The Start Smart podcast has a simple premise: The best way to succeed in talent acquisition is to begin by using the latest data to pinpoint the characteristics that matter in the workforce. So, what's the key data point for today's recruiters? It's that Millennials are now the largest single cohort in the workforce. They make up more than one-third – 35 per cent, in fact – of all workers, and by 2030, just six years from now, they will comprise 75 per cent of the working population. Said another way, the policies, processes, practices and technology employers have used to recruit what used to be the largest workforce cohort – Boomers – must now be reconfigured for Millennials and GenZs.In this episode of Start Smart, I am joined by Heather Tenuto, CEO of TheMuse.com and FairyGodBoss.com, two linked sites that focus on serving next-gen professionals and the employers that are actively recruiting them. We cover a broad range of social, cultural and workforce topics and hone in on why TheMuse has positioned itself as “the first values-based career platform” for net-gen workers and how employers can use “authentic employer brand storytelling” to connect with them. It's a fascinating conversation, so listen in.

Why do shoppers buy or NOT buy your product on the Amazon marketplace? Most FBA sellers have some ideas, but they don't really know.Truth is, most shoppers aren't even sure why themselves!There is so much information being processed subconsciously that if you as a seller don't understand it, you'll miss out on thousands per month in sales.This presentation was originally given by myself (Danny Carlson) at White Label Expo London 2022, and I've recorded a higher quality version for all of you in internet land which you can check out! What we'll coverHow to capture the attention of Amazon shoppers so you can sell products  How to KEEP that attention until they complete purchase Actionable steps you can take to improve sales on your product listingsWhy do Amazon Shoppers Buy? (or not)It's important to get inside the mind of your customers so you can optimize your Amazon listings to sell more effectively.They don't necessarily know WHY they buy. It's based on subconscious thoughts. They often buy on gut feelingProcessing dozens of data points subconsciously There are different types of shoppers that make buying decisions differentlyProduct expert vs. naiveReaders vs. VisualInsta-buy vs. compare to the death Don't exclude any of these customer types. Have great images, copywriting, videos, etc to cover them all.Visuals are Processed 60,000 x Faster in the Brain Than TextImages are the most important part of your Amazon listing optimization.It takes your brain just 13 milliseconds to process 1 img2 seconds of viewing an image is equivalent to reading 30,000 wpmMy reading speed is 400 wpm…You can SHOW an incredible amount of information much faster than you can explain it using text or audio. The Brain Evolved with Images, Language is NewWritten language is only 5000 years old. The brain is not naturally evolved to use language.You have to learn it for years as a child before you're good at it, but visuals are understood by toddlers.Visuals are understood across languagesConclusion: Show all key product info just within the images But don't exclude the readers!How to capture the attention of more Amazon shoppersIt doesn't matter how good your product page is if no one clicks on it. You are selling the click, not the product Increasing Click Through Rate by just 0.1% can translate to $1000s Be the best option relative to the competitionMain Image Optimization for Amazon ProductsYour main image on Amazon is your visual first impression, and the better it is, the more shoppers will click on your product instead of competitors. Clearly communicate what the product is. Ask “how can I make it visually obvious?”Strikingly stand out when put next to other options on search resultsFollow Amazon's image guidelines (optional)Very bright, professional studio lightingFill the maximum amount of given spaceTitle Optimization on Amazon ListingsYour title on Amazon is also important to your click-through rate, but should also be well optimized for the right search terms.Clearly communicate the most key info about your productHave your main keyword phrases in exact match, but not at the expense of making key info difficult to find within a messy titleReviews and Price: Do They Matter?They definitely do! I won't go into that here because as Amazon sellers, we have less control over these than we do on the images and keywords for example.Just keep in mind that the more reviews, the better, and the better your price is compared to other options, the better.How to KEEP Customer Attention Until They BuyOtherwise known as “conversion rate.” The higher the percentage of shoppers that view your product page and end up buying, the higher it will be.You as a brand owner have a skewed view of what's cool about your product (No one cares your water bottle can also be a paperweight.) Don't waste attention spans on anything that's not the key info that will give them the confidence your product is the one right for themUse all the tools available: A+ Content description, Amazon listing video, Amazon Brand Storefront, Amazon product photographyInstead of having all white background images with a bunch of text, how can you SHOW this information without words? IconsLifestyle imagesMake them intentional and focused on showing Key InfoKey TakeawaysJust one of these things can increase sales permanently Every time you shop on Amazon, analyze your own thoughts Know your customer better than they know themselves

