Welcome to Future Squared for episode #211, our first guest interview of the year. I’m absolutely psyched to be bringing you Adam Alter.   Adam is an Associate Professor of Marketing and Psychology at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and the author of Drunk Tank Pink, a New York Times bestseller about the forces that shape how we think, feel, and behave, and Irresistible, a book about the rise of tech addiction and what we should do about it.   Alter was recently included in the Poets and Quants “40 Most Outstanding Business School Professors under 40 in the World,” and has written for the New York Times, New Yorker, Wired, Washington Post, and The Atlantic, among other publications. He has shared his ideas at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and with dozens of companies around the world.   Alter received his Bachelor of Science with Honors in Psychology from the University of New South Wales and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from Princeton University, where he held the Charlotte Elizabeth Procter Honorific Dissertation Fellowship and a Fellowship in the Woodrow Wilson Society of Scholars.   We cover a lot of ground in this episode but expect to learn: How software companies are deliberately designing technology to exploit a vulnerability in human psychology How big a problem tech addiction is and its impact on our productivity, mental wellbeing and experience of life What practical steps we can take to counteract tech addiction and take back our time   This is one of those episodes that can raise the human consciousness and change your relationship with not only technology, but by virtue of that, the work you do and the people in your life so strap yourself in for an enlightening conversation with the one and only, Adam Alter.   Topics discussed: How big a problem is tech addiction? How much time people spend using their phone each day Strategies software firms use to engineer addictive technology The adverse impact on creativity and innovation The mental implications of tech addiction Children and tech Why Silicon Valley executives don’t let their kids use tablets What tech addiction means for productivity How some companies are engineering their email servers to mitigate tech addiction and improve employee welfare Why software companies are forced to do ‘whatever it takes’ to hit targets and meet investor and society’s definition of success Why boredom is good for us The instant gratification generation How the window to combat this addiction is short as generational shifts take hold What we can do to mitigate the adverse effects of technology in our lives and be its master rather than its slave   Show notes: Adam’s website: www.adamalterauthor.com   Adam’s Twitter: @adamleealter Adam’s books:  Irresistible: https://amzn.to/2wYqfxl Drunk Tank Pink: https://amzn.to/2QhEXbG Adam’s TED talk: www.ted.com/talks/adam_alter_why_our_screens_make_us_less_happy Our new Future Squared Facebook group: www.facebook.com/futuresquaredpodcast Kevin Kelly on Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz/podcast/episode-161-kevin-kelly-on-the-inevitable Bradley Stulberg on Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz/podcast/episode-175-peak-performance-with-brad-stulberg   Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Welcome back for another big year of Future Squared and a very happy new year to you, I hope that this year brings you prosperity, growth, fullfillment and fun both in your professional and personal life! In the very first instalment of Fast Fix Friday for the year, I thought it would make sense to talk about your goals for the year - not only how to set them but some things you might want to put into place to help you achieve them! We’ve all made resolutions, or quote unquote committed to achieving certain goals in the past, but often fallen short - I’ve talked about cognitive biases in previous episodes of the show, and the optimist illusion, which bitcoin and cryptocurrency expert Andreas Antonopolous reminded us of in episode #167, often lulls us into thinking we’ll achieve said goals and therefore we rely too much on willpower, which oftentimes, especially when there’s so many other things going on in our lives, simply isn’t enough. In this episode, I talk setting goals and putting in place measures of accountability and creating the right environment to help you achieve them!

Welcome back for episode #207 of Future Squared for what is the last instalment of Fast Fix Friday, in fact the last instalment of Future Squared for the year. 2017 was a huge year for the entire team here at Collective Campus. Before I get into this week’s fast fix insights, I’d just like to extend a very warm thank you for listening this year. Without you, this show simply wouldn’t exist because there would be no purpose in it existing. --- “There is nothing worse than doing the wrong things right” - Peter Drucker. In recent times when Eric Ries met with senior executives at Toyota, famed for their lean production system, they echoed Drucker’s words and said “we’ve got a system for efficiently producing widgets but we don’t have a system for deciding what to produce in the first place”. Yes, whatever decision you are making in life it’s important to determine whether you are focusing on the right decision in the first place. Thus is the nature of today's instalment of Fast Fix Friday.  --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog  ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Like us?  Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski ‍ It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating.  ‍ To sign up to our mailing list head to www.futuresquared.xyz For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecamp.us GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.

