Whoopi Goldberg drops by to laugh out loud with Phil… What happens with Joe Biden makes a surprise appearance?

We start the episode chatting about our Clarity and how it feels. It feels GOOD. Julia feels good about where she is, where she wants to go. “Clarity on the NO.” We coined a new phrase! Sarah feels clear about a few things she does NOT want to do - and what she wants to focus on. We are looking ahead to 2019 and our Menopodcast Empire - or Menopyre, if you will. We’re planning to use the 12-week Year to achieve our goals - check out the book. It’s a super-detailed system for how to get things done. We quote Dr. Phil: What’s the story you’re going to tell yourself when you don’t achieve this thing? Bible Study: Chapters 7, 8, & 9 Menopause Confidential by Dr. Tara Allmen - you can buy it - we love this book! Chapter 7 of the book is called “What’s the Skinny on Weight Gain?” According to the book, it’s about aging, not about menopause. Boom. It’s about our metabolism has slowed down. The Dr. wants us to talk about gaining better health, and not losing weight. Sarah wishes she could lose weight, but would not care about the Number, if she FELT thin and her clothes fit better. Julia lost 15 pounds in the first part of the year, and has gained back 7. She’s struggling with her food choices. Julia realizes there’s no point wearing clothes that don’t fit - so she got a pair of comfy jeans. We discuss how uncomfortable Spanx are. Sarah announces that she has a goal of running a 5K by the end of Q1. It’s a question of endurance for her. And her flexibility is lacking as well. Fitness goals! According to the book, it’s not rocket science - weight loss is a question of the way you eat, not the way you work out. Note - not all calories are created equal. Dr. Allmen calls it a “pattern of eating” instead of a diet. She mentions Weight Watchers as a method, because it helps teach you a good pattern of eating. She mentions a sad statistic - 52% of the vegetables Americans consume are potatoes and tomatoes, in the form of French fries, potato chips, ketchup and pizza sauce. We reminisce about foods from the 70s, like Banquet Fried Chicken and Swanson Frozen Dinners. Chapter 8 - “To Pee or Not to Pee?” Turns out not everyone who gets old needs to use Depends. Do your Kegels! It’s really important to have a strong Pelvic floor. Not just for the urinary incontinence… There are two types: Stress and Urge. Like laughing or coughing - and getting on a trampoline. But it can be related to a medical problem as well, so get that checked out. And then the Dr. mentions something called a Pessary, which we had never heard of, which is something that can help prevent stress incontinence. It’s kind of like a diaphragm, but it supports your urethra. Plus there are apparently physical therapists who can help with pelvic floor biofeedback - to help you teach yourself to strengthen those muscles. And we mention the dreaded bladder infections. Keep it clean! Chapter 9 - “Who is that Wrinkly Old Woman in the Mirror?” Sarah has sadly looked in the mirror and said that to herself recently. It feels like the wrinkles came on not that long ago and are exponentially multiplying. But both Sarah and Julia are bothered more by the age spots than the wrinkles. Ugh. Growing up in Hawaii, sunblock was when the cloud went overhead. We never used any, so we did damage to our skin years ago. Neither of us like to Tan anymore. Dr. Allmen mentions she has had some Botox. Julia and Sarah would like to get the eye lift probably because the droopy-ness bothers us. Sarah has researched getting her age spots removed, but isn’t interested in getting Botox. Sarah wants the age spots removed from her hands and has seen a new spot on her face. Double ugh. And smoking is very bad for your skin! Julia admits she’s a little judgy about smoking and wishes people would save their $$ and their health by not doing it. And the chapter also mentions how, as we age, our skins heals more slowly from wounds, too. It’s the lack of Estrogen. Hot Flashes? Nope! Yay!

