Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation, explores the art of building trust, fostering collaboration, and tackling complex global challenges with actionable strategies. He shares insights from his vast experience in philanthropy, public service, and humanitarian efforts. Zooming In and Out to Drive Change: Dr. Shah highlights the importance of balancing a big-picture vision with attention to detail. Drawing from his work in crisis response and large-scale development, he explains how effective leaders can "zoom in" to address immediate challenges while "zooming out" to orchestrate transformative, long-term impact. Building Trust in a Skeptical World: Trust is at an all-time low, and Dr. Shah discusses how to bridge divides through personal relationships and shared values. He recounts efforts to foster bipartisan cooperation on global food security and emphasizes that trust begins with authenticity and vulnerability. Simplifying Complexity to Inspire Action: Complex issues can often discourage engagement. Dr. Shah shares how simplifying problems—like creating accessible ways for people to contribute during crises—can mobilize communities and drive meaningful progress. He underscores that simplicity is key to overcoming confusion and fostering trust. ➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com  YouTube: https://youtu.be/36T5PHfOMxYApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-rajiv-j-shah-president-at-the-rockefeller/id1484783544?i=1000632944789Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6CrUcorixgH8dSsDOsqaca?si=b75be994937447a2 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclarySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Partnering with his former schoolmate Efraim Diveroli, their Miami-based company AEY Inc. rapidly transformed into a major military contractor – until their empire came crashing down amid allegations of fraud and illegal arms trafficking from Chinese and Eastern European sources.After pleading guilty and serving house arrest, Packouz traded guns for guitars, reinventing himself in the music tech world. He founded Singular Sound and created the BeatBuddy, a revolutionary drum machine that helped wash away his reputation as an international arms dealer. His wild journey from weapons trafficking to musical innovation later inspired the 2016 Todd Phillips film 'War Dogs,' starring Miles Teller as Packouz. ➡️ Show Links       https://www.instagram.com/davidpackouz/https://x.com/DavidPackouz/https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-packouz-7268929/ ➡️ Podcast SponsorsHubspot - https://hubspot.com/  Stan - https://join.stan.store/scottdclaryBusiness Made Simple Podcast - https://businessmadesimple.comNetSuite — https://netsuite.com/scottclary/Indeed - https://indeed.com/claryRange Rover Sport - https://www.landroverusa.com/CIBC Innovation Banking Podcast - https://www.innovationbanking.cibc.com/podcasts/LinkedIn Jobs - https://linkedin.com/excellence ➡️ Talking Points00:00 - Intro02:41 - David’s Journey Begins07:54 - Choosing Culture Over Religion15:30 - First Steps in Business26:10 - Entering the Arms Trade30:45 - Selling to the Government33:13 - Red Flags in a Partner41:07 - Big Arms Deals50:20 - The $300M Deal1:00:00 - Sponsor: Business Made Simple Podcast1:00:30 - Fact vs. Fiction in War Dogs1:04:04 - What Went Wrong in the Deal1:30:58 - Why the Feds Came After David1:37:30 - Preparing for House Arrest1:55:00 - Finding a Market for BeatBuddy1:56:54 - Sponsor: Range Rover Sport1:58:29 - BeatBuddy’s Secret to Success2:00:33 - Selling and Marketing Music Tech2:06:05 - Spotting a Winning Product2:12:00 - Fixing Problems: Software vs. Hardware2:14:27 - Mastering Behavior Change2:16:30 - Marketing to the Masses2:18:24 - Making One-Time Sales Profitable2:20:42 - Managing Multiple Businesses2:26:51 - Will David Sell His Companies?2:29:17 - Lessons from Arms Dealing2:52:55 - Who Can Do Government Contracting?2:56:58 - War Dogs Academy: Where to Start3:05:20 - Why the Government is a Dream Client3:14:00 - Advice to My 20-Year-Old SelfSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
