Podcast appearances and mentions of mike maddock

This week we talk to Mike Maddock, a serial entrepreneur, speaker and author, to learn about the two crucial personality types needed to lead a company. Everyone has heard of Walt Disney, but we will find out why his brother, Roy, was actually essential to their success. If you want to be a better leader, this episode is just for you. 

Mike Maddock is the Founder of Flourish Advisory Boards, hyper-curated virtual peer advisory forums for CEOs and business leaders who are focused on professional and personal growth. He is a serial entrepreneur, international public speaker, expert in innovation, and best-selling author. Mike has served over 25% of the Fortune 500 companies, helping them envision and create new growth avenues. As the Founder of Maddock Douglas, a globally recognized innovation consulting firm, he has also assisted in developing and launching new products, services, and business models for over 25% of the Fortune 100 companies. In this episode… What does it take for a company to embrace innovation and break through business plateaus? In the face of stagnation and resistance to change, how can leaders cultivate an environment that encourages fresh ideas and growth? According to Mike Maddock, a seasoned entrepreneur and best-selling author, the answer lies in the diversity of perspectives within a team. He highlights that successful companies embrace their customers' pain points and seek to innovate around what people hate about their industry. Mike also explains the importance of avoiding the "expertise trap," where internal knowledge can blind leaders to new possibilities — as well as the critical role of reframing a business' purpose, asking not just, "What do we sell?" but also, "What business do we have the right to be in?" In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Mike Maddock, Founder of Flourish Advisory Boards, to discuss the key factors that drive innovation and help companies break through plateaus. They explore how to assemble effective teams with diverse roles, tackle the fear of risk in established companies, and embrace market gaps for new growth. Mike also shares the personal story of how his wife's strength and love influenced his perspective.

In episode 81, Coffey talks with Christina Harbridge about storytelling as a tool for leaders to create engaging communication. They discuss the importance of authentic storytelling; the role of physiology in storytelling; the correlation between soothing mechanisms and innate talent; why leaders should engage in meaningful conversations and how to prepare for them; and the purpose of storytelling in business.Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—premium background checks with fast and friendly service.

About our Guest:Christina Harbridge is a behaviorist who trains and coaches individuals, teams and large groups to understand and leverage their own personal operating system when dealing with others who may or may not be rational.  Christina's early experience as founder and CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt through unorthodox tactics (such as being nice) shaped her worldview on workplace communication. Employees focused their interactions on filling a person's need to feel understood through emotionally literate tactics, rather than focusing on trying to collect a debt that may not even have been owed. This values-based tactic, reinforced by bonuses paid on thank-you notes received, reinvigorated the industry by resulting in collections three times higher than the industry average. The proof was in the wedding invitations.Christina has co-authored software, built and sold a successful finance industry company, practiced acrobatic swing dancing, participated as a NASA test subject and collaborated to design and weld several large-scale metal sculptures. She has served her community on the founding boards of The Bay Lights and Emerge America. Her story is covered in more detail in Simon Sinek's book “Start With Why,” Mike Maddock's “Plan D,” and Maria Ross' “Empathy Edge.”She is the author of Swayed: How to Communicate for Impact, which reached number one on Amazon's ‘Conflict' category list.Christina Harbridge can be reached at:Book: https://www.allegoryinc.com/swayed/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-harbridge/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charbridge Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinaharbridge/ Website: https://www.christinaharbridge.com About Mike Coffey:Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, human resources professional, licensed private investigator, and HR consultant.In 1999, he founded Imperative, a background investigations firm helping risk-averse companies make well-informed decisions about the people they involve in their business.Today, Imperative serves hundreds of businesses across the US and, through its PFC Caregiver & Household Screening brand, many more private estates, family offices, and personal service agencies.Mike has been recognized as an Entrepreneur of Excellence and has twice been named HR Professional of the Year.

Doug and Mike spoke about the biggest blind spots for leaders. Leaders must have a broad perspective, yet failing to recognize one's own blind spots can be just as destructive as failing to observe everything that is going on around one. Being unaware of what it takes to use their authority effectively is one of the largest blind spots for leaders. They might therefore not recognize the issues.