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! This August, I'm delighted to bring you several of our top "listener favorites" episodes from the past year of shows. Today's episode originally aired on April 23rd, 2020. Hope you enjoy them! “I do want us to think bigger, and the whole mindset of “the best thing” is living each day to the max because we woke up and because we are here. Indeed, if I am here today, I truly do believe the best thing is ahead of me. - Antonio Neves Today, I'm sharing an exploration with you of my own belief, and my guest's as well, that the best thing to ever happen to you continues to be ahead of you, not behind you. Back in 2016, my Finding Brave guest reached a point where even though the internet, social media, and his resume said he was “successful,” he was in a deep funk in his personal and business life. In this episode, he reveals how he set out to course correct and to ensure that his best days were always going to be ahead and not behind him. Antonio Neves teaches powerful principles and actionable strategies to ensure that how you live your life every day, and the mindsets and behaviors you embrace, will leverage all that you've experienced and learned, and set you up to continue to thrive at your highest level. Antonio is the author of four books including, Stop Living On Autopilot: Take Responsibility for Your Life and Rediscover a Bolder, Happier You. On his podcast The Best Thing, Antonio talks with leaders about the “best thing” to happen to them that would never appear on a resume. Antonio's speaking audiences over the years have included: Google, Amazon, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Visa, Stanford University and scores more. For over 10 years, Antonio worked as a correspondent in New York City with top television networks including NBC, PBS and BET Networks. Antonio has been featured on the TODAY Show and his advice and opinions regularly appear in Inc.com, Thrive Global, TheMuse.com, and more. As Antonio shares, you do indeed have a say in your life, but you must take full responsibility for where you are today. If you focus on being of service to others, and don't overly attach to specific outcomes and remember to reach out and not do it alone, you can accomplish anything of significance that you put your mind to.

