Episode 56 – Your Bad Intentions Are Killing Your StartupWelcome back to the Career Coaching Xs and Os podcast—the show where we uncover the strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs that shape meaningful career success. In this episode, we dive into a compelling coaching session with the founder of a cutting-edge fintech startup facing a leadership crisis. After missing a critical launch deadline due to a compliance failure, the founder took swift and severe action—demoting the Compliance Officer, revoking some of his founder shares, and resorting to verbal beratement. This pattern of high-pressure leadership had begun affecting the entire executive team, pushing them toward burnout and creating a culture teetering on the edge of sabotage. Recognizing the urgent need for a reset, the founder scheduled a coaching session with me. What advice did I offer? How do you turn a failing leadership dynamic into a thriving, high-performance culture? Stay tuned as I break down the insights, strategies, and mindset shifts that could change the course of this startup—and maybe even your own leadership approach.

In short, Lazonick believes that no economic system can survive without "the firm," the kind of old school corporate organization that maintained a stable a social contract with its workers, sometimes over the course of an entire lifetime. In Lazonick's view, all economic growth and progress comes down to the ability of the firm to honor that social contract, which means he traces the slump we're in to the death of this tradition. But the question is, what caused us to become eternally itinerant workers in search of global opportunties, hopping from job to job every few years? Lazonick's got that answer, too. He points to a radical transformation of our financial and economic system that came to a head in the 1970s.

When Karolina first started her business, she would reach an uncomfortable edge every time she had to invest into it.  Even the very first $20 domain name made her nervous.  But she realized over time, that in the online coaching and education business, you have some of the lowest expenses and startup costs of any business model.  You don't have to invest in office space, get a lease, pay for cost of goods, production or factories, tons of employees, etc.  Most traditional business models require $500,000 - $1,000,000 in upfront investments to just get the business off the ground.  But the one thing she realized is the biggest and most important investment? Education and mentorship.  Education into your skills and your business know-how.  For Karolina, her vision for Euphoric started to take shape while she was working full-time. Hear how much she saved from her paycheck every month, how nervous she was to invest in each program, certification, or coaching she took, and how she's come to realize that continually investing in your skills and business know-how is the lifeblood of your company.  Furthering your skills (as a coach) and your business and marketing know-how is literally the most important investment in the business, and the only real big expense in an otherwise low-cost business model. Over the years, Karolina has poured over $200,000 into education, coaching, and personal development, with phenomenal returns grossing well over a million dollars in revenue!  But how did she get there?

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to John Johansen, a senior technology executive & operational leader with over 25 years of experience in consulting & executive roles. She is also joined by Steven Abel, partner at Oliver Wyman. In this episode, the two guests want to challenge & change current operational mindsets within large enterprises. They dive into the known tech challenges existing within our currently fast evolving digitalizing insurance space, why an experimentation culture is critical to drive the relevance & resilience business needs today, what are the most effective paths for evolution, reinvention & consideration, & insights on how businesses can leverage tech ecosystems to scale digitally-driven revenue models. KEY TAKEAWAYS          I started creating business applications when I was 13 years old & have been writing software ever since. I've been doing this in the insurance world for about 30 years. With Oliver Wyman we've been able to create a team that's able to build tools at speed that really improve our clients' businesses. InsurTechs have admirable qualities of being able to runs experiments & take them to investors & get feedback even in the early days then pivot on the back of those results. They can quickly create real, tangible products that people can touch, feel & react to which creates a new round of experimentation including more people giving feedback, more experimentation & more changes. We wanted to bring that into a corporate environment that didn't have the experience of that agility. The idea of responsible innovation is super important. There's nothing wrong with the big corporate machine because it does a lot of things well. It protects the risk agenda; it enables bullet-proof technology that's very stable. We have a very large client that we've done innovation for & we're beginning to scale that in the enterprise. We're not thinking of this in three lanes: The innovation group, the BAU support group, and the enterprise architecture group. One of the things that's fraught with peril in any IT organisation is when we go from development to beta tests, to launch, to productions support. Are we doing those things better? Is there less drama? Thinking through those early experiments & really demonstrating to people that the process is yielding that benefit/business change faster, with less investment, than an 18 month requirement process, an 18 month build & then a 12 month implementation. With the right experiments & stakeholder team we seeing those metrics trending in the right direction.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We're still seeing some bureaucracy, which means it's hard to maintain momentum. We wanted to break the bounds of the culture a progress in weeks not months.'‘There's a lot that we can do to improve business processes & be responsive to our business users by running small experiments.'‘The most important part of measuring success starts with picking the right experiments up front.'‘We can begin to measure by throughput: Is this process of experimentation actually getting us to faster, better business results, implementations, & hand-offs.' ABOUT THE GUESTS John Johansen is a seasoned senior technology executive & operational leader with a proven track record of success. Based in Naples, he brings extensive experience in driving growth & innovation within the technology sector.

