This was new territory for me. It turns out that so many of the things that so many of the things taught in business school and sales workshops throughout that industry had their origins in the innovations that Mike brought to the industry. Before Mike's work, sales was always seen as "pitching products." Mike simple yet profound innovation flipped that approach onto its head - successful sellers don't move products, they solve industry problems by helping workers find solutions.Mike Bosworth is well known throughout the business sales world as a trainer, speaker, and the author of best selling sales books Solution Selling: Creating Buyers in Difficult Selling Markets (McGraw-Hill, 1993), What Great Salespeople Do: The Science of Selling Through Emotional Connection and the Power of Story (McGraw-Hill, 2011) and co-author of CustomerCentric Selling (McGraw-Hill, 2003). Mike founded and grew one of the most successful virtual businesses in the B2B arena. After 10 years with Xerox Computer Services and one year with a software start-up, he founded Solution Selling® in 1983, began adding licensing his intellectual property to affiliates in 1988 and by the time he sold it in 1999, over 50 affiliates were contributing royalty income in excess of $2.8M annually. Mike began building Story Leaders™ as a framework for building emotional connection in 2008 and published a new book, What Great Salespeople Do, the Science of Selling Through Emotional Connection and the Power of Story in January, 2012. In January 2013, Mike founded Mike Bosworth Leadership. MBL currently has eight affiliates who sell and deliver his Story Seekers™ workshops.Bosworth has a degree in Business Management and Marketing from California State Polytechnic University. In addition to his keynote speaking for professional associations and major corporations, he has been a featured lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, The Stanford Program on Market Strategy for Technology-Based Companies, The American Marketing Association Customer Message Management Forums, The Anderson School Of Management At UCLA, the Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine, The University of Connecticut and Rollins College to name a few.

pWotD Episode 2899: Peter Navarro Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 186,579 views on Wednesday, 9 April 2025 our article of the day is Peter Navarro.Peter Kent Navarro (born July 15, 1949) is an American economist who has been the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing to U. S. president Donald Trump since January 2025. He previously served in the first Trump administration, first as the director of the White House National Trade Council, then as the director of the new Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.Navarro is a professor emeritus of economics and public policy at the Paul Merage School of Business of the University of California, Irvine. Navarro ran unsuccessfully for office in San Diego, California, five times. In January 2017, he joined the first Trump administration as an advisor on trade. As a senior administration official, Navarro encouraged President Trump to implement protectionist trade policies. He was a key official behind the China–United States trade war and advocating for hardline policies towards China; he was sanctioned by China after leaving office. During his final year in the Trump administration, Navarro was involved in the administration's COVID-19 response. He was also named the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator in 2020. Early on, he issued private warnings within the administration about the threat posed by the virus, but downplayed the risks in public. He publicly clashed with Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as Navarro advocated hydroxychloroquine as a treatment of COVID-19 and condemned various public health measures that aimed to stop the spread of the virus.Navarro sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election and advanced conspiracy theories of election fraud and in February 2022 was subpoenaed twice by Congress. Navarro refused to comply and was referred to the Justice Department. In 2022, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of contempt of Congress. In 2023, Navarro was convicted on both counts, and in 2024, he was sentenced to four months in jail, becoming the first former White House official imprisoned on a contempt-of-Congress conviction. In January 2025, he was appointed as the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Trump in his second term. In his second term, Navarro became a key official behind Trump's imposition of tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico as well as the "reciprocal tariff" policy announced in April.Navarro's views on trade are significantly outside the mainstream of economic thought, and are widely considered fringe by other economists. A strong proponent of reducing U. S. trade deficits, Navarro is well known for his hardline views on China, describing the country as an existential threat to the United States. He has accused China of unfair trade practices and currency manipulation and called for more confrontational policies towards the country. He has called for increasing the size of the American manufacturing sector, setting high tariffs, and "repatriating global supply chains". He is also a vocal opponent of free trade agreements. Navarro has written books including The Coming China Wars (2006) and Death by China (2011). In several of his books, Navarro quoted a fictional economist named "Ron Vara", an anagram of his name, as a source of information.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:48 UTC on Thursday, 10 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Peter Navarro on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

