Podcasts about seth godin's altmba

Hello, listeners! Welcome back to Tech Forward. For this week’s rebroadcast, we're featuring my conversation with Wes Kao, a marketing strategy and product launch expert who works as a consultant and advisor to multiple consumer brands and tech startups. She serves as a mentor to entrepreneurs through her roles with WeWork Labs and Backstage Capital. Previously, Wes was the founding Executive Director of Seth Godin's altMBA. Today on the show, we’ll be talking about the leadership lessons she’s learned during her career, and her advice to other managers on how to adequately encourage and support women in the workplace. After years of working in the corporate retail space, Wes found herself drawn to the rigorous thinking and problem solving aspect of the tech sector. She worked with Seth Godin to launch altMBA, an online leadership and management workshop which under her leadership grew from zero to 550 cities in 45 countries over a three year period of high-growth. She brings her wealth of experience to the table when mentoring entrepreneurs through Backstage Capital and WeWork Labs, advising founders and CEOs on effective leadership and avoiding the pitfalls of bias. One key piece of advice Wes has for other managers is to conduct regular self-checks for bias. “The minute we think we’re above bias, or prejudice, or discrimination, that’s when we get into a dangerous spot.” Often, workplace culture permits pushback from white male employees — but punishes women or people of color for the same resistance, marking them as selfish or uncooperative. Though managerial roles often require split-second calculations in order to optimize the workday, Wes encourages managers to ask this question: “Would I react the same way to a white/male employee in this situation?” She also encourages similar self-checks when it comes to using language that reflects equitable treatment of employees. “Our automatic reaction might be to criticize, but those criticisms add up to a place where employees might not feel safe to lead, to challenge authority, and to ask questions.” Wes also emphasizes that it’s not solely the responsibility of leadership to effect change: “We can always positively influence the lives of our coworkers.” She cites moments from her own  career journey when her allies have taken seemingly small, but powerful actions to support her. When clients assumed her male colleagues were in charge, those men redirected the conversation both verbally and physically — asserting that Wes was at the helm, and turning to face her. In situations where you suspect bias or discrimination, Wes advises, “Go to your allies in the company first. They probably notice it too. When you do talk to the person, bring it up in a respectful way. Above all, don’t suffer in silence! If you don’t feel comfortable and confident to do your best work, nobody is winning.” Wes, I’ve really enjoyed hearing your insights and your stories, and I know that our listeners will too.

Heath is now an altMBA coach, recently flying to New York from hometown Melbourne to attend an altMBA Coaches Summit ‪where he was, in his words, "surrounded by some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met".‬

Transformation is like an onion - it has many layers. It's essential that any work centring on Transformational Design is rooted within our humanity. Kelli Wood, provost of the Seth Godin's AltMBA workshop and artist behind LittleBigWorks, talks about being an artist, finding meaning and living up to your true potential.

About Our Guest Helena Escalante and I met through Seth Godin's altMBA in early 2017. We spent just about a month together working on various projects and "ship it" constantly. As one of the ideas that came out of altMBA, Helena started her blog, Entre Gurus, attracts thousands of readers daily from around the world.  Helena is a fireball, full of energy. You can't help feeling upbeat, life is good when you are around her. After altMBA, we kept in touch with Gustavo Serafini's (also a guest on Feisworld) weekly Mastermind Group, when Helena more fully unveiled her potential and helpful nature as a colleague and a friend.  To learn more about and from Helena, check out her daily blog: https://entregurus.com/ Show Notes: [08:00] You mention that a podcast is likely going to be part of EntreGurus as well. Since the content is in both English and Spanish, are there going to be different podcasts or the same? [10:00] How do you feel about translations? How can you express the same emotion in one language and the other? [11:00] What are some of the things you have learned that you wish you knew before, now that you started with this podcasting journey. [13:00] How do you "write for the ears"? What are some of your examples?  [16:00] Are you planning on writing for your podcast, and recorder it afterwards? Or would you prefer having a list of bullets and improvise a little bit. [18:00] What are brain writing and brain mapping? [25:00] Can you share with us your origin story? Where did you grow up and when did you move to the US? [26:00] How old where you at the time you were helping your parents with their business? What did you do to help them? [28:00] Do you think your parents influenced what you do today, your interests and your love for knowledge? [29:00] Was your path unusual for a Mexico City-based family? [30:00] How did it make you feel when you were young that your parents had such different activities and ways of living compared to other Mexican families? [33:00] What brought you to the US? [36:00] When did you start your own business and why did you choose to do that? [37:00] What are some of the services your business provides? [40:00] What is your experience hiring a contractor for a task? What lessons did you learn and what do you look for? [45:00] How did you decide to become an entrepreneur? Why did you join altMBA? [59:00] How do people find you and connect with you? Favorite Quotes [10:00] One of the things that I love is this term called ‘transcreation’: you are not just translating, you are taking a little bit of freedom of changing the message to where it really resonates but without taking anything away from the essence. It’s really that act of transcreation that you are putting together when you go from one language to another. [13:00] I have come to believe that one of the best things you could do is not sound canned. Also, it is very different to write for an --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

In a recent Mastermind conversation with alumni from Seth Godin's altMBA, we talked about overcoming plateaus (as content creators) and the very moment where we feel stuck.  One of the group members, Gustavo Serafini said, “What if we can embrace the plateau?” It made me pause. Not only am I asked to fight my enemy, now I need to make friends with it too?! There is no easy path to consistency and consistently delivering your work, no matter how interesting they appear at the beginning. As a podcaster, I find myself struggling from time to time, especially when I am about to launch a new episode. I love my guest but the work itself can be so hard and time-consuming. The next thing you know, you are saying no to friends’ parties, or that lovely walk you want to take on a Sunday afternoon. Instead, you need to stick to your schedule and SHIP.  So I decided to post a question in the Podcast Community public group on Facebook. The answers are unexpectedly heartwarming and useful.  Why not share the feedback from more than two dozens of podcasters who have made friends with their plateaus?  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

I met Angela Akinyemi during Seth Godin's altMBA in January 2017. We both belonged to session 8 and a cohort called "Ruby". altMBA is "an intensive, 4-week online workshop designed by Seth Godin for high-performing individuals who want to level up and lead." Previously on Feisworld, I interviewed another classmate named Gustavo Serafini on the show, and the episode was very well received.  In this episode, we talk about both of our experiences, as students at altMBA, and Angela as a coach. Angela and I met up in NYC not long ago and exchanged a few stories of our lives you are going to hear again on the show, including my new diet called Whole30 (Angela first introduced me to Whole30 and it has worked wonders on my body and mind.). For millennials who are listening to this episode, this is an opportunity to rethink what's possible. Angela is someone many of you can relate to. What have learned from this conversation?