Are you ready for a Challenge? Join me LIVE with other CEO's, Founders, and Revenue Leaders from July 26th-30th at the Referrals for Revenue Challenge: https://www.referralsforrevenuechallenge.com/goHave you ever learned something in your career the hard way? Often, we only realize the value of lessons much later when we have gained a lot more experience. Today's guest, Sam Jacobs, learned about humility only after quitting his job in investment banking to start a record label that failed abysmally. He also learned some vital lessons after getting fired multiple times from several different companies over the last decade. Sam has had a huge diversity of experiences. He is the Founder and CEO of Pavilion, the premier community and premier development platform for high-growth leaders and their teams at every function.After grinding for a long time, Sam started Revenue Collective as a group therapy session and community for his friends and peers so that they could support each other, help one another find jobs, and get better at their jobs. He started the community as a group in New York. They got together every quarter to talk about their problems and challenges over some drinks or a meal. People from all over the world started hearing about it. They began reaching out to Sam to start new chapters. So they got some other chapter heads in London, Toronto, Boston, and Amsterdam, and they also added Indianapolis, Denver, and Atlanta. Revenue Collective started charging dues at the start of 2018. Sam was still working then, so it was a side-hustle for him. After getting fired from his job a few months later, he decided to do it full-time. He figured that if he got 2000 paying members, he could survive in New York. It was a huge success, and they rebranded to become Pavilion. The mission of the company is about helping each person get where they want to go in their life through their work. Pavilion was profitable, and Sam was not planning on raising any money. However, he got an email from Elephant Ventures, offering him $25,000,000. So he took the money and used it to build his company to where it is today.  Getting fired sucks for many reasons, regardless of how much you get paid for severance. Despite making a lot of money at Gerson Lehrman Group, Sam was not happy there. He went through a divorce at the same time as he got fired from GLG, so he lost a lot of money, and his income also dropped drastically. That was the start of a radical transformation for Sam.Sam went to work for Axial in their very early stage. After getting fired, he went to Livestream. He left there to join TheMuse.Com as their CRO and, after seven months, was asked to leave. They felt he was not a good fit for their culture because he was too hard. He then moved onto Behavox but got asked to leave because he was too lenient. Getting fired at the executive level is not quite as crazy as getting fired as an account executive. At the executive level, you get fired as an individual contributor because you did not hit your number. If you get fired as a C-Suite executive, however, it is probably because your vision does not align with what the CEO wants to do, and ultimately, you are in service of the CEO's vision.Although he is introverted, Sam loves to help people. Since starting Revenue Collective in 2016, Sam has been sincerely looking for ways to help his friends and the broader community. Sam loves hearing about people who work hard, want to be better, do things the right way, and succeed. He recently did a workshop for their Rising Executives Program and realized that 5 of those who joined their January class have already been promoted to VP.Getting fired from The Muse was a turning point in Sam's life. That was when he decided to stop relying on other people and start charging dues for Revenue Collective. He also decided to try for sponsorship, so he asked Kevin O'Malley of SalesLoft for $10,000 to put together a dinner for him in New York each quarter. Kevin agreed, and Sam started charging dues of $50 per month. 19 of the 21 members paid their dues. Sam kept on moving forward, and more people wanted to join his collective.To build a successful company, you need to find a technical person to build a product. Unfortunately, finding engineers is the hardest part of building a company because most engineers want to work for other smart engineers. That is why you need to have a product-driven founder. Before, Sam never gave himself the right to believe that his community could get big and never allowed himself to dream. Covid was an inflection point because everything became digital, and many networking businesses failed to adapt and went out of business. They adapted very quickly, however, and grew 5x during Covid.Over the past few months, Sam finally let himself believe that the thing he was doing could be huge. A paid membership model is a more elegant way to do things because it forces people to commit, and they can be your customer. Sam built Pavilion, which is worth $100,000,000, using other people's tools. That makes him wonder if we could be moving to a world where engineering talent is no longer the prerequisite that it used to be to build a valuable company. Quantifying his values and writing down what he believed internally for his company (then Revenue Collective) was extremely powerful for Sam. In 2018, he decided that if his company grew to 1000 people, he would stay close to the reasons he started in the first place, keep on checking in with those values, and be as helpful and useful to the membership as possible.You don't need to be a genius with B2B. You only need to listen to your customers. They will tell you what they want, so keep your mouth shut and listen. One of Pavilion's values is: Listen closely. Act quickly.All Sam thinks about is what people need.During Covid, Sam decided to start an exclusive community that people could only join if they were out of work. It was to help people find jobs and provide group therapy for those who could not. He called it On the Bench, and there are currently 200 people in the program. Sam had no master plan. He just tried to do the next right thing.There are 3 jobs for the CEO:Never run out of moneyRecruit or build a teamSet the visionYou need to delegate effectively. Sam is lazy, which is good because he delegates.Delegating helps you scale. If you set clear direction and clear values, you can grow.Telling people to go and figure things out is good for creating their self-reliance. It can also be difficult because sometimes it is better to have someone else help you figure things out.The top sales and marketing levers that Sam pulled to get the growth he did from a bootstrap perspective for Revenue Collective were:He created brand affinity by explicitly encouraging people to put Revenue Collective on their LinkedIn profiles. Initially, 50% of the community did it. Now, 82% of the community does it.He created a multi-level marketing component to Revenue Collective because he shares the money from the dues with people for the work they do for the platform. Some of the members tied their brands to Revenue Collective because they benefited personally from a financial incentive for doing that.He does unscalable things that lead to scale, like coaching calls, to show customers that he cares. Sam feels that people are overly obsessed with ‘scale' on the margin.Venture capital is good if you have a strong product-market fit and a strong go-to-market fit. The limiting factor in your growth is just money, so if you have something that lots of people love, get it into as many hands as possible, and cement your competitive advantage, venture capital can be very powerful.  Venture capital is a bad thing if you misdefine what you perceive to be your exceptionalism, and as a consequence, you take on a lot of money, obligation, and an expectation of growth that you are not ready to deliver on.It could take 18 months to 2 years to work yourself into a position to raise money.Sam cares about a different way of doing business and teaching people that you can split the difference and leave some money on the table. It is okay to do something for someone without asking for anything in return, even if some people take advantage of your generosity. It will all come back to you eventually for what you want to achieve in your life, including making money.There is a different way to live. It is about helping before asking for help, looking to offer advice, and not treating relationships transactionally.Links and resources:Sam Jacobs on LinkedInJoin PavilionEmail Sam Jacobs: sam@joinpavilion.comNeed help scaling your revenue?

