Doug Laney is the preeminent expert in the field of infonomics — and it's not just because he literally wrote the book on it.    As the Data & Analytics Strategy Innovation Fellow at consulting firm West Monroe, Doug helps businesses use infonomics to measure the economic value of their data and monetize it. He also is a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he teaches classes on analytics and infonomics.    On this episode of Experiencing Data, Doug and I talk about his book Infonomics, the many different ways that businesses can monetize data, the role of creativity and product management in producing innovative data products, and the ever-evolving role of the Chief Data Officer.   In our chat, we covered:    Why Doug's book Infonomics argues that measuring data for its value potential is key to effectively managing and monetizing it. (2:21) A 'regenerative asset': Innovative methods for deploying and monetizing data — and the differences between direct, indirect, and inverted data monetization. (5:10) The responsibilities of a Chief Data Officer (CDO) — and how taking a product management approach to data can generate additional value. (13:28) Why Doug believes that a 'lack of vision and leadership' is partly behind organizational hesitancy of data monetization efforts. (17:10) ‘A pretty unique skill': The importance of bringing in people with experience creating and marketing data products when monetizing data. (19:10) Insurance and torrenting: Creative ways companies have leveraged their data to generate additional value. (24:27) Ethical data monetization: Why Doug believes consumers must receive a benefit when organizations leverage their data for profit. (27:14) The data monetization workshops Doug runs for businesses looking to generate new value streams from its data. (29:42) Quotes from Today's Episode “Many organizations [endure] a vicious cycle of not measuring [their data], and therefore not managing, and therefore not monetizing their data as well as they can. The idea behind my book Infonomics is, flip that. I'll just start with measuring your data, understanding what you have, its quality characteristics, and its value potential. But vision is important as well, and so that's where we start with monetization, and thinking more broadly about the ways to generate measurable economic benefits from data.” - Doug (4:13)   “A lot of people will compare data to oil and say that ‘Data is the new oil.' But you can only use a drop of oil one way at a time. When you consume a drop of oil, it creates heat and energy and pollution, and when you use a drop of oil, it doesn't generate more oil. Data is very different. It has unique economic qualities that economists would call a non-rivalrous, non-depleting, and regenerative asset.” - Doug (7:52)   “The Chief Data Officer (CDO) role has come on strong in organizations that really want to manage their data as an actual asset, ensure that it is accounted for as generating value and is being managed and controlled effectively. Most CDOs play both offense and defense in controlling and governing data on one side and in enabling it on the other side to drive more business value.”- Doug (14:17)   “The more successful teams that I read about and I see tend to be of a mixed skill set, they're cross-functional; there's a space for creativity and learning, there's a concept of experimentation that's happening there.” - Brian (19:10)   “Companies that become more data-driven have a market-to-book value that's nearly two times higher than the market average. And companies that make the bulk of their revenue by selling data products or derivative data have a market-to-book value that's nearly three times the market average. So, there's a really compelling reason to do this. It's just that not a lot of executives are really comfortable with it. Data continues to be something that's really amorphous and they don't really have their heads around.” - Doug (21:38)   “There's got to be a benefit to the consumer in the way that you use their data. And that benefit has to be clear, and defined, and ideally measured for them, that we're able to reduce the price of this product that you use because we're able to share your data, even if it's anonymously; this reduces the price of your product.” - Doug (28:24)   Links referenced Infonomics: https://www.amazon.com/Infonomics-Monetize-Information-Competitive-Advantage/dp/1138090387 Email: dlaney@westmonroe.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglaney/ Westmonroe.com: https://westmonroe.com Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/instructor/dblaney

Therapy with an Audience An interview with Doug Friedman, LCSW, the host of Your Mental Breakdown, on why he chose to record therapy sessions for his podcast. Curt and Katie talk with Doug about the logistics and benefits of publicly providing therapy. We also look at how podcasting can decrease stigma and open up flexibility to learn as a therapist (rather than rigidly holding to a modality or to an expert status that doesn’t allow for mistakes). It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. Interview with Doug Friedman, LCSW Doug Friedman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Los Angeles. He has spent nearly 20 years working with adults, adolescents and families with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to substance abuse, bipolar disorder and PTSD.