Every day we’re tasked with making decisions. Most of the time, these decisions are small (like deciding whether or not to floss today). However, small things done consistently poorly versus consistently well over the long-term can have a devastating impact on where you end up, whether in business or in life. It’s kind of like the power of compound interest. I’m no dentist but it’s pretty common knowledge that if you decide not to floss every single day then you’re staring down the barrel of bleeding gums, halitosis, premature tooth loss and yellow teeth, not to mention the link made between flossing and cancer prevention. Similarly, within the context of the office, if I decide to check my email every 10 minutes it might seem like no big deal. “It only takes a second!” you insist. But if checking my email, every 10 minutes, every single day, means that I’m constantly distracted by responding to other people’s demands on my time, and I never give my brain the space to get into ‘the zone’ and engage in what author Cal Newport calls deep work - which is where most worthwhile work is done - then over the long-term I’m unlikely to move the needle on any significant commercial or creative pursuits. For more on getting into and staying in the zone, check out How To Increase Your Productivity by 500%   Yet, how often do we really think through our decisions as opposed to base them on how we’re feeling in that precise moment, by past experiences, by jumping to conclusions, through groupthink, by choosing whatever decision requires the least thinking or falling victim to one of the other 32 cognitive biases that plague our decision making. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I'll provide one way we go about making decisions at Collective Campus, which admittedly, works best when working in a team of at least three trustworthy, radically honest people who have enough experience in said areas to facilitate a constructive process. That’s not to say you can’t use it when making your own decisions. I do all the time (as somebody who suffers from FOMO, has a tendency to chase furry rabbits and struggles with the plethora of choices on a Mexican restaurant menu, I have no choice but to use this method), and it’s a better approach than how I’ve made the majority of decisions in my 34 years on this planet. I’m not suggesting it’s perfect but I’d go as far as saying that it’s better than the way more than 99% of decisions are made based as it aims to mitigate many of those limitations of the mind and of the environment I outlined earlier. This framework tries to strike the fine balance between making sensical, rational decisions and analysis by paralysis, something that a fast moving, fast growing company like ours can ill afford. --- 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!

Tim O’Reilly popularised the terms Open Source and Web 2.0 He is the founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media which delivers online learning, publishes books, runs conferences, urges companies to create more value than they capture, and tries to change the world by spreading and amplifying the knowledge of innovators.Tim has a history of convening conversations that reshape the computer industry. In 1998, he organized the meeting where the term “open source software” was agreed on, and helped the business world understand its importance. In 2004, with the Web 2.0 Summit, he defined how “Web 2.0” represented not only the resurgence of the web after the dot com bust, but a new model for the computer industry, based on big data, collective intelligence, and the internet as a platform. In 2009, with his “Gov 2.0 Summit,” he framed a conversation about the modernization of government technology that has shaped policy and spawned initiatives at the Federal, State, and local level, and around the world. He has now turned his attention to implications of AI, the on-demand economy, and other technologies that are transforming the nature of work and the future shape of the business world. This is the subject of his new book WTF: What’s the Future and Why It’s Up to Us.In addition to his role at O’Reilly Media, Tim is a partner at early stage venture firm O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV) and on the boards of Maker Media, Code for America, PeerJ, Civis Analytics, and PopVox. Expect to learn a hell of a lot in today’s conversation and prepare to listen to it multiple times to capture as much value from it as you can. Three key things you will learn: Tim’s views on net neutrality What companies absolutely need to be doing to best prepare for the new economy; and What Tim’s views are on whether the fourth industrial revolution will leave most of us unemployed or not Expect to learn that, and more, in this conversation, with the one and only Tim O’Reilly.   Topics Discussed: The Book: What’s the Future and Why It’s Up To Us Whether companies like Amazon and Facebook are capturing more value than they’re creating and are they becoming dangerously monopolistic Why traditional maps of the world such as financial statements and short-term shareholder value need to be revisited What Tim thinks about the FCC winding back net neutrality What businesses need to think about to map out their business model for the next economy Will technology take our jobs?

