Episode 27: How to Thrive in an Uncertain Future – An Interview with George Chanos “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy You’re going to LOVE this episode!  Today, we interview George J. Chanos who is extremely eloquent, infectiously passionate, and has a lifetime of real-world business experience, as well as perspectives from high levels of public office.  George served as Attorney General of Nevada, where he oversaw the entire state’s justice department. He has even argued, successfully might I add, in front of the United States Supreme Court.   Since leaving office, he has established a career as an accomplished businessman (including Chairman of one of the fastest growing franchises in the country). His two biggest passions are, first, learning about the future and, second, interpreting that future to help younger generations thrive in what will be an era of unprecedented transformation.   In many ways, the future is scary as hell. George tells of the technological tsunami that will revolutionize the world in the next 30 years, and that we’re already knee-deep in it without even knowing. In his latest book 'Millennial Samurai', George equips younger generations with the concepts, blueprints, and resources to find opportunity and gain a competitive edge.   Given the uncertainty we’re facing right now with COVID-19, I thought this was great timing to have him on the show. In this wide-ranging interview, we cover: ✔️ Politics ✔️ Quarantine (and Covid-19) ✔️ Artificial intelligence ✔️ How automation is disrupting industries ✔️ Incredible technology that is transforming the world ✔️ And a LOT more!  George also shares the one thing that he believes is the biggest existential thread for the entire world – and, no, it’s not climate change or rogue viruses like COVID-19. In addition, he helps us understand what’s going on politically to make sense of how the power shifts will play out.  If you want a competitive edge for your business and the future, this episode is a must listen.    __   BLOG version of this episode: https://jameswhitt.com/newsletters/  PODCAST version of this episode: https://anchor.fm/james-whittaker/  Hit 'Subscribe' and get access to episodes as soon as they're released!  __  Resources/links mentioned:  ⚔️ Millennial Samurai: A Mindset for the 21st Century http://millennialsamurai.com/  📚 Seize Your Destiny https://www.amazon.com/Seize-Your-Destiny-Successful-Meaningful-ebook-dp-B01D6DZKTS/dp/B01D6DZKTS/  🎞️ The Neuroanatomical Transformation of the Teenage Brain: Jill Bolte Taylor https://youtu.be/PzT_SBl31-s  🌐 George J.

Episode 26: From Failure to Fable — An Interview with Michael Fox “If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.” – Steve Jobs I'm REALLY excited for you to hear this one! Eleven years ago, Michael Fox started the world’s first custom women’s shoe company Shoes of Prey that raised USD $25 million and partnered with leading companies like Nordstrom. He was on top of the world. Then in 2018 — after a DECADE of tireless work — his business, marriage, and life collapsed. He lost it all. Today, just two years later, he is the founder of a heart-centered business in the alternative meat space, Fable Food Co, with his mission of ending industrial agriculture and transforming fine dining. The business launched in partnership with one of the world’s most acclaimed chefs, Heston Blumenthal, and is absolutely crushing it 🚀 Literally one year after his whole world unraveled, he had the BEST year of his life. "How?" I hear you ask!  It's a good question, and one we'll get into in this episode!  We'll also go through: ✔️ How to start a business ✔️ How to raise money ✔️ How to be happy ✔️ How to respond to criticism ✔️ How to dust yourself off from failure ✔️ How to partner with the most accomplished people on the planet ✔️ And a LOT more! If you need some inspiration and direction in this uncertain time, make THIS episode a priority.  __ BLOG version: https://jameswhitt.com/newsletters/  YOUTUBE version: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIR8Akfb5lkRYn1PRlnJLjd5Ba9rL5Wm6      PODCAST version: https://anchor.fm/james-whittaker/   __ ANNOUNCEMENT: We Are Podcast House Sessions 🏠  This May, join 50+ of the world’s biggest names in entrepreneurship, marketing, and podcasting who will reveal ALL their secrets to turbocharging your business and making an impact in 2020 and beyond 🚀⁣⁣  https://mustamplify.com/we-are-podcast/ __ RESOURCES / LINKS MENTIONED: 📝 Michael Fox blog on Medium: https://medium.com/@mmmichaelfox 👠 The Shoes of Prey Journey Ends (via Michael's blog): https://medium.com/@mmmichaelfox/the-shoes-of-prey-journey-ends-34634925f1f 🍴 Fable Food Co: https://fablefood.co/ 🐦Michael Fox on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mmmichaelfox 🎟️ We Are Podcast House Sessions: ⁣⁣https://mustamplify.com/we-are-podcast/ 🔥 Win the Day Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WinTheDayJW/ __ 'Win the Day with James Whittaker' is available on YouTube, Spotify, Google, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere else you can find podcasts.

Episode 21: You Gotta Risk It to Get the Biscuit “The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” — Mark Zuckerberg In this episode we’re going to talk about something that sounds negative but is actually the key to unlock pretty much EVERYTHING you want in life.  We share lessons from Mark Zuckerberg (the world's youngest self-made billionaire) and Jeff Bezos (arguably the world's most renowned CEO) to help you reframe risk and failure in your own life. We also explore how anything we do in our pursuit of growth and self-mastery carries the risk of failure in the short-term, but it should not be tainted with the same brush of what are generally just ‘bad decisions.'