Doug is the creator and co-host of the mental health/entertainment podcast, Your Mental Breakdown. Doug received a Masters in Social Work from The Catholic University of America and a BA in Study of Religion from UCLA. Before becoming a psychotherapist, Doug worked for a music management company that oversaw bands like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, and Bonnie Raitt. Doug is also the artist and songwriter behind all the music heard on the podcast, Your Mental Breakdown. In this episode we talk about: Doug’s mission of normalizing therapy and decreasing mental health stigma The importance of learning as a therapist and exploring mistakes or alternatives The experience of being a therapist on a public-facing podcast Why Doug doesn’t hold a modality sacred How therapy serves the client as a focus for treatment The logistics of setting up the podcast (laws, ethics, etc.) Navigating the relationship with the client on the podcast (dual relationships, confidentiality) The benefit of recording sessions and reviewing them later Exploration of opportunities and different choices that we can make in the room Cohost rapport and trust, inquiry, love, disagreement, calling out The comfort level in being recorded for a podcast: shifting from one on one to a public audience Creating a system to keep the work of making the podcast sustainable Being vulnerable and authentic as a value Being an expert does not mean having the right answer in the room, but knowing how to find the answer and seek additional advice How other clients respond to Doug’s podcast The possibility of the public persona and “fame”   Our Generous Sponsor Practicery Practicery is a graphic design company for therapists that was founded by Kimberly and Justin Slagle - a husband and wife team who are passionate about authentic, purposeful, custom visual branding and web design that’s made to match you (not your neighbor and everyone else down the block).

It is drilled in society that once you age past 60, your life practically stops, but it is up to you to prove everyone wrong and to keep learning and experiencing things beyond the made-up limitations you think your age gives to you. Teaching us about how living with intention is all that really matters, I present to you today’s guest, Douglas Sohn - a lawyer whose main intention in life is to help others make their lives a little bit better. He is an innovative entrepreneur who focuses on the study of human potential in order to inspire and aide people to get more out of life. Having six children and a 40 year long successful marriage, his own personal experiences have made him focus on success after 60 and on creating a company that helps others achieve exactly that.Doug does not focus on a specific definition of success, but he tries to help others achieve their personally-set goals, whichever they may be. Firstly, as a lawyer, Doug values in his practice the fact that he gets to help people in terms of service. Beyond that, after suffering four mini-strokes under 24 hours, he decided, at 67 years of age, that he wanted to become a teacher of the concepts of human potential development for people his own age who, like him, wanted to keep growing past 60.So, if you’re curious to learn more about what means to live with intention and create a better life for yourself when others quit, then listen to Episode 51 of Rejuvenaging, to find out more! Some questions I ask:What do you do when you get out of bed in the morning? (02:43)When you take some of your ideas and projects forward a year or two, how are you going to have this influence on other people? (11:52)What advice do have for somebody who’s not there yet, who may be a couple of decades away from their 60s? (15:11)Why do you do what you do? (23:53)In this episode, you will learn:Why Doug is different from the typical lawyer (04:14)How having a mini-stroke became a wake-up moment for Doug (08:33)The importance of living with intention (17:02)How introducing little changes can help make your life better (20:08)Connect with Doug:WebsiteFacebookUseful Rejuvenaging Resources:Website: https://www.thementalhealthgym.com/Book: Dr. Ron Kaiser - Rejuvenaging: The Art and Science of Growing Older with EnthusiasmEmail: ron.kaiser@thementalhealthgym.com TEDx Talk: Aging Enthusiastically to Make the World a Better Place See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As an artist and a creative, one of the most valuable skills you can learn is how to engage people with storytelling. Stories are the way we process information and make sense of the world around us. I’m excited today to bring you this conversation with a friend who helps us learn from the greatest storyteller of all time: Jesus. Today I’m thrilled to be talking with Doug Phillips, who is the Professor of New Testament and Greek Studies, and the Chair of the Biblical Education Division at St. Louis Christian College, where I am also a Professor. Doug has multiple advanced degrees and is also working on a PhD in New Testament from Asbury Theological Seminary. On this episode, we’re going to do a deep dive into the topic of storytelling in the Bible. Doug shares his journey to becoming a professor and helps us understand why Jesus’ parables were so powerful. You’ll learn what makes an effective story, the key components of Jesus’ parables, and how to start applying those lessons to your own communication. Episode Highlights In this episode, you’ll discover: How Doug became a Christian college professor. Why Doug had to learn 5 languages for his Ph.D program. What draws particular people to Old Testament or New Testament studies. What a parable is, and why Jesus used them. Why Jesus’ stories have a shock value (and why your stories should have it also). The value of reading your Bible slowly and carefully. Why the story of Esther is so dramatically satisfying. Keys to understanding parables, including: time elements, characters (clothing, speech, etc.), storyline, rising and falling tension, and narrative foils. Practical steps for becoming a more effective communicator, no matter what your field. Key takeaways: 1. Understand your audience. It’s vital that we speak to our listeners or readers in a way where they can relate. Jesus knew his audience and used stories that spoke to their needs and concerns. Take time to identify your ideal audience member or customer and think about how to communicate to them in a way they understand. 2. Use an inductive approach in your communication. It doesn’t work to just say, “Here’s what you should think, believe, or do.” A much better approach is to lead people in a way where they come to a conclusion on their own. Help people process the information you want them to know. As the saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” Good storytelling can help us lead people instead of pushing them. 3. Study the Bible to improve your communication. It’s easy to separate your spiritual life from your business or creative work. But you can learn a lot by studying the communication techniques and the literary genres of the Bible. Today’s audiences have a short attention span. Whether you’re a writer, speaker, podcaster, pastor, or other type of communicator, there is a lot you can learn from Jesus’ short, punchy style of storytelling. In addition, a large percentage of the Bible is some form of narrative—40% of the Old Testament, and much of the New Testament (the Gospels, Acts, and most of Revelation.) So, there are a lot of stories that not only teach us on a spiritual and historical level, they also help us to become better storytellers if we are willing to pay attention and learn from this ancient book that is living and active in our lives today.

