MBS941 - The GAS Network Pilot Forum Oct 25, 2025

After more than 1,000 interviews with founders, CEOs, and investors on The Matt Brown Show, I realized something — every time a great conversation ended, it ended.

We'd share insights, then everyone went back to their corners of the world.

So I built the GAS Network to change that.

It’s a private space where alumni and friends of the show can connect, collaborate, and 10x the conversations that matter — not just one-on-one, but many-to-many.

In this first forum, we covered the realities and myths of AI, prompt engineering, the impact of automation on jobs, ethical considerations, and why human skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration will only grow in value.

There’s strong interest in making this forum a recurring event — likely every two weeks — so we can keep these conversations alive and evolving.

It’s not about me. It’s about us — the people shaping companies, leading industries, and pushing the limits of what’s next.

This is the community I wish I’d started ten years ago.

MBS886- Hyper Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change With Edward D. Hess Feb 10, 2025

The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't.
Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models.
Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices.

MBS879-- Inclusify With Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson Jan 24, 2025

Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong?
The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends.
In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves.
By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.

MBS878- How to Eat Your Competitors Lunch with Anthony Iannarino Jan 22, 2025

Like it or not, sales is often a zero-sum game: Your win is someone else's loss. Most salespeople work in mature, overcrowded industries, and your offerings are perceived (often unfairly) as commodities. Growth requires taking market share from your competitors, while they try to do the same to you. How else can you grow 12 percent a year in an industry that's only growing by 3 percent? It's not easy for any salesperson to execute a competitive displacement--or, in other words, "eat their lunch." You might think this requires a bloodthirsty "whatever it takes" attitude, but that's the opposite of what works. If you act like a Mafia don, you only make yourself difficult to trust and impossible to see as a long-term partner.

MBS858- Hyper Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change With Edward D. Hess Sep 02, 2024

The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't.
Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models.
Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices.

Ibarra turns the usual “think first and then act” philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.
Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this episode will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It’s time to learn by doing.

MBS851- Inclusify With Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson Aug 16, 2024

Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong?
The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends.
In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves.
By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.

MBS850- How to Eat Your Competitors Lunch with Anthony Iannarino Aug 14, 2024

Like it or not, sales is often a zero-sum game: Your win is someone else's loss. Most salespeople work in mature, overcrowded industries, and your offerings are perceived (often unfairly) as commodities. Growth requires taking market share from your competitors, while they try to do the same to you. How else can you grow 12 percent a year in an industry that's only growing by 3 percent? It's not easy for any salesperson to execute a competitive displacement--or, in other words, "eat their lunch." You might think this requires a bloodthirsty "whatever it takes" attitude, but that's the opposite of what works. If you act like a Mafia don, you only make yourself difficult to trust and impossible to see as a long-term partner. Join Matt and Anthony for their deep dive on competition, the coming recession, and COVID's impact on businesses.

While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment.

MBS759 - Influence vs. Influencer Marketing: How to Harness Real Influence That Drives Meaningful Impact Dec 19, 2023

When you hear the word 'influence,' who do you think of? The person on LinkedIn with 100k followers? The SaaS company that hires a thought leader to advocate for their product?
People can be 'influencers' without necessarily having real 'influence.' In the context of B2B, brands (and their leaders) who have influence focus on elevating others, rather than themselves.
In his book, “Secrets of Influence,” Matt Brown dives into the heart of what influence truly means, highlighting that real influence isn't about vanity metrics but meaningful impact.
In this episode of Closing Time, Matt helps B2B sellers and marketers create their own influence, and harness the influence of others, which might be the missing ingredients your brand needs.

MBS689- Secrets of #Fail: The Building and Failing of Africa's Best Tech Startup (Secrets of #Fail 75) Jun 09, 2023

Welcome back to another captivating episode of The Matt Brown Show! In this unique edition, Matt Brown takes center stage to share his personal story of failure in the "Secret to Fail" series.
Delving into his story of failure, Matt takes us back to when he founded his previous company, Digital Kungfu, in South Africa. Initially serving a diverse range of clients, Matt realized the potential in narrowing their focus to the technology space. Inspired by renowned author Christopher Lockhead and his books "Play Bigger" and "Niche Down," Map took the leap and successfully carved out a niche for Digital Kungfu in the technology industry.
With an unbeatable operating model, Digital Kungfu thrived, expanding its reach from Cape Town to Cairo and even the United Arab Emirates. Revenue doubled every year for three consecutive years, and the company established strong relationships with major distributors. However, as growth opportunities within existing relationships diminished, the company had to explore international markets.
In the midst of these hardships, Matt made the difficult decision to sell the business and relocate to the United States. Unfortunately, the timing was unfavorable, and selling the company became increasingly challenging due to declining revenues. Despite his best efforts, Matt had to accept the closure of the business, leaving employees jobless and himself and his wife facing the daunting task of rebuilding their lives.

MBS520 - How to create a culture of prevention with touch-based alcohol detection - Dave Gandini (Built in Colorado #7) Dec 03, 2022

The annual cost of alcohol abuse in the U.S. is $249 billion. Nearly half of all industrial accidents with injuries are alcohol-related, and 1-in-10 U.S. commercial drivers test positive for alcohol (the highest rate worldwide). In response, SOBRsafe™ has developed a proprietary, touch-based identity verification, alcohol detection and cloud-based reporting system. The technology is transferable across innumerable form factors, including stationary access control, personal wearables and for telematics integration.
A preventative solution in a historically reactive industry, it is being deployed for commercial fleets and workplaces; other intended applications include managed care and young drivers. This patent-pending alcohol detection solution helps prevent an intoxicated worker from taking the factory floor, or a driver the vehicle keys. An offender is immediately flagged, and the employer (or parent, rehab sponsor, etc.) is empowered to take the appropriate action. At SOBRsafe, they are creating a culture of prevention.

Ethan is the co-founder and CEO of Propagateag.com - a startups that has raised $15M to grow their market share of the agroforestry industry. Agroforestry is the integration of fruit, nut and timber trees with animal or crop farming systems. Strategies such as alley cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks, and riparian buffers can compliment existing yields, increasing your farm's profitability while securing cost savings through ecosystem services such as carbon, water, nutrient, and soil retention.
Agroforestry Sequesters Carbon Our carbon cycle is currently broken: by way of fossil fuel usage and land degradation, humans are currently converting terrestrial carbon into atmospheric carbon far more quickly than we are putting that carbon back into the ground. A tree is the opposite of a smoke stack. Trees pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in their woody trunk and branches. Just as much carbon can also be stored below-ground in the tree’s roots and soil. Via the liquid carbon pathway, tree roots release sugars into the soil. These sugars feed the beneficial fungi and bacteria in the soil, which in turn provide the tree with the nitrogen it needs to grow. Dead soil looks like sand or the base path of a baseball field, whereas living soil looks like chocolate cake. The accumulation of soil carbon, along with the deposition of leaves onto the soil surface brings soil back to life.

Hera began operations in January of 2020 as a Delaware “C” Corporation with headquarters in San Antonio, TX. Hera’s initial goal is to commercialize the MetriDx™, a novel, non-surgical method for the definitive and early diagnosis of endometriosis. Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stromal-like lesions outside of the uterus.
Endometriosis affects 10-20% of all women of reproductive age; 7-13 million in the US alone. Current diagnosis of endometriosis is by visualization during laparoscopic surgery, confirmed by histological pathology, performed under general anesthesia by a surgeon or gynecologist.
The surgical methodology suffers from being highly site specific, depending on the experience of the surgeon, failure to detect lesions in ~16% of cases and almost half of all biopsies are negative.
Alternatively, many physicians choose to diagnose the disease empirically or, without a definitive diagnosis; this results in multiple “trial & error” interventions, increased liability risk and patient frustration. In most cases, patients suffer between 7-12 years with intense pain before a diagnosis is given and interventions are administered, with 68% of women with endometriosis being misdiagnosed with another condition prior to receiving the correct diagnosis.

MBS486 - SaaS payment optimization - Frank Arellano, CEO Revolv3.com (Built in California #24) Oct 15, 2022

Founded in 2020, Revolv3 is a full stack SaaS payment optimization platform for subscription billing utilizing adaptive technology to deliver the industry’s highest credit card acceptance rates. Our seamless integration enables merchants to instantly achieve transformational revenue growth and superior customer retention at the lowest cost in the industry.
While competitors can help merchants get started, they lack the ability to support these merchants as they scale, so many merchants turn to in-house billing systems. However, over time the expense of maintaining a large e-commerce billing team becomes overwhelming. Instead of focusing on their core business, many of these enterprises are operating their own internal billing firm.
By providing a simple, yet powerful platform for subscription billing management that is optimized for approvals and scalability, companies can confidently grow their business knowing their billing platform will grow with them. They'll get the highest approval rates, grow their top line revenue, and lower their client churn. All at the lowest cost in the industry.

MBS438 - The Mind-Gut Connection with Emeran Mayer Jul 04, 2022

Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of The Second Brain, and The Good Gut that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between the mind and the digestive system.
We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling we get when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has by and large failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the gut microbiota—the microorganisms that live inside our digestive tract—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and provocative look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies.

