Tony Hsieh visits Google to discuss his book "Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose." Back in 1999, Tony Hsieh sold LinkExchange, the company he co-founded, to Microsoft for $265 million. He then joined Zappos as an adviser and investor, and eventually became CEO. In 2009, Zappos was listed as one of Fortune magazine's top 25 companies to work for, and was acquired by Amazon later that year in a deal valued at over $1.2 billion on the day of closing. In his book, Tony shares the different business lessons he learned in life, from operating a lemonade stand and a pizza business through LinkExchange, Zappos, and more. He shows how using happiness as a framework can produce profits, passion, and purpose – both in business and in life. Originally published in July of 2010.

In hindsight, he observes that Amazon Prime's exponential growth was actually an incremental daily process.“I used to say things like, ‘If God was running this plant, whoever is your God ... they can't violate physical laws. How well would they do?' And then we know where we are,” Jeff says.“If we're perfect in it, compounding over all this time, we're going to get there.

On this edition of culture content with Jay Doran, Jay is going over an innovative business strategy known as "Holacracy" or the practice of doing away with job titles in a workplace meant to promote more a team mentality and abolishing hierarchy.  It was notably applied to Zappos by former CEO, the late, great Tony Hsieh in late 2014. During this discussion, Jay gives his thoughts on the concept as a whole, some of the positives and negatives of the system, and how it might affect businesses of different sizes.  We haven't touched too much on business theory on this show, so we hope you enjoy dipping your toes in those waters on this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Frank Greef identifies the hardest part of growing a small business as dealing with the "unknown unknowns." These are the unpredictable challenges that lie beneath the surface—issues you can't foresee that bring unexpected mental and emotional demands. He describes these surprises as the “iceberg below” that can catch business owners off-guard, emphasizing how they can create stress and roadblocks. This focus on the hidden challenges highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in business growth. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Frank Greef's favorite business books include The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone for mindset, Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson for innovation, and Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh for customer experience, each shaping his approach to growth and impact. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Frank Greef recommends The Diary of a CEO for its insightful conversations, though he notes its recent shift in focus. For business-specific advice, he highlights Alex Hormozi's Acquisition.com, where Hormozi shares actionable strategies for scaling from zero to multi-million-dollar revenues. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Frank Greef suggests that the best tool is self-learning paired with accountability. Instead of just consuming information, he emphasizes implementing what you learn immediately, testing its impact, and adapting as needed—turning knowledge into actionable growth for your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Frank Greef's advice to his day-one self in business would be, “You've got this, little buddy!” Acknowledging the journey as a challenging yet rewarding roller coaster, he emphasizes resilience and faith in one's ability to overcome the unknowns that lie ahead.

Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our journey through the alphabet of principles that lead to greater certainty in our lives and businesses, I've decided on “K is for Kindness.” Often overlooked in business, kindness is a powerful tool that can help build trust, loyalty, and stability—essential pillars of certainty. Leading with kindness may seem unconventional, but it forges relationships that last, creating environments where people feel valued and motivated to give their best. In this episode, we'll explore how kindness functions as “compassion in action.” We'll share examples like Patagonia and Southwest Airlines, where kindness has led to stronger customer loyalty, company stability, and growth. These companies understand that treating people well—whether employees or customers—builds a sense of certainty that fuels long-term success. Kindness in leadership also creates a culture of trust, where innovation and collaboration thrive. Leaders like Tony Hsieh of Zappos built a legacy on this foundation, creating brands known for exceptional customer care and employee loyalty. Kindness fosters creativity, and when people feel valued, they're more willing to invest their time and ideas. We'll also touch on the importance of everyday acts of kindness. It's not just grand gestures that matter but the consistent, small actions that build trust and reinforce our own sense of purpose. Kindness aligns us with our values, fostering certainty not only in others but within ourselves. In closing, kindness is far more than a feel-good concept—it's a strategic approach that invites kismet, aligning us with opportunities we might not foresee. When we lead with kindness, we set a foundation of certainty that supports both our personal growth and professional success.

“The main lesson I've learned is to distinguish what's like the E=mc² of culture—simplifying something extremely complex. And what I see is that the simplification of culture rides on trust, but the currency of trust is really in agreements,” Robert Richman shares as he reflects on his research while writing his book The Culture Blueprint: A Guide to Building the High-Performance Workplace.   As a former employee of Zappos, Robert shares insights into the company's renowned culture under Tony Hsieh, where trust was built through clear agreements and a commitment to values. He introduces the concept of “culture hacking,” which refers to small but powerful changes that can significantly transform a workplace. How can businesses adopt this mindset to make meaningful improvements? Drawing from Zappos' success, Robert points out the importance of hiring for values rather than just skills, and how a thoughtful onboarding process creates accountability and commitment. Is culture really just a luxury in challenging times, or is it essential to long-term success? Robert argues that by building explicit agreements and continuously gathering employee feedback, companies can create cultures that stand the test of time.   