Future Squared with Steve Glaveski

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future We recently hosted a small party with some of our friends here at Collective Campus in Melbourne and after about 4 glasses of Gray Goose I couldn’t help but do the rounds and ask people in attendance, most of whom are either building startups, are working with emerging tech or are navigating the tangled web of corporate innovation, what kinds of technologies get them most excited about 2017. This came about 4 or so glasses of Gray Gose into the evening so I slur my words or sound a little too excited, you’ll just have to forgive me.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listeners of this show will know that one of the projects we spend some time on is Lemonade Stand, a children’s entrepreneurship program we’ve run across Australia and more recently in Singapore, designed to inspire kids with the entrpereneurial mindset in order to help them become more adaptable in a time where more than half of today’s jobs are set to be replaced in the next 10 to 15 years and today’s kids face iincreasingly uncertain futures. Just this week one of our 11 year old alums sent me an email and I just had to share it because it demonstrates what kids are capable of when we give them a bit of direction and a whole lot of inspiration. With barriers to entry for ANYONE wanting to start a business being as low as they are today, this email proves that no matter who you are, how old you are, what your personal circumstances, the only thing that stands between you and your dreams is attitude.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future I recently returned from a business meets leisure trip to Singapore and Vietnam where I had the opportunity to learn a little more about the latter's history, in particular that pertaining to the Vietnam War, a war that the under-resourced North Vietnamese won against the might of the Americans and its Allies. Large organisations with the vast resources and figurative firepower at their disposal shouldn’t underestimate is what an environment of scarce resources, paired with an incredibly strong mindset can do. In this episode, I discuss the ingenuity of the North Vietnamese and the number one characteristic that separates successful entrepreneurs and innovators from the pack.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Ryan Blair is a serial entrepreneur and self-made millionaire who had nothing to lose and everything to gain. At just 21 years old, Blair founded his first company, 24/7 Tech, and by the age of 34, he has founded and sold numerous businesses for hundreds of millions of dollars. In August 2011, Blair authored the New York Times Best Seller, "Nothing To Lose and Everything To Gain: How I Went From Gang Member To Multimillionaire Entrepreneur." Uncensored and raw in his account of growing up in the face of adversity, Blair effectively imparts lessons learned from obstacles faced and provides a roadmap for entrepreneurial success. His biggest endeavor yet has been the overhaul of ViSalus Sciences, a company that manufactures weight loss and nutritional supplement products. Blair originally sold the company, but within just a few months, due to the recession, ViSalus was within one month from having to declare bankruptcy. As CEO, Blair went all-in, personally investing his last million dollars on a new business model that would later revolutionize the 118 billion dollar direct selling industry. In just 21 months, ViSalus went from 600,000 to 30 million dollars in monthly sales and is still climbing. Blair regularly appears as a business expert on national television networks such as CNBC, MSNBC, and Fox. He has also been featured in major publications including Fortune Magazine, BusinessWeek, Forbes Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Blair is also a contributor for the Financial Times and took a turn in movie production serving as Executive Producer of Man in the Glass: The Dale Brown Story, an award winning documentary about the legendary LSU Basketball Coach. Blair's captivating story was also a bestseller in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and Inc. Magazine, amongst others. Through a candid and unfiltered voice, Nothing to Lose speaks to everyone, from struggling youth to thriving businessmen alike, illustrating how to turn failures into successes.   Topics Covered: - Ryan’s Journey (Gang members, a violent father, family in jail and his first kiss dying in a drive-by, right through to starting and running multi-million dollar companies) - Ryan’s Books - Rockbottom to Rockstar and Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain. - Unintended consequences of negative reenforcement - Seeing obstacles as opportunities - Humility, ego, self-assuredness and insecurity - Going Bankrupt - #one project - The impact of AI on improving learning outcomes and education, especially for children with traditional learning disabilities - Don't believe your own hype - Focus on knowing when to say "no" - How Steve Jobs helped Ryan through his darkest moments - How to instill hunger and humility in children growing up in the Hollywood Hills with a Ferrari in the driveway - Why you should ask good questions - Ryan’s Top 3 pieces career advice - Man In The Glass documentary   Show Notes: Ryan’s Website - www.ryanblair.com/ Ryan’s Twitter - twitter.com/RyanBlair Ryan’s LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/ryanblair Nothing to Lose: The Documentary - www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-_Ng3Tul8g Ryan’s first book: Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain - https://amzn.to/2DnbudI Ryan’s second book: Rock Bottom to Rock Star - https://amzn.to/2Dh5mUt Steve Jobs blog - www.ryanblair.com/how-steve-jobs-helped- me-through- my-rock- bottom-moment/ --- I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Apologies for the audio quality of this episode - recorded in my Airbnb'd apartment in downtown Singapore via my laptop mic (yes, I forgot to pack my headset...fail). So why do developing countries like Vietnam command ubiquitous wireless internet access while countries like Australia don't?