Collective Campus in its third year now and in that time I’m proud to say that, unlike other consultancies and education providers that have come (and gone already in many cases), we didn’t start out with fundraising as a key priority. It still isn’t. We started by focusing on finding our value proposition and delivering on it in a cashflow positive way. Over the course of the first 18 months we built a seven figure business, then with what was just a team of four (soon to be a team of nine), but the purpose of this blog is not to chest-beat, it is to paint a picture and deliver some important lessons. By not tapping into funding early, we were operating under conditions of serious constraint. Both my co-founder Sean and I didn’t pay ourselves anything in the first 12 months of operating, opting instead for side gigs and part time shows to keep the lights on - literally - and we had to be creative with hiring, incentivisation and marketing - opting for free third party platforms and quid pro quo arrangements where possible. Most of all, we ran countless short and fast experiments across our entire business model - and still do to this very day - across product, service, customer segment, distribution channel, price point, marketing channel, target geography, sales strategy, messaging and so on, in order to land on a model that delivered value to customers and therefore also created monetisable value for us. But because we hadn’t taken on external funding, we had the freedom to try different things and fundamentally decide one day to change the direction of the company entirely by ditching public facing workshops and instead focusing on corporate consulting, training and accelerator programs. There are significant lessons in this not only for startups but also for corporate innovation teams who often seek out funding, way beyond what is necessary - often through business cases - to build and test ideas, when far less would not only suffice but would be far more likely to get people thinking and acting like resource constrained early stage entrepreneurs, and therefore result in a more diligent application of those dollars and a higher likelihood of finding product market fit for new ideas. This isn’t to say that you can’t do that if you take on funding early, but oftentimes, taking on especially large amounts of funding early on can be a curse dressed up as a blessing. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday we unpack the five ways that investment can KILL innovation. --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Perry Marshall is one of the world's most expensive and sought-after business consultants, endorsed by FORBES, INC Magazine, and the most respected entrepreneurs in the world. Clients in 300 industries seek his capacity to integrate sales, engineering, art and psychology. He founded the $5 million Evolution 2.0 Prize, staffed by judges from Harvard, Oxford and MIT. The prize aims to solve one of the leading mysteries in science.   His Google AdWords books laid the foundations for the $100 billion Pay Per Click industry. Techniques he pioneered are best practices today. More recently, he's turned "80/20" into a verb. 80/20 is not just a fact *about* your business, it's an action you take *on* your business. His works include the world's most popular book on web advertising, Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords, 80/20 Sales & Marketing; Ultimate Guide to Facebook Advertising and Ultimate Guide to Local Business Marketing. These are textbooks at a number of universities. Direct Marketing maverick Dan Kennedy says, “If you don’t know who Perry Marshall is — unforgivable. Perry’s an honest man in a field rife with charlatans.” He wrote Industrial Ethernet, and his book Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design applies his digital expertise to science's most debated question. I started off with every intention of exploring Perry’s books on Facebook and Google advertising but we quickly went off on a number of otherwise rewarding tangents as you’ll discover.   We explored: The blurring of the lines between sales and marketing Why a little bit better or a little bit cheaper is a fatal combination The number one question that we, as human beings, should be asking How startups often try to scale prematurely before finding product market fit; and How to unlock the  different emotional hooks and motivations for buying You’ll learn that and much more in today’s conversation with the one and only Perry Marshall.   Topics discussed: Inbound lead generation and direct marketing How Facebook has finally got its act together as a marketing platform Why you shouldn’t quote and what to do instead Why the problem you’re solving usually isn’t the problem at all The person asking good questions is usually in the lead Why a little bit better or a little bit cheaper is a fatal combination Why you need to be “500%” better and what that means Underserved and over-served markets Why we over-estimate what we can do in 6 months and underestimate what we can do in 6 years How most people are doing social media wrong The value of AB testing across many potential variables and assumptions Unlocking different emotional hooks and motivations for buying The blurring of the lines between sales and marketing How to maintain cadence of a fast moving, experiment driven sales and marketing team in a departmentally silo’d large organisation The power of osmotic communication Why understanding where information comes from is critical Most people just solve the problems they know they can solve Why we should be asking questions like “what is the problem nobody thinks anybody can solve?” The US$5M Evolution 2.0 Prize   Show Notes: Get Perry’s books:  Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords: https://amzn.to/2Qly0WY Ultimate Guide to Facebook Advertising: https://amzn.to/2oXGEOX 80/20 Sales and Marketing: https://amzn.to/2x5wcss Evolution 2.0: https://amzn.to/2NAISBR Ultimate Guide to Local Business Marketing: https://amzn.to/2Qm4SPp Web: Perrymarshall.com Twitter: @perrymarshall Web: Perrymarshall.com/8020 Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

On this podcast I’ve been fortunate enough to speak to a lot of thought leaders, and what becomes clear, after having spoken to almost 100 of them so far, is that no matter how educated, experienced or accomplished they are, oftentimes, they hold contradictory views. And these views are often colored by the circles they run in, their associates, the information they consume and so on. We all make decisions based on the evidence presented, based on past experience, based on belief systems we’ve grown up with and based on over 100 cognitive biases that plague our decision making. In this instalment of Fast Fix Friday, I talk the most valuable thing I've learned hosting this podcast.  ----- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog  ‍ If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?  ‍ It'd make our day if you took 1 minute to show some love on iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud by subscribing, sharing and giving us a 5 star rating.  ‍ To sign up to our mailing list head to www.futuresquared.xyz For more information on Collective Campus, our innovation hub, school and consultancy based in Australia and Singapore check out www.collectivecamp.us GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