Phil Libin is the Co-Founder & CEO @ All Turtles, the startup that believes they have a better way to make technology products, placing products first and companies later. Today they are building AI products in San Francisco, Paris and Tokyo. As for Phil, prior to All Turtles he was a Managing Director @ General Catalyst. Before that he spent 23 years founding different companies including founding Evernote, taking it from idea generation to productivity powerhouse raising over $160m in VC funding in the process, from some of the very best including Sequoia Capital. Phil is also an extremely successful angel with a portfolio including Gusto, TellApart and Binary Thumb just to name a few. In Today’s Episode You Will Learn: 1.) How Phil made his way into the world of tech startups many years ago, how that led to his entering VC with General Catalyst and to now, founding All Turtles? 2.) How does Phil assess the state of Silicon Valley today? Why does Phil believe that Silicon Valley has been becoming increasingly redundant over the last 20 years? Why does Phil argue that the VC Silicon Valley model has been primarily effective at serving it's own needs? What needs to occur for this to change? 3.) Why does Phil argue that the balance of power between startups and incumbents is shifting for 5 core reasons? Why does Phil believe that the data incumbency argument with AI startups is largely overstated and a fear tactic? How does Phil believe people's attitude toward working for incumbents has been shifting over the last few years? 4.) Why does Phil believe that the concept of a "company" is fundamentally outdated? What is so broken about this model? What does Phil believe will be the model of the future for the world's best product creators? Why does the idea of a generalist VC in this model largely not make logical sense to Phil? What does Phil believe the future of VC is? 5.) Why does Phil believe that his time in VC has made him a better CEO than even his time in operations? What have been his core learnings? How has his operating mindset fundamentally shifted? Why does Phil argue the core role of the CEO is not management upscaling? Why does Phil argue it is wrong to assume the only mindset is growth?

As a country, we're pretty good at putting Humpty Dumpty back together, yet we fail to explore why or even help prevent him from climbing the wall in the first place. On this first of a two part podcast, we're exploring the hiccups within the US healthcare system and how it affects our most valuable asset, our own health.  ---- Do you have a question?

We know that a lot of weight rests on our shoulders and we do not have the luxury, most of the time, to take off work due to poor health. On this first of a two-part podcast, we're taking a look at our U-S health system to uncover its flaws and understand what changes are being made that will affect both doctors and patients. Especially with the Baby Boomers about to reach retirement. Nir Menachemi: We cannot afford as a nation to continue spending as much as we do, and worse, we have an aging population that's going to go onto Medicare, the Baby Boomers. Mathematically, we just don't have enough money in the system to not focus on prevention anymore. Let's get to the podcast… ||ROI Music Plays|| MATT: Welcome to another episode of the ROI Podcast presented by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, I'm your host Matt Martella alongside Associate Dean Phil Powell. On this two-part series, we're taking a look into the current healthcare system in America and what changes are on the way that could affect both doctors and patients – ultimately allowing us to protect our most valuable assest as leaders, our health. Before we dive into the content, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been sharing our podcast on social media. It's an honor that you find our content valuable for not just yourselves, but for your friends and family too. If you could do us a huge favor, we would love it if you could go to your favorite podcasting app and leave us a review because that helps our show grow. And for those of you tuning in for the first time, we just want to say welcome to the Kelley family. We work hard to help organizations make better business decisions through our weekly podcasts because we know the organization is only as good as its leadership. So, if you would like for us to explore a topic, have any questions we could answer, or would like to recommend a guest for our show, shoot us an email to ROI-pod, that's roipod@iupui.edu. On today's episode, we sat down with one of Kelley's Business of Medicine professors, Nir Menachemi, who helps us unpack the confusing healthcare system we have here in America and unveils some shocking truths about where we rank among the world's healthcare systems. And on next week's episode, Nir will help us understand what changes are being made and how they will affect us and our families in the future. In a recent entry in the Journal of American Medical Association, published in early 2018, the United States spends almost twice as much in medical care than any other country around the globe. That makes sense, we're a leading economic nation, we have a large population, and the price of healthcare in this country is expensive. But here's what's shocking – though we spend way more than any other country, according to this study, the U-S has the lowest life expectancy and the highest infant