the nominee. Trump struck back in a series of tweets and told CNN's Anderson Cooper, "there is no bombshell at all other than I pay a lot of tax and the government wastes the money."
