In case you missed it, Tristan Ahumada had an insightful conversation with Seth Godin. This episode originally aired June 2.  When surveying 10,000 people in 90 countries for his latest book, The Song of Significance, Seth Godin found that the top response for an aspect of the best job participants had ever had was not money, which Godin says is a common assumption of bosses, but being allowed to feel challenged at work in a healthy way. However, from an industrialist mindset, employees having agency (that is, freedom plus responsibility) and significance in their work is not the top priority of employers—instead, they want to exert control and gain obedience, according to Godin. Godin has learned from the many experiences and jobs he's had throughout his life, including his first job as an underqualified 23-year-old in a company making computer games for kids and, more recently, as a volunteer running The Carbon Almanac. Now, he discusses some of those lessons with Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada, as well as industrial capitalism and its connection to schooling, “page 19 thinking” and the uses of AI, as well as the necessity of understanding it before you choose to ignore it.  ---- Mentioned: Song of Increase by Jacqueline Freeman Stop Stealing Dreams by Seth Godin The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber Seth Godin is a bestselling author, entrepreneur and speaker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Freada Kapor Klein and Mitch Kapor's work began as it has continued—trying to level the corporate playing field. In the early 1980s, Mitch founded Lotus Development, and later brought in Freada to make the company “the most progressive employer in the U.S.,” as he says in today's episode. Both of them had a personal interest in closing these gaps—Growing up, Mitch was not terribly well socialized and often did not fit in, something which became a large part of his identity. As an entrepreneur, he saw an opportunity to create a workplace culture where everybody would have the chance to be accepted for who they were. Freada, on the other hand, had family history, experience as an activist and an in-progress Ph.D. in social policy and research behind her interest in changing the corporate setting. Now, the pair serve as founding partners of Kapor Capital and have recently published a book, Closing the Equity Gap, discussing the changes that need to be made to the standard investment model. Freada, Mitch and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss the impact of several of the gap-closing companies mentioned in the book, the opportunities they found through their focus on gap closing and the current societal divisiveness. ---- Mentioned: Bitwise Industries Promise Pay HealthSherpa Numerade Daivergent Freada Kapor Klein and Mitch Kapor are the authors of Closing the Equity Gap: Creating Wealth and Fostering Justice in Startup Investing.

Godin has learned from the many experiences and jobs he's had throughout his life, including his first job as an underqualified 23-year-old in a company making computer games for kids and, more recently, as a volunteer running The Carbon Almanac. Now, he discusses some of those lessons with Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada, as well as industrial capitalism and its connection to schooling, “page 19 thinking” and the uses of AI, as well as the necessity of understanding it before you choose to ignore it.  ---- Mentioned: Song of Increase by Jacqueline Freeman Stop Stealing Dreams by Seth Godin The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber Seth Godin is a bestselling author, entrepreneur and speaker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A&R wasn't a new dream for Gordan Dillard—he's a man who has always believed in what he wanted to do, and when he was younger, he aspired not only to become an executive and entrepreneur, but also to go into A&R. The journey to that dream began with an internship at Motown, and it only evolved from there. Dillard is a person who has always believed in what he wanted to do, but some of the paths his life has taken have been unexpected and/or a case of being in the right place at the right time—including his position as manager. Early on in his career, Dillard wasn't completely clear on what being a manager entailed—that is, until he was around managers in the A&R space. It was then that he realized that managers were embedded in the artists' careers and had more freedom and a hand in running the business than he had expected. His role as manager for Doja Cat followed a similar trajectory. Dillard and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss his journey to his present positions, the importance of being of value and how to find the people who will help you and your career. ---- Gordan Dillard is the executive vice president of A&R and artist development for Capitol Music Group.

Adeel Khan, M.D., started his career journey as a personal trainer, but the lack of intellectual stimulation and his continuing desire to help people evolved into his current career as a doctor, entrepreneur and researcher. However, during and after medical school Khan discovered that people were focused on preventative care and immediate treatments rather than health and lifestyle tools that would create a lasting impact.  Khan traveled the world to learn from conference speakers and people in countries including Europe and Asia, and brought all of that knowledge back with him. Today, he discusses how we can improve our body's natural healing abilities—but to make a start on doing this, he says, we need to rework our environment. That is, we need to find a way to restructure the world and stimuli around us to encourage our success rather than hinder it. Additionally, Khan and Brilliant Thoughts host, Tristan Ahumada, discuss managing your attention, avoiding shortcuts in life and current regenerative medicine research, including Khan's own entrepreneurial and research projects.  ---- Dr. Adeel Khan is known internationally for treating high-profile celebrities and athletes—from everyday clients to the richest man in Dubai.

"You probably haven't made a single authentic career choice in your life,” says Misha Rubin in this week's episode. And he speaks from experience—while Rubin stayed with Ernst & Young for 15 years, even making partner at the company, he wasn't happy. Nonetheless, he remained—after all, he had no other plans to follow. But one afternoon, during a business meeting, he finally listened to the quiet voice in his head and decided to take a leap.