MBS436 - Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction with Judith Grisel May 20, 2022

Judith Grisel was a daily drug user and college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after twenty-five years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she and other scientists have learned about addiction, enriched by captivating glimpses of her personal journey. In this episode, Grisel reveals the unfortunate bottom line of all regular drug use- there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Drug abuse has been called the most formidable health problem worldwide, and Grisel delves with compassion into the science of this scourge. She points to what is different about the brains of addicts even before they first pick up a drink or drug, highlights the changes that take place in the brain and behavior as a result of chronic using, and shares the surprising hidden gifts of personality that addiction can expose. She describes what drove her to addiction, what helped her recover, and her belief that a ‘cure' for addiction will not be found in our individual brains but in the way, we interact with our communities.

MBS435 - All You Have To Do Is Ask With Wayne Baker May 18, 2022

Imagine you’re on a deadline for a big project, and feeling overwhelmed. Or you’re looking for a new job, but can’t seem to get your foot in the door. Or you’re facing a personal challenge, and just don’t know what to do. What do these problems have in common? They can all be solved simply by reaching out to a colleague, friend, acquaintance, or wider network and making an ask. Studies show that asking for help makes us better and less frustrated at our jobs. It helps us find new opportunities and new talent. It unlocks new ideas and solutions and enhances team performance. And it helps us get the things we need outside the workplace as well. And yet, we rarely give ourselves permission to ask. Luckily, the research shows that asking—and getting—what we need is much easier than we think.

Here, Wayne Baker shares dozens of tools—used at companies like Google, GM, and IDEO—that individuals, teams, and leaders can use to make asking for help a personal and organizational habit, such as SMART criteria for making an ask, “plug-and-play” routines that make requests a standard component of meetings, mini-games that incentivize asking within teams, and the Reciprocity Ring and Givitas, tools that allow people to tap into the giving power of a network.

MBS432 - How to Eat Your Competitors Lunch with Anthony Iannarino May 06, 2022

Like it or not, sales is often a zero-sum game: Your win is someone else's loss. Most salespeople work in mature, overcrowded industries, and your offerings are perceived (often unfairly) as commodities. Growth requires taking market share from your competitors, while they try to do the same to you. How else can you grow 12 percent a year in an industry that's only growing by 3 percent? It's not easy for any salesperson to execute a competitive displacement--or, in other words, "eat their lunch." You might think this requires a bloodthirsty "whatever it takes" attitude, but that's the opposite of what works. If you act like a Mafia don, you only make yourself difficult to trust and impossible to see as a long-term partner. Join Matt and Anthony for their deep dive on competition, the coming recession, and COVID's impact on businesses.

MBS428 - Unlocking Creativity with Michael A. Roberto Apr 26, 2022

Unlocking Creativity is an exploration of the creative process and how organizations can clear the way for innovation. In many organizations, creative individuals face stubborn resistance to new ideas. Managers and executives oftentimes reject innovation and unconventional approaches due to misplaced allegiance to the status quo. Questioning established practices or challenging prevailing sentiments is frequently met with stiff resistance. In this climate of stifled creativity and inflexible adherence to conventional wisdom, potentially game-changing ideas are dismissed outright. Senior leaders claim to value creativity, yet often lack the knowledge to provide a creative framework.
In this episode, best-selling author and scholar Michael Roberto presents a thorough investigation of organizational obstacles to creative thought.

MBS427 - Inclusify With Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson Apr 25, 2022

Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong?
The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends.
In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves.
By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.

How many presentations on innovation have there been recently? Thousands? Millions? We are experiencing 'innovation fatigue': we feel cheated by the endless rounds of consultants who come into our organizations, deliver conceptual models that don't stick with the realities of business, and then leave again. Companies and teams are left feeling more deflated than before, and with not one idea that's impacted the bottom line. Innovation for the Fatigued argues it is worth fighting for the concept and study of innovation in organizations.

Business leaders are always looking over their shoulders for the next Uber moment to overtake them, and they recognize that innovation needs to be a top priority. But how does one innovate?

MBS425 - Hyper Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change With Edward D. Hess Apr 21, 2022

The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't.
Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models.
Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices.

MBS350 - Dark Waters with Environmental Attorney Robert Bilott Dec 13, 2021

In this episode we bring you living superhero and legend Robert Bilott. He joins us to talk about his journey and the movie about his life 'Dark Waters' of how the lawyer, played by Mark Ruffalo, switched allegiances. As happened in real life, the movie depicts Ruffalo’s Bilott as a lawyer who defends large chemical companies before he is approached for help in 1998 by Wilbur Tennant (Bill Camp), a West Virginia farmer whose land was contaminated by chemical giant DuPont. Inflamed by that injustice, and the complicity of local authorities, the lawyer risks his career as he embarks on a decades-long legal siege of one of America’s most powerful corporations. He works, at first, on Tennant’s behalf, then pursues a class action suit representing around 70,000 people living near a chemical plant that allegedly contaminated drinking water with PFOA, a toxic chemical used in the production of Teflon. In recent years, studies have correlated long-term exposure to PFOA with a number of illnesses, including some types of cancer.
In 2017, Bilott won a $671 million settlement on behalf of more than 3,500 plaintiffs. Those people claimed they had contracted diseases, among them kidney cancer and testicular cancer, from chemicals DuPont allegedly knew, may have been dangerous for decades and allowed to contaminate their drinking water anyway.

MBS341 - Here Be Dragons with Richard Mulholland Nov 11, 2021

STOP TELLING STORIES. START SELLING THEM!

The world is rightly obsessed with the incredible power of a good story. Unfortunately too many of us take that to mean that it is our own story that’s important. It’s not. The magic happens not when we tell our customers the story of our past, but when we sell them a new story of their future. One in which we play a part.

As a salesperson (and make no mistake, you are a salesperson) you have two jobs. Job No. 2 of the storyseller is to help your clients and customers slay their dragon. Job No. 1 of the storyseller is to help them see their dragon.

You are in the dragon hunting business, but dragon hunting ain’t easy – there’s work to be done. In this short and highly practical book, renowned speaker Richard Mulholland shares with you how to use powerful stories to change minds, drive sales, and solve problems.

Here Be Dragons isn’t just a how-to book, it is far more a why-to, and mostly a what-to-do book.

“Everyone feels fear. It’s healthy to be afraid,” he says. “But it’s how you deal with it that counts. No matter what you’re facing, fear can be used as a tool to accomplish your goals. When you lean into the fear and move through it, that’s when the magic happens.”

MBS338 - Hyper Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change With Edward D. Hess Oct 01, 2021

The Digital Age will raise the question of how we humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't.
Professor Ed Hess believes that requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models.
Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being and a radical new way of working. In Part 1 of this how-to book, Hess takes a practical workbook approach and helps readers create their Hyper-Learning Mindset, choose and embrace their needed Hyper-Learning Behaviors, and adopt their daily Hyper-Learning Practices.

MBS337 - Inclusify With Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson Sep 27, 2021

Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong?
The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends.
In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves.
By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.

MBS336 - Radical Product Thinking With Radhika Dutt (Entrepreneur & Product Leader) Sep 07, 2021

R. Dutt is an entrepreneur and product leader who has participated in four acquisitions, two of which were companies that she founded.
Iteration rules product development, but it isn't enough to produce dramatic results. This book champions Radical Product Thinking, a systematic methodology for building visionary, game-changing products.

Methodologies such as Lean and Agile have democratized innovation by teaching us to harness the power of iteration to innovate faster, but our ability to set a clear destination hasn't kept up with the pace. When we iterate without a clear vision or strategy, our products become bloated, fragmented, and driven by irrelevant metrics. They catch "product diseases" that are often fatal to true innovation.

In Radical Product Thinking (RPT), product development is led by the vision for the change it's intended to create. This methodology helps leaders reimagine the problems they face and align their team to find creative solutions using five elements: Vision, Strategy, Prioritization, Execution, and Culture. R. Dutt guides readers through these elements so they can develop a clear process for achieving their desired change, incorporate it into daily activities, and turn RPT skills into muscle memory.

MBS333 - All You Have To Do Is Ask With Wayne Baker Aug 26, 2021

Imagine you’re on a deadline for a big project, and feeling overwhelmed. Or you’re looking for a new job, but can’t seem to get your foot in the door. Or you’re facing a personal challenge, and just don’t know what to do. What do these problems have in common? They can all be solved simply by reaching out to a colleague, friend, acquaintance, or wider network and making an ask. Studies show that asking for help makes us better and less frustrated at our jobs. It helps us find new opportunities and new talent. It unlocks new ideas and solutions and enhances team performance. And it helps us get the things we need outside the workplace as well. And yet, we rarely give ourselves permission to ask. Luckily, the research shows that asking—and getting—what we need is much easier than we think.

Here, Wayne Baker shares dozens of tools—used at companies like Google, GM, and IDEO—that individuals, teams, and leaders can use to make asking for help a personal and organizational habit, such as SMART criteria for making an ask, “plug-and-play” routines that make requests a standard component of meetings, mini-games that incentivize asking within teams, and the Reciprocity Ring and Givitas, tools that allow people to tap into the giving power of a network.

