439: How to Future-Proof Your Business with Jonathan Brill

My guest today says that, at this moment, rogue waves are forming under your business. Emerging technologies, changing demographics, the data economy, automation, and other trends―the undercurrents of radical, systemic change―are crashing into each other.

When they converge, they’ll produce sea changes that sink companies and wash away entire industries overnight. If your competitor can’t ride out the next wave and you can, you win.

That guest I’m alluding to is Jonathan Brill, and he’s written a book called Rogue Waves: Future-Proof Your Business to Survive & Profit From Radical Change.

In it, he shows you how to prepare your business to survive and thrive through the most radical upheavals.

His book has been called a must-read survival guide that provides the predictive tools you need to take advantage of randomness, turn chaos into profit, and set your company on the course for long-term success.

435: How Anyone Can Turn An Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success with Danny Warshay

There seem to be a lot of college professors writing books these days; or at least I’m interviewing my fair share of them. That many are writing their first (or in some cases second, third, or fourth) book is for good reason. Their research and experiences testing their theories in the classroom is something few of us have the ability to do.

danny warshay

My latest guest is a professor at Brown University. His name is Danny Warshay and he’s written a new book called See, Solve, Scale: How Anyone Can Turn an Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success.

Entrepreneurship, he says, is not a spirit or a gift. It is a process that anyone can learn, and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a solution with impact.

Danny overturns the common misconception that entrepreneurship is a hardwired trait or the sole province of high-flying MBAs, and provides a proven method to identify consequential problems and an accessible process anyone can learn, master and apply to solve them.

In short, you’ll learn how to find and validate a problem, develop an initial small-scale solution, and scale a long-term solution.

433: Why You MUST Write a Book with Honoree Corder

What is the single best tool an entrepreneur needs to build, boost, and grow their business? Win an Olympic Gold Medal? Sure! That’d be great. But apart from that?

Write a book, of course! So says today’s returning guest, Honorée Corder, author of 20-plus books including 2016’s You MUST Write a Book: Boost Your Brand, Get More Business, and Become the Go-To Expert.

Beyond technology, software, social media networks, even advertising and marketing campaigns, Honorée says the biggest and best tool you’ll ever have in your belt is a book with your name on the cover. What’s a book do for you? Let us count the ways…

Authority and Credibility–Nothing establishes your authority faster or better, making it easier to attract investors, clients, and customers.

Brand recognition–Nothing makes your name and your brand easier to recognize, giving you greater reach with no additional overhead.

The ultimate business card–We’re hard-wired to hold on to books, to keep and care for them, and to share them with others. When’s the last time someone did that with your business card?

You Must Write a Book introduces you to these concepts and digs further–revealing not only the benefits of how a book can help you to build and grow your business and your brand but how you can put your ideas on the page.

432: How Creativity Rules the World with Maria Brito

Many people believe—maybe you are one of them—that you’re either born creative or you’re not. Today’s guest suggests that nothing could be further from the truth.

Why is it a room full of school children will say “yes” to the question of whether or not they’re creative, and demonstrate it in myriad ways, only for those that answer similarly to drop dramatically as they age?

I would argue, in part, it’s because school educates out of us our creativity as it forces us all into the same mold (or else).

If that’s you, never fear. You can get it back. Maria Brito, author of How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas Into Gold, illustrates how creativity is merely a series of habits, actions, and attitudes that anyone can develop—regardless of who you are and what you do.

There has never been, she says, a more crucial time than now to develop your creativity and your ability to innovate. Coming up with original ideas of value is today’s most precious resource.
