    Episode 89: Simplifier Multiplier Collaboration Jul 21, 2020

    Peter and Dan discuss one of Dan’s latest concepts: are you a Simplifier or a Multiplier? Every great entrepreneur is primarily one or the other, and identifying which category you most fall into offers meaningful insight into the way you instinctively create value.

    In this episode:

    • Dan talks about his book Simplifier-Multiplier Collaboration and one of the strategies it highlights: once you identify as either a simplifier or multiplier, you can find the perfect collaborator: your opposite. Simplifier-Multiplier collaborations often lead to unprecedented breakthroughs and results, giving entrepreneurs the freedom to focus exclusively on what they do best.
    • Peter discusses the challenge wherein entrepreneurs attempt to play both roles out of necessity, but emphasizes that entrepreneurs tend to add greatest value when left to act on their natural affinities.
    • Dan elaborates on the problems that arise when a simplifier tries to play the role of a multiplier, or vice versa. In this scenario, each type becomes a “complicator,” and hence departs from one’s most useful state.
    Episode 88: Cracking the Vitality Code Jun 24, 2020

    Peter and Dan discuss a number of longevity and pharmaceutical companies that are working to crack the vitality code of life. Exponential technologies, from machine learning to CRISPR, are enabling scientists to probe medical data, understand aging, and reverse its processes like never before.

    Episode 86: Business Model Innovation May 11, 2020

    Peter and Dan discuss how evolutionary pressures speed up innovation, agreeing that the pandemic will accelerate technological progress and change our lives forever. In the arc of contemporary history, we will remember a clear distinction between life “Pre-COVID-19” and “Post-COVID-19.” To this effect, Peter and Dan demonstrate how business model innovation is at an all-time high, fueling historic levels of productivity and creativity for entrepreneurs in our new “work-from-home” economy.

    In this episode:

    • Peter talks about the search for grand challenges — problems that make you angry, or new phenomena you can’t live without — and the process by which you can turn these into solutions or new business models.
    • Dan argues that “scary times” should not be so scary for tenacious entrepreneurs. As the most successful CEOs constantly face risks and unknowns, COVID-19’s uncertainties provide the perfect conditions for entrepreneurs to fail, learn, and thrive… Because building a successful business requires grit, perseverance, and trial by fire.
    • Peter illustrates how intense pressure speeds up the inevitable. In a pre-COVID marketplace, when business owners knew they needed to downsize a department or kill a venture, most put it off “until tomorrow.” Yet as COVID-19 drives businesses to the edge, there is no debating, and one must take action.
    Episode 85: Evolution of Work Apr 30, 2020

    Peter and Dan discuss Software as a Service (SaaS) and AIaaS, both vital tools for businesses seeking to scale with a leaner organization. Particularly as workforces become distributed and companies race to digitize, cloud computing is now more important than ever before.

    • Peter mentions a company “Energy Vault” that is specializing in gravitational energy storage. Its primary product is a gravity battery that utilizes a multi-headed crane to store energy in a stacked tower of heavy blocks made from concrete.
    • Dan mentions that energy is becoming exponential, because as more and more energy is available, human aspirations for using energy increases.
    • Peter discusses another company “Heliogen” that is using concentrated solar energy to exceed temperatures greater than 1,000 degrees Celsius, transforming sunlight to create and replace fuels.
    Episode 79: Free Zone Frontier Dec 03, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss an effective strategy whereby entrepreneurs and established companies eliminate competition, not by overtaking competitors, but rather by building new partnerships through collaborative opportunities.

    In this episode:

    • Dan defines and illustrates his concept of the “free zone frontier.” By establishing a partnership between two well-positioned capabilities, one party–the designated “simplifier”–provides a new solution while its counterpart serves as a massive “multiplier.”
    • Peter offers the example of Amazon’s open sourcing of its internal company software platforms, allowing competitors to use its services and, in turn, make them cheaper for Amazon. By purchasing Amazon fulfillment and customer service, for instance, firms gives Amazon far more data, improving their services while making them cheaper.

    Episode 76: Adding 30 Years to Your Healthspan Sep 24, 2019

    With the rise of exponential health technologies, Peter and Dan investigate newly available business opportunities using their “first order implications” framework. When biotech advancements turn sickcare into healthcare, and science adds an additional 20-30 healthy years to our lifespans, what new markets emerge (and which ones disappear)? Peter and Dan discuss the implications to businesses, customers, and society as a whole.

