Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy As human beings we are hard-wired to the fight or flight response - we move towards that which will bring us joy and away from that which will bring us pain. These instincts trace their origins back to a time when we were hunter-gatherers, a time when we were at one with the wild and had to watch our every step in order to simply survive. But times have changed and instead of running from predators, we're running from rejection. Hear why you should make friends with no. ---   I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future   Jamie Wheal is Executive Director of Flow Genome Project which he heads up alongside Steven Kotler, who you might know from books such as The Rise of Superman and Abundance, co-written with Peter Diamandis. Jamie is a leading expert on the neuro-physiology of human performance. His work ranges from Fortune 500 companies like Cisco, Google, and Nike, to the U.S. Naval War College and Red Bull. He combines a background in expeditionary leadership, wilderness medicine and surf rescue, with over a decade advising high-growth companies on strategy, execution and leadership. He speaks to diverse and high-performing communities such as Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), Summit Series, and MaiTai Global on the intersection of science and high performance. At the Flow Genome Project, he leads a team of the world’s top scientists, athletes and artists dedicated to mapping the genome of the peak-performance state known as Flow. Jamie and Steven have co-penned their new book Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work, out next month. The book explores four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Red Bull’s training center, Nike’s innovation team, and the United Nations’ Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide. Listeners will know I’m a big believer in the power of flow and a huge fan of co-author Steven Kotler’s earlier work, The Rise of Superman - and if you haven’t listened to it already, check out episode #15 on how flow can help you increase productivity by 500%. This episode was jam packed with value bombs. Learn how to find your optimal creative state using everything from exercise and meditation to micro-dosing on LSD and hallucinogens!   Topics Covered: - What is flow - The neuroscience of flow, meditative, psychedelic and peak sexual states - What inhibits you from getting into your optimal creative state - Why brainstorming and all-nighters don't really work - Anandamide: the creativity molecule, why you need it to be creative and how to increase your production of it - Why the human mind only consciously processes 0.002% of its surroundings and how to tap into the other 99.998% - Micro-dosing on psychedelics and hallucinogens - How to create the optimal creative environment for your team - Is biohacking worth it? - Spiritual materialism - Getting back into the flow state after being interrupted - Priming practices to optimise your morning and day   Show Notes: 1) Flow Genome Project: flowgenomeproject.com 2) Flow Genome Project Facebook Page: facebook.com/Flowgenome 3) Stealing Fire website: stealingfirebook.com 4) Stealing Fire on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NSSg3S   ---   I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy This Sunday we’ll be bringing you an interview with Jamie Wheal, co-founder of The Flow Genome Project, alongside Steven Kotler who wrote some books I’m sure many of the listeners of this show will know such as The Rise Of Superman and of course Abundance, which was co-written with Dr Peter Diamandis who will also be on the show in coming weeks. We talked about all of the weird and wonderful things that people do to get them into an optimal state including biohacking and one underlying theme that emerged from this conversation was that we should never confuse a means to an end with being an end in itself, which is a trap that can be easy to fall into. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I explore this topic and leave you with a question to ponder before you head off for the weekend. --- I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy f you’re not failing, you’re not innovating. Elon Musk’s words are echoed by most successful entrepreneurs and corporate innovators. If you’re not willing to fail, then you will only ever embark upon safe, incremental improvements, where you have all the answers and therefore can’t fail. However, in today’s rapidly moving environment yesterday’s answers are fast becoming redundant and tomorrow’s are mostly unknown. The only way to unlock the answers is by doing, failing and learning from your mistakes. But failure, done incorrectly, can cost companies millions. This is why it’s important to optimise the Return on Failure (RoF) in order to support management buy-in, optimise learnings and increase an organisation’s likelihood of success when it comes to innovation. SO how do we optimise RoF? Listen to this episode of Fast Fix Friday to find out!

Tim Harford, a renowned economist and bestselling author, dives deep into the transformative power of messiness in our lives. He discusses how chaos can spark creativity and innovation, using examples from jazz and Black Sabbath. Harford argues that clean organizations often move slowly and that embracing disorder fosters growth and problem-solving. He also touches on the effects of social media on political polarization and the importance of continuous reflection for personal and organizational development.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy Corporate legal and compliance (L&C) teams are usually considered the very antithesis of corporate innovation. The perennial “no” amidst a wide-eyed crowd enthusiastic with the prospect of shaking up the status quo and creating something new. It is not without reason. Established organisations have all implemented systems, processes and recruited people to keep the business afloat and keep it delivering on a repeatable and scaleable business model. For organisations in industries such as healthcare and financial services, this goes one step further to ensuring that the delivery of this business model does not contravene any governing regulation. While startups can often avoid the attention of regulators while they are small but as they find traction, grow and become more profitable, is is far more likely that they will capture the attention of regulators, as UBER and Airbnb discovered during their growth curve. The cost can often be hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in penalties, reputational damage, loss of business and worst of all a suspension or revocation of license to operate. So how then do organisations with regulators watching over their every move run experiments to test new ideas, a process fundamental to the science of innovation?