Quotes “The main lesson I've learned is to distinguish what's like the E=mc² of culture—simplifying something extremely complex. And what I see is that the simplification of culture rides on trust, but the currency of trust is really in agreements.” (07:02 | Robert Richman) “So how clear are our agreements and are agreements upheld? You don't just say, ‘Yeah, I agree to uphold the values.' You literally sign a contract and you swear an oath to uphold them. So that's a very, very clear agreement. Most companies' cultures suffer because they don't articulate the agreements well, and don't get an opt in for those agreements, and then hold people accountable to those agreements. I think that, especially with corporate culture, that's really the currency of a great culture.” (07:24 | Robert Richman)  “I think what most companies need, and are missing, is some sort of Director of Communication, because that's where culture lies. It's all in the communication—how you're relating these things, how you're sharing them, and how you're getting the message out. So I'm less about having a Head of Culture, because I believe the CEO really needs to own that role as the head of culture.” (21:28 | Robert Richman)  “Engagement is how connected to the task somebody is, how much passion they have for it, how much energy they're putting toward it, right? Whereas empowerment has to do with authority. What level of authority do I really have? That's what people are actually talking about when they mean empower.” (25:03 | Robert Richman)    Links Connect with Robert Richman: Website: https://robertrichman.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Today I'm sharing an episode from the vaults of the Dr. Patty Ann Podcast. It's a topic most people don't believe is possible... Happiness at work. Yes you can be happy at work and it should be a driver! Jenn Lim is the CEO of Delivering Happiness, a company she co-founded with Tony Hsieh (the late CEO of Zappos.com) to create happier workplace cultures. Her best-selling book "Delivering Happiness" is a New York Times and WSJ Bestseller which sold one million copies worldwide. In this conversation, you'll learn:

¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? - Sergio De Miguel¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? Esta pregunta parte de un atrevido manifiesto de nuestro invitado a este episodio, el coach español Sergio de Miguel ¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? (Una historia real parece contradecirlo)Un joven emprendedor llamado Tony Hsieh construyó la "empresa más feliz del mundo" a partir de una pregunta:“¿Qué pasaría si las ganancias y la felicidad del negocio fueron impulsadas por una reinvención radical del lugar de trabajo? Sin jefes, sin títulos, solo creatividad, igualdad y pura alegría.”¿Era una utopía? Tal vez. Pero esa fue la idea de Tony Hsieh, un visionario que creo una tienda minorista de zaptos en línea: Zappos.  Hsieh nació en Illinois, EE.UU., en 1973, en una familia de inmigrantes taiwaneses. Luego de graduarse en Harvard en 1995, Hsieh cofundó una empresa de software llamada LinkExchange. En menos de dos años, la vendió a Microsoft por US$265 millones. A los 24 años, Hsieh había alcanzado su sueño de la infancia. Pero no había vendido la empresa solo por el dinero. Esto dijo en su momento "Lo que mucha gente no sabe es la verdadera razón por la que vendimos la empresa. La verdadera razón era simplemente que ya no era un lugar divertido para trabajar". A medida que la compañía creció, Hsieh se topó con un problema: ya no tenía más amigos para contratar. Así que publicó anuncios y empleó gente con la experiencia y habilidades adecuadas.Pero un tiempo después, Hsieh vio que esta decisión había sido un grave error. “Cuando traes gente nueva a tu empresa, tienes que introducir jerarquías. Los líderes tienen que imponer sus ideas para asegurarse de que todos estén alineados.”A Hsieh no le gustaba decirle a la gente qué hacer. Le gustaba la idea de que la gente actuara según sus propias creencias, de que se unieran en torno a una visión común.Cuando el empresario se desencantó de su primer emprendimiento, aprendió que solo necesitaba dinero para vivir. Pero También quería ser feliz. Así que se imaginó la empresa más feliz del mundo.¿La no presencia de jefes genera felicidad?- Entonces usó el dinero de la venta de LinkExchange para financiar su siguiente proyecto: Zappos. Hsieh planeaba hacer con los zapatos lo que Amazon estaba haciendo con los libros.Una exempleada de Zappos recuerda:  “me preguntaba cómo era posible que alguien pudiera terminar sus tareas. Era una explosión de brillantina, unicornios, había desfiles constantemente, gente lanzándote caramelos. Si no estabas bailando y cantando, había una especie de buffet para comer todo lo que pudieras".Más allá de la felicidad en sí misma, había una estrategia brillante en acción: un empleado feliz realmente cumple su trabajo. Hsieh solía decir: "Cuando la gente puede ser ella misma, ahí es cuando las verdaderas amistades se forman, no solo las relaciones de colegas. Y es cuando salen las ideas creativas y los empleados son más productivos".La estrategia fue tremendamente exitosa. En ocho años, las ventas de Zappos superaron los US$1.000 millones.  Zappos creó tanto revuelo, que en 2009, Amazon la compró por US$1.200 millones  con la garantía de que el gigante tecnológico no tocaría la cultura de la empresa.Pero mientras la compañía crecía, luchaba con el problema interno de la jerarquía. ¿Cómo los grupos grandes podían hacer las cosas sin jefes dirigiéndolos? Y una vez que empezaras a darles poder a esos jefes, ¿qué pasaría con la felicidad y la creatividad de aquellos obligados a seguir órdenes?Así como muchos científicos sociales, Hsieh veía una relación inversamente proporcional entre jerarquía y felicidad, entre poder desigual y prosperidad. Es por esto que Hsieh intentó llevar a cabo una revolución, que esperaba desafiara las bases de la filosofía administrativa y tal vez la manera en la que los humanos trabajaban juntos.Hsieh pensó que una forma de salvar la felicidad era estrangular las jerarquías. Entonces llegó con un término: Holocracia. Este fue acuñado por Arthur Koestler, autor de "El espíritu en la máquina", y se convirtió en una filosofía administrativa radical gracias al empresario estadounidense Brian Robertson. Es una manera profundamente descentralizada de administrar una compañía. No hay jefes y ni siquiera nombres de cargos. En su lugar, hay círculos, equipos que se autoadministran que desarrollan proyectos. Los empleados eligen en qué círculos trabajar y suelen trabajar en varios.La holocracia es radical, utópica y, hasta 2014, no había sido probada en una compañía del tamaño de Zappos. Pero según Hsieh, era la ruta para la utopía organizacional.¿Funcionó esa utopía de trabajar sin jefes?La holocracia resultó confusa para algunos y también resultó difícil para definir el salario de la gente. Además, en un sistema sin jerarquías, nadie sabía muy bien quién estaba haciendo qué cosa. En 2015, la compañía más feliz del mundo había perdido casi un tercio de su fuerza laboral en un solo año. Muchos se fueron por esa cultura de no tener jefes.Al inicio, pareció ser un éxito. Pero el tiempo mostró que a la gente sí le gustaban las jerarquías. En compañías como Zappos, la ausencia de reglas formales puede esconder una estructura de poder dañina. No hay controles y balances. Barones poderosos pueden buscar satisfacer sus caprichos, con pocos límites. La ironía fue que al buscar la igualdad perfecta, sin querer creó lo opuesto. En 2018, Zappos comenzó a dejar atrás la holocracia silenciosamente. En 2020, un Hsieh cada vez más errático se separó de la compañía. Su sueño había muerto.Al irse de su Zappos, la compañía que fundó, Hsieh empezó a gastar su fortuna en un sistema personal de "holocracia". Invitaba a gente que le caía bien —artistas, escritores o empresarios— y les ofrecía el doble del sueldo más alto que alguna vez hubieran recibido para que vivieran con él en su nuevo rancho en Park City, estado de Utah, Estados Unidos.Además, su consumo de drogas se estaba descontrolando y ninguna de las personas que lo rodeaban y que le decían "sí" a todo estaban preparadas para avisarle. Era el emperador al que sus súbditos no podían decirle que estaba desnudo. En noviembre de 2020, Hsieh murió por inhalación de humo, luego de que se desatara un incendio en un cobertizo de su casa. La puerta estaba cerrada por dentro, aunque no se sabe si intencionalmente o por accidente.Nuestro invitado Sergio de Miguel nos cuenta ¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe?A pesar de esta historia fallida sin jefes, nuestro invitado a este episodio Sergio de Miguel asegura que eventualmente, una empresa podría funcionar sin jefe.Sergio de Miguel es Coach ejecutivo, facilitador de equipos y conferenciante.