In 2007, Doug Holt realized that though he looked successful from the outside, he was unfulfilled and unhappy. In fact, he wasn’t even the hero of his own story. That’s when he decided to embrace his introversion and design an online business that fit around his life. Today, Doug owns six companies centered around helping online entrepreneurs grow their businesses and lead epic lives. He is a serial entrepreneur with expertise in digital marketing, health and fitness, and transformational coaching. Doug serves online business owners as a lifestyle mentor and mastermind leader, supporting his clients in gaining clarity and taking control of their businesses in a way that supports their dreams. Today, Doug shares the process of elimination, automation and delegation that he used to design a business that fit his ideal life. He describes his top revenue streams, explaining how he generates income through mastermind groups, digital marketing services, and products like The Authority Maker. Doug discusses his ability to hold space for himself without the need for validation from others and his belief that having a coach or mentor is mission critical to your success. Listen in for Doug’s insight on losing the mask to become the introverted hero of your own story! Doug's favorite quote "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"- Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic" (Teddy Roosevelt) It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic" ~Teddy Roosevelt In this episode you’ll learn… How Doug mapped out his ideal life and formed his business around it. Doug’s process of elimination, automation and delegation. Doug’s advice for overcoming the isolation of an online business. The value of connecting in person via Shapr or LinkedIn Local. How Doug generates revenue through mentoring and products. How Doug helps online business owners with digital marketing. Doug’s whole-person approach to mastermind groups. Doug’s ability to hold space for himself without the need for validation. The AHA moment when Doug realized he wasn’t the hero of his own story.