Successful leadership requires influence.  Without it, how will you make your mark on your organization and your team?  Influencing is about engaging others in your vision—helping to build a coalition of support for your ideas and goals.  It's about understanding how to embrace your point of view and your power to make a difference in your team and business.  It requires confidence, courage, and a fair amount of finesse.We tend to remember those who made a positive impact on us, who influenced in a helpful or inspiring way.  But influence can be exerted as a form of pressure as well. To be clear let's focus on words (from dictionary.com).·         Pressure:  To force (someone) toward a particular end.·         Manipulate:  To manage or influence skillfully, especially in an unfair manner.·         Influence:  The capacity or power of person or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the action, behaviors, opinions, etc. of others.3 Ways to Appeal (Center for Creative Leadership)Logical, 2. Emotional,  3. CollaborativeLogical:  Using the Head  Appealing to logic means tapping into the rational and intellectual elements of your position.  This strategy requires sound thinking, and a structured approach.Tips:Take time to gather the appropriate facts and dataPrepare a well thought out planPoint out the advantages of your ideas, how risks will be managedSystematically compare other options Be able to articulate the outcome if your approach is not adoptedWeave in information from other authoritative sources Emotional:  Using the Heart  Using the heart means you are promoting feelings to craft your message towards a common vision or goals, appealing to another persons needs and wants as well as your own.Tips:Understand that humans are motivated by pleasure and painTailor  to the needs and values of othersListen to show caring and concernPaint a picture of your solution, engage the senses Tell stories Inspires and builds prideAppeal to common valuesCollaborative:  Using Cooperation  Collaboration relies on the process of working together to accomplish a mutually important goal.  This approach is founded on the premise that we value being asked for our opinions, to have a stake in our future.Tips:Start by  articulating goals and expected outcomesExplain what is negotiable, what is notShare ideas in an engaging and interesting mannerGet people's concerns and values out in the openEngage others who can influence on your behalf Be willing to adapt your ideas Use liberal (sincere) praise and reinforcementSummaryLong-TermStrengthen connectionsBe credible, do your homework, know your subject and audienceMaintain high integrityPeople tend to be influenced most by those that are “likeable”  Demonstrate warmth and likeability Short-TermUse a planful approach: your goal & why it's importantUncover your challenges and how you will mitigate themKnow your stakeholders:  their point of view, the most effective strategy to appeal to themUse excellent communication skillsKnow how to receive a “no”Be more influential in 12 short weeks: https://www.intentionaleaderscourses.com/confident-leader

Women are still behind the eight-ball when it comes to earnings in the workplace. One reason is that women are historically not savvy about salary negotiation. Listen to this podcast and learn to win at work and earn what you are worth. In order to get paid what you deserve you have to know how to articulate your contributions to the bottom line. A few preliminary thoughts: Some people make the mistake of giving personal reasons when asking for a raise (I want to buy a house, I need to buy a car, etc.) The best chance at getting a raise will occur when you can put a dollar value on your contributions. Most businesses are primarily concerned with their bottom line, so you need to make your pitch based on those metrics. Some Key Take-aways: Do your research before meeting with your supervisor (the hiring manager) about a raise. Have some awareness what others are being paid for the work you do. Be prepared to toot your own horn and remind management of your contributions. Sometimes compensation might come in the form of a title change, additional benefits, or other non-monetary raise – or perhaps a combination of money and benefits.

