Vergesst Band Aid, denn Sophie und Joko wissen, dass Christmas Time ist und haben sich in diesem Jahr für den guten Zweck etwas mit ihren Füßen ausgedacht. Wie das genau aussieht wissen wir nicht, aber fest steht, dass die besinnliche Zeit langsam aber sicher richtig rein knallt. Das äußert sich auch in Sophies Recap der berühmt-berüchtigten Studio Bummens Weihnachtsfeier, bei der es dieses Jahr statt Süßem nur dystopische Zukunftsvisionen gab. Außerdem ist Joko etwas eifersüchtig. Und zwar nicht nur, weil er die große Party verpasst hat, sondern auch, weil Sophie mit Jakob Lundt zu einem Influencerevent auf ein Schloss fährt, der Smart-CEO ihr einen exklusiven Brief geschrieben hat und er weiß, dass auch “Hot Boys” mal weinen müssen. Es wird also emotional und auch ein bisschen fragil. Popkultur darf diese Woche aber nicht fehlen und die kreieren Sophie und Joko heute selbst, mit diversen Gesangseinlagen, der Besprechung des neuen Kendrick Lamar-Albums und der Wiederentdeckung des großen Father John Misty.

She has spoken at MIT and Harvard, contributed to The Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review, and appeared on TODAY and CNN.

Venture capitalists' emphasis on high-risk, high-reward investments pushes founders to grow rapidly, secure significant funding, and heavily invest in growth-related activities. Risk Tolerance and Investment Decisions: Founders should carefully consider their risk tolerance when making decisions about offers from investors. Some investors may push entrepreneurs to turn down offers with potentially high returns due to the risk involved. Learn the difference between Venture Capital vs. Private Equity and their pros and cons. Why founders must comprehend their company's potential outcomes in both favorable and challenging markets, guiding them to make well-informed decisions that match their risk tolerance. Why redefining personal definitions of success beyond financial milestones is important.   Quotes: "The way people conceive of work and how it fits into their life has changed dramatically." – Kathryn Minshew "If you, as an employer, have this mindset that you're lucky just to be paid, you cannot get great people to do your job." – Kathryn Minshew "There's a lot of upside and a lot of downside to this approach [of venture capital]. The upside is they can take chances; they don't have to bet on a sure thing... The flip side... is that most investors would rather increase the chance of you being a billion-dollar company a little bit, even if it massively increases the chance of you going bankrupt." – Kathryn Minshew This episode is sponsored by Medjet.

In this episode, we explore Why CEO;s and Executives need coaching more than ever.  CEOs and executives need coaching now more than ever due to several factors that are shaping the business landscape and the demands placed on organizational leaders. Here are a few reasons why coaching is increasingly important for CEOs and executive: Complexity of the Business Environment: The business world is becoming increasingly complex and volatile. CEOs and executives are faced with rapid technological advancements, changing consumer expectations, evolving market dynamics, and global competition. Coaching can help them navigate this complexity, anticipate challenges, and make informed decisions. Accelerated Pace of Change: The rate of change in today's business environment is unprecedented. CEOs and executives need to adapt quickly, innovate, and lead their organizations through change initiatives. Coaching can provide them with the necessary skills and strategies to lead effectively in fast-paced and ever-changing environments. Leadership Development and Self-Awareness: CEOs and executives are expected to be visionary leaders who inspire and motivate their teams. Coaching helps them develop their leadership skills, enhance their emotional intelligence, and improve their self-awareness. It enables them to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, fostering personal and professional growth. Managing Stakeholder Expectations: CEOs and executives have to manage the expectations of various stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, customers, and the broader community. Coaching can help them enhance their communication skills, build strong relationships, and effectively engage with stakeholders, leading to more successful outcomes. Work-Life Balance and Well-being: The demands placed on CEOs and executives can be overwhelming, often leading to high levels of stress and burnout. Coaching can support them in achieving a healthy work-life balance, managing their energy and priorities, and developing strategies to promote their well-being. It can also provide a safe space for reflection and self-care. Ethical Decision-Making: CEOs and executives face complex ethical dilemmas and need to make responsible decisions that align with the values and purpose of their organizations. Coaching can help them develop ethical decision-making frameworks, strengthen their moral compass, and navigate ethical challenges effectively. In summary, the rapidly changing business landscape, increasing complexity, and evolving leadership demands make coaching an essential tool for CEOs and executives. It provides them with the necessary support, guidance, and skills to thrive in their roles, drive organizational success, and lead with purpose in the face of new challenges.

[15:10] Jassi's thoughts on Israel's data deal with Pfizer.  Key Takeaways:  Companies must lead with AI to stay relevant going forward as data volume, variety, and veracity increase. Decision accuracy and velocity will become the most significant competitive advantage.  As business and monetization models continue evolving rapidly, commercial success will depend entirely upon an organization's data and software acumen. These two key components will lead to true digital transformation in the future.   Moderna enabled their rapid vaccine development due to their digital-first approach and ability to operate as both a technology and biology company. On the other hand, the Pfizer-Israel deal indicates the growing importance for life sciences to access data.  Meet Jassi Chadha:  Jassi is an entrepreneur, a highly regarded data scientist, and an influential thought leader in the rapidly-evolving data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) fields.

What You Will Learn: How Molly started D2DInc and became involved with the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) shortly after to seek support and education What pain points D2DInc experienced at the seven-figure mark, and how they made a wildly successful business pivot out of consulting and into government contracts How the business pivot from consulting to contracts took time to implement but made a dramatic difference in the company's growth How the organization prioritized roles when they needed to recruit and hire new team members, and how they have worked to unify their team and its diverse roles What suggestions Molly has for any organization interested in making a business pivot into government purchasing contracts How Molly learned to delegate and begin working on the business rather than in it as the team grew from 8-10 people to over 80 How D2DInc's period of rapid growth caused the company's leadership to be stuck in a reactive mode, and how stabilizing the team allowed them to become more strategic How Molly and her team have developed a strategic meeting cadence that has helped them look ahead and be more intentional How NAWBO has launched a group called the NAWBO Circle specifically for the 3% of women-owned businesses that make more than $1 million in revenue About Molly Gimmel Molly K.