By far, the most popular story from my book The Empathy Edge is the story of Christina Harbridge and her magical collection agency. The story of how she created a culture of empathy that led to transforming a usually bleak work environment into a thriving culture, resulting in success rates 3X the industry average and whose clients would send thank you cards and wedding invitations! How did she do it? What is she doing now? Is the agency still around? These are all questions I get and ones Christina herself is here to talk us through today.We also speak about how she accidentally stumbled on this business model - and how she now teaches leaders to do the same. She shares the biggest obstacles leaders face in transforming their cultures and breaking outdated models - and the financial success that comes from treating employees and customers with dignity, respect, and empathy. Finally, we talk about the important role of systems design in ensuring your company can actually live out it's values day to day and make them more than a talking point. Key Takeaways:The goal of your first interaction should never be to complete a transaction or whatever your agenda is, but to gather trust and to find out the truth. Empathy is not a strategy. It is a feeling and a mindset. To have a strong team, you need to have people that work differently than you do. Empathy is required to be curious and open to understanding the needs of those teammates.  "What we were doing was filling people's basic need to feel understood, which is an underlying need. That drives commitment." —  Christina Harbridge Christina Harbridge, Mischief Executive Officer, AllegoryChristina Harbridge is a behaviorist who trains and coaches individuals, teams and large groups to understand and leverage their own personal operating system when dealing with others who may or may not be rational.Christina's early experience as founder and CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt through unorthodox tactics (such as being nice) shaped her worldview on workplace communication.

We have a returning guest for you today! Today’s guest talks about entrepreneurial forums and how beneficial they can be for your growth as a business owner, but only if you get plugged into the right community. Mike Maddock is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, executive coach, and writer. He calls himself an Idea Monkey because he loves to solve problems with disruptive ideas. His company, Maddock Douglas, INC, has become an internationally recognized innovation consultancy firm and has helped more than 25% of the Fortune 100 create and launch new products. The second best decision Mike made (aside from marrying his wife, Ruth) was joining YPO/EO because he was able to get plugged into a high-level mastermind and get connected with a world-tier of entrepreneurs who understood exactly what he was going through. One of the mistakes Mike made early on when joining an entrepreneurial forum was that he would only network with people who were “relevant” to him or who could help him. This was a mistake because what you really need is diversity of thought. You want to surround yourself with people who ask you tough questions that might get you bent out of shape and/or irritated. They’re forcing you to grow, and think differently. A measure of a good forum is also the ability to get vulnerable. Entrepreneurs put everything in a blender, mix it up, and pray. We need people in our corner who can help us through the professional crisis as well as the personal crisis because it all blends together.   Interview Links: Sponsored by: Sweetprocess.com Maddockdouglas.com Flourishforums.com Mike-maddock.com   Resources: Scaling Up Workshop: Interested in attending one of our workshops?

In segment 1, we talk about disruption. Disruption is dangerous because most often it comes from outside the industry (think Uber and Netflix). We show you how you can become the next disruptor and make sure that your competition doesn't beat you there (including the competition you never saw coming)! About the guest: Mike Maddock is the founder of an internationally recognized innovation consultancy, Maddock Douglas, which has been engaged by more than 25 percent of the Fortune 100. He has written three books about innovation, which have been rated No. 1 on Amazon. His latest book is called “Plan D: Lessons from the World's Most Successful Disruptors”.In segment 2, the topic is franchising. A lot of unsuspecting future franchise owners think that everything they need to be successful is in the owner's manual of the franchise. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We talk about what you need to know about running a franchise before you decide to buy one. About the guest: Christy Wilson Delk is a business professor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, as well as a contributing franchise industry writer. She is the author of the book “Adventures in Franchise Ownership”.In segment 3, we talk to an entrepreneur about his experience with creating and selling a very niche product. How do you get it produced and, more importantly, how do you get people to buy it, especially if it's in a new category or niche product? About the guest: Jordan Barnett is the founder of Kapow Meggings, an online only retailer of men's leggings. In segment 4, we introduce you to an in-venue marketing platform that combines the TV in any brick and mortar business location with your smartphone and social media to drive engagement with the company. About the guest: Adam Hirsen is the CEO and co-founder of UPshow, the consumer engagement platform that's changing the way businesses think about in-venue marketing. Launched in 2015, UPshow's plug-and-play technology transforms a venue's TVs into engaging and promotional experiences.

Do you know what a disruptor is? They're the people that blow sh** up in your business so you can put it back together again...better. Our guest, Mike Maddock, will explain more and walk us through the lessons we can learn from the most successful disruptors. Welcome to episode 243 of the Entrepreneurship Elevated Podcast!