Through this podcast series, I would like to demystify the world of corporate venturing, including how corporations collaborate with growth ventures, how venture capitalists & corporate venture capitalists make investment & collaboration choices in ventures & give tech founders & entrepreneurs, the strategies, tactics, tools, & techniques to build, grow & scale their business by understanding how those with financing power think.

A Note from James:Dave Asprey was this fat aging tech entrepreneur who realized he was going on a bad path and so he completely changed his life around. He kind of went to the scientific sources and did the research himself and practically started the field of biohacking, of doing experiments on himself with his diet, with the supplements, with the devices he uses. And now it's as if he's 20 years younger than he was 20 years ago.He started Bulletproof Coffee, which I'm sure many of you have heard of, and a new coffee company called Danger Coffee. You've probably listened to him on this podcast. And now he just wrote the book Smarter, Not Harder. I'll describe that in a second.I want to tell a story when Dave asked, but he's been on the podcast a bunch of times when he was on in 20, I think it was 2016, it happened to be coincidentally the first day I was trying standup comedy. So at the end of that episode, it might have even been after we shut down the cameras, at the end of that episode, I asked him, "Dave, I'm doing standup comedy for the first time tonight, and I'm really nervous. What's your advice?" I just wanted to, he's a smart guy. I respect him. I just wanted to put him on the spot a little bit and see what his advice would be. And he thought about it for about a second. And then he said, "When you get up there, love your audience." And that is the best advice for a standup comedy that I have ever heard before or since.And it's really worked well for me. And I would say the same holds true when I write, I always love my audience. And when I do public speaking or even this podcast, I always picture in my head loving the audience. So what does Dave write about in Smarter, Not Harder? Well, his very interesting point is that humans, from an evolutionary perspective, should be somewhat lazy.We need to have a lot of energy when our fight or flight reflex triggers. Like when you have to run from the lion that's chasing you, you have to use a lot of energy very quickly. And then, you rest. But Dave's point is that in our society, just staring at screens, we get that fight-and-flight response sitting still.And so our body and mind don't know what's happening. And his argument is the same for exercise. His point is, and he, and you know, we'll see a lot of people are going to have different opinions on this. His point is you might not need to exercise for hours at a time because. That's not what the human body is supposed to do. It exerts itself for very short spurts of time and then rests. So his whole book is kind of his biohack experiments on exercise, sleep, diet, and how you can live your life to perform more optimally. You know, it's an anti-aging book, so it's in that category. We've done a lot of anti-aging.Podcasts and they're always very fascinating to me and I ask him very, very specific questions about food, supplements, and exercise because I always want to know what I should do. The answers are always enlightening. So anyway, once again, here is Dave Asprey.  Episode Description:In a comprehensive discussion about biohacking for better health, Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and Danger Coffee, shares his journey from overcoming personal health issues to pioneering in the biohacking space. The conversation expands into Asprey's latest venture, Danger Coffee, and the release of his book Smarter Not Harder, offering insights into efficient exercise, debunking nutrition myths, and providing a deep dive into bodily and mental wellness. The episode covers a broad range of topics including the importance of dietary choices, quality animal proteins, managing stress, optimizing hormones, and the role of supplements like NAD+, zinc, and magnesium. Asprey also touches on technological advancements with an AI tool for supplement guidance, and the crucial balance of testosterone for health. Through personal anecdotes and expert advice, the episode serves as a guide for listeners to navigate their health, dietary habits, and supplement intake for a holistic approach to wellness. Episode Summary:00:00 Welcome Back, Dave: The Bulletproof Coffee Saga00:51 Introducing Danger Coffee: A New Brew on the Block02:49 The Biohacker's Guide to Optimal Body and Mind05:47 Navigating the Nutritional Maze: Vitamins, Minerals, and More12:22 The Journey from Tech Entrepreneur to Biohacking Pioneer18:50 Unlocking the Secrets of Sleep: From Light to Supplements38:28 Exercise for the 'Lazy': Rethinking Fitness41:33 Unlocking the Secret to Effortless Fitness41:48 The Power of Saving Time and Money42:23 Revolutionizing Your Workout Routine43:07 The Surprising Truth About Cardio43:49 Rethinking Exercise: Quality Over Quantity44:59 Maximizing Recovery and Nutrient Absorption45:28 The Role of Stress and Recovery in Fitness47:38 Harnessing the Power of Meditation and Mindfulness49:00 Building Muscle the Smart Way49:33 Debunking Plant-Based Protein Myths49:56 The Ultimate Guide to Gaining Muscle50:04 Exploring Innovative Fitness Technologies51:51 Navigating the Complex World of Nutrition52:15 The Hidden Dangers of Common Foods01:11:02 The Truth About Supplements and Protein Intake01:17:12 The Essential Role of Testosterone in Health ------------What do YOU think of the show?