mortality rates out of every country. Why? PHIL: Before we have Nir answer that, let's put some dollars and cents to show how much we're actually spending. According to that same journal entry, in 2016, the U-S spent 17.8 percent of its entire gross domestic product, or GDP which translates to $3.31 trillion. That's 3 with 12 zeros after it, for those trying to picture the scale. The closest country, on the highest end of that spectrum, spent 12.4 percent of their GDP. Yet, that does not translate into twice the quality of care. So where's the breakdown? Nir Menachemi: We know that for any population, the drivers of what makes them sick or healthy are a function of, first and foremost, the behaviors that they engage in. That includes their nutrition, exercise, and also include the level of education they have. These are all behaviors that someone can engage in, and in some cases, people do not have the option, given their life circumstance, to engage in some of those behaviors. Our best research and science underpinning health suggests that as much as 50% of someone's health is a function of these behaviors that they are engaging in on a day-in and day-out kind of fashion. Another 20% of their health is a function of the environment that they live in. By environment, we're talking about the quality of the existential requirements of life. First and foremost, you need air - we're talking about the quality of the air. If you're in a high pollution area, for example, you'd be chronically exposed to poor air quality. After air, we need water - you can look to Flint, Michigan to see what happened for example, when the quality of water goes south, it has huge repercussions in terms of health conditions that are then manifesting themselves in the population there. The next important thing is the quality of the food that we eat, and the last thing in our environment is the quality of our shelter. You can think about exposure to lead in children in lower quality shelters, or asbestos within buildings or homes where exposure to that in our shelter could have serious implications to our health. Between behaviors and environment, we just covered 70% of things that explains people's health and their outcomes after they're diagnosed with a disease. Another 20%, which brings us to a total of 90, are genetic factors. By in large, I describe genetic factors as the "lottery of life" - this is what you get when you are born, that is the hand you are dealt, and that's going to potentially pre-dispose you to different conditions, ailments, or situations that affect your health. By in large, as much as the whole field of genomics and genetic manipulation and intervention is exciting - there's almost the Star Trek kind of feel to it - there's very little that we can do for the vast majority of people given what their genetics are. The amount that we are able to do, and are proud of, in science represents a fraction of 1% of all the things that might be possible one day. So here we have 90% of health is a function of things that has nothing to do with accessing the healthcare system, or even going to the doctor in the first place. The last 10%, based on well-cited and well-supported research, is access to care. And yet, access to care in the minds of almost everyone is the make-or-break for what's going to decide your health. That's just plain and simply not true. I don't what to say that access to say isn't important, it absolutely is, especially once you are sick, but in terms of what's going to prevent you from being sick in the first place, or delay the amount of time before you develop your illness, it's all those other things. The US spends more per person on healthcare than any other country in the world. In fact, I'll make it more dramatic, more than any other country in the history of the world. The most recent estimates suggest that we spend on average $10,000 per person in the United States per year on healthcare… These are high-income, mostly European countries, who spend significantly less than us. When you look at our report card in terms of how we do versus them, they beat us on almost every metric. In fact, there are almost no metrics that the United States does better on, despite our higher spending. One of the reasons that might be is that when you take our $10,000 per person that we spend - and remember, those breakouts on what the size our health helps to determine who's going to be healthy and who's outcomes are going to be best - we spend 88% of our dollars on that 10% access to care piece. We spend relatively little or nothing, something like 4%, on health behaviors, which as we discussed, explain 50% of the outcomes of people and populations in terms of their health. We have this lopsided focus on putting our money towards sick care, as opposed to preventative care. I always joke that it's like our healthcare system is focused on Humpty Dumpty - as everyone is well aware, he fell off the wall, and got to be put back together again. All of our resources are focused on figuring out how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. If you have a heart attack - and by the way, the United States does relatively well on heart attack mortality - that's very akin to putting Humpty Dumpty back together again: you're sick, we know how to fix you. But we do relatively poorly on the world's stage in preventing heart attacks in the first place, even though we know what causes them. PHIL: I