Six Pixels of Separation Podcast

Welcome to episode #518 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. How many of you have experienced a boss who, literally, changed your life? Someone who helped you accomplish more than you could have ever imagined? The stuff of dreams. A dream boss. These are not unicorns. These mortals exist, and they are living among us. The challenge, of course, is that we simply need that much more of them. Super brain, Sydney Finkelstein, has been studying these leaders and he wrote a book about them: Superbosses - How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent. Sydney Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management, and Associate Dean for Executive Education, at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, where he teaches courses on Leadership and Strategy. He is the Faculty Director of the flagship Tuck Executive Program, and also has experience working with executives at Northwestern, Wharton, Duke, Bocconi, London Business School, Australian Graduate School of Management, Melbourne Business School, Hanoi School of Business, the Chalmers School (Sweden) and the Helsinki School of Economics. He holds degrees from Concordia University and the London School of Economics, as well as a Ph.D. from Columbia University in strategic management. Professor Finkelstein has published 17 books including Why Smart Executives Fail, Think Again, Strategic Leadership, Breakout Strategy and many more. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #517 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. If you can just make them laugh. It's powerful. Even for the most serious of businesses. Adding a component of humor can be a very powerful business advantage. This is the work (and world) of David Nihill. His company, Funny Bizz, exists to add an edge of humour to your content and a mission to abolish boring content. Nihill also runs the Funny Bizz Conference and is the author of Do You Talk Funny - 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker (a great book about adding comedy to your presentation skills).

Welcome to episode #516 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. When it comes to innovation, one of the most provocative voices in the field is Michael Schrage. It may seem obvious to us now that innovation is when consumer's accept new products and services, but this wasn't always a commonly-held belief (until Michael brought it forward). Ever hear of rapid-prototyping? What about simulations and modelling to improve ROI on innovation investments? All of this thinking was brought into our world by Michael. A research fellow at the MIT Sloan School's Center for Digital Business, author of books like The Innovator's Hypothesis, Who Do You Want Your Customers To Become?, Serious Play, Shared Minds and more, he is a legendary business, innovation, technology and marketing mind. It has been said that no one knows more about how to maximize return on investment from innovation processes than Michael Schrage. Personally, I think he's one of the most fascinating people thinking about business today.

Welcome to episode #515 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. This is where I typically wax poetic about this week's guest. This time, I think Farnam Street's chief, curator and smarty pants, Shane Parrish, can best explain who he is: "My goal is to help you go to bed each night smarter than when you woke up. I'll do this by giving you tools, ideas, and frameworks for thinking. I'm not smart enough to figure all of this out myself. I try to master the best of what other people have already figured out. Sounds simple, doesn't it? The best way to do this is to read a lot. And so I make friends with the eminent dead. Along the way I write about what I'm learning." I could not be a bigger fan of the Farnam Street newsletter, and his curation is stunning. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #514 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. He's got a big brain, and he's always thinking about marketing, advertising and brands. You can hear the excitement in his voice. Martin Lindstrom was made for this business. He has a unique sense of curiosity mixed with academics and layers it all on top with science. He doesn't guess why people make the choices that they make. He dives in deep and cracks the nut open as to why. In a world of big data and analytics, Martin's latest book is, Small Data - The Tiny Clues That Uncover Huge Trends, and it bucks the system with his global perspective and pioneering research. He is a New York Times and The Wall Street Journal best-selling author of six groundbreaking books on branding, including Buyology: The Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, BRANDsense, Brandwashed and many more. Small Data will make you rethink those insignificant observations, to help you better understand how overlooking them could be the reason that your brand has not been able to breakthrough.

Welcome to episode #513 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Social media is becoming very complicated. From Prince's death to global news moments, brands are being pushed to be ever-more careful when, how and what they post in social media spaces. Famed marketing author and speaker, David Meerman Scott, coined the phrase "newsjacking." It an opportune moment for brands to capture attention from something major that is happening in the media for their own gain. I'm (somewhat) skeptical of it, but I'm a big fan of David's work. So, what does ethical newsjacking look like, in a world where so many brands don't know their own boundaries? Listen in as the bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing & PR,  The New Rules of Sales & Service, Marketing the Moon, Real-Time Marketing & PR, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead, World Wide Rave, Eyeball Wars and more discusses newsjacking, and why he created an online course on how to master it.

Welcome to episode #512 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. The technology behind Bitcoin is something called Blockchain. Many think of it as a complex new way that technology works and connects information and value to consumers. Legendary digital thinker, Don Tapscott, believes it's going to change our world - much in the same way that he predicted (back in 1994) that we would have a digital economy. For his latest book, Blockchain Revolution, he teamed up with his son, Alex Tapscott. Don wrote books like Wikinomics, Grown Up Digital, and many more that have become seminal books of our digital culture, and he is an advisor to some of the largest corporations and governments in the world. Alex is the founder of Northwest Passage Ventures. For seven years Alex worked to help entrepreneurs raise hundreds of millions of dollars in capital. He is a passionate advocate for the disruptive potential of new technology. Blockchain Revolution has already been called, "an iconic book for these times," and brings us back to the excitement and opportunities that many felt, when the first web browser was introduced. Is the blockchain revolution the future of creating value or will it fall into the wrong hands? Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #511 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Tim Sanders spends his career on the cutting edge. He was an early stage member of Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner's broadcast.com, which had the largest opening day IPO in history. After Yahoo acquired the company, Tim was tapped to lead their ValueLab, which enabled sales teams to close hundreds of millions of dollars of new business through rapid collaboration. By 2001, he rose to the position of Chief Solutions Officer and later, the company's Leadership Coach. In 2005, he founded Deeper Media, which provides consulting and training services for leading companies, trade associations and government agencies. Tim is the author of four books, including the New York Times bestseller Love Is the Killer App. His other books include Today We Are Rich, The Likeability Factor and Saving the World at Work.

Welcome to episode #510 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #510 - Host: Mitch Joel. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top marketing bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of four excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation, Flip The Funnel and Z.E.R.O.) and his latest business venture is, Evol8tion. A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation blog and podcast), we've decided to hold semi-regular conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the digital marketing and advertising landscape. This is our 37th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 37.20), and in this episode, we discuss slacktavism, Facebook, algorithms over humans, virtual reality, Facebook's live video push and much more.

Welcome to episode #509 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #509 - Host: Mitch Joel. There's a reason Michael Bungay Stanier's first book, Do More Great Work, has sold close to 100,000 copies. It's small, but do not let the size of it fool you. If you're stuck. If you're not sure if you're focusing on what's important. You need to read that book. I don't even know how many copies of that book I have passed along to friends and colleagues. Then, Michael asked me to be one of the participants in a compilation book called, End Malaria. All proceeds from the book went to the Malaria No More charity (and that was close to $500,000), while the book wound up hitting #2 on Amazon (plus, it was published on Seth Godin's The Domino Project imprint). Well, Michael does a lot more than publish books that become movements. He spends the bulk of his day running Box Of Crayons - a consultancy to help time-crunched managers do less good work and much more great work. Over the years, he's learned a thing or two. With that, he's back with a brand new book, The Coaching Habit, that has some thoughts on how we can get the best out of ourselves (whether we're coaching someone, coaching ourselves or getting coached).