Blunt Business speaks with Connie Pechmann, professor of marketing with UC Irvine's Paul Merage School of Business and an expert in consumer behavior. She is the lead author of a paper that published in Addiction about research that focuses specifically on the California cannabis retail market, examining purchasing trends and product preferences among young adults (age 21-24) in comparison to older adults (age 25+) from 2018-2021.Connie shared that the University of California, Irvine, has a long-standing center for research in cannabis, and she wanted to reach a broader audience by publishing her findings in Addiction. She also revealed that her research was funded by a grant from the Bureau of Cannabis Control in California, which allowed her team to obtain data from retailers without having to purchase cannabis for research purposes.Connie also discussed the analysis of a large dataset on retail sales, focusing on the purchasing patterns of customers with loyalty cards. They noted that this approach allowed them to study legal sales without the complications of obtaining permission to use products on human subjects. They also touched on the issue of obtaining products for research due to legal restrictions, with Connie clarifying that their campus does not cultivate cannabis. The conversation then shifted to the research conducted on the effects of cannabidiol and THC on driving performance, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and stress responses among older adults.Connie also discussed the challenges and progress of research on cannabis. Connie explained that while research papers are published in journals as soon as possible, studies involving human subjects are facing delays due to bureaucratic hurdles and the need for extensive oversight.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

There are MILLIONS of kids with food allergies in the US, and in Canada, 1 in 2 households are impacted by food allergies. This is a huge topic and I'm thrilled to have one of the foremost experts, Dr. Rania Nasis, on to talk about what allergies are, and what we can do to support kids with allergies and their parents.In this episode, Rania and I talk about the basics of allergies and what qualifies as an allergy - it's an immune response to the food that's life threatening. We also talk about the difference between allergies and sensitivities. Food allergies are on the rise and there are actually ways you can prevent them. A 2015 study concluded that introducing food allergens earlier in a child's life can prevent severe allergies.The reality is, that if you have a child with allergies, you face added stress, worry and work to keep them safe. As a community, we all need to be a part of the solution and normalize food allergies so our kids don't feel excluded because of their differences. With the holidays upon us, there are lots of opportunities to do things differently so everyone feels included.If you have a child with food allergies, please visit Rania's site www.superawesomecare.com For Rania's inclusion guide, “How to be a Friend to a Kid with Food Allergies”, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Rania NasisRania Nasis is a physician entrepreneur and a startup mentor who builds and advises companies that give agency to the voiceless in healthcare: from seniors facing social isolation to kids contending with illness, Rania received her medical degree from New Jersey Medical School, Masters of Business Administration from the Paul Merage School of Business at University of California at Irvine and Bachelor of Science degree from Drexel University.

In this episode with Prof. Christine Beckman and Prof. Melissa Mazmanian, we talk aboutthe promises and challenges involved in conducting research in intimate spaces, such as inpeople's homes, instead of the workplace, where most organization and management research usually takes place.

Episode page: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake135 My guest for Episode #135 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Michael Juergens. He is a senior partner with a Big Four consulting firm, where he runs the Winery Solutions practice, overseeing the portfolio of services the firm provides to wineries. He is also a certified specialist of wine, a certified sommelier, and a Stage 2 candidate to become the 59th American to qualify as a Master of Wine, if he can “pass the damn exam” as he says on his website.

Michael also is a professor at the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California Irvine. He's a punk rock drummer and an adventure race addict In today's episode, Michael answers the “what is your favorite mistake?” question a little differently. He draws a bit on Buddhism to question whether anything is really a mistake, if whatever happens was meant to be. That said, he thinks that drinking certain wines is a huge mistake. So we talk about that in a wide-ranging and fun conversation. We talk about questions and topics including: You failed the tasting portion of the Master of Wine exam four years in a row, would you be upset if you failed again? You also started the entire wine industry in the Kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayas — tell us about that… Failing forward in Bhutan — Buddhist influence? What is “winedouchery” and why are you so opposed to it? Snobbery? Average price under $10? People who don't like wine? Champagne just for celebrations? Starting the distillery?? COMMON THEME —> “Self-limiting beliefs” What sparked that passion about wine? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support