SUMMARY: In this episode of DYB, Steve shares the mic with Doug Imhoff, owner/operator of Imhoff Fine Residential Painting. Doug started working at a young age. He was paid $1 an hour to work as a busboy in his father’s restaurant – that experience led him to entrepreneurship later on. After doing a couple of businesses like trading internationally, and after marrying his wife, Doug’s father called him up for help in his painting business. Doug flew his new family over to Minnesota and served the family business for 9 years before finally setting out on his own in Denver in 2006.

[It] has had a lot to do with who have I become in a way.” “You just can’t grow beyond a point if you insist on being everything. You just can’t be everything.” “Entrepreneurs and particularly, painters, in the building trade are super hard on themselves. And I think that they are richly deserving of some self-compassion and some generosity.” ----------------- HIGHLIGHTS: [00:25] How did Doug recognize the concept of total vulnerability?

Fancy A Behind The Scenes Look At How To Start A Podcast? My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a an with over 30 years of business experience as an entrepreneur, business owner, and leader. His book, Nice Guys Finish First is a #1 ranked Amazon Best Seller. He specializes in making connections, building relationships and strengthening bonds both inside and outside organizations. His speaking and consulting business is geared towards improving relationships and winning business through his time tested sales, service and relationship building system. He is a nationally recognized speaker, trainer and podcaster. He has been titled by a leading social media marketing company in the top “100 of Social Media Thought Influencers to Follow.” and with his podcast with Strickland Bonner, The Nice Guys on Business, he has over 500 episodes and more than 1 Million downloads. But at his core he is a man who seems to be finding the love in his life more and more , and enjoying himself as he builds his business. Now he is using that experience to help businesses and brands grow their audience with TurnKey Podcasting, where he takes away all the hassle from launch and producing a podcast to leave his clients with the time to do what they do best. And enjoy their own lives in the process. So is this a business born out of his own painful journey into podcasting hell, or simply an idea born from multiple conversations? And is he where I suggested in the intro, that enjoyment is the driving force in his life, or simply very good at hiding it? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Doug Sandler Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Doug Sandler such as: How the majority of podcasters aren't making any money on their podcast, and why that is quite an easy thing to change quickly. Doug shares how people take four years in their business before they really grasp what they are building. Many detours are taken until clarity is achieved. We discuss how it is so important to invest in yourself to fast track your progress. Dont think of it as expense, but instead look at it as something that you are stupid not to do. and lastly…. Why Doug will only focus in 2018 on his zone of genius, and how both him and his team see this as a huge improvement for everybody concerned.

‘I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I’m going to get there with enthusiasm!’ The path to success is almost never a straight line. In fact, Doug Sandler describes his route as a ‘jumbled mess.’ Doug enjoyed a 30-year career as a deejay, playing at 2500-plus functions. But when his financial planner advised that he be prepared for the next step, Doug realized that he needed a career reinvention. So at 47, he got himself a coach and shifted gears to pursue public speaking. From there, Doug took advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves: He wrote a book, Nice Guys Finish First, and created a podcast, The Nice Guys on Business. The podcast took off when Doug and his co-host realized that their audience was asking questions about the podcasting process. They shifted their focus to provide the content their listeners craved, and their corollary business, Turnkey Podcast, was born. Turnkey helps podcasters in any stage of the process, with a special focus on how to monetize a show. Today Doug joins Emerald to share his definition of ‘finishing first.’ He explains the tenacity it took to start a new career and the organic way that his entrepreneurial venture took shape. Doug discusses the details of Turnkey Podcast, revealing the impetus behind the business as well as the products and services they provide. Listen in for Doug’s insight on staying humble as you celebrate success and learning to make a career out of being a nice guy! What You Will Learn Doug’s insight on what it means to finish first How Doug discovered the purpose of his podcast The fear that motivated Doug to reinvent his career The organic nature of Doug’s path to success Making a career of being you Open to new possibilities Why Doug engages project coaches for support and guidance The impetus for creating Turnkey Podcast The products and services provided by Turnkey Podcast How Doug helps clients monetize their podcasts How Doug’s audience grew from 20K to 1M Doug’s approach to finding guests for his podcast Doug’s advice around staying humble as you celebrate success Why Doug urges you to fall in love Connect with Doug Sandler Turnkey Podcast The Nice Guys on Business Podcast Resources Nice Guys Finish First by Doug Sandler New Media Summit Connect with Emerald GreenForest Emerald’s Website Emerald on LinkedIn Emerald on Twitter This episode is sponsored by the Creative Age Consulting Group.