love Nir's example of Humpty Dumpty as a reflection of our current healthcare system. You know the old nursery rhyme – humpty dumpty sat on a wall, humpty dumpty had a great fall, all the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put humpty back together again – except as a country, we are able to put humpty back together again. The only problem is, we never address why humpty was on the wall in the first place. If we could prevent him from climbing the wall from the beginning, we would not need to put him back together. MATT: And if we follow the money trail, like Nir said, it's evident we pride ourselves to be able to put sick people back together. I want to reiterate what Nir shared, 10% of our healthcare needs come from access to care – though it's important, it's a small sliver compared to the rest of what keeps us healthy. Yet, how we spend our money is completely backwards. We put 88% of total health spending into a 10% slice, while we only spend 5% into the majority of what keeps us healthy in the first place. That completely contradicts what healthcare is – prevention. So number one, in order for us to protect our most valuable resource, our health, we need to recognize we have a serious problem in the United States. If any business in this country spent two times more than all of its competition, yet was still at the bottom of the list in performance, as business leaders we know that organization would crumble, investors would step in and restructure processes, or every decision maker would be let go. So how did we let this happen? Nir Menachemi: Not surprisingly, your listeners will be very familiar with the old adage of "it's always about the money". When you think about the traditional way that we have been paying for health services, it's always been fee-for-service - that means someone is sick, they go to the doctor, the doctor fixes them, collects a fee from the insurance company. The incentives there are not about prevention, there are actually perverse. The sicker the patients are, and the more problems they have, the more money that can be generated for the physician or the provider under a fee-for-service mentality. That has also contributed to a lot of the practices and the unnecessary spending and utilization that occurs. PHIL: What the journal entry also brought to light is compared to the rest of the world, Americans use close to the same amount of health services as other major world powers. So where's the breakdown? When we take a step back, what's clear is weak business leadership and decisions made within health organizations. Remember, doctors and physicians go to school to help people, they don't focus much on the business side of healthcare. So, what can be done? MATT: The second way we can protect our most valuable asset, which remember, is our health, is to improve business practices and leadership inside our health industries. Because there are sweeping changes coming through our lawmaking process that will completely change how we approach healthcare as a nation – we will get more into that on next week's episode. Nir Menachemi: It's been so delightful to work with the physicians in the Business of Medicine MBA program - you can take almost any one of them that has graduated in the last X number of years, and get the anecdotes of how they have been able to transform their practices and organizations. Even if they're still on the quest of doing so, talk to them about their confidence in being able to navigate these "treacherous waters" that no one else understands. When you go to medical school, you learn, intensely, how to focus on the individual patient in front of you - you don't figure out or you're never trained how to think about the larger picture, like the community or population you're responsible for, or all of the customers of the organization. Where do you learn that? You really learn that in either business school or public health school on how to think about the organization or the population. I think it's a transformative experience to be re-trained to think at a unit larger than the individual. We know that focusing on the population, or focusing on the organization, is where a lot of the low-hanging fruits to improve health outcomes are. At the end of the day, without physicians, I don't think this could be done, period. PHIL: At the end of the day, the health industry is a business – there's a cash flow and budget to keep hospital rooms stocked and the lights on, there's marketing strategies to incentives new clients to walk through doctors' doors, and tough business decisions that need to be made from owners or executives of health institutes. As Nir said, many of these disciplines are not taught in medical school. So for those physicians looking for help to sharpen their skills as organizational leaders, I highly recommend you check into an MBA program that's geared toward healthcare professionals – which the Kelley School of Business offers. Because not only will you be able to gain valuable organizational development skills, you can walk into meetings armed with the knowledge to make tough business decisions that will help cut unnecessary spending while offering great care to patients. Not to mention, when these changes, which we'll dive into next week, take effect. You'll be able to stay ahead of the curve and lead your team to success. Nir Menachemi: Because what's absolutely critical and something that my own research