Episode #230: VR, Media and Metal with Jon Satterley
Jon Satterley is an experienced entertainment & media industry executive and thought leader. I have been recognized as an innovator with expert knowledge of new products, emerging technology and digital business strategy. When he was just 17, Jon started a record label and wound up signing hundreds of bands while studying to get his law degree. Jon led digital strategy for Roadrunner Records: growing from a small independent record company to become one of the world’s leading labels. Today, Jon is the Chief Digital Officer at Village Roadshow, and we’ve been working together on the Xperience Accelerator, a program that brings together startups working with VR/AR and Village to develop new applications for the entertainment industry. We explored lots of questions during this conversation, often going off on tangents, and three things you can expect to learn: Why Jon decided to pursue his record label instead of a career in law and what helped him shun societal expectations in favour of taking the path less traveled How to be a successful intrapreneur in a large organisation; and What the future of VR and AR looks like. Of course, as a big heavy metal fan myself, we also spent some time talking about Jon’s time at Roadrunner Records. Topics discussed: eSports: what it is and where it’s going Jon’s background How to be an intrapreneur at a large company How to get buy in from senior executives The question of morality and emerging technology What the future of VR/AR is Other trends entertainment companies should look out for Metal!

Episode #229: How We F*#cked Up
In the early days of Collective Campus, like most new organisations, we kept ourselves afloat by taking part time jobs on the side and working with a number of small clients who paid us just enough to keep the lights on. After building up enough case studies and collateral working with smaller organisations, we worked our way up and eventually hooked our first big A-list client, a global law firm with over 1,200 employees and revenues in excess of US$1B. Long story short, we f*cked up. In this instalment of Fast Fix Friday, I reveal how we screwed up and what we did about it that was a critical juncture in our organisation's 'growing up'. --- Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Episode #228: Making Better Decisions with Annie Duke
Annie Duke has leveraged her expertise in the science of smart decision making to excel at pursuits as varied as championship poker to public speaking. Her first book for general audiences, “Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All the Facts” has just been released and has become a national bestseller in the US. In this book, Annie reveals to readers the lessons she regularly shares with her corporate audiences, which have been cultivated by combining her academic studies in cognitive psychology with real-life decision making experiences at the poker table. GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only WSOP Tournament of Champions. In 2010, she won the prestigious NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Annie has also made appearances on the Celebrity Apprentice and raised $730,000 for Refugees International. She now spends her time writing, coaching and speaking on a range of topics such as decision fitness, emotional control, productive decision groups and embracing uncertainty. I’m always looking to challenge my own assumptions and make better decisions so I really enjoyed this conversation with Annie. Just some of the many learnings you’ll walk away with include: Why the quality of a decision doesn’t always relate to the quality of an outcome How to avoid decision biases and groupthink How to make good decisions when we don’t have all the facts (we almost never have all the facts) And why asking simple questions like “what’s the worst possible outcome?” can open up your life to new possibilities With that, I bring you the one and only, Annie Duke. Topics discussed: Annie’s poker career The relationship between logic and emotion Working alone together Seek truth, not being ‘right’ Why you will never have all the facts Why your intuition generally doesn’t lead to better decisions The power of counterfactuals The concept of ‘resulting’ and how it plagues decision making How to avoid ‘paralysis analysis’ Planning poker Why you should have strong opinions, weakly held The power of “I don’t know” How to deal with ambiguity How to hire employees who thrive under conditions of uncertainty Why you can’t make your own luck The story of ‘Nick the Greek’ The story of Pete Carroll and Superbowl 49 Why the quality of a decision doesn’t always relate to the quality of an outcome How to avoid decision biases and groupthink How to make good decisions when we don’t have all the facts (we almost never have all the facts) And why asking simple questions like “what’s the worst possible outcome?” can open up your life to new possibilities Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Episode #226: The Hidden Power of Networks with David Burkus
In this episode of Future Squared, I welcome back DAVID BURKUS, named one of the world’s top business thought leaders by Thinkers50 last year. His forthcoming book, FRIEND OF A FRIEND, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections—one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He is also the author of UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and THE MYTHS OF CREATIVITY. David is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and his work has been featured in Fast Company, the Financial Times, Inc magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and CBS This Morning. David’s innovative views on leadership have earned him invitations to speak to leaders from a variety of organizations. He’s delivered keynote speeches and workshops for Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Stryker and governmental and military leaders at the U.S. Naval Academy and Naval Postgraduate School. His TED talk has been viewed over 1.7 million times. When he’s not speaking or writing, David is in the classroom. He is associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University where he was recently named one of the nation’s “Top 40 Under 40 Professors Who Inspire.” I enjoyed reconnecting with David and learned a lot, some of which I applied the day after the interview with positive results. You’ll learn: Why the best way to grow your network might not be by introducing yourself to strangers at cocktail parties, but by finding strength in weak ties Why the biggest opportunities lie, not inside tight knit communities or clusters, but in between them; and And how to 10x the effectiveness of your warm introduction requests With that, welcome back to the show... 220 episodes later, the one and only, David Burkus. --- Topics Discussed: Why the best way to grow your network might not be by introducing yourself to strangers at cocktail parties, but by finding strength in weak ties Why the biggest opportunities lie, not inside tight knit communities or clusters, but in between them; and And how to 10x the effectiveness of your warm introduction requests What to say instead of “so, what do you do?” Why the best networking events have nothing to do with networking How to identify opportunities in your network Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Jane McGonicall and becoming a power broker Tim Ferriss and the illusion of majority How to leverage influencers to amplify your reach and impact Why people who have more than one type of relationship have stronger ties Show Notes: Website: https://davidburkus.com/ Twitter: @davidburkus Bonus: davidburkus.com/future/ Episode #9: http://www.futuresquared.xyz/podcast/episode-9-david-burkus-on-rethinking-business-as-usual Get David's books: Friend of a Friend...: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career: https://amzn.to/2P6Dwv4 The Myths of Creativity: https://amzn.to/2BLlBbN Under New Management: https://amzn.to/2NhKlcR The Portable Guide to Leading Organizations: https://amzn.to/2PGB1RB Vote on a book title at bit.ly/stevesnewbook Join the conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Episode #224: The Science of Lean, DevOps and Building High Performing Organisations with Nicole Forsgren

She is a consultant, expert, and researcher in knowledge management, IT adoption and impacts, and DevOps. In a previous life, she was a professor, sysadmin, and hardware performance analyst.

Her first book, Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps explores the topic of Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations. I had a great time chatting with Nicole and learning about, not only her Swedish ancestry, her favorite ice cream flavour and her love for working out - which might have something to do with the ice cream, but learning more about what makes a high performing team tick. You will learn lots in this conversation, including: Why traditional performance measurement metrics such as utilisation and lines of code are flawed and what to use instead What characteristics differentiate high performing teams from low performing team and how to start embedding these characteristics into your organisation; and How to effectively drive culture change This just scratches the surface of what we discussed so please sit back, walk, run or whatever it is you do when you listen to podcasts and enjoy my conversation with Nicole Forsgren.
