320: Fri-Date | The Ultimate Stress Test to Validate Your Ideas Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

You’ve heard us recommend playing “Stupid Idea Time” in order to come up with new ideas and new paths for yourself. But when it comes down to choosing one, how do you start singling out the genius from the stupid? Just ask yourself one question: What if it works? When you start imagining the end result of what your day-to-day life would look like if your idea works, you start to see if it’s actually going to get you to the results you had hoped for—and that’s what separates the stupid ideas from the brilliant.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:34] Testing your ideas by asking “What if it works?”
[11:48] Starting with your life instead of your business
[16:26] Not compromising on your end goal

Show notes

Jamie Metzl is a technology and healthcare futurist, geopolitics expert, and the author of “Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity.” He is the smartest, craziest, and most interesting guy that I’ve ever interviewed — really, he’s who I hope to be when I grow up — and he paints a vision of the future that is both more informed and more hopeful than most.

Jamie previously served in the U.S. National Security Council, State Department, Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as a Human Rights Officer for the United Nations in Cambodia, and in February 2019, he was appointed to the World Health Organization expert advisory committee on developing global standards for the governance and oversight of human genome editing. This dude knows his stuff, he knows how to have fun, and I can’t think of a better way to end the very weird year than by imagining a better future.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[04:35] How Jamie’s life was shaped by hearing his dad’s story of fleeng Nazi Europe
[13:00] Nature, nurture, and fate
[17:40] What does a Human Rights Officer do?

[28:20] What was your motivation behind writing "The Depths of the Sea,” a historical novel?
[31:28] Why write “Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity?”
[35:15] Why do people get freaked out when AI is mentioned and are their fears warranted?
[38:20] What are your thoughts on putting technology inside of the human body?
[52:18] Rapid fire round

313: Fri-Date | How To Get Through Inevitable Pivots In Life & Business Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

Today’s Topic: Pivoting

At some point, we all end up finding something that works and just sticking with it — we get comfortable and complacent, and as a result, we stop trying new things, whether that’s in our business or in our personal life. But if you’re never changing things up, you’re never going to get better. That’s why I’m always asking myself, “What can I do to make my life just 10% better?” If the experiment doesn't work, I stop and shift gears. And we can all benefit from developing a system for trying new things and seeing what works instead of just settling with the same old routine. If you don’t, you’re going to end up just living life by default.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:47] Not screwing up what’s already successful
[07:09] Finding success through a perceived failure
[11:46] Being willing to abandon something that isn’t working
[20:27] Creating life through intentional design
