Ironically, I remember the first time I got smacked in the faceIronically, it was in a crumbly old boxing pub called The Ring.The Ring is opposite Southwark Station.One of life’s lovely oxymorons; a Thai restaurant shoved up the jaxxie of boozer.It was a hot afternoon, the first time I got smacked in the faceToo hot. Sticky hot. Too sticky hot.I felt like a f*cking sticky pork rib in Uniqlo getup as we climbed the stairsWe climbed and climbed and climbedthe marvellous aromatic waft of Green and Red and Yellow curries hummed and marbled and danced into hot June air.The room was barren.I didn’t know Alex Smith at all.We hit record.Within 1 minute, Alex smacked me round the face.smacked me round the face with wisdomleft hook lucid-clarityright hook this-is-right-waystrategy sucker-punchit was an INSANE podcastI went downstairs, ordered a cold Guinness, and thought “F*ck me, that was absolutely banging."About 3 weeks later.Alex ABSOLUTELY booted off on LinkedIn with his seminal and prodigious book “No Bullshit Strategy”Over the past 2 years, we’ve become great friends. This is Alex’s third rodeo on the pod.Alex’s thinking is lucid clear.Like warm silk over cold marble. And Sunny February Morning frost.ON THE MENU:The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Strategy - The role of entering the consumers subconscious to unlock strategic insightsWhy USP’s are a complete waste of time. Unique Points of Disagreement > Unique Selling PointsWhy Unique Points of Difference = Surface Level Consumer “conscious” BUT Unique Points of Disagreement = Deeper Level Consumer Subconscious3 Questions to to break out the rails of bad bland brand thinkingWhy the world doesn't reward the best ideas. It rewards those who are best at communicating those ideas.Why MOJU is closer to Lucozade Vs innocent - the VITAL difference between “perceived” and “true” competitorsHow to avoid the survivorship bias of bad ideas + Be like Elon Musk, “you need a defence of your ideas”The Starbucks vs SAS Principle: there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” culture - it’s the just what’s the right culture to deliver strategyWhy “Start With Why” is NOT strategy “Why” is simply a storytelling toolWhy we are unhealthily obsessed with substance vs. style - those that focus on style beat those that focus on substanceWhy focusing on Style actually reveals the value in the substance, Your role a founder is to be obsessed with style------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HUNGRY's Absolutely Bloody Marvellous Sponsors who make HUNGRY possible:North Star: https://www.northstarbc.co.uk/MKJ IGNITE: https://www.mkjignite.co.uk/Big Fish: https://bigfish.co.uk/BOWIMI: https://www.bowimi.com/HC Consulting: https://www.hc-consulting.uk/🤝 Let's mingleStalk me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-pope/Stalk me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_hungry.pod/🤝 Let's Connect!►Let’s link-up here ​ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-pope/)►Stalk me here ​ (https://www.instagram.com/_hungry.pod/) ==============================================🌟 HUNGRY's Absolutely Bloody Marvelous Sponsors🌟==============================================A massive shoutout to our incredible sponsors who make HUNGRY possible: 🍜Use Uber Eats code: KOYAKO40 to get 40% off (up to 15£) when you spend at least 20£ ►North Star: (www.northstarbc.co.uk) Get your FREE 30min Consultancy Session with North Star 👉 https://calendly.com/andy-northstar/free-30mins-with-north-star-team🤝 Let's Connect!►Let's link-up here ​ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-pope/)►Stalk me here ​ (https://www.instagram.com/_hungry.pod/)
