The Greatest Time in History to be Smart

Each month, “Lochhead on Different” episodes will explore the need to differentiate people, products, and services in a world that encourages a lot of imitation. A best-selling author, top podcaster, and former tech-industry CMO, Christopher Lochhead is a student of not only business and technology and marketing but also human nature, human folly, human genius, and very human joy.

Episode 5

In this wide-ranging episode, Chris and I discuss how Mary Meeker’s report says over 3.8 billion people are on the internet – and we need to get the other half on it too. We also look at how 34% of workers say they’re engaged – and the rest of them?? We turn to Cutco, a knife company that has the mantra is “Changing lives by selling knives” and how it turned itself into a personal growth company. Then, Chris discusses how your life is like a smile. From from zero to 20 you’re pretty happy, but from 25 to 45, happiness starts to drop off as we build our careers, meet spouses, and collaborate in the manufacture of human beings. Then we begin to come out the other side and the happiness curve goes back up.