Today's show is an audience feedback show. It is the age of distraction, and in moments like this with one another - we can tune it out. And accordingly, we can tune in to ourselves and take a moment to be quiet and think... ...think about things such as:What is it that makes us want to do the thing we don't want to do?What makes us want to continue down the path we don't want to walk?Why do we do things against our own goals? Today we're thinking and talking about self sabotage. Self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do. This quote if from the very first article pulled up on a DDG search for "self-sabotage"The article by Healthline was titled: "How Self-Sabotage Holds You Back"https://www.healthline.com/health/self-sabotageKey Points in Article:Blaming others when things go wrongChoosing to walk away when things don’t go smoothlyProcrastinationPicking fights with friends or partners Passive Aggression Dating people who aren’t right for youTrouble stating your needsPutting yourself down Negative Self Talk What causes it? Patterns learned in childhood Past relationship dynamics Fear of failure A need for control Tips for overcoming it Identify the behaviors Learn what sets you off Practice getting comfortable with failure Talk about it Identify what you really want When to seek help It’s not always easy to recognize and stop some self-sabotaging behaviors, especially patterns you’ve followed for years, on your own. If your efforts to try different behaviors and responses haven’t worked, or only work for a while, therapy may be a good option. There’s no shame in needing professional support. The bottom line Self-sabotaging behaviors are often deeply ingrained and hard to recognize. And once you do recognize them, noticing how you hold yourself back can be hard to come to terms with. But keep in mind that by recognizing these behaviors, you’ve taken the first step toward changing them. And you don’t have to do it alone. Friends, loved ones, and trained therapists can all offer support. Much of this process is not adding to the to do list As much of it or more is removing from the to do list We need to learn how to begin functioning at our highest level Set goalsLive by themUse the best self journalFirm believer in it Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?

Relationships are complicated, no matter what kind of relationship you are in–whether it's with your partner, your family, your friends, or your co-workers. The biggest issues that arise within relationships stem from our attachment to needing others to validate us and make us feel whole, our inability to communicate what we are feeling and holding onto attachment, and struggling to stay deeply connected in a society that is built to pull us apart.  In this episode of the Align Podcast, I'm joined by the beautiful and dynamic couple, Miki Agrawal and Andrew Horn, who share insight into navigating through these issues and how they personally keep their relationship alive, happy, and healthy. This episode is somewhat of a couples counseling session that Andrew guides us through and I'm simply just a fly on the wall.  Miki is a social entrepreneur who uses creativity and disruptive innovation to challenge the status quo and change culture. She is the founder of several acclaimed social enterprises: WILD, THINX & TUSHY (collectively valued at over $200 million). Andrew Horn is a also serial social entrepreneur, speaker and writer based in Brooklyn, NY who is a frequent contributor to media outlets like MindBodyGreen, HuffPo and TheMuse. He focuses his writing on “The Art of Meaningful Conversation” – How to overcome anxiety, ask better questions and connect with anyone.

Career coach and host of the Your Career Story podcast, Jena Viviano is not only sharing how her career went from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to coaching 6 figure women in their careers, but why LinkedIn is a best kept secret. en on their corporate careers. Jena is going to change the way you not only look at, but the way you utilize LinkedIn and turn it into your favorite networking tool. She helps others discover what they love to do in their careers and how making quarter turns is sometimes all it takes to land your dream job, along with how gaining clarity is your best investment. You are going to discover the best LinkedIn tips and tools that will boost your business and your career!  It’s time to grow your network!  What we’re talking about Jena’s Career Story To Becoming A Career Coach How Entrepreneurs Should Use LinkedIn A Career Coach For Your Corporate Career Jena’s Career Story To Becoming A Career Coach Jena’s career story starts like a lot of ours with a college major that she later discovered wasn’t right for her. After working in investment banking on Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, Jena was given the opportunity to explore other positions, such as marketing, PR, and video recording from the live floor. By trying other tasks, she was able to discover what she was good at and what she enjoyed doing. Jena then went to work for the start-up company, TheMuse.com, a career advice site and discover even more job opportunities. By taking these “quarter turns” in her career, Jena was able to find clarity in her career and became a career coach at the age of 25. She started out by helping people revamp their resumes and realized she was good at making career pivots and helping others make them.  How Entrepreneurs Should Use LinkedIn LinkedIn isn’t simply a job search platform and is one of the best kept social media and thought leadership tools out there! Jena shares how she realized her clientele were on LinkedIn, looking for her services, and how LinkedIn allows you to be a thought leader in your space while also accessing corporate partners. LinkedIn gives you the opportunity to physically connect with your ideal clients instead of simply creating content in the hopes of attracting them. Companies are hiring you and your brand which is why a personal profile versus a business profile is key.  If you’re an entrepreneur and recognize your ideal clients are on LinkedIn, then you should be posting at a minimum once week, but to aim for 1-2 times per day. Jena suggests creating posts with a call to action, story-telling content with teaching moments, community building posts that allow people to connect with one another, and quick tips. When you create great content that gains traction, it’ll show up not only in your feed, but in the feeds of those who comment and like your post as well.  Lastly, be sure to connect with others and write customized messages in your DMs. LinkedIn is NOT like Facebook in the sense that you aren’t trying to friend people. You are looking for network connections, so get out there and link in with your ideal clients! A Career Coach For Your Corporate Career Jena’s career coaching clients all encompass an entrepreneurial spirit and most are on a dual track process which incorporates their corporate job and a side hustle. The 3 things Jena helps her clients uncover are: 1) What is it you want?, 2) Where are you thriving, and 3) How do you take a quarter turn closer to that? She shares how side hustles allow us to not have pressure to perform at higher levels because they aren’t our sole income. Having a side hustle allows you to scale at a rapid pace when you decide to take it full time because you’ve already gained the clarity you need and know what you love to do and what you don’t. A career coach gives you a 30,000 foot view from an outside perspective to look at your career as a whole and discern where you’ve been. Clarity is one of the best returns on investment you can get!