Episode 232: It's Time To Go ALL IN (With Doug Meyer & Greg Meredith) "Here's the issue:If you're going to pursue a low odds game, the reality is that at some point the odds will go to zero if you don't commit fully. You're never going to get across that chasm if you're going to keep yourself tethered to one side but that doesn't mean taking an unfounded leap into the wild beyond." Jim Collins gave me that advice on Episode #216 here On The Learning Leader Show. I've fired a lot of bullets over the past three years building this show and this platform while working a full time job at a big international corporation. The purpose of this episode is to announce that I have left my full time job to pursue my passion... My love: This show, this platform, this work, on a full time basis. It's time for me to go All In. The featured leaders tonight are two of my business partners (and friends), Doug Meyer and Greg Meredith.  Doug Meyer is one of the founding partners of Brixey & Meyer.  In his role as Managing Director, Doug serves as a trusted business advisor to Business Owners, CEOs, CFOs and Boards of Advisors, driving value and accountability.  Greg Meredith runs Brixey & Meyer’s Business Advisory Services team, which helps clients with strategic planning, project management, sales strategy, business process and system optimization and more.  I am bringing The Learning Leader brand to Brixey & Meyer full time to run the Leadership Advisory Services team.  In addition to the podcast, I'll be focused on helping clients be more effective leaders, managers, and coaches.  This is done through: consulting projects, 1 on 1 coaching, leadership circles (Mastermind groups), creating written content (book and articles online), and much more.  I could not be more excited to get started!  "Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now." - Naval Ravikant Show Notes: 3:06 - My career, what I've done, why I haven't named the companies I've worked for, who has supported this, who hasn't. 5:05 - Why I'm making this move to do it full time, the first lunch I had with Doug, the impact that lunch had on me, how long this has been in the works, advice that was given to me...

Named one of ten most influential thinkers in the world by MIT, Doug Rushkoff asks some seriously big questions on this episode of Curious Minds. The biggest one is: what if an economy predicated on growth is unsustainable? Growth at companies like General Electric (GE) used to mean jobs for hundreds of thousands of people. That same growth, at companies like Facebook and Google, yields, at most, tens of thousands of jobs. As growth-oriented tech companies absorb more jobs through smarter tech and automation, is this an opportunity to rethink the nature of work, jobs, and the overall economy? Doug Rushkoff asks us to consider that topic in his latest bestselling book, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity. Rushkoff is a professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens College, CUNY. He is the bestselling author of a dozen other books, including Present Shock, Program or Be Programmed, and Life Inc. In this episode, we talk about: Why Doug sees growth as the culprit in our current economy The unmet promise of technology and the long tail for artists and creatives How big data analytics reduces unpredictability and, thereby, innovation Ways more of us can take ownership of the platforms putting us out of work How it is not the job we want but the meaning, purpose, and material benefits work gives Money as a verb How currency tools like blockchain can help us rethink power and authority Twitter as a textbook case of tech success but growth company failure How digital distributism can trump digital industrialism The shift from tech as energizing to energy sucking Ruskhoff also talks about how he thinks about technology use in his own life, including which tools he chooses to use and why.

Today, I welcome Doug Nordman back to the show! Doug is an early retiree (he retired at 41) and his hobby is helping other military personnel improve their financial lives. One of the more interesting aspects of Doug's financial life is his involvement in private business as an angel investor. He's not only involved with the community of investors near him in Hawaii, he's also committed a substantial amount of his savings toward his investments. In this interview you'll learn: Why Doug invests his money in private companies even though the majority of his investments are held in mutual funds. How much money he has made and how many of his investments have gone bust! How to get involved as an angel investor yourself! You'll also learn how to make the decision of rent vs. buy when considering where to live. Enjoy!