and observations has found time and time again, that the leadership of that conglomerate has to have strong physician presence. It cannot be by administrators, suits, or by insurance companies, it's got to be strong physician leadership in that decision-making, or at least, strongly influencing the decision-making that occurs at that level. We know that because unlike administrators or insurance companies, physicians are in the trenches, seeing exactly what's going on in and are interacting with patients on a day-in, day-out basis, and more importantly, patients trust physicians. When I am sick, I want to see a doctor, and I want to know what she has to say. I don't really want to hear what the CEO of her hospital currently has to say about my condition. I'm just trusting that in the background, the organization is going to be doing all the things that I want and that are important for me. Sadly, and I'll bring my dad back into this, as a primary care physician who's now retired, he never had an interest, and frankly, never had an opportunity, and was self-selected to not care about the business and leadership side of organizations. He wanted to see patients in the clinic, and that's what he did, for forty years. I don't think physicians have that luxury anymore because the demands on them are to be experts in the exam room or the surgical suite, also engaged in organizational decision-making, and then in leadership by walking around with their colleagues, helping them understand why this decision is critical for everyone's best interest. Without physicians in that role, and physicians need training and to beef up their business in leadership skills to be able to do that effectively, we're not going to move as quickly towards the panacea that I think everyone needs us to be at. ||ROI MUSIC PLAYS|| MATT: So let's recap... on this first of a two part podcast, Nir helps us understand why our health system needs work so we can ultimately know how to protect our most valuable asset, our health. He said that 90% of our healthy well-being happens outside of the doctors' office. Yet 88% of our entire health spending goes to 10% of our well-being – that is fixing a person AFTER they're broken. Our current, “fee-for-service” healthcare model is fairly good at putting Humpty Dumpty back together, but we fail to understand why he climbed the wall in the first place. It incentivizes doctors to only treat people after they have an issue instead of working toward preventing people from having to see the doctor from the beginning. The first way we can work to protect our most valuable asset, our health is to recognize that we have a serious problem with our current system. As a country, we spend almost twice the amount in healthcare, yet we fall to the bottom in the quality of care, compared to other countries around the world. The second way we can start protecting our health is to improve the business practices and leadership within our healthcare organizations. Remember, doctors are focused and trained on how to care for a patient, which leaves room for growth on how to create the best organizational practices. There are incredible educational programs out there, like the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA, to help doctors bridge that gap. And as we'll get into next week, this is not an easy fix because it involves changing the entire culture behind our current healthcare model that's been around for decades. Be sure to come back next week, where we continue our conversation on how to protect our most valuable asset, our health. Nir will help us explore what changes are underway and how they will affect not only the doctors providing the care, but also us as patients. This has been another episode of the ROI Podcast presented by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. I'm your host Matt Martella alongside Associate Dean Phil Powell where we work hard to help organizations make better business decisions. We'll see you next week.

Welcome to the I.T. Career Energizer Podcast. In today’s episode, your host Phil Burgess interviews curator of JavaScript January, vice president of developer relations and product marketing for Kickbox and developer advocate Emily Freeman.   After many years of ghostwriting Emily made the choice to switch careers to software engineering. Learn more about her journey on today's episode.   KEY TAKEAWAYS from Phil Burgess (05.53) It’s all about branding and positioning and it’s similar to brand/self-marketing (08:16) There’s a lot to be said for the changes in the way I.T. is delivered these days, unfortunately some corporates still follow a traditional waterfall approach, handing the process off to a series of individuals, resulting in friction and communication failure. (13.14) The reveal round: Phil asks Emily some quick-fire questions. Q1. Phil: What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? Emily: The problems and the ability to think abstractly, I love the idea of being a tenacious problem solver. Q2. Phil: What is the best career advice you’ve ever received? Emily: To be you; when you are your authentic self, you are your best self. Q3. Phil: If you were to begin your I.T. career again right now what would you do? Emily: I would rewind back to school and learn more about ‘true computer science’. You can learn the CS fundamentals in a fun way. Q4. Phil: What career objectives are you currently focusing on? Emily: Growth and moving