About Christopher Seifert:Chris Seifert, founder of Enabling Empowerment, is a dynamic leader dedicated to transforming organizational leadership and team performance. With 20+ years in manufacturing operations and strategic advisory, he empowers leaders through innovative strategies.At Enabling Empowerment, Chris combats micromanagement with training and coaching that foster creativity, ownership, and shared leadership. His achievements include leading a renewable energy company's growth from $450M to $1B, boosting production by 200%, and delivering $300M in EBITDA improvements. He also founded an Operational Excellence Practice at Wilson Perumal and is a decorated Naval Officer. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christopher Seifert discuss:Decision-making as a teachable skillMicromanagement and poor decision systemsThe seven-step decision-making frameworkDecision rights based on competenceDecision-making and employee engagement Key Takeaways:Implementing a structured decision-making framework allows leaders to respond effectively to both strategic and emergency situations, scaling the level of rigor based on urgency and risk.Leaders often become micromanagers not because of arrogance or distrust, but because they are stuck in a cycle where their team relies on them for every decision, leading to burnout and inefficiency.Organizations that grant decision-making authority based on demonstrated competence rather than rank create a more effective leadership structure, allowing better decisions at every level.Employee engagement increases when individuals feel they have a real impact on decisions, and leaders can foster this by involving their teams in the decision-making process rather than simply handing down directives. "Few organizations I've come across deliberately improve decision-making as a skill for their leaders. They leave it to chance, hoping they make more good decisions than bad and the bad ones don't wreck the company.” — Christopher Seifert Connect with Christopher Seifert:  Website: https://enablingempowerment.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EnablingEmpowermentLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherseifert/ & https://www.linkedin.com/company/enabling-empowerment/   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Dr. Marcelo Hochman:Dr. Marcelo Hochman is a well-known speaker and double Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon on a mission to build better medicine for patients and doctors, not just better business.  Recognized by CNN, WSJ, and USA Today, Dr. Hochman led the national charge on providing PPE for medical staff during Covid and is the president of Indedocs, an organization founded to help provide more options for patients and doctors and disrupt the controlling and limiting healthcare bureaucracy.  In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Marcelo Hochman discuss:The challenges of leading a company, building a team, or enhancing your personal brand when dealing with injuries or illnessesThe benefits of independent healthcare practices for both care providers and patientsThe significance of physician autonomy in preventing burnout and the challenges faced by doctors working within large healthcare systemsThe importance of exposing medical students and residents to private practice to foster fulfilling medical careersThe financial challenges faced by hospitals and the goal to provide alternative healthcare options Key Takeaways:Independent physicians offer patients more personalized care, with better access, quality, and convenience compared to large hospital systems.Smaller, private practice outpatient facilities can provide more efficient and personalized care compared to hospital-run outpatient centers, which are often volume-driven.Eliminating non-compete agreements, revising certificate of need laws, and incentivizing charity care through tax credits for physicians could transform healthcare in rural states.Employment in system medicine often leads to frustration and burnout, while independent practice allows for autonomy and patient-focused care.Despite the trend of physicians becoming employed, there are still opportunities for independent practice, such as the repeal of certificate of need laws and the banning of non-compete clauses. "Patients prefer the ease of access, convenience, and continuity of care that independent practices provide.” — Dr. Marcelo Hochman Connect with Dr. Marcelo Hochman:  Website URL: https://drhochmanspeaks.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarcelohochman/    See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Crypto creates an “incentive vortex” that is destined to take over everything, according to the investment firm's founder and CIO.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Polychain Capital founder and CIO Olaf Carlson-Wee has been through every single bubble in crypto history, from Bitcoin's rise past the single digits in 2012 to the ICO craze of 2017 to 2021's NFT mania, and he says his main thesis about crypto has remained consistent since the beginning. That is, that crypto constitutes an “incentive vortex” that will replace the world's preoccupation with country-backed currencies. Carlson-Wee, who was the first employee at Coinbase, joins Unchained to discuss the significance of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, how he successfully navigated all the industry blow-ups in 2022, the challenges of balancing incentives for early adopters versus new users, why EigenLayer is so significant, why Worldcoin's distribution strategy is a “disaster,” and the strange places that the intersection between crypto and AI could take us. Show highlights:Why Olaf sees the current market as the cusp of another bull run and how his thesis has remained consistent since 2011​​How the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs marks a significant milestone Why criticisms of the crypto space are really criticisms of money in general The fundamental differences between Web3 applications and the Web2 ecosystem and why they matterThe importance of fair token distribution in enhancing the value of Web3 projectsWhen Olaf expects Bitcoin to replace legacy financial systemsThe areas and technologies Olaf and his fund are keen to invest inWhy Olaf thinks a modular blockchain architecture is superior to a monolithic one in the long termHow EigenLayer is innovating to enable new types of applications and whether it competes with CelestiaHow Polychain managed to avoid being hurt by the major market blowups of 2022, including Terra and FTXThe evolution of the space from an ideologically driven to a more pragmatic approachThe significance of incentive design in crypto ecosystems and the trade-offs involved in system designOlaf's perspective on the recent rise of points systemsThe growth of privacy-focused crypto projects and the potential for private blockchains to become the normWhy he thinks Worldcoin's distribution strategy is a “disaster”Olaf's interest in the intersection of AI and crypto and potential developments in this areaHis bullish outlook on SocialFi and Web3 gamingThank you to our sponsors!

Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in January 2021.You wake up in a mysterious box, and hear the booming voice of God: “I just flipped a coin. If it came up heads, I made ten boxes, labeled 1 through 10 — each of which has a human in it. If it came up tails, I made ten billion boxes, labeled 1 through 10 billion — also with one human in each box. To get into heaven, you have to answer this correctly: Which way did the coin land?”You think briefly, and decide you should bet your eternal soul on tails. The fact that you woke up at all seems like pretty good evidence that you're in the big world — if the coin landed tails, way more people should be having an experience just like yours.But then you get up, walk outside, and look at the number on your box.‘3'. Huh. Now you don't know what to believe.If God made 10 billion boxes, surely it's much more likely that you would have seen a number like 7,346,678,928?In today's interview, Ajeya Cotra — a senior research analyst at Open Philanthropy — explains why this thought experiment from the niche of philosophy known as ‘anthropic reasoning' could be relevant for figuring out where we should direct our charitable giving.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.Some thinkers both inside and outside Open Philanthropy believe that philanthropic giving should be guided by ‘longtermism' — the idea that we can do the most good if we focus primarily on the impact our actions will have on the long-term future.Ajeya thinks that for that notion to make sense, there needs to be a good chance we can settle other planets and solar systems and build a society that's both very large relative to what's possible on Earth and, by virtue of being so spread out, able to protect itself from extinction for a very long time.But imagine that humanity has two possible futures ahead of it: Either we're going to have a huge future like that, in which trillions of people ultimately exist, or we're going to wipe ourselves out quite soon, thereby ensuring that only around 100 billion people ever get to live.If there are eventually going to be 1,000 trillion humans, what should we think of the fact that we seemingly find ourselves so early in history? Being among the first 100 billion humans, as we are, is equivalent to walking outside and seeing a three on your box. Suspicious! If the future will have many trillions of people, the odds of us appearing so strangely early are very low indeed.If we accept the analogy, maybe we can be confident that humanity is at a high risk of extinction based on this so-called ‘doomsday argument‘ alone.If that's true, maybe we should put more of our resources into avoiding apparent extinction threats like nuclear war and pandemics. But on the other hand, maybe the argument shows we're incredibly unlikely to achieve a long and stable future no matter what we do, and we should forget the long term and just focus on the here and now instead.There are many critics of this theoretical ‘doomsday argument', and it may be the case that it logically doesn't work. This is why Ajeya spent time investigating it, with the goal of ultimately making better philanthropic grants.In this conversation, Ajeya and Rob discuss both the doomsday argument and the challenge Open Phil faces striking a balance between taking big ideas seriously, and not going all in on philosophical arguments that may turn out to be barking up the wrong tree entirely.They also discuss:Which worldviews Open Phil finds most plausible, and how it balances themWhich worldviews Ajeya doesn't embrace but almost doesHow hard it is to get to other solar systemsThe famous ‘simulation argument'When transformative AI might actually arriveThe biggest challenges involved in working on big research reportsWhat it's like working at Open PhilAnd much moreProducer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Ben CordellTranscriptions: Sofia Davis-Fogel
