Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I am absolutely thrilled to bring you a special BONUS episode of the What's Next! Podcast, an encore of my LinkedIn Live chat with Dragon's Den Dragon, Michele Romanow! Michele became the youngest Dragon on Dragon's Den–Canada's version of Shark Tank. She has been named to Fortune's "40 Under 40," a "Young Global Leader" by the World Economic Forum, one of Canada's "Most Powerful Women," and Canada's "Angel Investor of the Year." Michele started six companies before her thirty-fifth birthday. She previously co-founded Snap Saves, which was acquired by Groupon. She also co-founded Buytopia, which acquired 10 competitors and is now Emerge Commerce. But the really great news is that she is recently a Unicorn! Clear Co., formally Clear Bank, was recently valued at more than two billion dollars, with more than forty five hundred companies acquired, making them the biggest e-commerce investor in the world. I am so excited to bring you this episode with Michele Romanow on the What's Next! Podcast! THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… entrepreneurs! TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Michele is changing the way companies get investment! As the youngest Dragon on Dragon's Den, she was listening to pitches differently… Michele noticed that her peers weren't paying attention to the same things she was and the fact that every founder that came through was spending money on the same two things: user acquisition and inventory. Two very basic, very scalable things. Michele couldn't understand why and how founders were using the most expensive capital in the world to fund something repeatable and scalable. These were expenses with a fixed return and the equity capital used to fund them became extremely expensive if they did well. So, Michele set out to change the system, to circumvent bias, and create a new model. Learn more about her story, Clear Co, and enter the Dragon's Den with Michele! WHAT I LOVE MOST… What I love most about Michele is that she started six companies before her thirty fifth birthday! Running time: 37:21 Subscribe on iTunes Watch this episode on YouTube!

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I am thrilled to welcome Amy Edmondson to the What's Next! Podcast. Amy is an American scholar of leadership, teaming, and organizational learning who is currently the Novartis Professor of Leadership at the Harvard Business School. She has been recognized by the bi-annual Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers since 2011, and most recently was ranked #3 in 2019; she also received the organization's Breakthrough Idea Award in 2019 and Talent Award in 2017.

I am beyond thrilled to be speaking with Amy Edmondson on the What's Next! Podcast! THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, team members, those afraid to use their voice, and those who are afraid of not having all the answers! TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… We live in a world where expertise is increasingly narrower and deeper than ever before, and Amy wants you to know that it is okay not to know ALL the answers. In fact, NOBODY knows all the answers! The world is changing so fast that even if you knew everything "today," it's a given you wouldn't know everything that there was to know "tomorrow." So, according to Amy, you might as well get comfortable with not knowing and learn to turn it into something positive as opposed to shameful. Being comfortable with not knowing and being open to constantly learning is more critical than ever before in a world that is suddenly, drastically different and requiring more flexibility than ever before. To that end, Amy is tackling what she calls "psychological safety." It's okay to speak up–it's necessary–and it's important to ask for help. There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome. It is incumbent upon great teams and great leaders to create an environment where it is safe, encouraged, and rewarded to take the risk and speak up–even when and especially when it isn't "good news." If you listen people will speak! WHAT I LOVE MOST… There should be a conviction in you that it is okay to speak up and that your voice is welcome.