The rules of work have changed over the last several years. You need to stay up to date on what's relevant so you aren't left behind and miss the next career opportunity. We were surprise when we went back and listened to this episode from 2017, when Joe sat down with Kathryn Minshew & Alex Cavoulacos, founders of TheMuse.com, to review what were then the new rules of business. Clearly, many still don't understand these. We find that these rules are just as relevant today as they were a few years ago, so we decided it was time to roll this episode again. Here is our original show description: Struggling at work? We'll review some of the "new rules" of business with the founders of TheMuse.com, Kathryn Minshew and Alex Cavoulacos. We'll talk about new rules in networking, finding the career you love, and working more effectively at the job you love. In our headline segment, Brian Barnes, CEO of M1Finance drops by to talk about tax planning. We know tax day was yesterday but these tips will help you make tax-smart moves while investing for the future. We'll also talk about another company being sued by an employee for rotten 401k options. Target date funds are again in the middle of some more controversy. Gena calls the Haven Life line to ask about the American Opportunity Credit, we share good news about recent guest Adam Dell and the Clarity app, and answer a letter from Ben about emerging markets investing. Is active investing the best way to go in smaller, more volatile markets? Of course, Doug brings down the trivia, and much, much more.

In 2019, over 58% of people will be looking for new jobs. In this episode of Career Talk, Dr. Dawn interviews Kathryn Minshew of themuse.com who shares research on what next gen employees value most (hint: it's NOT money), why your company reputation matters, and the lasting impact of the candidate experience.

In this episode we talk about a blog that we stumbled upon when we were preparing this podcast. The blog is called TheMuse and the link is https://www.themuse.com/advice/7-ways-to-become-your-boss-dream-employee. I found that these 7 ideas tie into the meditation of the day. If we work as if we were the boss and made decisions on that premise one day we may be the boss. If you are a business owner, what kind of employee would you want? How many success stories are out there of people that started to work for a company to later own that same company?