    In this episode:

    • Dan delves into the social implications of people having longer professional lives, predicting that mandatory retirement will be moved back by at least 10 years.
    • Peter discusses education industry transformations that will result from people having 2-3 careers. Similarly, once people begin to have far more free time, implications within the travel, tourism, and entertainment industries will unlock new challenges and business opportunities.
    • Peter forecasts our increased food demand over coming decades as people live longer. Consequently, he and Dan project a surge in the lab-grown meat market, which will lead to better-tasting, lower-waste, and far more environmentally sound food production.
    Episode 75: Private Space Exploration Sep 09, 2019

    Peter and Dan launch into a comprehensive update on space exploration. As governments and corporations alike pursue reusable spacecraft, extra-planetary manufacturing tools and cheaper launch systems, this discussion focuses on the remarkable initiatives of private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, now eclipsing government capabilities in speed and scale.

    In this episode:

    • Peter examines the primary reasons for which today’s space companies focus on reusable launch systems and landing large payloads on the Moon.
    • Dan and Peter discuss how the human body reacts to long-term, zero-gravity environments, as well as the precautions needed when living on the Moon or in extra-planetary colonies.

    In this episode:

    • Dan uses historical examples to demonstrate the notion that process has often defined the real estate and construction industries (think: the premade Sears house kits, which democratized home design for American consumers). He further teases the question: how will today’s explosion of versatile and autonomous construction methods redefine architecture and interior design?
    • Peter depicts a future wherein homes are designed as both functional spaces and augmented reality canvases, unlocking virtual living for AR users. White walls might become the day’s scenery of choice; compact homes allow for multi-use efficiency; and sensor-embedded walls allow homeowners and office managers to monitor everything constantly.
    • Dan and Peter agree on AI’s collaborative role in designing, beautifying, and optimizing human homes. Our new creative assistants, AIs will serve to both enhance our aesthetic and streamline energy-efficient construction.
    Episode 73: Revolutionizing Real Estate Jul 11, 2019

    Location. Location. Location. Physical proximity has long been the name of the game. Yet as autonomous vehicles, virtual offices, and gigabit connection speeds transform our everyday lives, real estate markets are about to experience the massive waves created by these disruptions. Peter and Dan discuss the implications for real estate as convergence reshapes how we live, work, and play.

    In this episode:

    • Peter illustrates how today’s low-value, long-distance real estate becomes far more attractive as air taxis and autonomous vehicle fleets make physical distance immaterial.
    • Dan discusses the legal ramifications as regulators attempt to catch up to technological advances, and entrepreneurs gain an unprecedented opportunity to participate in drafting new laws.
    • Peter explores the critical role of AI: fast approaching (near) human-level intelligence, AIs will soon begin to replace middlemen across countless industries, disrupting traditional real estate brokers and personalizing our physical — and virtual — spaces.
    Episode 72: When to Kill a Company Jun 24, 2019

    Peter and Dan examine one of the most challenging decisions faced by serial entrepreneurs: when is the right time to kill a company? Illustrating firsthand stories of past company failures, they discuss the most tell-tale signs of dwindling passion and poor long-term prospects. If only plowing ahead out of obligation to investors, you might have reached the optimal time to kill an idea.

    Peter and Dan discuss continuous education as critical in the 21st century to take advantage of new opportunities and develop new capabilities. With technology changing every month, week and even day, your agility as an entrepreneur depends on your ability to learn new skills and instantly apply this knowledge.

    In this episode:

    • Peter talks about the fundamentally broken global education system and his belief that exponential technology will completely transform how we learn in the next decade. He gives an example of AI-driven education curating an AR experience, in which digital avatars have conversations with you to create the most impactful experience you’d never be able to have from reading a book.
    • Dan and Peter agree the old system was not a system of inspiration or creativity, but a system of doing what you’re told. The new system will be customized education, where AI is helping people learn in the best ways for them.
    • Peter talks about the gamification of learning and gives an example of an unemployed workforce playing games all day and learning. Once they master a certain level, an employer can offer then a job or a higher paying position.
    Episode 70: The Future of Higher Education May 06, 2019

    Peter and Dan continue their hiring discussion with a focus on higher education and the ongoing debate of apprenticeships versus business school. As millennials represent more and more of the job market, should the next generation of leaders go into debt pursuing a degree or acquire business acumen through various forms of apprenticeship?

    In this episode:

    • Peter talks about interviewing a recent employee who decided to get an MBA at Stanford Business school and his takeaways in a recent blog.
    • As an employer who has hired hundreds of candidates, Dan shares tips as we head towards a world where you can know anything you want, anytime you want.

    Episode 69: Setting Expectations With New Hires Apr 22, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss one of the biggest problems with the hiring process: most of the time, a job description doesn’t provide enough information to create a successful relationship between an employer and a new employee. In Episode 67, they shared best practices within their own companies; in this follow-up episode, Peter and Dan discuss a specific agreement that communicates expectations to a new team member.