towards the next challenge. My biggest objective would be to solve increasingly bigger problems. Q5: Phil: What’s the number one non-technical skills that’s helped you in your I.T. career so far? Emily: Absolutely my writing, I put so much practice into writing and it’s really helped. The best writing is conversational, authentic and written the way you speak. Q6. Phil: Can you share a parting piece of advice with the audience? Emily: What I tell everyone is, if you have to choose between becoming better at something or promoting yourself, I would choose promoting yourself. You don’t have a lot of time and the people that are ‘experts’ aren’t the most technical, they’re just the most visible. KEY TAKEAWAYS from Emily Freeman (01.06) Phil asks Emily to tell us a little bit more about herself. Emily welcomes the audience and shares in more detail her career story. Emily found a career in ghostwriting and runs a freelance copywriting business called EditingEmily (@EditingEmily). After moving into engineering her background in writing has been significantly helpful, and now Emily has been an individual contributor in Java and is currently a ‘Developer Advocate’.   (02.34) Phil responds to Emily’s career background, asking her to explain what her role as a ‘Developer Advocate’ is? Emily replies, by stating that the role is relatively new to the industry and that it involves getting intelligent developer users to use API’s. It’s a mix between engineering and marketing and it can be described as the connection between engineering, marketing and product to ensure the wishes of the community are communicated to the company. Emily summarizes by saying “It’s a very interesting role and no two days are the same”   (04.41) Phil asks Emily to share a unique career tip, that the audience might not know and should? Emily responds quickly to say that “It doesn’t matter who you know, it matters who knows you”. Emily recalls a previous life lesson that explains that you can blend your professional and personal life together, to help your career move forward. And when an opportunity comes up, you want to be the name that pops into someone’s head. Emily goes on to say that by acknowledging self-promotion and personal branding we can highlight what we do well. (06:38) Phil asks Emily to tell us what her worst career I.T. moment was and what she learnt from the experience. Emily replies to say that in her first job as a developer, it was like an accelerator into finding out everything that was wrong in the industry. The setup of the engineering department was very old school and the developers didn’t have production access etc. That set up creates a great deal of personal conflict. (11.20) Phil asks Emily to explain what she is most excited about in the I.T. industry. Emily passionately responds to say that our technology is evolving so much faster than our brains. The biggest problems that we’re facing right now is that we’re human. It’s our fear, our patterns of behavior, our brain functions and our limitations because of that. As a result I.T. is an exciting area that is overcoming this, removing the decision process errors and choice ability so that people can do what they do best, and engineer. BEST MOMENTS - Emily states that her writing background has significantly helped her in her engineering career. - The aim of the Developer Advocate role is to speak marketing to engineering and vice versa, because a lot of the time these two things miss each other. - I feel uniquely blessed that I can talk at conferences and be a voice of the industry ABOUT THE HOST Phil Burgess, an I.T. consultant, mentor, and coach, is the creator and host of the I.T. Career Energizer Podcast.

In today’s episode, Phil chats with featured guest, Gualtiero Bazzana. Gualtiero is past president of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board, more commonly known as the ISTQB(r). He is also president of the ITA-STQB, the Italian chapter of ISTQB(r) and Southern Europe regional director of Alten, which is a technology and engineering group operating world-wide. KEY TAKEAWAYS (01.26) Gualtiero begins by explaining more about his responsibilities as Regional Director of the technology and engineering consultancy Alten. Gualtiero goes on to tell us about his passion for not-for-profit organisation ISTQB(r). (02.27) Gualtiero tells us how he is a family man with three children and that he has a great passion for skiing (02.51) Gualtiero says that his main priority is his role as regional director of Alten and his voluntary work for ISTQB is a secondary priority. (03.46) Gualtiero says that I.T. is in an exceptional moment in time, with a lot of opportunities. He goes on to say that we should all embrace change and take risks so that you can live without regret. Gualtiero reasons that we should take the USA’s approach to a career in I.T and act more aggressively and be positive. (06:23) Gualtiero says that the worst moment in his I.T. career was when he lost his biggest client, one that generated over 50% of the company’s income. Gualtiero explains that he felt a social responsibility for the staff he had hired and for the company that had just purchased his company. From the experience Gualtiero learnt two vital lessons: 1. Always surround yourself with good guys, and you’ll be able to work out a solution. 