At the end of the day, have you ever felt exhausted and stressed, even though you can't think of a good reason why? Turns out, there's a cause after all—microstresses, small moments and interactions that fly under the radar of our fight-or-flight response, but which affect our body just as regular stress does.  Rob Cross and Karen Dillon conducted myriad interviews for their new book, The Microstress Effect, and found that “the stress we create inevitably boomerangs back on us in a different form, and so the less you create, the less you have coming back,” according to Cross. Now, Cross, Dillon and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss how relationships affect your well-being, moments in which Cross and Dillon have taken action to push back against microstresses in their own lives and how we can build resilience and emotional reserves to deal with microstresses in our day-to-day life. ---- Mentioned: “The Secret to Building Resilience” “Harvard Study of Adult Development” Rob Cross and Karen Dillon are authors of THE MICROSTRESS EFFECT: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems—and What to Do about It.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rachel Glass has always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but it's only recently that she's gotten a chance to put it to use. After graduating from business school in 2006, Glass worked in the financial sector—specifically hedge fund fundraising—for about 10 years. It was a financially secure job, but after having her second daughter, the reality of feeling like she wasn't in a job she truly loved began to weigh on her. And so, GLOSSLAB was born. The company wasn't a new idea—for Glass, it was one that had originated in college, something that she held onto but never pursued. Now, it is a hygiene- and efficiency-focused, membership-based nail salon brand that Glass is proud to call her own.

EVGLE didn't start up all at once—instead, it built up over time, allowing pieces to slot into place and create the rising success the company is now.

“Do less to make more” is Amy Porterfield's mantra, and for good reason: Her success has been gained through her focus on doing just a few things really well, and sharing that knowledge with others. But entrepreneurship hasn't always come so easily to her. The Orange County, California,-born author and digital marketer began her journey 14 years ago, after leaving her job as content director for Tony Robbins. During a focus group which she was attending as a note-taker, she heard the assembled business owners talking about the freedom they felt in their jobs, and realized that she had never felt the same. A year later, she left the company, intent on building her own business. The journey wasn't without its trials. She had never had to build a business before, let alone worry about the necessary minutia. Her book, Two Weeks Notice, was born from this struggle. A step-by-step guide to solving and overcoming every challenge she faced, it is the book Porterfield wishes she'd had when her entrepreneurial journey began, written with the intention to help others struggling on or unaware of the same path traverse its many trials. Now, Porterfield and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss the necessity of putting out weekly content, how to build an email list and Porterfield's tips for developing digital courses. ---- Amy Porterfield is a marketing strategist helping entrepreneurs build their business online.

"I think… a concern that many of us run into is we are playing as hard as we are working and it's crushing our body,” says Olly Wood in today's episode. His advice on the trifecta of physical, digestive and psychological health comes not only from book learning, but also from personal experience. A former motorbike track racer and personal trainer, he felt on top of the world in regard to his physical condition. He was forced to confront the unbalanced reality of his life, however, after a major crash tore several muscles in his shoulder—injuries he's still nursing a few years later—and one of his first thoughts while in the hospital was how much work he had to do on Monday. Wood refers to this as his “hit by a truck moment”—a major incident which prompted him to realize that, despite his peak physical condition, he wasn't taking care of himself holistically.  Now, he discusses the need to focus on what's important in our lives instead of just looking at what's urgent—a state which lets issues we could have begun to fix much sooner grow and fester into larger, life-disrupting problems. Wood and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada continue on to talk about creating a plan for your health and well-being, the danger of an “all or nothing” attitude and how our physical, digestive and psychological health all affect each other—and, in turn, our ability to function. Olly Wood, founder of The Meta Project, got his start in the trenches of the health world as a PT in a big box gym. After 7 years of working with primarily high-performing business owners he saw the extent to which stress, inflammation and a lack of focus on recovery was ruining any progress they were making, and, worse still, was leaving them burnt out and unproductive mentally as well.

James Benham is no stranger to entrepreneurship—at 12 years old, when his dad wouldn't hire him to work at his plastics company, he started a lawnmower business with a loan from his dad. At 16, he got a job bussing restaurant tables, and in the early 90s he became a consultant, teaching people how to navigate the internet. At 21, he started his next venture—his own company. In the end, not getting a job at his dad's company—or control of his business—ended up being exactly what he needed to become who he is today. Without striking out on his own, he might never have created two businesses and learned customer service during his time working at a restaurant.  Now, Benham is co-founder and CEO of JBKnowledge, the “insurance industry's leading specialty technology solutions provider." Today, he talks with Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada about finding a mentor, innovating without burning out, listening to your customers and the importance of sticking to your values.    James M. Benham is the co-founder and CEO of JBKnowledge, a multinational technology and consulting company he's bootstrapped for over 20 years. His book, Be Your Own VC, was published in November 2022, and you can find him on LinkedIn at James M. Benham.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon Ostenson, founder, CEO and consultant at FranBridge Consulting, wasn't always involved in the world of franchising. After years in corporate America, he set out on an entrepreneurial path—even though, at the time, he wasn't quite sure what he wanted that path to look like. Six years ago, it brought him to ShelfGenie, a private company and national franchise, where he saw that franchising was more than a fast food-based world—it was one in which people from all backgrounds could succeed.  Now, he focuses on helping to educate people on the opportunities available to them in non-food franchising. Via his company, the process is completely free for clients, and consultants assist them in narrowing the vast array of franchise opportunities down to their top 10 options, and then to their final decision. In this week's episode, Ostenson and Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada discuss the difference between a franchise and a startup, the process of becoming a franchisee, the pros and cons—as well as what to look for—when starting a franchise and the benefits of “boring” businesses. Jon Ostenson is a consultant, investor, author and international speaker specializing in the area of non-food franchising. He serves as founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, and is the author of Non-Food Franchising: The Better Path to Business Ownership.