MBS327 - The 3-Minute Rule: Say Less to Get More from Any Pitch Or Presentation With Brant Pinvidic Jun 18, 2021

Brant is one of the most successful producers in Hollywood, having sold more than 300 TV and movie projects. From Bar Rescue to The Biggest Loser, he has convinced risk-averse studios to turn over their money for his ideas - not by using his charm (though he is pretty charming), or by calling his ideas the greatest things since sliced bread (though they are pretty great).
Instead, he uses a simple, straightforward system called the WHAC method to boil any idea down to its most essential components, and structure it for maximum impact. By answering the questions- "What is it? How does it work? Are you sure? Can you do it?" you can weave your most crucial points into a compelling narrative structure and use the power of storytelling in any setting and at any level.
It's a method that's helped Brant sell each of his projects in no more than 3 minutes. But it's not just good for pitching Hollywood! Brant shows you how the same method has helped everyone from Fortune 100 CEOs to PTA presidents. It's helped plumbers sell home restoration systems, lawyers win cases, and oil drillers sell stock, and it's going to help you, too.

MBS323 - Widen the Window with Elizabeth A. Stanley PhD May 12, 2021

Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another.
With training, we can access agency, even in extreme-stress environments. In fact, any maladaptive behavior or response conditioned through stress or trauma can, with intentionality and understanding, be reconditioned and healed. The key is to use strategies that access not just the thinking brain but also the survival brain.

MBS320 - Innovation For The Fatigued With Alf Rehn Apr 21, 2021

How many presentations on innovation have there been recently? Thousands? Millions? We are experiencing 'innovation fatigue': we feel cheated by the endless rounds of consultants who come into our organizations, deliver conceptual models that don't stick with the realities of business, and then leave again. Companies and teams are left feeling more deflated than before, and with not one idea that's impacted the bottom line. Innovation for the Fatigued argues it is worth fighting for the concept and study of innovation in organizations.

Business leaders are always looking over their shoulders for the next Uber moment to overtake them, and they recognize that innovation needs to be a top priority. But how does one innovate?

MBS319 - Unlocking Creativity with Michael A. Roberto Apr 12, 2021

Unlocking Creativity is an exploration of the creative process and how organizations can clear the way for innovation. In many organizations, creative individuals face stubborn resistance to new ideas. Managers and executives oftentimes reject innovation and unconventional approaches due to misplaced allegiance to the status quo. Questioning established practices or challenging prevailing sentiments is frequently met with stiff resistance. In this climate of stifled creativity and inflexible adherence to conventional wisdom, potentially game-changing ideas are dismissed outright. Senior leaders claim to value creativity, yet often lack the knowledge to provide a creative framework.
In this episode, best-selling author and scholar Michael Roberto presents a thorough investigation of organizational obstacles to creative thought.

In this episode, Matt is joined by Herminia Ibarra who is an organizational behavior professor at London Business School. She is also the author of Act Like A Leader, Think Like A Leader.
Ibarra turns the usual “think first and then act” philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.
Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this episode will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It’s time to learn by doing.

MBS297 - How to Eat Your Competitors Lunch with Anthony Iannarino Dec 31, 2020

Like it or not, sales is often a zero-sum game: Your win is someone else's loss. Most salespeople work in mature, overcrowded industries, your offerings perceived (often unfairly) as commodities. Growth requires taking market share from your competitors, while they try to do the same to you. How else can you grow 12 percent a year in an industry that's only growing by 3 percent?It's not easy for any salesperson to execute a competitive displacement--or, in other words, "eat their lunch." You might think this requires a bloodthirsty "whatever it takes" attitude, but that's the opposite of what works. If you act like a Mafia don, you only make yourself difficult to trust and impossible to see as a long-term partner. Join Matt and Anthony for their deep dive on competition, the coming recession, and COVID's impact on businesses.

MBS256 - Dov Girnun, CEO Merchant Capital & Wendy Alberts RASA Jun 14, 2020

In this episode, Matt chats to Dov Girun and Wendy Alberts. As you know, the restaurant industry has been among the worst impacted by the lockdown regulations. With closed doors and almost completely reduced turnover, the sale of takeaways for delivery only, has been merely a drop in the ocean in bringing this sector back to life. Restaurants with no customers, no cash-flow, diminishing reserves and no idea when they can reopen for onsite dining, are folding quietly and quickly. But having sat idle for weeks now, restaurant owners with and without pre-existing delivery capabilities are struggling to afford to buy stock, pay wages, deep clean, or even ramp up marketing to compete in the new ‘dark kitchen’ space, within lockdown regulations. As a responsible credit provider, Merchant Capital, a non-bank lender that works with thousands of South African restaurant owners, has stepped in by offering to provide working capital at regular intervals, based on an assessment of the restaurant’s delivery/take-away revenue growth week by week, an important step in remaining a responsible credit provider. The product, REBOOT, will allow successful applicants to reboot their cash flow and ultimately their restaurants in order to survive the lockdown.We bring you an in depth panel discussion focusing on the restaurant industry, featuring Wendy Alberts the CEO of the Restaurant Association of South Africa (RASA) and Dov Girnun, the CEO of Merchant Capital.

Welcome to part 5 of the women of steel series powered by the Matt Brown Show. In this episode we are going to take a deep dive into what is arguably one of the biggest technology revolutions in the world of business today, and it’s called the Cloud. Now, the term “the Cloud” has been coined for some time now, but if you are not actively playing in the space it is easy to get left behind in recent market developments. So to put the size of the Cloud market in perspective, Microsoft reported earnings for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, which included revenue of $33.7 billion, with $11.4 billion of that being driven from Cloud related sales - that’s $11.4 billion made in 12 weeks and an increase of 19% compared to the previous 12 weeks. But what is driving this growth and why are businesses of all sizes flocking to the Cloud? To get the answer I turned to Natasha Bezuidenhout, the Microsoft Brand Executive at First Distribution, Africa’s leading Cloud distributor. Natasha is one of the leading women in tech in Africa and is at the spearhead of the Cloud revolution currently underway in Africa.

MBS154 - The Dreamers Dojo - Solving Tomorrows Challenges, Today. Mar 21, 2019

Education. The schooling system was built for an age where once you leave school you go and get a job. This was great 50 years ago but today the system is not built for a world that is driven by exponential technologies like AI, blockchain, robotics and quantum computing. For the large majority you are being schooled for irrelevance. Mckinsey Global Institute study found the nearly 1 billion jobs (that’s 1/5th of the worlds workforce) will be taken by robotics process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030. If the youth want to be financially independent, then an entirely different mindset is required, and that entrepreneurship is the best vehicle for making that happen. The only challenge is that entrepreneurship rarely if ever taught at schools. This is why I founded the Dreamers Dojo powered by Digital Kungfu to provide structured learning interventions at schools in South Africa and around the world.

MBS153 - Candice Mama’s Powerful Story of Forgiveness: “Face to Face with My Father’s Killer” Mar 19, 2019

Forgiveness. Nelson Mandela once said “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” Candice Mama talks about the importance of both holistic emotional experience and forgiveness. We must address our hurt and pain - hold ourselves accountable to our emotions before we can seek healing. Forgiveness is not simply acknowledging someone’s apology, it is navigating a labyrinth of honesty, self reflection and acceptance. To free yourself of the chains of resentment you must forget what you cannot forgive and forgive what you cannot forget, this is the path to self healing. Forgiveness does not make you weak, if anything it is an attribute of the strong. Do not forgive because they deserve forgiveness, forgive because you deserve peace. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show, Candice talks about her incredible experience of forgiving Eugene De Kock the former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, who when active under the apartheid government murdered her father and shares insights into the power that comes with forgiveness and how you can use that power to be emotionally whole and true to who you are.

MBS144 - Unlock Your Potential, with Caroline Ravenhall, Human Performance Specialist Feb 05, 2019

Transformation. Real transformation isn’t a future event, it’s a present-day activity. The irony is that most people choose to stay the same and settle for the status quo and don’t challenge themselves to become more than what they currently are. If you don’t make a conscious choice to grow yourself every single day this can have a disastrous impact on your business, because your business can only grow to the extent that you do. Our guest today is Caroline Ravenhall, who spent the best part of a decade working closely with Richard Branson but despite all the trappings of a successful career she found herself on the day of the launch of Virgin Airlines in South Africa, staring down the abyss of total burnout and with Richard Branson about to do one of his dare devil entrances.

MBS142 - Surviving Brain Cancer, with Iron Man Richard Wright Jan 25, 2019

Mind power. The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down. You get two types of entrepreneurs: those who live in cause and those who live in effect. If you are at cause you are largely the victor and in control of your destiny. If you are living in effect, you inevitably wind up being the victim of your circumstances and at the whims of the world around you. Richard Wright is very much a man with a cause, how to survive brand cancer for the third time. When he was told he had only 6 months to live, he had a choice. To let the effect of cancer determine the future of this life or to be at cause and do everything in his power to overcome his illness. Today, Richard is only the 118th human to survive pituitary cancer of the brain in history and has completed an incredible 11 Iron Mans. This is a story of human potential and living proof that the power of the mind truly is one of the greatest gifts you have in your possession.