2. Always think about risk management. Don’t rely heavily on one source of income for your business. (10.16) Gualtiero talks about his career highlight by stating that he is proud to have been voted for two terms president of ISTQB(r), an organisation that spans many countries and cultures. He goes on to state that it is important to recognise the short term results of people, but to also look at their potential. (12:13) Gualtiero states that a career in I.T. is an ever changing learning curve. There are always new challenges as the industry evolves. He says that if you are enthusiastic about I.T. you will never be bored as there are opportunities for technical people, analytical people and those that want to be managers.   BEST MOMENTS (13:58) The Reveal Round: Phil: “What first attracted you to a career in I.T.?” Gualtiero: “For sure, the fact I get to work with cutting-edge technologies.” Phil: “What is the best career advice you have ever received?” Gualtiero: “It’s not really career advice, it’s life advice. Be always fair with the people around you, with colleagues, customers and suppliers. The world is big and small at the same time, it’s important to stay connected.” Phil: “If you were to begin your I.T. career again, what would you do differently?” Gualtiero: “I am so happy, I would do exactly what I've done again. Start working for a well-positioned consultancy company, which gives you the idea to experience different things. You have to see what’s around so that you can choose what you want to do.” Phil: “What career objectives are you currently focusing on?” Gualtiero: “I’m 52, so in the I.T. domain I’m close to being a dinosaur. But I try to be young, so my objectives are to develop the career path of the best people working with me, and to try to keep a good balance between work and life.” Phil: “What’s the number one (non-technical) skill that has helped you so far?” Gualtiero: “Constancy of purpose, if you want to be the best you need to work intensively. But also the ability to be open-minded changes.” Phil: “Gualtiero, can you share a parting piece of advice with the audience?” Gualtiero: “I think that the I.T. industry is a land of opportunities, for everybody. We can get so close to how the world is changing. We get to see the impact our projects have on life, on telecommunications, on banking and e-commerce. Phil: What’s the best way we can find out more about you?

In this episode of Conversations with Phil, I talk to Bernie Borges of Find and Convert, one of my favorite marketing and sales experts. We got to talk in person when I first moved to Tampa, and now, we got to record our conversation so you can listen in as we talk about social business, sales, and more. Phil: Can you start by telling us about your podcast? Bernie: My podcast is called Social Business Engine - and we have 106 episodes, it’s mostly large brands, IBM, Wal-Mart, and how they use social media strategically in their business across different functions, not just marketing… in sales, human resources, recruiting and internal communications. Phil: How are you qualified to talk about social business? Bernie: I have 10 years in tech sales and then transitioned over to marketing, 10yrs in corporate marketing, and my agency is 14 yrs old. Plus I’ve been podcasting. Phil: Why have a social business? Bernie: Simply put: Consumers don’t want to hear from the marketing department, they want to hear from the people. Click to tweet this quote! It’s the job of the marketing department to cross promote and tell stories to show others the good work your company is doing. Phil: What are you up against if you think you are just going to advertise on social? Bernie: If you don’t have a big brand or big budget then you’ve got to get out into the employee ranks and identify the ones that are doing amazing things for your company and capture their stories. Meet those people face to face and interview them, make it comfortable for them to tell their stories and then the marketing department’s role is to package it up for telling/sharing. Phil: Why do you think that more organizations don’t do that? Why doesn’t it work? Bernie: They don’t know to do that. They haven’t thought of that approach, they are working on the traditional model. Phil: What’s the benefit of getting the employee to tell their story instead of the brand? Bernie: Edelman Trust Barometer has been published every year, and it shows people trust people over the brand.  When you strengthen your bond with your employee and you strengthen your relationship with your customer. Phil: Why is target audience so important? Bernie: Delivering your marketing content to the audience that has the most probability of sharing your message and influence sales. A B2B seller has to understand the buyer’s journey and understand all the stages of the buyer’s journey and what the buyer needs in each of those stages and all the messages have to align with each stage. Jason Miller from LinkedIn has coined a phrase “Big rock content.” Make a big rock - then you can slice it up and repurpose it. From creating one big piece of content and through smart persona based marketing you create assets for each persona. Phil: So what’s next for Bernie Borges? Bernie: I’ve been delivering a Social Sharing training program to different companies and now packaging it up to deliver online for business development. Session 1 is the ‘Why” and then sessions 2-4 are all one on one coaching sessions. Once they start seeing the results they really start to understand it. Want more from Bernie Borges? Me too!