There is a structure or blueprint to being a successful person but there is no perfect formula. The design differs for everyone, as guest expert Don Hutcheson explains. It is necessary to dig into who you are and what you are supposed to be doing before attempting to be successful at any one thing. The first quality all successful people have in common is they take full responsibility for their own self-knowledge and self-awareness, and they avoid mindless conformity. If you start with a solid base of knowing who you are on the inside, you eliminate the guessing which leads to reactions and unsatisfactory career choices. Other things successful people have in common is they are all on a lifelong journey of learning, and they surround themselves with like-minded people. They read educational resources about how to use their individual talents and how to strengthen their emotional intelligence. People go through what Don calls “turning points” every 6 or 7 years. If they have a continuous mindset to keep getting better, these turning points will enhance their already honed abilities. To be successful: Do research about yourself and your abilities Set goals for yourself Surround yourself with the right people Accept failure and learn from it Be disciplined Trust your instincts Make strategic decisions, not knee-jerk reactions Don’t be miserable Journal about your experiences Seek out people who have the same values! Book Resources from Don: What Should I Do With My Life? by Po Bronson What Color Is Your Parachute? by Dick Bolles Don’t Waste Your Talents by Don Hutcheson & Dr. Bob McDonald Don Hutcheson Bio Don Hutcheson is a lifelong entrepreneur, inventor, author and coach. He hosts the daily podcast, Discover Your Talent — Do What You Love and has interviewed over 350 successful people. By the end of 2016, he will be offering membership groups and courses, which will include experts on topics such as emotional intelligence, salary negotiations and exposing natural abilities.  Don has never had a boss. Instead, he has created six companies in advertising, publishing, coaching and career planning over the last 40 years. Ben’s Job Search Resources: Ben shares the blog post How to Tell People What You Do—and Be Remembered by Alexandra Franzen on TheMuse.com. The post is about how you can communicate what you do in simple terms, which begins with the Maya Angelou quote “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Today we have our first-ever episode on Insure-tech. Happily, it also turned out to be one of the most fun, funny and thought-provoking shows we've ever done. I'm pretty sure it's the first one where we've talked about the internet of things, and CRISPR gene research, transportation as a service, and drones. My fascinating guest is Caribou Honig, founding partner of QED Investors. QED is a venture fund cofounded by Caribou, Frank Rotman, and Nigel Morris, who first came together in the early days of Capital One. They have helped launch some great fintech companies - for instance LendUp and DriveFactor. Caribou's investments span an array of marketing, payments, and insurance technology companies, particularly where B2C customer acquisition drives the business success. He developed a passion for data-driven marketing when he led key marketing initiatives at Capital One, including responsibility for a $50 mm marketing budget, managing a 200-person underwriting operation, and cracking the code on digital credit card originations. Recent investments led by Caribou include, Remitly, TheMuse, and KNIP.  He also serves on the Advisory Council for the CFSI Financial Solutions Lab. As you'll hear in our conversation, moreover, he's a Renaissance man. He holds a bachelor's degree in Physics and Philosophy from Harvard University, an MBA from the Darden School of Business, and a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law. He and his wife have two children and, what he describes as two occasionally annoying dogs. Over the years He's taken time off to be Mr. Mom and to listen to the universe, as he puts it. And of course, he has an interesting name, which he'll explain in our discussion. I reached out to Caribou because I knew he was working in Insure-Tech, which has been on a slower track than other kinds of fintech but is starting to gain real traction. Caribou is Chairman of the InsureTech Connect, a new conference that's scheduled for October 5-6 in Las Vegas. I found our conversation incredibly interesting, especially in how insurance is being transformed by types of technology that have nothing to do with finance -- because its product is usually about managing risks in the physical world ranging from health to roofing materials to self-driving cars. As it turned out, about half of our talk is on insurance, and half is on his broader thoughts oninnovation, and also on regulation. He really sparked my own thinking on some of the tough regulatory issues, like how to resolve the conflicts between alternative data and fair lending disparate impact, and the pros and cons of state-based regulation, and his advice to regulators. Plus I'm stilling thinking about "parametric insurance" - skipping the adjudication process and agreeing in advance to let outside parameters - big data - determine the appropriate claim. New ideas, everywhere! Finally, for all you innovators in the audience, note that Caribou shares an open invitation to bring him interesting ideas.  I know you'll enjoy hearing him.   Vote for my SXSW Panel! Also, remember to vote to help get my Regulation Innovation panel selected for SXSW 2017 - it's at http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/67829. My panelists will be Simple's Josh Reich, Adrienne Harris of the White House, and CFSI's CEO, Jennifer Tescher. We need your vote - voting is only open to  September 2.

This is probably not news to you, but it's hard to be a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry. On this week's episode, we sit down with two women who have been there, done that, and not just survived, but also excelled. Bea Arthur, the founder and CEO of InYourCornerOnline.com, shares what it was like to launch a startup as a woman of color, and NYSCF CEO and co-founder, Susan Solomon gives us her take on women in the science and tech fields, as well as the importance of finding a sponsor. Susan Solomon is a huge fan of Valentina Fosssati, who is leading the MS group at her laboratory. Bea Arthur is all about Bella Acton of Never Liked it Anyway, Kathryn Minshew and Alex Cavoulacos of TheMuse.com, and Sarah Kuntz of ProDay.