    In this episode:

    • Dan explains his dislike of team management meetings and why he developed a new tool called the 4×4. This thinking process helps you clarify and then communicate your expectations to team members.
    • Peter talks about the importance of ensuring his team loves what they are doing and feels fulfilled, while still providing the support needed to meet company objectives.
    • Dan shares a successful example of hiring a recent employee with a 4×4, and discusses how your organization can use this upfront communication tool for better results.
    Episode 68: Flipping the Insurance Industry Apr 07, 2019

    In this episode:

    • Peter believes insurance will start to disappear for most people as tech companies begin covering costs (i.e. autonomous car companies like Waymo offering free insurance to their riders).
    • Dan talks about how AI will disrupt the middleman. He outlines a future scenario in which most individuals will purchase life insurance from a robot online, because the process will be that instant, easy and accurate.
    • Peter and Dan discuss how insurance companies should flip the business model from retrospectively protecting from risk to proactively protecting you from risk. This would force insurance companies to keep customers alive longer to retain their business.
    Episode 67: Hiring Great Humans Mar 20, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss one of the most important aspects in any organization: hiring. They discuss best practices in their own companies, and Dan shares tools that have helped Strategic Coach retain team members for over 25 years.

    In this episode:

    • Peter and Dan discuss the idea that most of the talented professionals on Earth aren’t looking for you and your business. To attract their attention, you must show them your ethos, what you stand for, and the type of world you want to create.
    • Peter says the term “work” has a bad connotation, and should be redefined as a cause to which you want to contribute, or someone to whom you want to be a hero. As Dan says, “Properly structured, working is one the great sources of meaning and pleasure in a lifetime.”
    • Dan discusses hiring people for roles that align with their Unique Ability — an individual’s distinct set of mindsets and capabilities. A core tenet of Strategic Coach is helping entrepreneurs and team members alike focus on their Unique Ability and effectively collaborate.
    Episode 66: Living to 156 Years Mar 05, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss Dan’s new book, “My Plan for Living to 156,” and their shared belief that mindset is critical to longevity.

    • Peter discusses why purpose is fundamental to longevity, and why humans are purpose-driven animals.
    • Dan and Peter describe your mindset as a skill like a muscle; just as you’d go to the gym to build muscle, you must always train your mindset. Reinventing who you are in the present when new technology comes online is critical for a happy, long life.
    Episode 65: The World Becoming Automagical Feb 18, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss the recent bankruptcy of retail giant Sears. After being in business for 132 years, converging exponential technologies ultimately led to Sears’ downfall.

    They discuss the future of retail, in which AI knows everything and the experience is “automagical.” As the world is automated, AI will be able to leverage large data sets to predict exactly what you want.

    In this episode:

    • Peter describes the transformation of the retail experience. In the past, you might think of something you need, look it up in the Yellow Pages and then go to the store to see if it was in stock. In the future, you might instead have a frictionless conversation with your AI, which is always listening and knows your preferences.
    • Dan and Peter talk about the fact that every company will eventually go bankrupt. If you’re not constantly trying to fundamentally reinvent your company now, how can you make a massive change?
    • Peter gives the example of ExP Worldwide, a company that went from the 2008 real estate crisis to reinventing as a fully virtual company with zero offices and a virtual campus for staff to meet online.
    Episode 64: Privacy Is Dead Jan 13, 2019

    Peter and Dan discuss the idea of privacy and how it is a recent human invention. A thousand years ago, people didn’t assume the level of privacy we enjoy today. Do we assume privacy is a right, when it never existed?

    In this episode:

    • Peter discusses how wrongdoing becomes harder in a world without privacy. When everyone is watching, you’re more likely to think about the consequences of your planned actions. 

    • Dan believes blockchain will become ubiquitous because of public demand. He outlines a future business model in which companies that make money on someone’s personal information will pay users a small percentage of the profits their data earn.

    • Peter discusses a future scenario with an AI software shell that watches everything all the time. As owners of this technology, we will give it permission to watch us and collect every piece of data on us so that it can make decisions that improve our lives.

    Episode 63: The Future of Real Estate Dec 11, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss one of the undeniable human needs — shelter and a sense of safety — and how the real estate and property ownership industry will transform in the next decade as exponential technologies disrupt the “middleman.”

    In this episode:

    • Peter describes technologies changing the real estate game, including aerial ridesharing and transportation-as-a-service, VR office headquarters, and 3D-printing personalized houses in days.
    • Dan mentions that humans will always crave a sense of “home,” a place where you want to relax, and how virtual houses won’t be able to replicate this feeling.
    • Peter described the process of buying a new house and why “Smart Houses” connected to the IoT, imbuing the house with intelligence and making it responsive, will change the way we interact.
    Episode 62: Accelerating Innovation Nov 27, 2018

    Dan and Peter discuss a common theme in theme in Silicon Valley — namely, that most people have no idea how quickly things are changing. The world is accelerating for a multitude of reasons, and the rate of acceleration is itself accelerating. In Peter’s words, this means, “We’re headed towards an amazing adventure in the next few decades.”