MBS140 - 'Don't be Evil' with Bronwyn Williams, Chaos Theory Specialist Jan 18, 2019

Ethics. Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do. But the ethics of any company and individual can be tested, especially in the pursuit of profit and when under pressure. Google was famous for including the words ‘don’t be evil’ in their code of conduct, but in April last year they removed it in order to expand in China. Being 'evil' is very tempting. Brands and businesses are constantly tempted to exploit consumer data and values for profit. Take Google; the temptation to sell out their values, in the form of submitting to China’s state censorship to secure a shot at the massive Chinese market, was just too alluring to pass up. Similarly, beauty brands, including fan favourites MAC and Revlon, agreed to animal testing (a practice they reviled in their home markets) to gain entry to lucrative markets (China again) that insist on the practice. As we head into 2019, it’s worth our while to examine the trends that highlight the potential brands have to drive both good and evil in society. To help us do this, I spoke to Bronwyn Williams who specialises in Chaos Theory or the science of predicting the behaviour of “inherently unpredictable” systems. As a trend researcher, writer and keynote speaker, she is in the business of making sense out of chaos and making the unpredictable future understandable and accessible to you and your business

MBS139 - How to Survive Prison, Free Your Mind and Forgive with Rusty Labuschagne Jan 15, 2019

Forgiveness. Nelson Mandela once said: “As I walked out the door towards the gate that would lead to freedom, I knew that if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.” Imagine the scene. You are a successful business man with a 40,000-acre farm, 9 sports cars and multiple successful businesses. Then one day, everything is taken from you. Rusty Labuschagne has been through a trauma few have experienced anywhere in the world. In 2003, the successful Zimbabwean businessman, who ran a safari outfit, flew his own aircraft and had a fishing resort on Lake Kariba, was framed by a poacher, the police and the courts and wrongfully convicted of drowning a poacher. He served 10 years in Zimbabwe’s prisons, including notorious Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison during the Zim dollar crash, with food shortages, no running water and people dying around him daily. On this episode of the Matt Brown Show, Rusty shares his lessons about forgiveness, gratitude and finding true freedom in life.

MBS137 - Marijuana Economics with The Dagga Couple & Paul-Michael Keichel Dec 21, 2018

Weed. In September this year, the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the country’s highest court, on Tuesday morning ruled that the personal use of cannabis is not a criminal offence. In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that the ban on private possession and consumption, and cultivation of the plant for own use is unconstitutional. It found that the country’s cannabis ban infringed on section 14 of the South African constitution which gives all citizens the right to privacy. This has far reaching implications for ordinary citizens and entrepreneurs alike. The decriminalised global weed industry is forecast to run into the billions of dollars, but what are your rights in this space and immediate opportunities for entrepreneurs? To get the answer I reached out Julian Stobbs and Myrtle Clarke AKA the Dagga couple and Paul-Michael Keichel from Schindlers Attorneys. We discuss the 8 year legal battle of Julian and Myrtle with the South African government, their personal case instrumental in the lead up to the landmark ruling by the constitutional court and whose case was spearheaded by Paul-Michael at Schindlers, and we explore the far reaching local and global ramifications for a burgeoning weed industry that is set to take the world by storm.

Blind spots. We all have a blind spot and it’s shaped exactly like us. In Africa, blind spots are everywhere, yet for some reason we do not see what often lies right in front of us. Enter the Kasinomic revolution. The KasiNomic Revolution is a murmur in the streets, a grassroots economic rising which has grown organically despite government and business regulation, and which is the future of African economic activity. It is a giant of an economy that dwarfs that of the formal economy in size, yet for many entrepreneurs who play in the formal economy space, we are not aware that it even exists and even less is known about how to capitalise on it. GG Alcock is an international best-selling author, whose books cast a light on the Kasi sector and its inner workings for the first time.

Blockchain. Blockchain is as significant now as the Internet was 25 years ago. As a technology, the blockchain promises to break old business models and to do that there will always be persuasive reasons not to take the risk. But if you only do what worked in the past, you will one day wake up and find that you’ve been passed by. For entrepreneurs, the blockchain space is arguably the biggest opportunity for business and value creation since the advent of the Internet. While the narrative is dominated with speculation over crypto asset price movements and use cases for utility – blockchain and crypto is certainly not going anywhere. In the studio today, I’m joined by Farzam Ehsani, the founder and CEO of Valr.com a crypto asset trading platform that has recently launched and which is backed by Bittrex one of the largest blockchain trading platforms in the world.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise both in business and in the world in general. But where are exactly when it comes to AI and how beneficial is it really to your business in the long run? Sure, it can take over those time-consuming and mundane tasks that are bogging your employees down, but at what cost? With AI spending expected to reach $46 billion by 2020, according to an IDC report, there’s no sign of the technology slowing down. As the saying goes, take the next 10,000 startups and just add AI. Today I’m joined by my good friend Nick Argyros, the founder of a startup called Got Bot, that uses AI to enable Social Commerce and optimize Customer Experience at scale for clients around the world. Got Bot has been voted as one of the Top 10 startups on the continent by StartUpBootCamp has raised millions in venture capital in less than 18 months. Nick and I explore the world of AI, how corporates are interfacing with startups to help them solve global challenges and what he has learnt in the process of working with the latest AI technology and building Got Bot into a global play.

MBS133 - Social Entrepreneurship with Ezyln Barends, Mmabatho Mokiti and Natassia Katopodis Dec 19, 2018

Influence. You don’t have to be a person of influence to be influential. As entrepreneurs we are very much in the business of influence: influence of customers, our people and ultimately influence over ourselves in the choices we make every day. The nature of influence has changed in recent years, with the birthing of a global movement towards the sustainable enterprise and a growing appetite of corporates and impact investors to work with social entrepreneurs to solve global challenges like education, poverty, hunger, clean water and gender inequality. Today, you can become a billionaire and make a difference at the same time. They are no longer mutually exclusive. On this episode, I chat to three power house women Ezyln Barends, Mmabatho Mokiti and Natasha Katapodis about the world of social entrepreneurship, impact investing and gender inequality and how we as a community of entrepreneurs can do more in the space of social upliftment and economic transformation through our businesses.

MBS132 - Identity Politics with Brent Tollman Dec 18, 2018

Change. The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. If we truly want to change the world, we have to change our thinking. It is said that we should have an open mind when it comes to the subject of change, butt the trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Identity politics has long permeated and influenced our society and culture and it is a very sensitive subject because at its most basic level, identity politics is the tendency for people of a particular race, ethnicity, gender, social background, etc. to form exclusive political and social alliances. So why are we talking about this on the Matt Brown Show? Well, my view is that we need to unite workplaces, not divide them. Company cultures that are deeply united aren’t just better at being productive, they’re better at retaining talent - and, critically, they’re better at mentoring talent. I reached out to my good friend Brent Tollman, probably one of the smartest people I have in my network, to explore how we as entrepreneurs can use identity politics to build better businesses. My hope is that If we can have honest conversations like this - and understand what caused and what drives Identity Politics, we’ll know have the answer to the million-dollar question here: Where do we draw the line - but in a smart and informed way that helps us transform our employees, etc. - and ourselves

MBS131 - Howard Mann (President, Business Brickyard) & Craig Collins (CEO, Cradle Technologies) Dec 14, 2018

Pride. You know no entrepreneur is an island. We all need help on our respective journeys, but all too often pride seemingly gets in the way and we don’t step up to the plate and ask for help when we need it. To help bring the value of what can transpire when we do ask for help, I reached out to Craig Collins, the CEO of Cradle Technologies, a startup who has recently been selected by the Grindstone and Knife Capital Accelerator as one of the top 12 tech startups on the African continent and Howard Mann, the President of Business Brickyard in New York – for context Craig has achieved product market fit for his warehouse management system and is looking to scale his enterprise in the United States. Howard is a player coach who specialises in helping entrepreneurs generate more sales and grow their businesses. You’re about to hear a live three-way coaching session between Howard, Craig and myself designed to help Craig scale his business in the states next year. I’d like to leave you with this. Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

MBS130 - Mike Stopforth, Co-Founder Cerebra Dec 06, 2018

Communication. Since the advent of social media the way that we communicate has fundamentally changed both in society and in the context of business. When Mike Stopforth co-founded Cerebra communications, he challenged what communications could represent for brands across Africa. Over the course of 14 years, Cerebra became an award-winning social media communications agency that were the first to re-imagine what a social enterprise could be. This caught the attention of WPP, one of the world’s largest advertising conglomerates who acquired Cerebra for an untold sum. In this episode, Mike and I explore how social media communications has changed the face of business, how entrepreneurs can scale their businesses through strategic partnerships and what he learnt in the process of selling Cerebra to WPP.

MBS129 - Ian Fuhr, Founder Sorbet Nov 26, 2018

Uncertainty. When it comes to business, there is nothing certain but the uncertain. You see, feeling unsure and lost is a part of starting a business, and it’s virtually impossible to avoid feelings of doubt and fear as an entrepreneur. You see here’s the thing about uncertainty: you will not win the fight againstuncertainty by becoming certain, instead your certainty will come as a result of you embracing your uncertainty. Ian Furh is the living embodiment of this reality. When he opened the first beauty salon, Sorbet, he knew nothing about the beauty industry and after investing 19million into the venture [itstill hadn’t turned a profit]. Fast forward to today, however, and Sorbet employs over 3000 staff, has over 200 stores (which delivers a staggering 350 000 individual beauty treatments a month). The story of Sorbet is one largely about dealing with uncertainty as an entrepreneur; and what can be achieved when you understand that your tolerance for uncertainty is the prerequisite to succeeding.