As you may know Collective Campus is powering the Charter Hall PropTech Accelerator, Asia-Pac’s first proptech startup accelerator. As part of the promotion for the program, I recently hit the road and facilitated roadshows in Sydney and Melbourne, hosting panels in both cities. In this episode of Future Squared, I bring you our Melbourne panel discussion which took place at Collective Campus and featured Gabrielle McMillan of Equiem, Josh Rowe of realAs, David Hodges of Loc8 and of course, Aidan Coleman, CIO/CTO of Charter Hall. I’ll dig a little deeper into the bios of each of our panelists during the conversation. In today’s conversation we not only discuss what the future of real estate looks like but also uncover insights on what it takes to get a startup from zero to one. If you’d like to find out more about the Charter Hall accelerator program and apply you can do so at www.charterhallaccelerator.cc So with that, enjoy this conversation on the future of real estate. Topics discussed: why Charter Hall is partnering with Collective Campus to work with proptech startups what startups can expect from Charter Hall and the accelerator program what kind of startups Charter Hall is looking for where our panelists think the real estate industry has evolved in the past 5 years and where it is going how realAS has found the transition from startup to working with a corporate (acquired by ANZ bank in 2016) how startups can effectively sell to large corporates and REITs technologies that our panelists are most excited by and their applications to real estate challenges in developing a proptech startup from the ground up Listen on iTunes | Listen on Stitcher | Listen on Soundcloud If you’d like to find out more about the Charter Hall accelerator program and apply you can do so at www.charterhallaccelerator.cc For more content like this head over to www.collectivecampus.io GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack   Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Future Squared for a very special milestone episode number 200…. it seems like just yesterday I was sitting down with my co-founder and bashing out episode #1. That was now over 20 months ago and in that time I’ve been lucky enough to speak with and learn from the likes of Kevin Kelly, Steve Blank, Tim Harford, Jason Calacanis, Gretchen Rubin, Andreas Antonopoulous, Karen Dillon, Sean Ellis, Massimo Pigliucci, Brad Feld, Jamie Wheal, Lawrence Levy, Tyler Cowen, Alec Ross, Jamie Wheal, Susan David, David Allen and countless others - it just blows my mind how far this show has come in a short amount of time, picking up the Australian people’s choice award for best business podcast earlier this year and amassing a following of thousands. So with that, I would just like to say a big THANK YOU for listening to the show, whether you’ve been with us from the start, whether you discovered the show 100 episodes in or whether this is the first time listening to the show - thank you so much - of course, if you have been a fan all of this time, I look forward to bringing you another 200 episodes and if you’d like to show some love, simply take a minute to leave a rating on iTunes, Stitcher or Google Play - it goes a long way to ensuring that the show gets into as many ears as possible.   What I’m doing on this show ultimately aligns with our mission here at Collective Campus which is to unlock people’s potential to create more imact for humanity and lead more fulfilling lives and I just hope that through these episodes you’ve been inspired to act and create change or add value to your life and the lives of people around you in ways both great and small. So with that, it’s time to introduce today’s guest... Professor Scott Galloway. Scott is a clinical professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business, and a public speaker, author, and entrepreneur. He was named one of the world's 50 best business school professors by Poets and Quants. He has just released The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google which is already a New York Times and USA Today Bestseller. In it Scott deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can’t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career. In this episode you will learn: How the big four tech titans got to where they are today and why we’re wrong about how we think they got there Whether the big four are too big to fail and what the broader social and economic implications of their dominance are; and How to apply lessons from the big four to accelerate your career Topics discussed: - Scott predicting the Amazon Wholefoods acquisition - How Amazon made money on the acquisition, almost immediately - How companies like Amazon have a competitive advantage by getting big on "someone else's credit card" - Why investors are so forgiving to companies like Amazon, Tesla and Facebook despite high profile crises that would destroy other companies - How these companies got so big - Are the big four 'too big to fail'? - Has Google gotten so big and collected so much data that it's almost impossible for a second entrant to compete? - How companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, UBER and Facebook concentrate wealth in Silicon Valley, much to the detriment of social safety nets everywhere  - How big four companies are doing much more with much less - How behemoths like Amazon and Google get away with paying effectively no tax while small companies end up paying much more on a per capita basis - On Silicon Valley companies designing apps to effectively addict us to dopamine hits - In the wake of high profile anti-trust breaches, sexual harrassment cases and multi-billion dollar fines, are the big four's companies political fortunes on the decline? - Jeff Immelt's ousting at GE and how the market was less forgiving for a traditional company than a Tesla (despite the latter's product recalls and missing production targets) - How we can apply the lessons of the big four to our own lives   Show Notes: 1) Book website: www.thefourbook.com 2) Twitter: @profgalloway 3) Get the book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2CKzGqb   Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

As more large companies begin to embark upon audacious transformation plans and set up innovation teams, more corporate professionals are being introduced to a world in which terms like design thinking, lean, agile, pivot, experiment, fail, adapt and so on are used almost interchangeably. Many fall victim to the law of the instrument bias and after attending a one day design thinking workshop, load all of their eggs into that one basket, maintaining a firm belief that design thinking is the silver bullet solution for their innovation woes, but as I detailed in a previous blog post, design thinking is only one step in the process. With that, I often get asked by professionals new to the space what the difference between design thinking, the lean startup and agile is and the answer forms the basis for this instalment of Fast Fix Friday. ---  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

More often than not, senior management and the C-suite assume that exploring disruptive innovation is incredibly risky, and it is. It’s often a key bugbear to getting senior management buy-in for corporate innovation initiatives. However, that high risk doesn’t necessarily need to translate to high cost, especially not in the early stages of the innovation lifecycle (below). In fact, the cost of notexploring disruptive innovation can be much higher with countless companies having paid the ultimate price in recent years for neglecting it. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, we explore the corporate innovation trade-off between risk and reward. --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Collective Campus recently announced the AsiaPac’s first virtual and augmented reality startup accelerator, the Village Roadshow Xperience Accelerator, in collaboration with Microsoft. We’re big believers in the value and power of combining startup grit, speed and experimentation with the core assets, access and scale of a large company so we’ll be scouting Australia wide looking for 8 to 10 entertainment startups using VR or AR to change the face of entertainment. To celebrate and raise awareness, we hosted launch nights in both Melbourne and Sydney last week. Our Melbourne event drew well over 120 people and a fun evening was had by all, made all the more fun by augmented reality enabled popcorn boxes which when scanned revealed Marty McFly being eaten by an CGI shark in 1989’s Back To The Future, which served as one of the movie’s many accurate predictions of the future. Collective Campus co-founder Sean Qian, who you might remember from some of the early episodes of Future Squared, hosted a panel on the evening to discuss emerging trends in the mixed reality sector and how it will enhance the entertainment industry. The panel was made up of Jon Satterly, Chief Digital Officer at Village Roadshow and former head of Roadrunner Records Australia, Lawrence Crumpton, Microsoft’s HoloLens Evangelist and Tony Simmons, CEO and Founder of Mrktplace Ventures. If you couldn’t make it then you’re in luck because that conversation is the focus of today’s episode. For more information on the Xperience Accelerator head to www.xperienceaccelerator.cc So with that, strap yourself in, arm yourself with some popcorn and enjoy an enlightening conversation on the future of entertainment.