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold (00:01:30) - Welcome to diary from Ellis Island, New York, to Ellensburg, Washington, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to get Rich education for the 508th consecutive week. Happy July. It's the first day of the quarter, and it's now the second half of the year. So late last year when you got takeaways from our goals episode here, I hope that you're still applying them today. We're doing something different on this show. For most episodes. I divulge a lot of my best guidance. Some even quote that material. But why don't I acknowledge others great quotes maxims in aphorisms along with some of my own? And then I'll tell you what you can learn from them. So yes, today it's about axioms, adages, mantras and quotes, maxims and aphorisms. Some of these you've heard, others you probably haven't.   Keith Weinhold (00:02:28) - The first one is the only place you get money is from other people. Yeah. Isn't that so solidly true? You've never received any money in your life from yourself, unless you try to counterfeit it and give it to yourself. It's always been from other people. When you realize that the only place that you do get money is from others, you realize the value of relationships and connectivity. The next one comes from the brilliant entrepreneurial coach Dan Sullivan. You are 100% disciplined to your set of habits. Gosh, this is a terrific reminder about the importance of how you have to often uncomfortably apply something new in order to up your skill set up your game. If you keep getting distracted, well, then that's a habit, and then you'll soon become disciplined to the habit of distraction. The next two go together, and they're about market investing. Nobody is more bearish than a sold out bull. And the other is bears make headlines. Bulls make money. Really the lesson there is that they're both reminders that it's better to stay invested rather than on the sidelines.   Keith Weinhold (00:03:53) - The next two are related to each other as well. Albert Einstein said, strive not to be a person of success, but rather to be a person of value. And then similarly, a more modern day spin on that. Tony Hsieh, the late CEO of Zappos. He said, Chase the vision, not the money and the money will end up following you. And the lesson here is, well, we'd all like more money, but if you focus on the money first, well then it doesn't want to follow you. You need to provide value and build the vision first, and then the money will follow and you know, to me, it's kind of like getting the girl if you act too interested in her and you get too aggressive, it's a turnoff. But if you quietly demonstrate that you're a person of value, or subtly suggest somehow in a way that their life could be improved by having a relationship with you or being around you, then they're more likely to follow. And yes, I'm fully aware that this is a heterosexual male analogy, and I use it because that is what I am.   Keith Weinhold (00:04:58) - So if you're something else, I'm sure you can follow along with that. The next quote is from Susie Kasam. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Gosh, isn't this so on point? It's about overcoming the fear in just trying. And then if you know that you've lived a life of trying, you're going to have fewer regrets. Thomas Edison yes, the light bulb guy in the co-founder of General Electric, he said the value of an idea lies in the using of it. Oh, yeah, that's a great reminder that knowledge isn't really power. It's knowledge plus action that creates power because an idea that remains idle doesn't do anyone any good. Hey, we're just getting started talking about investing in real estate quotes today here on episode 508 of get Rich education. And, you know, remarkably, these maxims and catchphrases, they're usually just 1 or 2 sentences, but yet they are so often packed with the wisdom such that these takeaways and lessons are like your three favorite ones today. They can change the trajectory of your entire life.   Keith Weinhold (00:06:20) - The next quote is one that I have said carefully bought real estate has the best risk adjusted return in. The world. And I don't need to explain that because we talk about that in some form or another on the show many weeks. Albert Schweitzer said success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you're doing, you will be successful. Yeah, I'd say that one is mostly true. Just mostly, though, there's no attribution here. On this next one, you might have heard the aphorism money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant. Yeah. Now, I've heard that one for a long time, and it took me a while to figure out what it really meant. And here's my take on that. If you make money, the master will. Then you'll, like, do almost anything. You'll trade your time for money. You'll sell your time for dollars instead. If you invest passively and it creates leveraged equity and income streams, oh, then money serves you.   Keith Weinhold (00:07:28) - It's no longer the master. That's what that means to me here in a real estate investor context. And, you know, it really underscores the importance of making money work for you. And is a follow up to last week's show. Whose money are we talking about here? Whose is it? It's focusing on getting other people's money to work for you, not just your own. Now, the next one is a quote that I've said on the show before, quite a while ago, though. And come on now, what would an episode about quotes, maxims and aphorisms be without some contribution from Mark Twain? Here Twain said, why not go out on a limb? That's where the fruit is. that's just so, so good in business and in so many facets of your life, constantly playing it safe is the riskiest thing that you can actually do. Because a risk averse investor places a ceiling on his or her potential in a risk averse person imposes an upper limit on their very legacy. In fact, episode 275 of the get Rich education podcast is named Go Out on Limb precisely because of this Twain quote.   Keith Weinhold (00:08:45) - So listen to that episode if you want to hear a whole lot more about that. It's actually one of Twain's lesser known quotes, but perhaps his best one. The next one comes from famous value investor Benjamin Graham. He said the individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. Okay, so what's the difference there? A speculator takes big risks in hopes of making large quick gains. Conversely, an investor focuses on risk appropriate strategies to pursue longer term goals, which is really consistent with being a prudent, disciplined real estate investor. Presidential advisor Bernard Baruch contributed this to the investing world. Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars. yes. Tried to time the market. It might be tempting, but it rarely works because no one really knows when the market has reached its top or its bottom. All you can really hope to do is buy lower and sell higher. But you're never going to buy at the trough and sell at the peak.   Keith Weinhold (00:10:00) - And even buying lower and selling higher is harder to do than it sounds, even though everyone knows that's what they're supposed to do. Albert Einstein is back here, he said. Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it. He who doesn't pays it. And as you've learned here on the show on previous episodes, compound interest. It does work arithmetically, but not in real life would apply to the stock market. Of course. My quote contribution to the investing world on this is compound interest is weak. Compound leverage is powerful. I broke that down just last week on the show, so I won't explain that again. Now, really, a central mantra in GR principle is don't live below your means, grow your means. But I must tell you, I can't really take credit for coining that particular one because from the rich dad world, the quote is don't live below your means, expand your means. But I did hear that from them first, and though it can't be certain, I think it was Sharon letter that coined that one.   Keith Weinhold (00:11:13) - A lot of people don't know this, but she was the original co-author of the book. Rich dad, Poor Dad with Robert Kiyosaki. And Sharon has been here on the show before, and if I have her back, I will ask her if she is the one that coined that. Don't live below your means. Expand. Your means. But yeah, I mean, what this quote really means is, in this one finite life that you have here on Earth, why in the world would you not only choose to live below your means, but actually take time and effort learning how to do a better job of living below your means when it just makes you miserable after a while, when instead you could use those same efforts to grow your means and you can only cut down so far. And there's an unlimited ceiling on the upside. And now there is one caveat here. I understand that if you're just getting on your feet, well, then living below your means might be a necessity for you in the short term.   Keith Weinhold (00:12:08) - And what's an example of living below your means? It's eating junk food because it's cheap and filling, expanding your means. That might be doing something like learning how to do a cost segregation to accelerate your depreciation. Write off on your 20 unit apartment building. But you know, even if you're in hardship, I still like live within your means more than the scarcity minded guidance of live below your means. Next is a terrific one, and it really reinforces the last quote a rich man digs for gold. A poor man is concerned with the cost of a shovel. Oh yeah, that's so good. And I don't know who to attribute that to. It's about growing your means and taking on and actually embracing calculated risks. Not every risk, calculated risk. And you can also live that regret free life this way. In fact, episode 91 of this show is called A Rich Man Digs for gold. So you can get more inspiration for that from that episode. Okay, this one comes from the commodities world where there are notoriously volatile prices.   Keith Weinhold (00:13:18) - How do you make a million? You start with 2 million. now, this next one is one that I don't really agree with that much. You really heard this a lot the last few years. It applies when you have a mortgage on a property, and that is the house is the liability and the debt is the asset. I know people are trying to be crafty. People kind of use this pithy quote when they're discussing how those that locked in at those artificially low mortgage rates years ago considered the debt so good that it's an asset. It's like, yeah, I know what you're saying. And I love good real estate debt and leverage and all that, of course. But really, for you, truly, then if the House is a liability and the debt is an asset like you're saying, then give away the house to someone else. If it's such a liability, and keep the debt to pay off yourself if it's really such an asset. A little humorous here. Next, Forbes magazine said, how do you make a million marry a millionaire? Or better yet, divorce one then more? Real estate ish is Jack Miller's quote how do you become a millionaire? Well, you borrow $1 million and you pay it off.   Keith Weinhold (00:14:31) - And I think we can all relate to that here at GRE. Better yet, borrow $1 million and don't pay it off yourself. Have tenants and inflation pay it down for you. And you know, inflation is getting to be a problem for any of these, like century old classic quotes that have the word millionaire in them. Because having a net worth of a million that actually used to mean you were wealthy, and now it just means you're not poor, but you might even be below middle class. Now, you probably heard of some of these next ones, but let's talk about what they mean. Warren Buffett said the stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. And then Benjamin Franklin said an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. I mean, yeah, that's pretty on point stuff there when it comes to investing. Nothing will pay off more than educating yourself. So do some research before you jump in. And you've almost certainly heard this next one from Warren Buffett.   Speaker 4 (00:15:28) - You want to be greedy when others are fearful, and you want to be fearful when others are greedy.   Keith Weinhold (00:15:32) - That is, be prepared to invest in a down market and to get out in a soaring market. As per the philosophy of Warren Buffett, it's far too easy for investors to lose perspective when something big goes wrong. A lot of people panic and sell their investments. And looking at history. The markets recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. They recover from the dotcom crash. They even recover from the Great Depression, although it took a long time. So they're probably going to get through whatever comes next as well, if you really follow that through what Buffett said there. Well, then at a time like this now, I mean, you could be looking at shedding stocks as they continue to approach and break all time highs. Carlos Slim, hello said with a good perspective on history, we can have a better understanding of the past and present and thus a clear vision of the future. Sure. Okay, that quote like that probably didn't sound very snappy and it's really simple, but he's telling us that if you want to know the future, check on the past.   Keith Weinhold (00:16:39) - Not always, but often. It will tell you the future directory, or at least that trajectories range. And this is similar to how I often say take history over hunches, like when you're applying economics to real estate investing. Now this next guy has been a controversial figure, but George Soros said it's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong. Okay, I think that quote means that too many investors become almost obsessed with being right, even when the gains are small, winning big, and cutting your losses when you're wrong. They are more important than being right. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time. All right. Now, that's rather applicable to the high flying risk of, say, investing in startup companies. We'll see. Bezos himself, he took a lot of those bets, a 10% chance at a 100 X payoff. And that is exactly why he's one of the richest people in the world.   Keith Weinhold (00:17:49) - Now, if you haven't heard of John Bogle before, you should know who he is. He co-founded the Vanguard Group, and he's credited with popularizing the very concept of the index fund. I mean, Bogle transformed the entire investment management industry. John Bogle said, don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack. Okay? If it seems too hard to say, find the next Amazon. Well, John Bogle came up with the only sure way to get in on the action. By buying an index fund, investors can put a little bit of money into every stock, and that way they never miss out on the stock market's biggest winners. They're only going to have a small part. And what that means to a real estate investor is, say, rather than buying a single property in a really shabby neighborhood, that neighborhood will drag down your one property. So to apply boggles by the whole haystack quote. What you would do then is raise money to buy the entire block, or even the entire neighborhood and fix it up, therefore raising the values of all of the properties.   Keith Weinhold (00:18:55) - Back to Warren Buffett. He had this analogy about the high jump event from track and field. He said, I don't look to jump over seven foot bars. I look around for one foot bars that I can step over. Yeah. All right. I mean, investors often do make things too hard on themselves. The value stocks that Buffett prefers, they frequently outperform the market, making success easier. Supposedly sophisticated strategies like short selling. A lot of times they lose money in the long run. So profiting from those is more difficult. Now, you might have heard the quote, and it's from Philip Fisher. He said the stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Yeah. I mean, that's really another testament to the fact that investing without an education and research that's ultimately going to lead to pretty regrettable investment decisions. Research is a lot more than just listening to the popular opinion out there, because people often just then invest on hype or momentum without understanding things like a company's fundamentals or what value they create for society, or being attentive to price to earnings ratios.   Keith Weinhold (00:20:08) - Even Robert Arnott said in investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable. You know, that's pretty on point at times. You have to step out of your comfort zone to realize any big gains. Know the boundaries of your comfort zone. Practice stepping out of it in small doses. As much as you need to know the market, you need to know yourself too. Can you handle staying in when everyone else is jumping out, or do you have the guts to get out during the biggest rally of the century? You've got to have the stomach to be contrarian and see it through. Robert Allen said. How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case. That's the end of what Robert G. Allen said. Yeah, though inflation could cut out the millionaires part. Yeah I mean point well taken. No one builds wealth through a savings account. Now a savings account might be the right place for your emergency fund. It has a role, but it's not a wealth builder.   Keith Weinhold (00:21:10) - I mean, since we left the gold standard back in 1971, so many dollars get printed most years that savers become losers. Which, hey, that does bring us to Robert Kiyosaki. He's been a guest on the show here with us for times now, one of our most frequent guests ever. Here he is. The risks at Port Arthur. And you probably know what I'm going to say. He is, he said. Savers or losers? Debtors or winners of something that your parents probably would never want to know that you subscribed to your grandparents, especially. Yes, he is one of the kings of iconoclastic finance quotes. And as you know, I've got some contributions to that realm myself. But what Kiyosaki is saying is if you save 100 K under a mattress and inflation is 5%, well, now after a year you've only got 95 K in purchasing power. So therefore get out of dollars and get them invested. Even better than if you can get debt tied to a cash flowing leveraged asset. In fact, episode 212 of this very show is named Savers are Losers.   Keith Weinhold (00:22:18) - Debtors are winners. So I go deep on that theme there. We've got more as we look at it and break down some of the great real estate investing quotes, maxims and aphorisms. They generally get more real estate ish as we go here, including ones that you haven't heard before and dropping, quote, bombs here that absolutely have to be enunciated and brought to light ahead.

Listen to get Rich education with Keith Reinhold and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold (00:25:20) - Welcome back to Get Your Education. I'm your host, Keith Weiner. We're having some fun today, looking at and breaking down some of the great investing quotes, maxims, and aphorisms. Andrew Carnegie said, the wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate. Another one for Mark Twain here by land. They're not making it any more. You probably heard one or both of those. And yeah, Twain's time predated that of those islands that are built in Dubai. But Twain's point is still well taken. There is an inherent scarcity in land. Louis Glickman drove the point home about real estate investing when he simply said, the best investment on Earth is Earth. A Hebrew proverb goes as far as saying he is not a fool man who does not own a piece of land.   Keith Weinhold (00:26:18) - Wow, that's pretty profound right there. And if you're a female listener, yes, many of these timeless quotes from yesteryear harken back to a period when all of the landowners were men. President Franklin D Roosevelt, he has a real estate quote that you probably heard, but let's see what I think about it. Let's talk about it. Here it is. Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away, purchased with common sense, paid for in full and managed with reasonable care. It is about the safest investment in the world. That's from FDR. That's pretty good. I just don't know about the paid in full part because you lost your leverage. FDR, Johnny Isakson, a US senator, said, in the real estate business, you learn more about people and you learn more about community issues. You learn more about life. You learn more about the impact of government, probably more than any other profession that I know of. And that's good, really on point stuff there.   Keith Weinhold (00:27:23) - If you're a direct real estate investor like we are here, you really learn those things. If you're in, say, a REIT, well, you're not going to be exposed to that type of knowledge in experiences. Hazrat Ali Khan is a spiritualist and he said, some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful. Yeah, that's some mystical motivation for the house flipper or the value add real estate syndicator right there, Political economist John Stuart Mill, he said something you've probably heard before. Landlords grow rich in their sleep without working, risking or economizing. Oh, yes, you can have a real estate quotes episode without that classic one. Although rather than landlords growing rich in their sleep, the phrase real estate investors is likely more accurate. Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait. You've surely heard that one. You might not know that it was actor Will Rogers with that particular attribution, entrepreneur Marshall Field said buying real estate is not only the best way, the quickest way, the safest way, but the only way to become wealthy, billionaire John Paulson said.   Keith Weinhold (00:28:45) - I think buying a home is the best investment any individual can make. That's what Paulson said. let's give Paulson the benefit of the doubt here. Although Robert Kiyosaki famously said that a house is not an asset because an asset puts money in your pocket and your home takes money out of your pocket, well, a home is something that you get to live in, build family memories in, and you do get some leverage if you keep debt on your own home. So maybe that's more of what's behind John Paulson's maxim there. Notable entrepreneur Jesse Jones. He said I have always liked real estate, farmland, pasture land, timberland and city property. I have had experience with all of them. I guess I just naturally like the good Earth, which is the foundation of all our wealth. Business mogul Tamir Sapir said if you're not going to put your money in real estate, where else? Yeah, I guess that's a good question. Anthony hit real estate professional. He said to be successful in real estate, you must always inconsistently put your client's best interests first.   Keith Weinhold (00:30:00) - When you do, your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations. Yeah, I think he's talking about being a team player there. And if you're a real estate agent, it's about putting your client's needs over yours. If it's a landlord, perhaps then you're thinking about putting your tenants first and meeting their needs so that they stay in your property longer. Here's a quote that I've got to say I don't understand. It's from real estate mogul and shark tank shark Barbara Corcoran. She says a funny thing happens in real estate. When it comes back, it comes back like gangbusters. I don't really know what that means, and I don't know what a gangbuster is yet. I see that quote all over the place. I can't explain why that would be popular. I don't get it at all now, novelist Anthony Trollope said it is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away. Entrepreneur Armstrong Williams is here with this gem. Now one thing I tell everyone is to learn about real estate.   Keith Weinhold (00:31:12) - Repeat after me. Real estate provides the highest returns, the greatest values in the least risk. Yeah, that's a real motivator of a quote. As long as one knows what they're doing and buys, right? All of that could very well be true from Armstrong Williams. It was none other than John de Rockefeller that said the major fortunes in America have been made in land. Yeah, it's just really plain and simple there. John Jacob Astor, he got specific and more strategic here. This is Astor. He said, buy on the fringe and wait by land near a growing city. Buy real estate when other people want to sell and hold what you buy. I mean, yeah, that's pretty much an all timer right there from Astor. Winston Churchill said land monopoly is not only monopoly, it is by far the greatest of monopolies. It is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly. Yeah, interesting from Churchill. And there's a good chance that you haven't heard that one before.   Keith Weinhold (00:32:26) - Perhaps. So say, for example, if one owns real estate on all four corners of a busy street intersection, then that quote applies. It's like you've got a monopoly on a popular intersection. Russell Sage said. This real estate is an imperishable asset, ever increasing in value. It is the most solid security that human ingenuity has devised. It is the basis of all security and about the only indestructible security. That's from Russell Sage. And, you know, you know, something here is we've got lots of real estate specific quotes in this segment is that it is rare to nonexistent to see any negative quotes about real estate, about anyone saying anything bad about it. It's all positive stuff. Waxing eloquent about real estate. And there are a lot of reasons to do that. But not every real estate moment is great. Maybe this is all because nothing quotable is said when you find out that one of your tenants is a drug dealer. Well. Finance expert Susie Orman says this owning a home is a keystone of wealth, both financial affluence and emotional security.   Keith Weinhold (00:33:46) - Yeah, a lot like an earlier quote. A home is the only investment that you get the benefit of living in. Peter Lynch said. No, what you own and why you own it. I mean, that is short, sweet and it's just a really good reminder to you. Do you now own any properties that you would not buy again? And if you wouldn't buy it again, then should you consider selling it now? Not FDR, but Theodore Roosevelt. He said every person who invests. In well selected real estate in a growing section of a prosperous community, adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent for real estate is the basis of wealth. That's Theodore Roosevelt. Yeah. He reiterates that you want to own most of your property in growing places, something that really hasn't changed over all this time. Coke Odyssey contributes to this. The house he looked at today and wanted to think about until tomorrow, maybe the same house someone looked at yesterday and will buy today. Oh, gosh, that's true.   Keith Weinhold (00:34:58) - I think that everyone has the story of the one that got away. Margaret Mitchell said the land is the only thing worth working for. Worth fighting for, worth dying for. Because it's the only thing that lasts. Yeah. Wow. Some real passion there from Margaret. Sir John Templeton said the four most dangerous words in investing are. It's different this time. Yeah. I think what Templeton is advising is to follow market trends in history. Don't speculate that this particular time will be any different. Warren Buffett said wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. Yeah, that insight from Buffett. That's pretty applicable when you understand that you've got to get good in a niche and then get rich in that niche, meaning being narrow. Why diversification? That's likely better when you're just beginning and you don't know much, but then you want to get niche in your big earning years. And then perhaps when you're older, you get diversified once again because you're more interested in just protecting what you have.   Keith Weinhold (00:36:15) - Robert Kiyosaki said it's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for. Now there's something with tax efficiencies and more in that Kiyosaki quote. My friend Dave Zook, billionaire dollar syndicator and frequent guest on this show, he said, you can be conventional or you can be wealthy. Pick one. Oh yeah, I love that from Dave. Because if you do what everyone else does, you'll only get what everyone else got. And I've contributed some material here over 508 episodes of this show. Although I won't claim the eminence of some of the other luminaries of the past few centuries discussed today. I've been known to say these. You do care about what others think. That's your reputation. I've been known to say the scarcity mentality is abundant and the abundance mentality is scarce. And some say that in real estate, I was the first one to point out back in 2015 that real estate pays five ways. Another that I have is a critique of delayed gratification.   