MBS128 - Brian Altriche, Founder & CEO Rocomamas Nov 12, 2018

Imperfection. One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection doesn’t exist. Ironically though, we live in society where social media platforms like Instagram has created an entire sub culture that is seemingly designed to support the idea of perfection being attainable and even worse valuable. But here’s the thing. There’s no need to be perfect to inspire others. Instead you should inspire people by how you deal with your imperfections. The truth of the matter is that there is a ton of value to be found in imperfection and this has been proven in the birthing of a global QSR brand called Rocomamas right here in SA. Despite all category norms and conventions, Brian Altriche, founded Rocomamas on an imperfect product – a burger patty which is by design imperfect and yet it has found a place in the hearts and minds of consumers all around the world… and in only 5 years. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show, I chat to Brian about his journey building Rocomamas into a QSR brand and franchise that is poised to take on the likes of global incumbents like Burger King and MacDonalds and what we can learn about value creation in the context of a very imperfect world.

MBS127 - Live From New York City with Nathan Stevenson, CEO Forward Lane Nov 05, 2018

New York. New York is always a good idea – especially if you want perspective on your own business. My agency Digital Kungfu, recently landed a client in New York called Forward Lane a heavily funded fintech startup that is making waves in the AI and financial intelligence space here in the states. The great thing about New York is that is puts your own hustle into perspective – you see, you could be forgiven to think that building a business in Africa is completely different to building a business in a developed economy like New York but you’d be wrong. I spent the past week in New York connecting with startups at the Barclays Techstars program and spent time interviewing and connecting with the heads of investment banks, venture capitalists and fintech investors. What was striking was that we all face the same challenges. Growth, scale, funding, product market fit, innovation, customer experiences and disruption are equally important in developed economies like New York as they are in South Africa and anywhere else in the world. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show I chat to my good friend Nathan Stevenson, the CEO of Forward Lane about his journey raising capital in the US and in China and we share insights into the current state of the startup ecosystem here in New York.

MBS126 - Zapiro, Cartoonist & Political Commentator Oct 24, 2018

Cartoonists. They say that cartoonism is simply organized gossip but in South Africa, a simple cartoon represents far more than trivial gossip – for Jonathan Shapiro AKA Zapiro his cartoons have become nationwide talking points for over 25 years. He has been published over 27 times, was the first cartoonist to win a category prize in the CNN African Journalist of the year Awards, has held solo cartoon exhibitions in New York, London and Frankfurt and many in South Africa and through his running commentary on local political developments he became personal friends with Nelson Mandela and archbishop Desmond Tutu. Not surprisingly, his work has ruffled the feathers of certain corrupt politicians in South Africa and on this episode of the Matt Brown Show we explore his very personal account of taking on the political establishment through his work and the sometimes very dire consequences thereof. We also dissect the little know inner workings of his creative process and how he has managed to find the courage to continue to be one of the most honest and courageous voices in journalism and media.

MBS125 - John Nicolakakis, CEO Romans Pizza Oct 23, 2018

Pizza. They say you can’t buy happiness but you can buy pizza and in my world that’s kind of the same thing. When John Nicolakakis took over the reins of Roman’s Pizza from his father, he had only one goal: To create the biggest pizza brand in South Africa. Billions a year in system-wide sales into this journey, and the company’s aggressive expansion plans have never wavered. In fact, if ever there was a poster child for the mantra ‘go big or go home’, Nicolakakis would be it. John came onto the Matt Brown Show to share his story about building Romans Pizza into a network of over 250 stores in three countries and we also has a bit of fun in the studio by throwing him into a blind folded pizza tasting test and he shows us a new way of taking out the trash in the studio with a base ball bat. The Injustice League just doesn’t get old for me.

MBS124 - Chris Jaftha, The Dream Catcher Oct 23, 2018

Dreams. Dreams are not what you see in your sleep, dreams are things which do not let you sleep. But having a dream and then achieving a dream are very different things. They say that every artist needs their own religion because to do anything noteworthy today really does require a massive amount of guts, determination and perseverance. Here’s the thing about dreams. They don’t work unless you do. Chris Jaftha is an actor, TV presenter, dancer, singer and well known voice over artist and someone who has achieved many of his own dreams and the public, the media and major brands have noticed. He has been voted by People Magazine as South Africa’s most eligible bachelor, has been featured in a dozen different TV shows and has recently hosted “the longest date” a new reality show that combines the best of Fear Factor and the Bachelor – I caught up with Chris to find out what he has learnt in the process of becoming one of Africa’s most inspiring young talents in media. And remember, the biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. So, go out there and do it!

MBS123 - Danny K, The South African Prince of Pop Oct 11, 2018

Perseverance. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding on the 20th. But imagine not getting a lucky break day after day for 7 years straight. How would that make you feel? Would you quit, or would you persevere? Many entrepreneurs would and do give up for one simple reason: Rejection sucks. But here’s the thing about rejection: When you are rejected it doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough or worthy enough, it just means that you need to get up and try again. This is the single biggest quality I have noticed in highly successful people I have interviewed on this show. Our guest today is none other than Danny K who is the embodiment of perseverance. He is a four-time South African Music Awards winner, singer song writer, actor and philanthropist. He has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, has been a brand advocate for Nelson Mandela’s foundation and collaborated with some of the world’s most well-known music artists. But despite his celebrity status, his story is in fact also one of many rejections, and an unwavering ability to persevere despite all the odds. There are so many nuggets and pearls of wisdom on this episode of the Matt Brown Show, so without further adeu.

Legacy. As entrepreneurs it’s important to think about your legacy because in reality you are writing your every single day. But for many of us it takes strength, courage and wisdom to build a legacy. You see, your legacy isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life in truth it’s about what you inspire others to do because of what you accomplish. Our guest today is non-other than Maps Maponyane, one of Africa’s most influential young black entrepreneurs. Maps is a multi-talented business brain; movie producer and celebrity and we discuss what he has learnt in the process of building multiple successful businesses which has left a truly inspiring legacy of his own. Surprisingly, Maps won Cosmopolitan Magazine's "Sexiest South African Man" in 2013 but hasn’t won that award ever since. To make up for that, he decided to smash a unicorn with a baseball bat in the studio.

Journalism. Journalism is in fact history on the run and the courage of journalism has to be respected because journalism is the protection between people and any totalitarian rule. The story of South Africa’s possible state capture by Zuma and the Gupta’s is very well known but what you may not know is how one small team of journalists were largely responsible for shining a light on the on happenings inside the presidency, which ultimately lead to the avoidance of state capture. Alec Hogg is one of those journalists. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show, we explore how the world of misinformation, fake news and social media can influence the business community of South Africa and affect the economic fabric of an entire country. As entrepreneurs, it is vital to understand that information and knowledge are two currencies that will never go out of style.

Branding. A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is, but it is what consumers tell each other it is. But to build a brand today is harder than you think. In the face of information overload and a hyper competitive attention economy how do you get to grips with building your brand and reputation as an entrepreneur? To get the answer I reached out to arguably one of the best branding consultants in the world, Andy Rice. Andy himself is a huge personal brand and over the past three decades has consulted to every major brand in Africa, has been a judge at the international Cannes Advertising Awards and has been a radio personality for as long as I can remember.

MBS118 - Robin Wheeler - Author, Death Is The Ultimate Orgasm Sep 21, 2018

Death. This is a subject that is very rarely spoken about yet is more relevant than we think when it comes to entrepreneurship. Allow me to explain. Businesses die around the world every day and for the entrepreneur the fear of losing something they have put their heart and soul into building can be familiar to that of losing a loved one. I can attest to this as over the years, I’ve founded nine businesses and six of those didn’t survive. Uncertainty is just something we have to deal as entrepreneurs, and it is easy to think we fear the unknown, but what we really are afraid of is the known coming to an end and so in life and in business death isn’t cool. But there is so much power in thinking and talking about death and for many reasons, but arguably one of the most important is that it forces you to come to terms with why you are an entrepreneur and what you hope to leave behind as a legacy and in a very authentic way. I reached out to Robin Wheeler, the author of Death is Ultimate Orgasm to discuss the very personal aspects of death and how we as entrepreneurs can shift our thinking about death in business and in life. This is a power episode, so I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

MBS117 - Duncan Irvine, CEO Rapid Blue (Producer, Shark Tank) Aug 30, 2018

Whats up hustlers, so trying to define media is a very difficult thing to do because in todays world media is evolving so quickly. For context, as of April 2018, total worldwide population is 7.6 billion The internet has 4.2 billion users There are 3.03 billion active social media users. That works out at a new social media user every 15 seconds. Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp handle 60 billion messages a day. This is just a quick snap shot of the media driven world we are living in. But as much as the world changes, some things stay the same. Like making sure you, the entrepreneur, have a great story to tell on the plethora of media channels that you have at your disposal. One entrepreneur has seemingly survived all of this change in media and today is responsible for household entertainment shows like Shark Tank, Strictly Come Dancing, Come Dine With Me and many, many others. Duncan Irvine runs the biggest TV production studio in Africa and by all accounts is a living legend in the media space.

