Episode #109: Make Friends with No
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.

Episode #108: Flow Genome Project's Jamie Wheal on Why Creativity is a State of Mind
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.

Episode #107: Don't Confuse a Means To An End with an End In Itself
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.

Episode #105: Optimise your Return on Failure (RoF)
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 has just released his Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives, which New York Times bestselling author, Adam Grant, says is utterly fascinating. The book celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it’s important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead. He is a regular contributor to Slate, Forbes, and NPR’s Marketplace. He was the host of the BBC TV series Trust Me, I’m an Economist and now presents the BBC series More or Less. Harford has been an economist at the World Bank and an economics tutor at Oxford University. Malcolm Gladwell says that “every Tim Harford book is a cause for celebration” so with adulation like that I simply coudn’t get Tim get away with just a 30 minute interview when there is simply so much to talk about so he’ll be joining me and by extension, you again next month for part 2 of this interview. But first, I bring you part one with the one, the only, Tim Harford. Topics discussed: - Tim’s latest book - The jazz composition that almost never was... and Black Sabbath - Why clean organisations are often slow moving organisations - The connection between messiness and creativity - Our self reinforcing social media bubbles - Should we be moving to hybrid organisations? - How Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos used chaos and messiness as an offensive weapon in politics and business respectively - How chaos can fuel your competitive strategy - Is inbox zero a waste of time?

Episode #103: How Legal Teams Can Enable Corporate Innovation
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?

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy Hello everybody from 2017… we hope you’re as pumped as we are at Collective Campus about this year and have set yourself some big hairy audacious goals to work towards this year. Before I get into today’s fast fix I’d like to remind you that Future Squared has been nominated for the very first Australian Podcasting Awards people’s choice award, so instead of asking you to like us on iTunes, all I ask, as we endeavour to bring you another 100 episodes this year, is for 1 minute of your time to head on over to bit.ly/futuresquared and like this show - that’s all you have to do. Getting this type of recognition will go a long way to supporting this show and provide us with the energy and momentum we need to continue bringing you amazing guests, week in, week out. That link again was bit.ly/futuresquared. Today, I want to talk about sharing information, a topic inspired by the late 27 year old Aaron Swartz. Aaron was a co-founder of Reddit, was heavily involved in the development of the RSS feed in his early teens and above all, will be remembered for being an internet hacktivist, who campaigned against the Stop Online Piracy Act and supported the free flow of information. --- I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Episode #100: 11 Year Old Entrepreneur, Alex Henderson
Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy ***Achievement unlocked*** Episode #100 is here and what a super special episode it is! A couple of weeks ago on an episode of Fast Fix Friday called Why I Do What I do, I spoke of a touching email I had received from Alex Henderson, one of the alums of Lemonade Stand, a 2 day kids entrepreneurship program that we run to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. The budding young startup founder wrote to let me in on how the program had opened his eyes to the possibilities and inspired him to start a business and that he had gone one step further and already just launched. As it is now the school holiday season here in Melbourne, Australia, I couldn’t help but reach out and invite Alex to appear on Future Squared to not only inspire other parents and their kids, but basically anybody out there who has made excuses in business and in life - age, lack of money and resources, no experience, no networks - these all come with very low barriers that can be overcome with, Alex tells us, nothing more than an internet connection, a laptop and the right attitude. And with that, I’d just like to say thank you for listening to Future Squared in 2016. It has been an absolutely massive year for the team on a number of fronts and we simply could not have achieved what we have without you, our loyal audience. I hope that this show has inspired you to new heights in both your personal and professional life and look forward to bringing you much more #inspo in 2017 as we set out to publish another 100 episodes before the year closes out. Until next time, enjoy your new years eve shenanigans, whatever it is you get up to. I’m off to spend some time attempting to kitesurf while doing my best to avoid facepalming the water. See you in 2017! --- I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Episode #96: Funk You Very Much

Episode #93: 11 Ways to grow 10X in 2017
Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk all about the power of 10X vision. Most of us chug along trying to grow revenues, our businesses, our personal brands incrementally and sustainably over time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach., I myself am a big believer in persistence trumping talent 8 days a week, and aesop’s fable, ‘the tortoise and the hare’ favours the slowly but surely approach over the quick off the mark risk laden approach. But if you’re looking to create dramatic impact, thinking and acting incrementally might not be enough. Rather than looking for 10% growth next year, perhaps you can ask yourself how you plan on growing by 10x, that’s 1000%, next year. Or as Peter Thiel of Paypal and Palantir fame says, how can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months? This simple question prompts us ask questions of ourselves and our businesses that we normally wouldn’t ask. I asked myself this question just the other night and spent 2 hours on my couch, doodling and mindmapping away potential growth opportunities and came up with over 130 to begin with, which mind you could be further broken down into subideas. So, if you want to 10x your business next year, I talk through 11 things you might want to think about in this episode of Future Squared.

Episode #90: Why I Do What I Do
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.