Keith Weinhold (00:37:31) - Now, some delayed gratification is okay early on in your life, but I've said too much delayed gratification becomes denied gratification. Here on Earth, you live just one life. Hey. And the other day, an entrepreneurial friend. I don't know. He seemed to think that I have the right life balance. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but here's what I told him. And I think he said this because he often sees me out to exercising and things. I told him I give my best to exercise. Business only gets left over time. That's because exercise is hard and making money is easy. Yeah, there it is. That's my take on that. And that's it for today. I hope that you got some learning, some perspective, a few laughs and that some thought was spurred inside your mind in order to give you at least one big, rich novel takeaway here. And it's probably best for you to refer back to this episode of quotes, maxims, and aphorisms. At times when you're feeling shaky about your investment decision making, or just other times of uncertainty.   Keith Weinhold (00:38:49) - Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Reinhold, and there's something else that I've been known to say.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Wonder Boy voor jou. Dit boek is geschreven door Angel Au-Yeung en David Jeans en gaat over het leven van Ton Hsieh. Het boek is geschreven na zijn dood in 2020, met een focus op de laatste 12 maanden van zijn leven. De ondertitel is Tony Hsieh, Zappos and the Myth of Happiness in Silicon Valley. De journalisten Angel Au-Yeung (Wall Street Journal) en David Jeans (Forbes) werkten anderhalf jaar aan dit boek en interviewde meer dan 150 mensen, en lazen verslagen van rechtszaken. Het boek heeft 29 hoofdstukken en 308 pagina's. Met de proloog word je gelijk in het verhaal getrokken. De proloog beschrijft de laatste momenten van zijn leven als hij uit het brandende schuurtje wordt gehaald door brandweerlieden, en naar het ziekenhuis wordt gevlogen. Tot en met zijn overlijden zeven dagen later als zijn familie in het ziekenhuis besluit de levensondersteuning te beëindigen. Het is een intens boek van een man die tijdens zijn leven probeert het gebrek aan liefde in zijn jeugd te compenseren met werk, feesten en verdovende middelen. Eerder bespraken we zijn boek Delivering Happiness waarin Tony laat zien hoe de focus op geluk en welzijn van medewerkers een positief effect heeft op klanten en daarmee op de groei van je bedrijf. Tony Hsieh was een wonder jongen die twee bedrijven uitbouwde en verkocht en daarmee enorm veel geld verdiende, zijn eerste bedrijf verkocht hij voor 256 miljoen aan Microsoft. Tien jaar later verkocht hij Zappos, waar hij CEO en mede-eigenaar was, voor 1.2 miljard aan Amazon. Dit boek is vooral een gedetailleerde beschrijving van de periode na de verkoop van Zappos, de bouw van een gemeenschap in down town Las Vegas, zijn gebruik van alcohol en drugs, zijn achteruitgang in de laatste 12 maanden van zijn leven. Uit de verhalen lijkt een vroegtijdige dood van Tony onvermijdelijk. Het is een triest verhaal van iemand, die met geniale inzichten, bijzondere programeer kwaliteiten, een andere kijk op medewerkers en dienstverlenening, een bijzonder bedrijf opbouwt. Onder invloed van drank en verdovende middelen verliest hij de controle, verzameld vooral 'ja-mensen' om zich heen, en stoot de mensen af die het goed met hem voor hebben. Met zijn melangomale (waan)ideeën verzamelde hij mensen om zich heen die vooral uit zijn op zijn geld. Het kost hem uiteindelijk zijn leven na een brand in een schuurtje. Het boek begint met enkele verhalen uit zijn kindheid, waarin alles draait om prestatie, zoals je vaker ziet bij migranten. Hard werkende ouders, met een focus op de maximale prestatie van kinderen, in school en in andere kwaliteiten zoals het leren bespelen van vier muziekinstrumenten en de vele uren van oefenen. Er was nauwelijks ruimte om kind te zijn en te ontdekken. Het boek nam mij mee in verwondering over wat hij bereikt heeft als mens en ondernemer. De jongeman die met alcohol en drugs in staat was een sociaal leven te leiden en telkens weer probeerde de sfeer te creëren zoals tijdens zijn studententijd, veel mensen die samen kwamen in zijn kamer, feesten, en manieren bedenken om geld te verdienen. Waar het overmatig alcohol gebruik geen probleem leek te zijn voor zijn systeem, maar uiteindelijk toch voor meer en meer gebruik van verdovende middelen leidde en zijn geestelijke gezondheid verloor. Een verhaal waar ik steeds triester van werd. Een verhaal dat voor mij een bevestiging geeft over hoe ingewikkeld het is met zoveel geld in je leven. Hierdoor trekt je mensen aan die op zoek zijn naar een glimp van je geniaalheid, en hopen dat ze iets kunnen overnemen van zijn inzichten. Je trekt mensen die geld van je nodig hebben en daarvoor met vreemde voorstellen instemmen. Je wordt omringd door bekende artiesten, ondernemers en politici, waardoor je in een andere wereld leeft. Tony probeerde in Las Vegas en later in Utah zijn eigen wereld en gemeenschap te creëren. Interessante hoofdstukken en elementen uit het boek voor mij en voor ondernemers:

While this five-part series is about one extraordinary man who deserves as much name recognition as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, it's also about the many overlapping contexts that explain his successes, his tragic downward spiral, and his evergreen comments on how to be happy. Tony Hsieh spent his life studying and trying to create and spread happiness, implementing elements of rave culture, the Silicon Valley lifestyle, Howard-Hughes-level renovation ideas, and outside-the-box theories. The results: a shoe company where meetings were more like pep rallies, Tony's llama obsession was apparent, and decor and toys abounded; a Vegas project set on creating the happiest city on Earth in just five years; a “Happiness Tour” that spread fun and games nationwide; and even more pursuits. However, Tony's ambitious projects also brought chaos, misery, loneliness, and confusion to many - including, unbeknownst to some, himself. Each episode in this mini-series covers both Tony Hsieh's life story and seemingly unrelated stories that took place simultaneously. At the end, the different puzzle pieces will form a clear picture, one that shows what happiness is, was, and could be. This is part five: A 2020 presidential campaign that no one seems to remember; the final months of Tony's life; Tony's tragic passing; and the messy fallout from him dying without a will. With Tony gone but not the ideas he was the face of, what has happened to those ideas? How did past friends and family members react to his passing? And did Tony ever find the happiness he spent his life seeking? Did ANYONE in this story?

At the end, the different puzzle pieces will form a clear picture, one that shows what happiness is, was, and could be. This is part four: Tony's loss of interest in the “DTP,” replaced with a feverish urge to replicate the project in Park City, Utah; a serendipitous meeting with the singer Jewel; a new interest in “biohacking;” and eyebrow-raising reactions to increasingly scathing reviews of Tony's past projects.