MBS115 - Tim Ohlsen, CEO Eldo Energy Aug 24, 2018

Much in the world of entrepreneurship is relative. For example, when you are a startup and a solopreneur you’ll most likely have cashflow problems and you’ll battle to pay yourself a salary. Then you have Robbi Brozen, the founder of Nando’s who had 38 stores across the country and couldn’t pay his staff. It’s all relative. Let’s take Silicon Valley for example, there are so many headlines about startups raising hundreds of millions of dollars from VC’s that it’s easy to think that you’ll raise the same kind of money from VC’s in Africa. But you won’t. The markets are chalk and cheese. But the one thing that isn’t relative is that entrepreneurship is very much about pain and regardless of whether you are a startup, Robbie Brozen, a startup in Silicon Valley or just an ordinary entrepreneur trying to make a living – we all have to push through the challenges that lie before us as we look to achieve personal and business success – whatever success might mean to you it is stories like Tim Ohlsen’s, the CEO of Eldo Energy, that gives us the perspective and inspiration we need to go out there and make it rain.

It is said that to live a creative life we just lose our fear of being wrong. As an entrepreneur it is about knowing where your blind spots are and this is easier said than done. Let’s take creative companies and agencies for example. They are so busy building the brands of other companies they very rarely build their own brand which is one of the greatest paradoxes in the business world today. Yet most creative agencies do not acknowledge this blind spot even exists because as the saying goes, when you are stuck inside the bottle you can’t read the label. So what you need is perspective to break through and that often means working with experts and skill sets you don’t have on the payroll. Lauren Woolf is the CEO of Mrs Woolf, a strategic consultancy that helps creative companies identify their blind spots and helps them to unleash and direct their creativity toward building their own brand. Oh, and pay attention to a new segment on the show called the Justice League where Lauren gets busy with a baseball bat in the studio.

MBS112 - Jeff Large - CEO, Come Alive Creative Aug 17, 2018

So just yesterday I was catching up on the Joe Rogan show and Jo was chatting to Gary V about podcasting. Jo shares my sentiments about podcasting exactly and to quote him exactly he said “Radio is fucked”. Allow me to explain. With podcasting you don’t have to listen to adverts, traffic reports, or miss your favourite shows. A podcast you can be streaming it on your TV, then in your car and then while you run later that day. It’s always on demand and most importantly on your terms. But how big is the podcast market in South Africa and what is the big opportunity for entrepreneurs in this space? Well, towards the end of last year, my team and I undertook the largest independent research initiative into SA podcasting. It was supported by online and mainstream media across the country over a period of six months and resulted in capturing the podcast media consumption data of over 15,000 respondents. Here are some of the headlines and key findings. The addressable market for podcasting is 16 million people, approximately 6 million South African's listen to podcasts on a weekly basis and further 9 million listen to podcasts on a monthly basis. Approximately 80% of South African's listen to the majority of a podcast and perhaps the biggest indicator of growth is that Podcast consumption has grown by 50% in the past 12 months alone. This then represents a massive opportunity for entrepreneurs to go out there and build their personal brands through the medium of podcasting. To find out how to do this I reached out to Jeff Large the CEO of Come Alive Creative to explore what is happening in America in terms of podcasting and what he has learnt producing podcasts his clients. One more thing, if you’d like to get the rest of the data on SA podcasting you can do that by heading over to my blog at mattbrownmedia.com).

Bullying in the workplace is a very real thing but as a community of business people we simply do not talk about this kind of thing enough. You see, bullying or being emotionally abused is very difficult anyone, to deal with. It makes you feel afraid and degraded and often it makes a person feel like they are worthless. Many of us who are bullied even start asking ourselves if we can do anything right and worst of all blame themselves for the situation when we are not at fault.In this episode, I chat to Leah McCrae the MD of The Park House of Events on 7 about her new venture Resonance that is shining a light on the world of bullying in the workplace.And remember, if you are being bullied right now you have to tell someone. You may not want to do this because it means showing that you are vulnerable, that you are letting someone get the better of you. But really, it is very important to tell someone otherwise, it may not stop. So, speak to a friend, a parent, brother or sister, uncle or aunt and most importantly, if it happens in the workplace, speak to HR or a person of accountability.

MBS110 - Kat Woolf, The Property Woolf Aug 08, 2018

So today I want to tee up this episode of the show by talking to you about something called Stopforths Law. Stopforths law is named after Mike Stopforth, the CEO of Cerebra communications. When social media took off around the world Mike put his hand up in South Africa as the countries first social media expert and aggressively grew his personal brand in the social media space. As a result, and even to this day, he is still regarded as one of Africa’s leading social media experts. And this story, lead to the creation of Stopforth’s Law – meaning he who puts his hand up first as the expert in something will automatically be accredited as the expert. My guest today, is none other than Kat Woolf, who off the back of building one of the countries largest commercial property brokerages has just put her hand up as South Africa’s commercial property expert – and through her new show called the Property Woolf, is using the power of podcasting to grow her personal brand and ultimately her own business.

What I’m referring to are legal issues, risks and challenges you’ll encounter as you scale your business.

MBS103 - LIVE SHOW - The Sales & Persuasion Masterclass (Gilan Gork & Mark Keating) Apr 05, 2018

Howzit guys. So, last night we hosted another sold out live show this time in conjunction with two of the most exciting people in business at the moment - Gilan Gork (Expert Mentalist) and Mark Keating (CEO of Sales Guru) where we explored "how to use influence and persuasion to get what you want in business" in front of a live audience of about 150 people at the Mesh Club in Johannesburg. This show is a tad longer than usual and for very good reason. This subject of how to use persuasion and influence to make sales and get what you want in business has never been more important than it is today. You see, sales are the life blood of any business and the ability to make sales and sell your ideas to decision makers is a critical component of a business regardless of its size. One of the biggest ongoing challenges for businesses and entrepreneurs is to find new business and importantly, how to sell their ideas to decision makers. Over the past decade, many marketing options have been promoted as "sales prospecting tools" with very limited results. Huge tip here, nobody cares about you, your company or your products. They only care about if they can be better off on what is important to them through what you offer. Understanding how to influence and ultimately persuade someone to buy from you is the secret to sustainable sales success and business growth.And pay attention to the part of the show where Gilan influences the minds of the entire audience to predict a number… well, it’s just insane what this man can do and it’s about 20 minutes into the show and it perfectly illustrates just how important this subject is to you – yes that’s you listening to this right now. Remember, this event was streamed live around the world on my YouTube channel so if you’d like to get the visuals for some of the frameworks that were shared by Mark and Gilan please check out the video – simply search “Matt Brown Show” to pick it up. One more thing, at the end of the episode Gilan, Mark and the Mesh Club all give offers that I highly recommend you act on quickly.

MBS101 - Michael Jordaan, Venture Capitalist (Montegray Capital) Mar 18, 2018

Michael Jordaan was the CEO to one of South Africa’s largest banks FNB with a customer base of nine million. With more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector and nearly a decade at the helm of the Bank, Michael oversaw the move away from traditional banking, and led FNB to be named the “World’s Most Innovative Bank” in the 2012 Global Banking Innovation Awards, held in Washington DC.

Today he is the founder and CEO of Montegray Capital – a private venture capital arm that invests in businesses with high growth potential. I sat down with Michael to discuss everything from entrepreneurship, startups, the blockchain and its impact on the global financial systems and we even explore how to overcome fear when it comes to making big decisions in business. It’s not every day that you get to sit down with one of the most prominent personalities in South African business so I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

Howzit guys, so as the saying goes there is no business-like show business. Last night at #CryptoKungfu we put on a show which was broadcast around the world and which featured three of the world’s most influential people in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Tone Vays from the US, Adam Meister also from the US and representing Africa we had Lorien Gamaroff. We explored and debated the merits of bitcoin versus bitcoin cash and when I say it was a debate it really was a heated debate with Tone and Lorien having numerous shall we say differences of opinion about which coins are the ones to invest in and why. We also had a very active YouTube chat room so don’t forget you can catch the full video stream in HD on my channel. Simply search for “matt Brown Show” to grab the video and the chat room feed.

MBS097 - Joey Evans, From Paraplegic To Dakar [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Feb 19, 2018

As entrepreneurs, we are typically working towards something – a vision of some kind – in most cases it is about obtaining more freedom, more status, more success; whatever success looks like to you. And as we pursue success, life has a habit of gifting us experiences and situations that we cannot control. Sometimes these situations are overwhelmingly positive but sometimes they challenge us to become more than what we are as businesses but most importantly, they force us to grow as people. When Joey Evans was told, he would never walk again, the vision and success he had been working towards was seemingly taken away from him in an instant. You know, when your dreams have cost you so much, dreaming a new dream takes great courage. But that’s exactly what he did, and it culminated in Joey completing the Dakar rally, a grueling 8,782 kms or 5,462 miles – a feat that only a handful of South African’s have achieved ever. There are so many powerful lessons here for entrepreneurs, and that is why I am thrilled to share with you this incredible story of one man who pursued his dreams, despite what life threw at him and a journey that would ultimately test the absolute limits of physical endurance and emotional fortitude.