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on the Design and Play podcast with Steve Brophy and Dean Pearman, two teachers that are actively raising awareness for and doing their best to drive much needed change in K12 education in Australia. The guys were happy enough to have me republish it on Future Squared. We talk about my podcast journey, including growth hacks I used to make Future Squared an iTunes chart-topper. We take a deep dive into the power of virtual assistants to reduce administrative workload and I provide insights into my own approach to learning. We discuss the value of going analog to help with managing distractions, as well as the power of extreme ownership when it comes to leadership. Authentic learning in K12 schools and learning by doing are throughlines for this whole episode.   Show Notes: Design & Play podcast: /designandplay.podbean.com/ ---- Podcastfail - https://twitter.com/hashtag/podcastfail Virtual Assistants Fiverr - https://www.fiverr.com/ Upwork - https://www.upwork.com/ Feedly - https://feedly.com/ Harvard Business Review - https://hbr.org/ Enterprise Innovation -https://www.enterpriseinnovation.net/ Pareto Principle - https://stevebrophy.com.au/2017/08/12/to-do-lists-live-frogs-and-the-pareto-principle/ EduChange - http://www.educhange.com.au/ Peter Hutton - https://twitter.com/Tempcol EdRevolution - http://edrevolution.hutton.education/ Distractions and notifications - https://innovativepedagogy.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/is-the-buzz-of-a-notification-good-for-you/ Extreme Ownership - https://amzn.to/2QkOHlo Jocko Podcast - http://jockopodcast.com/ Jocko - Good - Jocko Motivation "GOOD" (From Jocko Podcast) Clayton Christensen-  http://www.claytonchristensen.com/ Innovators DNA -  http://www.claytonchristensen.com/books/innovators-dna-mastering-skills-disruptive-innovators/ Future skills - http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2017/09/27/what-skills-do-students-need-to-be.html?cmp=soc-tw-shr Kevin Kelly - http://kk.org/ The Inevitable - http://kk.org/books/the-inevitable/ Future Squared podcast interview with Kevin Kelly - http://www.futuresquared.xyz/podcast/episode-161-kevin-kelly-on-the-inevitable Tim Ferriss - https://tim.blog/podcast/ Learning how to learn : DiSSS (deconstruction, selection, sequencing, and stakes) - https://tim.blog/2016/10/06/the-art-and-science-of-learning-anything-faster/   --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

I’ve been using virtual assistants for several years. Today, virtual assistants are a big part of the reason why I can maintain what people consider a very high output (in the past two years - in addition to running an innovation consultancy - I founded a children’s entrepreneurship program, published two books, launched a podcast that as of writing is 187 episodes strong and still maintain a solid social life, daily fitness routine, have ample time to learn and maintain interests outside of work - my team will tell you I’m rarely in the office past 7pm and rarely work weekends). With this in mind, I give you my 101 on virtual assistants in this instalment of Fast Fix Friday.  --- Show Notes: Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

The world is changing faster than ever and up to 60% of today’s jobs are likely to be automated in the next 10-15 years, yet most of what children learn in school is still geared towards traditional roles, and still forces them to become adept at reading, remembering and regurgitating as opposed to more transferable and relevant skills such as resilience, embracing and thriving in ambiguity, critical thinking and problem solving. Given all of uncertainty, ambiguity and complexity and volatility we’re facing as an economy and society going forward, as technology begins to play an ever greater role in our lives, I was asked what I thought the number one skill children need to learn is. For me, it’s not coding. While coding and having literacy in the language of the machines will be important, it may effectively become the blue collar job of the future. Commoditised by millions of people in economies such as India who can do the same job for a cheaper price. The value in learning coding aside from using it to build things, is the hacker mindset and the type of thinking that it supports. But in a world where things are constantly changing, the number one skill children need to learn, I said, is learning how to learn. So how do we learn how to learn? That is the focus of today's episode. --- Show Notes: Charter Hall PropTech Accelerator: www.charterhallaccelerator.cc Village Xperience Accelerator: www.xperienceaccelerator.cc  --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Winning buy-in from senior and middle management for corporate innovation initiatives is one of the biggest challenges intrapreneurs face. Oftentimes, intrapreneurs resort to presentations and meetings with executives in an effort to convince them why they should explore new initiatives. Sometimes this works. Most times it doesn’t. Such pursuits fall flat because the recipients have an inherent lack of incentive to explore innovation, a preconceived notion that innovation is riskyand expensive and ultimately, don’t understand or connect with the proposition. In this episode I tell a story about a smell that changed the path of English economic history.  --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