    In this episode:

    • Peter and Dan discuss the accelerating technologies and innovation happening in China, and reasons why this is happening now.
    • Dan discusses his book “My Plan for Living to 156” and why an innovation mindset is critical not only for entrepreneurs, but for life extension.

    Episode 61: Gratitude for Technology Nov 10, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss a mindset that is missing from most technologists: one of gratitude and appreciation for past generations’ accomplishments in a non-technological age. These breakthroughs have enabled today’s entrepreneurs to take advantage of exponential technologies.

    In this episode:

    • Dan reflects on the topic of proactive gratitude. How do you get a sense of appreciation for an experience in a world where everything is continuously provided for you, at low cost, fast and easy… especially when you don’t have to do anything to earn or deserve this efficiency?
    • Peter shares his gratitude that we have the ability to even discuss solving world problems. Before, only governments or heads of state could have these discussions. Today, anyone can ‘call their own shot’ at global impact.
    • Peter and Dan discuss shifting their mindset from expectation to appreciation and gratitude. They reflect on travel technology and how people complain about a short 45-minute flight delay. If put into perspective, the same trip 100 years ago would have taken months, with the potential of death.
    Episode 60: Transforming Entertainment Oct 29, 2018

    Storytelling is universal, and there will always be room in entertainment for a great storyteller. In this episode, Peter and Dan examine the entertainment industry, and specifically how the 6 D’s of Exponentials can be used to see where the entertainment industry will go next.

    In this episode:

    • Peter and Dan discuss entertainment business models and why there is massive opportunity in the area of how money is made.
    • Dan discusses the evolution of moviemaking, from the early Hollywood studio days to Netflix spending more money on original content than all studios combined today.

    Episode 59: AI Disrupting the Middleman Oct 09, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss the disintermediation of the insurance industry, and specifically how AI will disrupt the middleman in all industries.

    In this episode:

    • Peter and Dan talk about using technology to gather and evaluate increasingly more data. When will tech companies who know the most about you enter the insurance industry?
    • Peter gives his view of the future of health insurance, where big data is so personalized that you will only pay for your exact needs instead of covering the masses.
    • Peter and Dan discuss a range of ideas: what happens to life insurance when you live 30 extra years? What becomes of auto insurance when autonomous cars don’t have accidents?
    Episode 58: Digital Avatars Creating an Abundance of Time Sep 14, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss an exciting new experience using virtual reality technology to attend live presentations anywhere in the world. Peter also describes his experience after a 90-minute VR presentation, taking off his headset and snapping back into the real world at the XPRIZE office.

    Episode 57: Who, Not How Aug 07, 2018

    Dan explains why entrepreneurs struggle with procrastination and introduces a new method he uses to implement new ideas.

    Changing the thought process from “how to do this” to “who can do this” is a game-changer.

    In this episode:

    • Peter explains using the “Who, Not How” method in his company, and why instead of creating a to-do list, he spends the year creating Impact Filters (a Strategic Coach client tool) explaining why the project is important, defining criteria for success, and then picking a point person to implement the task.
    • Dan explains why first-time entrepreneurs start with how — because at the beginning, there’s no one else to delegate to — but as time goes on and the company grows, this becomes a bad habit.
    • Peter gives an example of gaining back hundreds of hours of time, an Abundance of time, by delegating a project to his summer interns.
    Episode 56: Passing the Turing Test Jul 15, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss Google Duplex, an AI system capable of conducting natural conversations to carry out “real world” tasks over the phone. The technology is directed towards completing specific tasks, such as scheduling certain types of appointments and makes the conversational experience as natural as possible, allowing people to speak normally — like they would to another person — without having to adapt to a machine.

    In this episode:

    • Peter talks about the Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, as a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human, and why he believes Google Duplex has conquered this feat. Read the Google blog here.
    • Dan and Peter discuss the implications of technology like this, when AI’s master realistic voice-synthesizing, and the societal and legal ramifications. Will AI’s be required to self-identify by law? Should they?
    • Peter describes a future where AI’s impact the education industry and believes we are less than 5 years away from this disruption.
    Episode 55: The Immorality of Mortality Jun 24, 2018

    Peter and Dan discuss a recent trip to Vatican City, where the XPRIZE Vision Circle & Innovation Board members met on the annual Adventure Trip to discuss longevity and regenerative medicine, piggybacking on the United to Cure conference hosted by the Pope.