MBS096 - Bob Skinstad - Partner, Knife Capital [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Feb 07, 2018

Howzit guys, so as entrepreneurs and business leaders, being able to unlock growth is a key focus in what we do. Yet, many of us are seemingly stuck in the trenches every day taking grenades, and we don’t get the time or space to work on our businesses so that we can identify the things that truly can 10x our value in the marketplace. For me principles are a great place to start, and one of the principles is the 8020 principle. Now, the 8020 principle is one of the most powerful success secrets in the world — but provided you implement it. Most people have heard of it, few put it into action. So, I reached out to Bob Skinstad in London – Bob is re-energising an age- old principle by sharing a collection of real-life examples from highly successful people of 8020 in action. In this episode, we unpack the meat and the potatoes of how to implement high growth initiatives like the 8020 principle and explore powerful concepts like marginal gains used by the Sky cycling team.

MBS094 - Pepe Marais & Gareth Leck, Joe Public [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Jan 09, 2018

There is an old saying that nothing worth having comes easy and the story of Gareth Leck and Pepe Marais is no different. The idea was to take big agency thinking to the man in the street under a concept called “take away advertising” and a mission to disrupt the advertising space. Today the company Joe Public is South Africa’s largest independent agency with a turnover of R700 million and gross profits in excess of R200 million. But getting to where they are today was no easy feat and it involved an exit to a multinational corporate, the re-purchase of the company, bankruptcy and the rebuilding of the company from the ground up on more than one occasion. This is a classic story of the hardship and realities of entrepreneurship and running a business.

MBS093 - LIVE SHOW 0 #CryptoJHB, Blockchain/Bitcoin & Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's) Dec 21, 2017

So, turns out #CryptoJHB was a yet another sold out live show – and I’d like to just say thank you to everyone who has supported my crypto focused events, without your support these events wouldn’t be possible. Twitter was going crazy again on the night – in fact, #CryptoJHB was the #1 trending hashtag on Twitter in South African on the night, this is another first for Matt Brown Media and the first podcast to trend in the #1 position in the history of South African media. I’ve also received a ton of feedback from attendees throw these events more frequently and to go deeper into subjects like Cryptocurrency Trading, Alt Coins & ICO’s, Blockchain/Bitcoin for beginners and mining for bitcoin. Unfortunately, we’ve run out of runway for the 2017 but I’m already underway with the planning for three more events in Cape Town, Johannesburg and for the first time a crypto focused event in Durban. Now, the best way to get notified of new events it to follow me on Twitter using the handle #mattbrownza or to subscribe to the Digital Kungfu newsletter at digitalkungfu.co.za. So, finally, a quick thank you our sponsors the Park House of events, Fractal Solutions and the Blockchain Academy. So, without further adeu let’s get on with the show!

MBS092 - Mark Keating, CEO SALESGURU Dec 07, 2017

We all know that sales is the life blood of any business but the ability to make sales doesn’t come naturally to many of us. It’s arguably why many of us hate cold calling so much because when we were young we were told “not to talk to strangers”. The ability to make sales is further impacted when the economy sucks and the market is just not spending money the way it would in a bullish market, so if this is the case, how do you become a rockstar at sales and make a killing even in a flat market? To get the answer I reached out to Mark Keating, he is the CEO of SALESGURU, Africa’s leading sales training company and without question one of the experts on how to make sales. To give you an idea of what Mark can do, when he launched the SALESGURU magazine he had R2 million rand in the bank from magazine subscription sales before they had even printed a single copy of the magazine. How about them apples?

The event was sponsored by Bitcoin events, Blockchain Academy, Luno and PwC came to the table and on the night my Twitter feed was going crazy – you can checkout the hashtag #cryptocpt to catch what was being discussed on the night – there was one picture which was retweeted so many times I think it may have been the most retweeted picture of a blockchain panel ever. Your panelists for the event were Sonya Kuhnel, founder of the Blockchain Academy, Simon Dingle, CEO Phantom Design, Werner van Rooyen from Luno, SA’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Paul Mitchell, PwC Fintech and Blockchain Lead and Samer Saab, Head of Product Development for Get Wala.

MBS090 - The Pivotal Group [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Dec 01, 2017

When Paul Hutton, Joel Stransky and Bruce Arnold launched Pivotal Group in 2012, they did so with a wealth of experience and business relationships on their side. But it was still a start-up. They worked from home and then the SLOW Lounge, and they raised some angel funding, accessed personal capital, significantly reduced monthly income and took out personal loans to make it work. They had a vision, and they were determined to be disruptors. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show, we share the story of how they’ve built what they believe to be the foundations of a successful group of businesses and in only five years. But perhaps most importantly, we unpack the realities of being a team of founders that have to overcome significant challenges unique to Africa and what they have learnt as a management team and about themselves in the process of building Pivotal group to where it is today

MBS089 - Michael Van Straaten, CEO Verimark Nov 26, 2017

Hey guys, so today I want to talk to you about Toys R Us. In 2012, they were a $12 billion company with a massive retail network of 1600 stores. In September 2017 – that’s just last month – they went bankrupt. In fact, Toys R Us is just 1 of over 300 retail brands have filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the past 9 months alone. So, how does a $12 billion a year company go bankrupt in just 5 years? Well, there are several factors in play ranging from crippling debt, a consumer which is moving to the online shopping space and perhaps most obvious is a distinct lack of innovation – apart from a fulfillment partnership with Amazon they almost ignored the Internet completely. As the world continues to evolve on a seemingly cyclical basis, stories like this are becoming ever more common place and in my view, it is becoming increasingly harder to find stories of companies that have truly stood the test of time. But one of those companies isn’t a global story – it is in fact a local story – that almost all of us would have heard about at some point or another over the past 40 years or so. It is the story of Verimark – a direct marketing and direct response TV play. Verimark was founded in 1977 with a capital base of R5,000, a staff of 2 people and a dream. Fast forward to today however, and it is a R500 million a year company which employs over a thousand staff. In short, it is a brand and business that has truly stood the test of time. I reached out to the CEO Michael Van Straaten, to find out what he has learnt in the process of building Verimark into a household brand, a global leader in home shopping network innovations and most importantly, how we as entrepreneurs can with stand the pressures of an ever changing business environment.

MBS088 - Robin Olivier, CEO Digicape [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Oct 25, 2017

We’ve seemingly heard it all before – you know, that classic rags to riches story of an entrepreneur who despite all the odds has built a business that has stood the test of time. Well, here’s the thing. For me, these stories are becoming rarer to get ahold of. It is becoming harder to build big businesses from scratch – especially for aspiring entrepreneurs who haven’t acquired what seasoned entrepreneurs often refer to the MBE or Masters in Business Experience. It’s for this reason that when stories of entrepreneurs who have succeeded are shared with other entrepreneurs – lessons and insights are invariably and ultimately, this can make the difference in your business succeeding or failing. One of these stories is the one of Robin Olivier who launched his first business with two partners and just R5 000 between them and a dream – fast forward to today, and Digicapeis a R240-million business with highly engaged and empowered employees, and the goal is to hit R400 million by 2020. This is the story of how Robin and his partners have built an entirely self- funded business that’s heading for the half a billion mark.

MBS087 - Clive Butkow, Venture Capitilist & CEO Kalon Venture Partners Oct 20, 2017

So, yesterday I was giving a talk to a group of entrepreneurs from the entrepreneur’s organization. I was talking about the worlds Unicorn club – essentially a term used for a billion-dollar valued company. I was asked by one the delegates, why South Africa has not produced a Unicorn of its own yet when more Unicorns have been produced in the last 2 years than at any given point in our history. There is no short answer to this – but what is generally pointed to is the fact that South Africa’s startup ecosystem is not where it should be - despite us having the 5th largest private equity market in the world. But after consulting to numerous startups in South Africa the current status-quo is that the venture capital market in South Africa is also not where it should be – one startup founder even told me that the irony with South African VC’s is that they don’t really venture. But in my view, there is no hard and fast rule with this stuff – if you are a startup and you have some traction it is very worthwhile exploring the local VC market because there are some very experienced players who are looking to put their funds behind your business. One of the players is Kalon Venture Partners based in Johannesburg who has made investments into startups both locally and abroad. I reached out to Clive Butkow the CEO of Kalon to get his views on the VC market in South Africa and abroad. Clive also shares some little known insights and lessons into alternative funding vehicles like initial coin offerings (ICO’s).