Industries are being disrupted again and again with disruptors like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and more. You might want to be a disruptor yourself, or maybe even learn how to better manage disruptors and work alongside them. What frameworks can you apply to be more of a disruptor? Today’s guest has some answers!   Mike Maddock is the Founder of an internationally-recognized innovation consultancy firm, Maddock Douglas. The firm helps corporations invent and launch new products, services, and business models. Mike loves to solve problems with disruptive ideas and has launched more than six successful companies.   Mike is out with a new book, Plan D, which dives into what disruptors have in common. Time and time again, Mike noticed that so many entrepreneurs just seem to be lucky people. In chapter five, Mike explores this concept a bit more and it appears the secret to their success is that they have an abundant mindset.   So, how do you manufacture an abundant mindset? After interviewing dozens of people for the book, some entrepreneurs sit down every day and write a list of everything they’re grateful for, others have an achieving exercise where they email their close friends a list of tasks they’d like to achieve for the week and check in with each other at the end of the week. By seeing the progress they’ve all made together, it creates gratefulness.   Experiencing little moments of gratefulness is what these disruptions are using, often unconsciously, to propel themselves into unknown and scary territory. It’s physically impossible to be afraid and be grateful at the same time, and by working with an abundance mindset, these disruptors are always looking for opportunity in the chaos.   Interview Links: Mike-maddock.com Mike on LinkedIn Scaling Up Business Podcast Episode 81 with Mike Maddock   Resources: Scaling Up for Business Growth Workshop: Take the first step to mastering the Rockefeller Habits by attending one of our workshops.

Dave interviews Mike Maddock, who is a serial entrepreneur, an author and a gifted speaker whose purpose is to inspire and empower curiosity. Mike loves to solve problems with disruptive ideas. This passion for problem solving led him to establish Maddock Douglas, Inc. in 1991. Maddock Douglas has become an internationally recognized innovation consulting firm. Since establishing MD, Mike has been the founding partner in four other firms including Ringleader Ventures, a company that invests in early stage startups that have solved the challenges of large enterprises in the insurance and healthcare industries. Mike is a featured columnist for Forbes, a contributor to Bloomberg BusinessWeek and the author of three books about innovation - Free the Idea Monkey, Brand New: Solving the Innovation Paradox, and Flirting With the Uninterested—Innovating in a “Sold, Not Bought” Category. He is also a past Chapter president of both the Entrepreneurs Organization and Young Presidents Organization. Last year, Mike has opened for President Bush (43), President Clinton and the five of the Sharks from TV’s Shark Tank ––so he believes in bipartisan innovation.

As someone who is trying to grow your business, what can you learn from the biggest of companies out there? We define fast-moving companies as gazelles and we depict the big, larger, companies as elephants. However, there are important lessons you can learn from both that should not be ignored!   Mike Maddock is a serial entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker. Currently, Mike is the Founder Partner of Maddock Douglas, an innovation consulting firm that has helped more than 25% of the Fortune 100 companies. Mike has personally launched five successful businesses, written three books, and he is also a columnist for Bloomberg Businessweek and Forbes.   Mike worked all throughout his teen years and has seen what good bosses and bad bosses looked like. A year-and-a-half after graduating high school, Mike started his own marketing communications company and grew the business up to 50 people.   Mike had a ‘Jerry Maguire’ moment and shifted his focus more on innovation. He started a new company and made $3.5 million in revenue within a couple of years. Since then, he’s learned a lot about research, consumer behavior, and fear!   Whenever you’re changing anything, people freak out and they go to what makes them feel strong, which is often the worst thing you can do when the world is changing around you. Fear makes people go ‘back to the basics.’ At the end of the day, it’s a balancing act between the creative/innovation types and the analytical types in an organization. When you can get the right balance of both, these companies survive and thrive in new environments.   Mike shares an example of a meeting gone wrong, at least it appeared to be. Mike was presenting research to dentists about an emerging marketing, teeth whitening, and they ripped into him. Mike and his team predicted teeth whitening would be a $4 billion opportunity, today it is an $11 billion market. The dentists that ripped into him were experts in their market. However, the more you’re an expert in something, the harder it is to see growth, opportunity, and possibility.   Interview Links: Maddockdouglas.com Mike on LinkedIn   Resources: Scaling Up for Business Growth Workshops: Take the first step to mastering the Rockefeller Habits by attending one of our workshops.