Episode #82: Human Longevity: What Happens When We Live To 120?
Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Proponents of human longevity, let’s call them ‘longevists’, are advocating, exploring and commercialising new technologies and methods to effectively slow down or reverse the process of aging in order to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Longevists such as Peter Diamandis of Human Longevity Inc (HLI) believe that breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation and regenerative medicine, genomics, nanotechnology, molecular repair and organ replacement paired with the exponential growth in sophisticated AI/machine learning and deep analytics software will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I go an inch deep and a mile wide into some of the medical technologies and advances that are poised to extend the healthy human lifespan and effectively aim to prompt a conversation on what the potential implications of a considerably longer lifespan would be on different facets of our lives, be they economic, social, political or environmental.

Karen Dillon is co-author of Clayton Christensen's new book, Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice” (HarperCollins, October 2016), a groundbreaking book with the potential to reframe industries. It is based on a simple yet profound idea put forward by Christensen in “The Innovator’s Solution”: customers don’t buy products and services; they hire them to do a job. And understanding which jobs your customers need done is key to innovation success. The former editor of Harvard Business Review (HBR), Karen has long chronicled the successes and failures of businesses and their leaders. Currently a contributing editor to HBR focused on the topics of leadership, managing people, managing yourself and entrepreneurship, Dillon has worked closely with some of the world’s greatest thought leaders, including Clayton Christensen, Michael Porter, Vijay Govindarajan, Daniel Isenberg and A.G. Lafley. A talented, award-winning writer, she is also a passionate, engaging speaker – and is especially skilled at personalizing the themes of her books to make them actionable and relevant to each audience. Dillon is co-author of several best-selling titles, including “How Will You Measure Your Life?” (HarperCollins, May 2012), with Christensen and James Allworth. The book, born out of a series of powerful lectures and seminars by Christensen, began with an article conceived by Dillon for HBR. Topics Discussed: - Her new book, “Competing Against Luck” - What is a ‘job to be done’ - Identifying customer jobs to be done - “The story of the milkshake!” - Looking through a different lens, to improve innovation. - The anxiety of customer switch and buying patterns - Customer journey mapping and more - Prioritising jobs to be done ("which jobs should I build a product around?")

Episode #71: The 5 Funding Traps of Corporate Innovation Projects
In an age where the time between disruptions is getting shorter and the exponential growth of technology threatens the upheaval of almost every industry, certainty is fast becoming a distant memory. Yet, when it comes to deciding which projects to invest in at most large organisations, we often rely on projections and estimates based on assumptions about the same uncertain future. Think of this as the Innovator’s Funding Dilemma, encapsulated by these five common pitfalls of funding corporate innovation projects. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I talk the 5 funding traps of corporate innovation projects. Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Like us?

Episode #70: Personal Disruption with Steve Glaveski and Matt Romania
Ahoy there entrepreneurs and corporate innovators! After my recent appearance on the Razor Sharp Show with Ray Milidoni, I was invited back for a deep dive interview with Matt Romania, to talk all about a topic of personal disruption, something I touched on when chatting with Ray. In this age of technological upheaval and business model disruption, the need to be more adaptable and duck and weave in response to, or even better, in anticipation of, change, is becoming more and more important. We touch on the what, why, and how of personal disruption and reinvention in this podcast as well as what disrupting yourself feels like and some of the common challenges you will no doubt encounter if straying from a common pathway.

Episode #69: How to Run a Hackathon
In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk hackathons, and how, while they are a great tool for bringing teams together to move quickly to build prototypes, are often done in a way that doesn't focus on problem solution fit, unique value proposition or business model. Essentially, most hackathons fall into the all to common trap of building what excites the team building it, but not the market. This is the main reason why 96% of startups and new ventures fail. I talk through what you and/or your organisation need to think about in order to run a successful hackathon that can deliver genuine outcomes and galvanise an organisation around its innovation efforts.

Episode #66: Increase your Return on Optimisation (ROO)
Many might remember the story of Eric Moussambani, the ‘Olympic swimmer’ from Equatorial Guinea who took 1:52.72 to complete his 100m swim at Sydney 2000, more than twice that of his nearest competitor. Before the Olympics, he had never even seen a 50m long pool, took up swimming eight months prior and practiced swimming in a lake. In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk return on optimisation, or ROO. Companies often get obsessed running A/B tests to optimise their marketing funnels, but, are they optimising the wrong thing? Optimising early, during problem and solution definition, generates a much higher return than optimising late, particularly if you've defined the problem incorrectly. Many of us are not all that different to Eric and I'll explain why. --- Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future 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.

Episode #64: Success Metrics for Corporate Innovation Programs and Teams
Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future ---- I was recently asked to partake in a discussion with a newly formed innovation team at an ASX20 company. What started out as an informal discussion quickly had me on my feet, white-boarding away and firing on all cognitive cylinders as I talked, or drew my way, through the different things large bureaucratic organisations need to consider when it comes to the big hairy audacious mission of creating an environment that truly supports disruptive innovation. After babbling on for a little while, it was question time and one question in particular prompted me to write this post - “if you come back here in a year how will you determine whether or not we’ve been successful?” So in this episode of Fast Fix Friday, I bring you success metrics for corporate innovation programs and teams.