What gets measured gets managed. When it comes to corporate innovation, it’s easy to focus on metrics such as ideas captured by an idea challenge, the number of prototypes developed or experiments run. But with most corporate innovation initiatives quickly degenerating into theatre, failure rates are running high (eg. 80-90% of innovation labs fail). Such failures ultimately lead to senior stakeholders withdrawing their support while intrapreneurs become increasingly dissatisfied and leave the organisation to seek out greener, more innovative pastures elsewhere. This really hurts a company’s prospects for innovating in the long-term - something few companies can ill afford in today’s climate. Corporates need to get more adept at identifying and monitoring the metrics that matter when it comes to their innovation programs if they are to avoid such pitfalls. ---   Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Today, we welcome to the show for a 3rd time, the one and only Tim Harford. Tim is an economist, author, TED speaker, journalist and broadcaster. He is author of “Messy” and the million-selling “The Undercover Economist”, a senior columnist at the Financial Times, and the presenter of Radio 4’s “More or Less” and host of the popular BBC podcast, “50 Things That Made the Modern Economy”, which is incidentally enough, the name of his new book and the subject of today’s conversation. From the plough to artificial intelligence, from Gillette disposable razor to Ikea’s Billy bookcase, Tim recounts each invention’s own memorable story and introduces you to the characters who developed them, profited from them, and were ruined by them. Former Future Squared guest and widely respected economist and custodian of MarginalRevolution.com, Tyler Cowen, says that Tim’s new book “reaffirms his status as one of the great (greatest?) contemporary popular writers on economics”. Tim and I  go an inch deep and a mile wide in this episode. In particular, we discuss 3 key topics: Why most companies that invest in technology and innovation fail and what those that succeed do differently What should Government’s role be in developing and regulating technology Why we shouldn’t be looking at emerging technologies in isolation and how the most transformative technologies often aren’t the most glamorous I really enjoyed my last two conversations with Tim as well as the 50 Things podcast so couldn’t wait to have him back on the show to broaden my thinking so with that, I bring you, Tim Harford.  Topics discussed: The inspiration for the podcast and book How inventions and innovations often have far reaching and unexpected implications UBER getting banned in London Government intervention and regulation of technology: how much is enough? Government: an unlikely source of technology innovation? How the gramophone gave rise to the ‘superstar economy’ How the superstar economy goes beyond musicians and athletes and today includes big business Elizabeth Billington and the English Premier League What do air conditioning, computers, the subway, skyscrapers, Dubai and Singapore have in common? Technology creates winners and losers Can we truly forecast the impact of technology? Why companies need to change the entire system around a technology to truly leverage it and capitalise on promised performance gains (this feeds into why most digital transformation projects today fail) Key lessons for corporate executives How the plough started everything Show notes: TimHarford.com @TimHarford on Twitter Listen to the podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04b1g3c Vote for the 51st thing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4Y4Gn8gbQvp4X87wGLV3n4N/vote-for-the-51st-thing Get Tim's books: Fifty Things that Made the Modern Economy: https://amzn.to/2N80Tbm The Undercover Economist: https://amzn.to/2NIGKbr Messy: How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World: https://amzn.to/2QoLgtZ The Logic Of Life: Uncovering the New Economics of Everything: https://amzn.to/2N4u3rE The Undercover Economist Strikes Back: How to Run or Ruin an Economy: https://amzn.to/2OdO4sz Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure: https://amzn.to/2oYqghg Dear Undercover Economist: The very best letters from the Dear Economist column: https://amzn.to/2p0mfsH ---  Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Like us?

Cy Wakeman is a dynamic international keynote speaker, business consultant, New York Times bestselling author, and global thought leader with over 25 years experience cultivating a revolutionary new approach to leadership.   Named one of the “Top 100 Leadership Experts to Follow” on twitter, Wakeman’s influence continues to build. Participants consistently rank her programs as the single most impactful training they have ever received.   An expert blogger on FastCompany.com, Forbes.com and The Huffington Post, Wakeman’s ideas have been featured on the TODAY Show, The Social, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Business Insider, Huffington Post, The Daily Muse, Success.com, and SHRM.com.   She’s written three books, Reality-Based Leadership, The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace and the newly released: No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Workplace Drama, End Entitlement, and Drive Big Results.   In No Ego, she points out that Ego-driven behaviors are the #1 source of drama in workplaces today, and it’s costing organizations billions annually. She says the philosophy of “perfecting the environment” to create employee engagement just feeds the ego and generates huge amounts of drama and emotional waste.   This was an enjoyable free flowing conversation on a hectic book launch day for Cy and we covered a lot of ground and there are lots of takeaways from this conversation.   In particular, expect to learn: Why the ego can keep us from achieving our professional and personal goals How to silence our ego Why elaborate employee engagements programs may be a source of entitlement and can actually be detrimental to company performance   All topics discussed: Cy’s new book, No Ego Why our organisations must be in a constant change of readiness How the ego keeps us from being our best How to silence our egos Why suffering is a choice The cost of emotional waste Why choosing to do one new thing each month makes us resilient How learning to say “yes” to more can be a source of growth The cost of drama in our organisations What the real cost of comparing ourselves to others is The power of depersonalisation What “BMW driving” is and how it applies to your company Don’t think change, think next Why employee engagement programs can be a bad thing Why we should stress accountability over engagement How to identify and attract emotionally inexpensive and effective employees Why a company’s or a person’s circumstances shouldn’t be used as an excuse   Show Notes: Cy’s website: Realitybasedleadership.com @cywakeman on Twitter and Instagram Cy on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEOp127ZAQAz7MMarBmygA Cy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CyWakeman/   Cy’s books on Amazon: No Ego: https://amzn.to/2x9xpPl Reality-Based Leadership: https://amzn.to/2NDSPhP The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace: https://amzn.to/2QoFY1x --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