While this five-part series is about one extraordinary man who deserves as much name recognition as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, it's also about the many overlapping contexts that explain his successes, his tragic downward spiral, and his evergreen comments on how to be happy. Tony Hsieh spent his life studying and trying to create and spread happiness, implementing elements of rave culture, the Silicon Valley lifestyle, Howard-Hughes-level renovation ideas, and outside-the-box theories. The results: a shoe company where meetings were more like pep rallies, Tony's llama obsession was apparent, and decor and toys abounded; a Vegas project set on creating the happiest city on Earth in just five years; a “Happiness Tour” that spread fun and games nationwide; and even more pursuits. However, Tony's ambitious projects also brought chaos, misery, loneliness, and confusion to many - including, unbeknownst to some, himself. Each episode in this mini-series covers both Tony Hsieh's life story and seemingly unrelated stories that took place simultaneously. At the end, the different puzzle pieces will form a clear picture, one that shows what happiness is, was, and could be. This is part three: All about The Downtown Project, which gave downtown Vegas a makeover, gave entrepreneurs dream-come-true funding and opportunities, and created an atmosphere that was a party until it suddenly wasn't. Plus: the sales of a recluse; a growing but stumbling “Happiness Industry;” and increased attention towards “Holacracy,” a system billing itself as bureaucracy's antidote.

This is one of those full-circle stories that makes our dusty hearts glow a little brighter. It's the tale of big art that emerged from a fossil-filled trash heap, came to life in Black Rock City, then returned to its source as a proud symbol of what a community can accomplish together.Tahoe Mack, a Las Vegas artist, tells the story of the Black Rock City Honoraria art piece she started when she was 15 years old. Her final Girl Scouts project became, oh, so much more. Over a few years, she learned to weld, fundraise, and work with acclaimed artists Dana Albany and Luis Varelo-Rico.Her vision drew attention to an urban park with a rich archaeological history. Built from metal detritus that had accumulated there, “The Monumental Mammoth” dazzled Burners in Black Rock City 2019, and is now a permanent installation at a trailhead near the fossil field that inspired it all, and forged new connections between dozens of people.https://www.tahoemariemack.com/themounumentalmammothhttps://protectorsoftulesprings.org/monumental-mammoth-projecthttps://www.danaalbanyart.com/mammothhttps://burningman.org/podcast/dana-albany-dreaming-in-metal-and-glass LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jordan Ostroff discuss:How business planning and life planning are more similar than you might think. Building a life that makes you happy. Helping yourself make the right choices, not the wrong ones. Achieving multiple outcomes from the same action (not multitasking).  Key Takeaways:Put a team together to support you so you can focus on the things that are your unique talent - in your business, and in your personal life. What low-hanging fruit are you overlooking that could change the game?Start making small changes, they will add up and result in massive changes in less time than you think. You are not the best at most things - delegate the things that you aren't the best at. Know your limitations.  "You're not sacrificing the work, you're empowering somebody else who is better at these things to do them better than you would." —  Jordan Ostroff Get a free audio copy of Steve's book “Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science” here: https://fretzin.com/audiobook Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: Atomic Habits Summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ7lDrwYdZcAtomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsThe Four Tendencies - Gretchen Rubin: https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-four-tendencies/Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh: https://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446576220 About Jordan Ostroff: Jordan Ostroff is a successful lawyer and visionary entrepreneur.

How Product Managers Can Master the Art of Communication? The Crucial Role of Communication in Product Management Communication is the backbone of a Product Manager's responsibilities, impacting various aspects of their role: 1. Stakeholder Alignment - A PM interfaces with a multitude of stakeholders, including engineers, designers, marketing teams, and executives. The ability to articulate product vision, objectives, and progress is vital to ensure everyone is on the same page. Failure to do so can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and misalignment. Example: Consider the case of Tesla's Elon Musk. His exceptional communication skills, through mediums like Twitter and public presentations, have kept Tesla enthusiasts, investors, and the public informed about the company's vision, progress, and challenges. 2. Requirement Gathering - To build a successful product, a PM needs to gather and document requirements from various sources, including customers, internal teams, and market research. Clear and concise communication ensures that these requirements are accurately captured and understood. Example: Amazon's Jeff Bezos mandated an empty chair in meetings, symbolizing the absent customer. This practice reinforced the importance of customer-centric communication and decision-making in the company. 3. Prioritization and Roadmapping - A Product Manager must prioritize features and create a product roadmap. Effective communication helps in justifying these decisions to the team and stakeholders, aligning everyone with the product's strategic direction. Example: Spotify's Daniel Ek has excelled in communicating their vision to prioritize user-centric features. This has led to a constant stream of innovations in the music streaming service, keeping them ahead in a competitive market. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration - In a dynamic environment, a PM collaborates with cross-functional teams, often with varying priorities and perspectives. Clear communication fosters collaboration, minimizes conflicts, and helps in achieving product goals. Example: Slack's Stewart Butterfield promoted transparency and open communication, allowing teams to work together efficiently, resulting in the development of a popular team collaboration tool. A Structured Approach to Mastering Communication for Product Managers To shine in their role, Product Managers can adopt a structured approach to communication. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Understand Your Audience - The first step is to understand who you are communicating with. Tailor your message to the level of detail and terminology that your audience will understand. Engineers may require technical details, while executives may need a high-level overview. Example: Steve Jobs was known for his ability to simplify complex technological concepts when presenting new Apple products to the general public, making them accessible and exciting. 2. Craft a Clear Narrative - Create a compelling narrative around your product, emphasizing its value proposition, benefits, and unique selling points. A well-structured story captivates your audience and makes the message memorable. Example: The late Tony Hsieh of Zappos was a master at storytelling, making customers and employees feel part of a larger narrative about delivering happiness through exceptional service. 3. Actively Listen - Communication is not just about talking but also about listening. Pay attention to feedback and questions from your team and stakeholders. Listening actively helps you refine your message and address concerns.

Dana Albany has come a long way since her first art project in the Black Rock Desert, a scrap-wood camel that got her started making things out of found materials, from discarded metal and broken glass to sun-bleached cattle bones and deer antlers. She has built flammable targets for the notorious machine-art group Survival Research Labs, worked as the artist-in-residence at a San Francisco dump, and had her large scale metal and mixed-media sculptures exhibited around the world, most recently at the “Radical Horizons” show at England's Chatsworth House. She talks with Stuart about her path to becoming an artist, which began with a spur-of-the-moment trip to Burning Man in 1996, about her mentors and mentees along the way, and about the joys of working with children to create high-impact interactive art.DanaAlbanyArt.comchatsworth.org/news-media/news-blogs-press-releases/burning-man-about-the-sculpturesburningman.org/programs/civic-initiatives/youth-education-spaceship
