    #16 Austin's Leadership Yoda Wayland Lum: Turning Corporate Ladders into Leadership Jungle Gyms Jul 01, 2024
    Show notes

    What does the movie "Inside Out" teach us about leadership?

    My conversation with Wayland Lum from Copperbox Leadership Advisory, who brought up "fear is the precursor to courage," reminded me of Joy and Sadness in "Inside Out."

    The movie is all about human emotions. And there's this interesting dynamic between Joy and Sadness in the movie. The big lesson is that you can't really appreciate joy if you've never experienced sadness. I see a similar principle in what you were saying about fear and courage. They are not as separate as we might think. They are two sides of the same coin.

    In this episode, you'll find out why fear isn't your enemy, but rather your courage's hype man. Wayland also shared his 8 principles of modern leadership. His moves from California to Mexico to Chicago and London. From Nvidia to Chicago Booth to Korn Ferry, now building his own leadership advisory practice in Austin, Texas. Lastly, his views on the AI coaching.

    Episode Breakdown:

    00:14—Welcome and Introductions: Meet Your Human Host (While Human Intelligence is still Valued)

    02:54—The Great Escape: Why Wayland decided to ditch the cushy corporate life and bet on himself. Spoiler: It wasn't for the free snacks

    11:33—"We Develop Modern Leaders to Face the Biggest Business Challenges": How Wayland Defines Modern in the Context of Leadership?

    15:33—Wayland's Eight Principles of Modern Leadership:

  • Get Grounded in Core Purpose
  • Pick up the Torch of Leadership
  • Understand the Origins of Humanity
  • Embrace Life's Stages and Seasons
  • See in Systems
  • Nature as Majestic Teacher
  • Shackles of Time Forged by Humans
  • Technologies as Tools
  • 24:48—Wayland on AI coaching: "Coaching involves human connection, empathy, and understanding deeply personal experiences. We must ask ourselves, is an interaction with AI what we want, or do we seek genuine human connection and support?"

    Waverly, often compared to “the Simon Cowell of the Chicago Booth New Venture Challenge,” is celebrated not just for her straightforward feedback but for coupling it with practical, transformative advice.

    #12 From Theatre Historian to Chicago Booth Entrepreneurship Professor: Waverly Deutsch Marries Her Love of Theatre with a Passion for Logic Jun 08, 2024
    Show notes

    This is Part 1 of our three-part series "Love and Logic."

    Waverly Deutsch joins us as our special guest to share how the dynamic interplay of passion and reason has shaped her career and life choices. This episode dives into Waverly’s captivating journey, with future episodes delving into her influential tenure at Chicago Booth and her latest venture, WyseHeart Advisory, which operates under the mantra of “tough love for entrepreneurs.”

    Why Waverly?

    Known as “the Simon Cowell of the Chicago Booth New Venture Challenge,” Waverly is celebrated for her straightforward feedback. Yet, unlike Cowell’s often blunt critiques, Waverly’s tough love always comes with a constructive twist. After telling someone, “You just talked for ten minutes and we have no idea what you do,” she’ll add, “and I want to work with you because there are three things we can do to fix it.” That’s the kind of coach and professor she is—direct yet deeply supportive.

    Episode Breakdown:

    00:56 — Introduction to “Love & Logic” Series: What sparked this series? What can listeners expect from this episode and the ones to follow?

    3:46 — Exploring Identities: “My twin passions for theatre and logic have always driven me,” Waverly shares. Discover how these seemingly disparate interests have shaped her approach to teaching and coaching.

    7:45 — Breaking Ground in STEM: Journey back to the early ’80s as Waverly recounts her experience as one of the four women in her computer science class, finding her tribe among like-minded ‘nerds.’

    10:31 — Defying Gender Norms: Waverly reflects on her upbringing as a tomboy and challenges the traditional gender associations with love and logic. “These are human traits, not bound by gender,” she asserts.

    12:41 — From Tech to Theatre: Why the dramatic shift from a computer science major to a Theatre PhD? Waverly explains, “I realized teaching is my calling.”

    15:27 — A Serendipitous Detour: Joining Forrester Research early on and experiencing its growth to a public company—was it luck, destiny, or something else?

    21:43 — The Art of Decision-Making: Waverly discusses how she navigates through career choices. “It’s about blending analysis with going with the flow,” she explains.

    26:54 — Debunking Business Myths: “It’s a myth that business isn’t personal. At the end of the day, it’s all about people,” Waverly talks about the interplay of emotions in business.

    34:44 — Filtering Out the Noise: How to deal with peer pressure and societal judgments? Waverly offers advice on building a supportive community and developing resilience, “so you can stand strong even when the world isn’t quite ready for you.”

    #10 Media and Entertainment Mogul Turned Legacy Architect, César Couto Ferreira: I Build People, not Products May 08, 2024
    Show notes

    Can a philosopher's heart and a commercial executive's mind coexist for the greater good?

    Ask César, a former DJ, MTV and Vice Media executive, and champion at the Web Summit in Lisbon.

    When you're enveloped in a world of bubble-like glamour, man-made fame, grand titles, and substantial paychecks, it feels too comfortable to make even the slightest move. That's a push factor.

    However, don't overlook the pull factor: a vision on the horizon, a voice that is uniquely yours, your own intellectual property, your legacy, your trademarks.

    Career Change Master: César Couto Ferreira

    César, now based in Porto, initially dazzled as a DJ and TV presenter before sculpting a prominent executive career at MTV Networks, a pillar of global youth entertainment within Viacom's portfolio. In the midst of the industry's pivotal shift from analog to digital media, he led the charge in launching operations across Portugal, Italy, and Greece, working alongside music legends such as MADONNA, COLDPLAY, R.E.M., and AMY WINEHOUSE. After his impactful tenure at MTV, César took the reins as General Manager at Vice Media in Portugal. He later took a creative leap from SABSEG to Brazil, where he co-founded Fabrica de Futuro, pioneering new frontiers in media.

    Currently, César is involved in business development at olio.is and Streamhub, continuing to influence the changing media landscape.

    #9 Heart Attack Survivor Turned Chief Burnout Officer, Michael Levitt: Buy an Alarm Clock, Ditch Your Smartphone May 05, 2024
    Show notes

    Would you call this bad luck or burnout—heart attack, job loss, car repossession, and home foreclosure, all happening to the same person in one year?

    More than ten years ago, Michael found himself in exactly this catastrophic situation.

    At that time, society was far less open about discussing burnout and its severe impacts on both individuals and companies. Facing these challenges head-on, Michael endured a heart attack induced by severe burnout—a modern-day epidemic equivalent to a heart attack in its sudden and profound impact.

    Having survived these trials, he has now shifted gears to assist people, leaders, and organisations, both large and small.

    Career Change Master: Michael D. Levitt

    San Diego's Michael began his career in the aisles of a grocery store. He has since cultivated expertise in diverse areas, including accounting, finance, IT support and operations, business development, healthcare, and insurance.

    Currently, Michael is the Chief Burnout Officer and Founder at Breakfast Leadership Network. Also, Michael hosts a Top 200 podcast . He is also the author of a book called Burnout Proof.