While we - human beings - like to think of ourselves as rational creatures, the truth is we are anything but. We are prone to over 100 cognitive biases that may subconsciously shape our perceptions, beliefs and decisions. As one might imagination, innovation and entrepreneurship is not immune from said biases. Becoming aware of them is step one to designing workarounds so that your company is not over-investing in the wrong idea or under-investing in the right one. In this episode I unpack just three of the 36 cognitive biases I've identified that can stifle your innovation efforts, how they might apply to the field and a proposed solution or mitigant for each.  For the full list of all 36 cognitive biases that inhibit innovation and what you can do to combat them head over to: https://www.collectivecampus.com.au/blog/36-cognitive-biases-that-inhibit-innovation --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Today, an important observation I’ve made this week. Regular listeners will know that I’m a prolific blogger, if I can use that term, of sorts, having published over 200 blogs in the past couple of years. Some perform really well, others not as well - and that’s just the nature of creative pursuits. And more recently, I noticed an influx of people post long-form, often narcissistic status updates on lInkedin following a predictable formula, separating each line by an entire line spacing and often running about 30 lines long. It turns out that Linkedin picks up on this in its algorithm and serves it up to a much wider audience and therefore such posts have the ingredients to go viral. This can be both a blessing, for content creators who are taking advantage, but also a curse, because Linkedin, seemingly makes no effort to distinguish between quality content and for lack of a better word, garbage. I recently posted a tongue in cheek status update on Linkedin calling out everybody posting such long-winded, devoid of substance posts, and did so using the same formula...and low and behold, this rant, which took me all of 20 seconds to think up, has now amassed in just 3 short days almost 1,000 likes and 100,000 views. Meanwhile, a 3,500 word article I published a week earlier on an alternative to business cases to explore disruptive innovation is sitting at just over 100 likes and has not been getting anywhere near the same level of distribution from Linkedin even though hours of critical thinking and years of learning and experience went into it. The lesson here is, be intentional about where you consume your content from and don’t place too much faith in algorithms to serve up the best, most value adding and relevant content - not yet anyway. As the late, great Zig Ziglar used to say - you are who you are because of what you put into your mind - so guard your mind with your life! That’s it for another week of Fast Fix Friday, have an epic weekend! --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  Listen on Google Play @  bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Disruptive ideas usually don’t see light of day at large companies. And when they do, it’s not for long. This is because traditional financial metrics such as NPV, IRR and RoNA are used as measures of success. In addition, the allocation of capital for new ideas hinges on business cases that ask us to forecast indicators such as the target market, the market size, the payback period and aforementioned financial metrics - all factors that can’t be reliably predicted when it comes to disruptive innovation which is inherently uncertain and chaotic. In the odd case that capital is allocated to a potentially disruptive idea, it’s usually pulled prematurely because the financial metrics or assumptions that made up the crux of our business case were faulty - which is to be expected for almost any truly disruptive idea because if you’re reliably estimating what every variable looks like from day one, you’re either a prophet, have a crystal ball or are just pursuing incremental innovation, the opportunities for which are much more visible and obvious, so too the underlying assumptions. So what’s the alternative?

Get out of the building from day one they say. It will be fun they say. The whole concept of coming up with an idea, writing a problem or solution interview script and speaking to prospective target customers from day one has gained popularity in recent years as Steve Blank’s customer discovery model and later, Eric Ries’ lean startup movement have taken hold. While we can sometimes get away with online testing, we often have to face up to the much more socially confronting task of interrupting strangers simply going on about their business on the street, which is no easy feat to say the least.