MBS086 - Jen Su - Pop Star, Master Networker & Socialite Oct 13, 2017

Hey guys so today I want to talk to you about the power of having a personal brand. You know, when I started this podcast it was called the Digital Kungfu show but as you now know it’s called the Matt Brown Show. Since I rebranded the show it has literally 10x’d the listenership but more importantly, I now enjoy multiple income streams from the reputation equity my podcast has created for me. For example, I regularly speak at conferences and companies around the country telling my story and the Matt Brown Show has led to the formation of Matt Brown Media – where we help business create their own podcasts or shows and I attribute a lot of my deal flow to the personal brand behind the company. And this has all happened since I decided to stick my actual name into the name of my show. So, you can trust me when I say that the power of a personal brand should not be underestimated in business. So, to help you understand how to build a personal brand of your own, I reached out to Jen Su, the TV & Radio Presenter who shares her tips with me on personal branding for entrepreneurs and shares her personal challenges and experiences building her own massive personal brand, and more specifically, the way entrepreneurs can better handle difficult interviews, social media challenges and crises, and how to approach media training and PR, to better focus your personal brand. Jen has worn many professional hats, from financial news anchor on Business Day TV and Sky News "The African Business News" as well as a former pop star with five albums released in Asia. She is also a master networker and socialite, having graced celebrity red carpets from the Cannes Film Festival to New York Fashion Week to the MTV EMAs -- and interviewed diverse international personalities such as Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Tiger Woods, and Bill Clinton.

MBS085 - Ran Neu-Ner, Co-CEO The Creative Counsel & Host of Crypto Trader (CNBC Africa) Oct 02, 2017

The ability to re-invent one’s self is arguably one of the most important qualities that anyone can have. With the world changing as quickly as it is these days you essentially you need more than IQ and EQ to be successful – you now need something called AQ or what the Singularity University calls the Adaptability Quotient i.e. how quickly can you adapt to a changing world and to either solve a problem or fill a gap.In this episode, I chat to Ran Neu-Ner who is most known for the sale of this agency to the Publicis Group for north of a billion rand (for my US listeners that is just shy of $100 million). After the exit, Ran spent some time studying at the Singularity University and at Harvard in the states and it was this experience that lead to him founding a new passion for cryptocurrencies and the blockchain.Today Ran is the host of Crypto Trader on CNBC Africa – and it represents the first show of its kind in the world which is making big waves in the #cryptocurrency community.I chat to Ran about his journey with the show and how he approached reinventing himself to fill a gap in the global cryptocurrency trading markethttp://www.digitalkungfu.co.za/ran-neu-ner-co-ceo-creative-counsel/

MBS084 - LIVE SHOW - PwC - People, Robots and The Future of Intelligent Automation Sep 28, 2017

So, I have a question for you. Have you heard of disruptive technologies like robotics, artificial intelligence and 3D printing before?” Now, I imagine that you would have heard of these terms before. But what if I asked you this: “What workforce will need to employ in the future because of these technologies?” You probably haven’t given that much thought but the truth of the matter is that you are not alone.Since the industrial revolution, we have attempted to automate our businesses as much as we can to drive operational efficiencies –think about the robots that assemble todays cars on the world’s largest production lines, where there used to be thousands of men literally assembling cars piece by piece, today you have a small army of highly efficient intelligent machines doing the job instead.But the advent of computing heralded a new age for automation, as companies today can automate and outsource not only physically demanding tasks but also those traditionally requiring human cognitive abilities. You see, robots and artificial intelligence are combining to create the next evolutionary step in driving efficiencies across a wider variety of tasks, processes, job functions, business areas, and industry sectors. It is called “Intelligent Automation” and it combines new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to enable businesses to automate all kinds of processes across geographical borders for the very first time. So, to what extent will robots rule the workforce of the future? How much is science fiction and how much is based in reality? And most importantly, how do you prepare yourself for a future when thanks to exponential technology, there can be any number of possible futures? In this live podcast with PwC South Africa, we explore the world of intelligent automation and its implications for the modern-day business world. Your panelists include Brandon Stafford, the intelligent automation lead for PwC Australia, Alistair Hofert, the intelligent automation lead for South Africa, Barry Vorster the People & Organisation Partner for PwC South Africa and Costa Natasas, the Banking and Capital Markets Lead for PwC South Africa – and of course myself.

MBS083 - Adi Zuk & Emma Du Preez, The Rapid Insights Team Sep 22, 2017

Research. This is arguably one of the most undervalued initiatives that any business can take but interestingly, it seems that research as a strategic capability is to this day not used by many entrepreneurs and business owners and even worse ignored entirely. The other day I was interviewing Anish Shivdasani, the founder and CEO of Giraffe who happened to win the global Seedstars program and we were talking about “market liquidity” – which refers to the extent to which your market buys your businesses products and or services. Now all the worlds leading companies are involved in some form of research driven market liquidity initiative and so if you are not doing independent research into your market then you really are missing an opportunity to position you and your business as a thought leader in the space. Take my company Matt Brown Media for example, we have our own market liquidity initiative by undertaking the largest ever independent research project into the South African podcasting industry – and this is where our story begins. I reached out to Adi Zuk and Emma Du Preez from an innovative new research play called Rapid Insights to help my media company with its own research and working with them really allowed me to scale my research initiative quickly and cost effectively. In this episode, we explore why you research matters, what the benefits are when it comes to research and how you can work with data in your own business. www.rapidinsights.co.za

It’s taken me a year or so to track all them down but finally I managed to get my last Shark onto the show. Her name is Dawn Nathan-Jones. Now many of you would have seen or heard of the brand Europcar, well Dawn was at the helm of Europcar as its Chief Executive Officer for some 14 years and today she sits on several company boards as an advisor and of course as you know is investing into exciting startups within the South African ecosystem. Interestingly, we recorded this interview inside Workshop 17 in the V&A waterfront in Cape Town which is a thriving technology hub in the heart of the mother city and which in my view was the perfect location to explore Dawn’s journey in business and unpack what she has learnt in the process of becoming one of South Africa’s leading women in business.

The path of an entrepreneur can be pretty lonely at times and it's often difficult for people to understand exactly what you are going through. Earlier this year, I founded my own mastermind group with 5 other entrepreneurs where we discuss our personal challenges and business problems. The group also helps us achieve goals through peer group accountability. It really has been such a valuable experience, that Nick Argyos and Ciaran McKivergan thought it would be a great idea to run a "mini-mastermind" session on the Matt Brown Show to bring the experience of being in a mastermind group to life for my listeners.

MBS075 - LIVE SHOW - Cryptocurrencies, The Blockchain/Bitcoin & The Future of Money [Joburg] Aug 01, 2017

Cryptocurrencies, The Blockchain/Bitcoin & The Future of Money. This subject is arguably one of the hottest subjects in the media right now and for good reason. It promises so much – the least of which is the decentralization of the monetary system and the potential financial inclusion of the poor.This event is the first live podcast driven media event of its kind and after I released the tickets it sold out the first-time in less than 12 hours. Then after releasing the next batch of tickets it sold in less than 4 hours and when I released the final set of tickets it sold out without me telling anyone – they demand for answers from the south African public was simply insatiable. So, you are about to hear what went down at my first “live” podcast event when I interviewed South Africa’s experts (if there is such a thing) on the current developments within the cryptocurrency and blockchain space.

MBS075 - LIVE SHOW - Cryptocurrencies, The Blockchain/Bitcoin & The Future of Money [Joburg] Aug 01, 2017

This subject is arguably one of the hottest subjects in the media right now and for good reason. It promises so much – the least of which is the decentralization of the monetary system and the potential financial inclusion of the poor.The Back StoryThis event is the first live podcast driven media event of its kind and after I released the tickets it sold out the first-time in less than 12 hours. Then after releasing the next batch of tickets it sold in less than 4 hours and when I released the final set of tickets it sold out without me telling anyone – they demand for answers from the south African public was simply insatiable. So, you are about to hear what went down at my first “live” podcast event when I interviewed South Africa’s experts (if there is such a thing) on the current developments within the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. Your "Expert" PanelYour guests are Simon Dingle from Phantom Design, a genius in his own right but also very outspoken and hilariously funny in the process of doing so. Farzam Ehsani, the blockchain lead for Rand Merchant Bank – one of South Africa’s largest banks and who wrote the definitive white paper on the impact of the blockchain and cryptocurrency on the worlds financial system and Lorien Gamaroff, the CEO of Bankymoon – who has been invited around the world to speak on digital currencies and distributed ledgers and their benefits for emerging economies.

MBS074 - Anish Shivdasani, Founder & CEO Giraffe Jul 30, 2017

Mindsets. An entrepreneur’s mindset – essentially a set of working assumptions about your intelligence, talent or abilities is critically important to understand when it comes to decision making in business. You could call it decision making theory – or the reasoning behind doing something in your business or not. Often there is far more success to be found when you do decide to do something as opposed to deciding not to do something. So, let me give you some context. In this episode, I chat Anish Shivasani the founder and CEO of Giraffe about their journey disrupting the recruitment industry. Now many of you will know that they won the global Seedstars program – not just south Africa which eventually lead them to finding investment with the US based investment fund Omidyar – which was formed by the entrepreneur Pierre Omidyar, who founded the eBay auction site which is today worth an estimated US$9 billion. But here’s the funny thing. They almost didn’t enter the Seedstars completion at all – but their mindset of believing that they could win it made all the difference. In this episode, we also cover the mindset of international vc’s vs south African vc’s, when to quit or persevere as an entrepreneur and much more.

One of the great mysteries of entrepreneurship is why businesses fail.
