Six Pixels of Separation Podcast

Welcome to episode #786 of Six Pixels of Separation. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #786 - Host: Mitch Joel. My friend, Clint Pulver, is a keynote speaker, author, musician, pilot, and he cares deeply about the workforce. His sweet spot is employee retention. Why do people love their work and the company that they work for? More importantly, what turns them off (and how can your business fix that)? Clint has spent many years helping companies through his work and research as the Undercover Millennial. He has been featured in countless publications and, as a professional drummer, he has appeared in feature films and on America’s Got Talent. In 2020, Clint won an Emmy Award for his short film, Be a Mr. Jensen, which tells the story of how a single moment in time - and one particular mentor - can change the course of someone's life. More recently, he published the book, I Love It Here - How Great Leaders Create Organizations Their People Never Want To Leave. In his book is research and the unscripted truths of the 10,000+ employees he has interviewed as the Undercover Millennial – which unveils the reasons for their lasting loyalty – and what triggers them to head for the exit door.

Welcome to episode #779 of Six Pixels of Separation. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #779 - Host: Mitch Joel. You never know who you are going to meet and become friends with online. Going back to the early days of Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, Siri and beyond, the idea of apps (or skills, as they are called) for these interactive audio platforms has always interested me (so much so, that I was an investor in a voice skills company, and became interested in running it for a short period of time). At the forefront of this space (and other audio platforms and technologies) is Bret Kinsella. Bret is founder, CEO, and research director of Voicebot.ai. He was named commentator of the year by the Alexa Conference in 2019 and is widely cited in media and academic research as an authority on voice assistants and AI. He is also the host of the Voicebot Podcast and editor of the Voice Insider newsletter. I reached out to him several times back when I was investing in the space, but he was too busy to connect. Then, through the power of Clubhouse, we met and became fast friends. Our world continues to evolve. Smart audio, podcasting, bots, and more are becoming a powerful tool for businesses smart enough to understand the potential, opportunity and inevitability of it all. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #778 of Six Pixels of Separation. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #778 - Host: Mitch Joel. Lost in translation. I fear there is no better phrase to explain what has happened to our ability to better communicate since the pandemic took hold. Zoom meetings, using emojis, and cultural shifts have turned an already complex world of communications into one that is ever-more complex (it’s amazing how badly a message can now be received simply because the speaker’s lighting is off). Thankfully, management thinkers like Erica Dhawan are around. Even better, she's tackled this topic in her latest book, Digital Body Language - How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance. Whether it's emails, being ghosted, or trying to understand if that "lol" is really a laugh or sarcasm, Erica has decoded most of this for the rest of us. Erica also wrote, Get Big Things Done - The Power of Connectional Intelligence, back in 2015. Erica is a leadership expert and keynote speaker that helps organizations and leaders innovate faster and further, together. She is the founder of Cotential - a company that has helped leaders and teams leverage twenty-first-century collaboration skills globally. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 56:39.

He started his career in the Clinton White House where he served as a speechwriter. A few years later, he was asked to co-author the national platform for the Democratic Party.