I left the corporate world years ago not only because I managed to raise funding to pursue my own startup ideabut mostly because there was little to no incentive for managers to encourage new ideas or change. Managers were simply incentivised to deliver simply what was in their position description and more often than not, that had nothing to do with discovering new ways of doing things, much like the organisations they work for. Change is risky after all, or so they say. Many managers wonder why on earth they should take a risk on change when they’re sitting pretty on a six figure salary, probably have mouths to feed, are comfortable with “the way things have always been done around here” rhetoric and have no real desire to rock the boat. But with more than 50% of today’s S&P500 facing replacement in the next 10 years alone and with one in three listed companies at risk of being de-listed in the next five years, it’s no secret that organisations need to start incentivising innovation if top-down calls from senior executives to “be bold, be innovative!” are to be heeded. This need is even more pronounced at a middle manager level which can either be the lifeblood or ring the death knell of corporate innovation. The question often becomes one of how to incentivise innovation without compromising the core business model. After all, the core business model is where we make money today (but not necessarily tomorrow - just ask Kodak, Blockbuster, Borders, Compaq and countless others who have fallen by the wayside thanks to technology and/or business model disruption). I delve into the key considerations in this episode of Fast Fix Friday. --- Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0  Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future  If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared  Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Brad Stulberg writes about health and the science of human performance. He is a columnist with Outside Magazine and New York Magazine and has also written for Forbes, NPR, The Los Angeles Times, Runner's World, and The Huffington Post.   Brad is widely known for his ability to merge the latest science with compelling personal stories, offering readers practical insights that they can apply in their own lives.   Brad is the co-author of Peak Performance - Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive with the New Science of Success, which bestselling author Adam Grant calls a transfixing read and Arianna Huffington called an essential playbook for success and happiness.   The book combines inspiring stories of top performers across a range of domains – from athletic to intellectual to artistic – with the latest science on the cognitive, neurochemical, and physiological factors that underlie mastery. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers unique and powerful insights that can help you take your game to the next level, whatever your game may be.   Previously, Brad worked as a consultant for McKinsey and Company, where he counseled some of the world's top executives on a broad range of issues.   This was the second time we recorded this conversation with Brad, because the first hour plus conversation we had fell victim to technical difficulties in the manifestation of a corrupt audio file and yes, I should have and always record backups of my conversations and it just so happened that the one time I didn’t, lightning struck….Brad however was kind enough to give make another 40 minutes free to re-record the chat and I tried to cram as much value as possible into a tighter window so you might find me jumping around quite a bit and trying to go an inch deep and a mile wide in this conversation. As such, expect to learn a lot of things, including: A simple equation that you can use to support your growth What the world’s number one performance enhancer is; and How to silence technology’s demands on our attention so that we can get into the kind of deep focus work that can create more value in four hours than in 12 hours of shallow, interrupted work   All topics discussed: Peak Performance, the book Body and mind: a false dichotomy The growth equation Agile project management Ideation and brainstorming Mindset How to thrive in the moment How to get into flow and do deep work Productivity hacks The power of purpose Priming techniques Nootropics and smart drugs Mindfulness and meditation The importance of rest   Show notes: Get the book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2QoHRLF Book website: Peakperformancebook.net Learn more at www.bradstulberg.com Twitter: @Bstulberg --- 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!

Collective Campus hosted Disrupt the Public Sector, its annual conference on innovation in Government, for the third time this year as part of the Australian Government’s Innovation Month 2017. I had the pleasure of facilitating a panel discussion on the topic of how to ‘make things happen’ in Government - which loosely translates to how to we transform Government to one that attracts top talents, is adaptable in the face of rapid change and uses its position to create more impact in society, rather than hide behind the veil of using taxpayer dollars as an excuses not to innovate which is incorrectly perceived as being risky (it is if you take few large bets instead of many small ones) and outsourcing accountability. Public sector spending in the Australian state of Victoria has almost doubled in the past 10 years, whereas in the private sector we see organisations like Netflix (entertainment), Khan Academy (education) and Minute Clinic (healthcare) achieving much more with much less in this time thanks to their ability to spot trends and opportunities and use emerging technologies to enable creating impact with less capital investment. Imagine a Government, with its wealth of resources, that moved just a little bit more like a Netflix?

While there’s much talk emanating out of Silicon Valley nowadays that “pivot is the new fail”, when the term first gained popularity off the back of the lean startup movement in the early 2010s it effectively meant making a fundamental shift in your business model, based on customer learnings, towards one that is designed to bring you closer to product market fit. Whether it’s changing your target customer segment, your distribution channels, your marketing strategy, pricing model or the very nature of your solution, a pivot in business is much like a pivot in basketball, keeping one foot planted firmly on the ground while shifting the other foot. A pivot done well, can be a thing of beauty and something that both large corporate innovation teams and startup founders can take much inspiration from. So with that, here are 10 of our team’s favourite company pivots of all time. --- Listen on iTunes @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher @ www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listen on Google Play bit.ly/FSGoog If you've got any questions on this podcast feel free to send an email to [email protected] or tweet me on Twitter @steveglaveski or @future_squared Follow me on Instagram: @thesteveglaveski Like us?

Large organisations are engaging startups in growing numbers, due in part to a realisation that companies have not been built to respond to the accelerating pace of change in a timely manner, and that short of restructuring the entire organisation from the ground up, partnering with startups who are unencumbered by bureaucracy, short-term shareholder demands and employee incentives, is an easier way to tap into emerging technologies, business models and talent. This makes sense for most large organisations given that startups tend to explore disruptive innovations - usually low margin, small market and high risk to begin with - don’t support short term and often large company growth targets, but if left unchecked, may be the source of dwindling market share a few years down the track (here’s looking at you Blockbuster for passing up the opportunity to buy Netflix for US$50M - the company is today worth 140 times that). In this episode I run through eight ways that corporates can connect with startup ecosystems and engage startups to work collaboratively towards their mutual goals - some light touch and others that require a more serious commitment of time and money. --- 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!

I facilitated a panel discussion on innovation in Government recently and was asked whether or not Government has a responsibility to keep its workforce employed in the face of technological change.
