Order my first book here: https://amzn.eu/d/eCfijRuIn this latest episode of Figuring Out Podcast we are in conversation with Toshan Tamhane, an avid adventurer who lives with 1 aim - “regret minimization - you only live once”.He followed the conventional IIM-A to consulting path - spent 18+ years at McKinsey across 55+ countries, advising billionaires, making deals, and building businesses. Then, a bit bored and a bit reflective, I ventured into traditional corporate roles with a passion for investing, M&As, digital builds & sustainability.Currently trying to make the full use of 24 hours every day, I also invest in start-ups (~30+ investments), teach in B-schools, serve as an active Board member, and write extensively.Managing 2 kids (and my wife) is an adventure of a different order. To do this efficiently, he keeps himself fit by climbing mountains in Nepal & the Alps as well as practicing intense sports (kickboxing, bouldering, capoeira, running marathons).Lastly, he tries to meet and learn from at least 1 person every week - that's 52 intense conversations.Will you be the next?• • •🎧 Stream Figuring Out episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/736rhmW7vilNgkFFo8aDz4📺 Watch Figuring Out episodes on YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE0Jo6NF_JYO5-phess8GKafKMtPv3tfZ☑️ Subscribe to Figuring Out Clips:https://www.youtube.com/c/FiguringOutClips• • •Toshan's Social Media Handles ⤵︎LinkedIn: Toshan Tamhanehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toshan-tamhane-b3b641/Twitter: @TamhaneToshanhttps://twitter.com/TamhaneToshan0:00 How Steve Redgrave became 5x Olympic Champion 4:33 Toshan’s Sports role model8:13 How important is attention to detail 12:40 What does Toshan Tamhane do13:45 What exactly does a CSO do? 15:30 The most important skill for a CSO 16:47 What role does Raj have in his startup 17:56 How Steve Jobs vision led to Apple’s success19:05 Alex Ferguson’s role in Manchester United’s Success20:40 3 books every aspiring CEO should read 28:20 Do books help in real life? 29:35 3 best books that Raj has read31:40 What does a CFO do? 38:05 What does a COO do? 40:35 Best books for CFO and COO42:50 difference between Startups and Corporate48:40 Why failed startups are important 50:40 Why a startup shouldn’t chase a big market52:00 Should you follow trends or passion in Business?56:15 Founder vs Market in a Business 1:00:00 Peter Thiel’s Unconventional School 1:01:00 How gut feeling can turn into a business1:04:25 Most important functions of a startup 1:06:45 How to develop problem solving skills1:17:50 Good vs Bad problem solvers 1:23:30 Why are their 2 Mafias in India 1:28:30 How can people get CEO skills?1:33:35 Toshan’s top 3 learnings 1:38:50 Why and When do businesses need consulting1:45:45 The right way to scale a business 1:53:15 Closing the loop About Raj ShamaniRaj Shamani is an Entrepreneur at heart that explains his expertise in Business Content Creation & Public Speaking.