This week, Dean Williamson interviews our very own Paul Merage, Chairman of MIG Group. Takeaways from this episode include opportunities for tomorrow's entrepreneurs as well as intrapreneurs, changing dynamics of global business and the future of technology. Paul is a philanthropist, an innovative and successful entrepreneur, and a champion of education. Born in Iran during World War II. In the early 1960s, his father sent him to the United States so that he might have a better future. He arrived alone and could barely speak English. However, he soon enrolled at Hope College in Michigan where he excelled as a top student, giving him the academic accomplishments necessary to transfer to UC Berkeley. By the time he was 22, he had earned both his bachelor's degree and his MBA. Paul planned his career carefully. He researched the restaurant industry to find out what owners and customers needed most and eventually used this information to found Chef America. With an eye for change, Paul recognized the demographic and social shifts in America — more working parents, less time to prepare meals for families and an array of advances made possible with the expanding use of the microwave oven. Paul seized this opportunity and created HOT POCKETS® as an innovative answer to societal trends. His new product ensured that Chef America was a great success, and it was eventually purchased by Nestlé. Now Paul is leaving a different legacy — giving back to the community. In addition to his namesake donation to The Paul Merage School of Business, he maintains involvement with organizations that reflect his own immigrant background and his passion for America. These charitable organizations expand educational opportunities for families with low to moderate income levels. The Merage Institute for the American Dream offers major fellowships to outstanding immigrant college students “to help them pursue their American Dream.” And through the Children First Foundation, needy children are provided with educational, developmental and mentorship opportunities.

Marketing professional, speaker, and writer Don Osmond focuses on authentic marketing to help businesses develop sound branding strategies. Widely regarded as a marketing and communications thought leader, he works with clients to develop the genuine narrative of their companies, which becomes the foundation for their branding and messaging. As a result, his clients establish brand positioning, avoid commoditization, and increase profit margins and market share. If you Google DzDon Osmonddz there’s a good chance you may find someone else with a similar name—Donny Osmond, Don’s father. Growing up in an entertainment family, they were often on the move. Don was born in Utah, but he often jokes that he grew up in a suitcase. After moving more than twenty times, he has gained more than his fair share of perspective and a knack for telling and retelling his stories. And of course, growing up as the son of an international entertainment icon provided a ringside seat for the ups and downs of the public life. After a particularly harsh season of media attention toward his family, Don entered into public relations with the misguided goal of becoming "the spin doctor of all spin doctors". Prior to going into public relations, Don studied at Brigham Young University, earning hisBachelor of Arts in communications. After a season of working as a professional in New York City as well as running his own public relations agency, Don attended the University of California Irvine’s Paul Merage School of Business. While working toward an MBA, Don began pulling together his expertise, and re-launched his company as OzComm Marketing—an interdependent marketing practice. The marketing philosophy employed at OzComm Marketing stems from Don’s lifetime experience in the entertainment industry, learning the art and strategy of transmedia storytelling. However, OzComm Marketing focuses on business-to-business brands, applying a cross-discipline approach. After years of education and experience, Don now knows that spin is not the answer at all; good marketing requires truth-telling and invitation. In fact, Don believes that authenticity is the only true value proposition that a company can offer. Customers are not looking to be sold a product or service; they are looking to engage with your story through experiences. Don serves his clients by developing genuine story-based marketing and authentic marketing strategies. OzComm Marketing happily works with both small businesses and large corporations, and offers everything from a first glance evaluation to the execution of complex campaigns. Outside of his client work, Don is a sought-after speaker and writer. In both mediums, He waves the banner of authenticity, presenting his guiding philosophies to those looking to develop their brand or establish a leadership position. Don lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Jessica and two tiny storytellers-in-training, Truman and Leo. He loves hiking, biking, and camping, all of which are easily accomplished in this city full of green spaces. He’s also a scuba-certified, professional bobsledder, though he has yet to use both skills simultaneously. He’s not ashamed to admit that he loves Legos and occasionally goes by "The Donfather". While he steers clear of the entertainment industry these days, he’s played the drums for more than twenty years—he does come from a musical family and live in the live music capital of the world, after all.

Peter Navarro Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine discusses his book The Coming China Wars: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be Won. China's breakneck industrialization is placing it on a collision course with the entire world. Tomorrow's China Wars will be fought over everything from decent jobs, livable wages, and leading-edge technologies to strategic resources such as oil, copper, and steel...even food, water, and air. Navarro also reveals how China has become the world's most ruthless imperialist...how it is promoting global environmental disaster... and, perhaps most terrifying of all, how this nuclear superpower and pirate nation may be spiraling toward internal chaos.
