There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who copy other people’s businesses and those who create an entirely new market. When you disrupt an existing market, you run the risk of being lumped in with your competitors. For example, you can probably name five of your local coffee shops off the top of your head. While some entrepreneurs thrive off of copying other business ideas, the most successful businesses are the ones who solve a problem that nobody else has solved. If your business idea is completely original, then whoever needs your product will come to you because nobody else is filling that hole in the market. Over the years, Jim McKelvey has become an expert at building businesses that solve problems no one else is addressing. He has founded several groundbreaking businesses like Square and LaunchCode, both of which fill a hole in their respective markets. In this episode of YAP Classic, Hala and Jim break down the two different types of entrepreneurs. Jim tells Hala about how he met Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Square and Twitter. They also talked about why money is a weak motivator in entrepreneurship and how Jim and Jack survived an attack from Amazon. Topics Include: - The impact of his mother’s suicide - Jim’s relationship with social media - ‘Don’t do’ list - How does Jim define entrepreneurship? - Pros of copying someone - Our copy-centric world - Becoming aware of solvable problems - Why money is a weak motivator - How Jim met Jack Dorsey - Age bias - Starting Square - The Innovation Stack - Competing successfully against Amazon - Writing The Innovation Stack - And other topics… Jim McKelvey is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded Square. He also founded Invisbily, LaunchCode, and Third Degree Glass Factory. He still serves as the owner of all seven companies he started, but does not hold a leadership position at any of them. In 2017, he was appointed as an independent director of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. He’s the author of three books, the most popular being The Innovation Stack, an inside look into the world of entrepreneurship that details Square’s battle with Amazon. He also wrote The Birth of Baking, a graphic novel about The Bank of America’s conception, and The Art of Fire, a beginner’s guide to glassblowing.

Negotiations don’t always take place in a conference room. A negotiation is simply a discussion where both parties come to an agreement, so we are negotiating all the time. Something as small as talking to family about who’s bringing what to Christmas dinner is a negotiation! And negotiations are not entirely verbal. Whether we realize it or not, we are influencing every negotiation with how we present ourselves. Through paying more attention to our body language, our word choice, and the way we frame information, we can intentionally evoke more information from others, which can help us establish trust and build stronger relationships! This episode of YAP Snacks will feature several pieces of negotiating advice from Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator and CEO of The Black Swan Group, where he’s using his extensive career in international crisis mitigation and high-stakes negotiation situations to teach people how to better negotiate and refine their communication style. Stay tuned to find out more about refining your communication style to get what you want in everyday negotiations!

Too many people are stuck in the past: old ideas, old technologies, and old ways of living. When we don’t embrace change, we don’t grow or evolve. Accepting change and using it to fuel our growth is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves in every area of our lives. But how can we resist our natural inkling toward predictability and become comfortable with change? To answer that question, Hala invited Jason Feifer, a champion of change, onto Young and Profiting podcast. Jason is the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. He hosts two podcasts that focus on how to take hold of change and use it to your advantage. He’s also the author of the newly released book, Build For Tomorrow, which outlines how to use the power of change to your advantage using wisdom from some of the brightest minds in the world. In this episode of YAP, Hala and Jason talk about how entrepreneurial thinking differs from the rest of the population, and how embracing entrepreneurial thinking can help you find more opportunities that you wouldn’t otherwise have seen, even if you’re not an entrepreneur. They explain how to stack your skills in order to open new doors for yourself, why we resist change, and how humanity has resisted change throughout history. He also explains how we can use failure as data and view new situations as temporary experiments rather than permanent commitments. Topics Include: - How well do you really know your audience? - Why Jason renamed one of his podcasts - Opportunity Set B - Parkinson’s Law - Seeing loss as opportunity - Viewing opportunities as temporary experiments - Defining traits of an entrepreneur - Using failure as data - The truth about time management - The 1907 Teddy bear crisis - Jason’s actionable advice for becoming more profitable - And other topics… Jason Feifer is the Editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and champion of change. He has led an extensive career as a journalist, working at publications such as Fast Company, Men’s Health, and Maxim Magazine. He hosts two podcasts: Build For Tomorrow and Problem Solver.

Since the 1970s, we have viewed business as a way to make money, not make a difference. However, the way we view the role of business is changing. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs believe that purpose is the primary function of business, not profits. If your career and your organization exist solely to make money, you will likely lose motivation to keep going after you’ve met all your major milestones. When we infuse purpose into every level of our businesses (and lives), we are building more fulfilling careers and inadvertently becoming more profitable. By aligning your organization with a mission, you attract customers who want to uplift that mission. Plus, the profits generated by those customers will satisfy your stakeholders, so it’s a win-win! On today’s YAP Snack, I want to explore how to build a purpose-driven business by sharing wisdom from entrepreneurs who have successfully aligned their companies with a powerful mission. Tune in to hear what John Mackey, Derrick Kinney, and Darius Mirshahzadeh have to say about purpose, conscious capitalism, core values, and using your money to fuel your purpose.

The RAS is a bundle of nerves at our brainstem that filters out unnecessary information from our subconscious so that only the important stuff gets through to our conscious minds. It keeps our conscious minds from being overwhelmed with too much information by acting as a doorway between our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. Our RAS determines what’s important to us by examining our past experiences. If your past is filled with pain, trauma, and limiting beliefs, then that’s what your RAS will seek out. This is why people get stuck in patterns of self-destruction; their brains are operating on autopilot, and their past programming holds them back from success. On today’s YAP Snack, we talk about how to reprogram your RAS by sharing some of my best tips from the experts. Utilizing these tips will create long-lasting change in the way you perceive yourself and the world. Topics include: -What is your RAS? -How our RAS filters out information -The Law of Attraction -Controlling our subconscious mind -Building a powerful morning routine -Challenging your internal dialogue -And other topics… Sponsored By: Black Pearl Mail - Turn your sign offs into sign ups with blackpearlmail.com Podbean - Sabio - Go to sabio.la/yap and save $125 on your total bootcamp cost!
