Ep. 847: Laura Huang Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

My guest today is Laura Huang, a preeminent Harvard Business School professor, shows that success is about gaining an edge: that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it. Now, Huang teaches the rest of us how to create our own from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and turning them to work in our favor.

The topic is her book Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Huang draws from her award-winning research on entrepreneurial intuition, persuasion, and implicit decision-making, to impart her profound findings and share stories of previously-overlooked Olympians, assistants-turned-executives, and flailing companies that made momentous turnarounds. Through her deeply-researched framework, Huang shows how we can turn weaknesses into strengths and create an edge in any situation. She explains how an entrepreneur scored a massive investment despite initially being disparaged for his foreign accent, and how a first-time political candidate overcame voters' doubts about his physical disabilities.

Ep. 845: Michael Malone Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

My guest today is Michael Shawn Malone, an American author, columnist, editor, investor, businessman, television producer, and has been the host of several shows on PBS. Currently (2009), Malone is a columnist for ABC News, an op-ed contributor for The Wall Street Journal, a contributing editor to Wired, and the editor-in-chief of Edgelings.com, a website focused on business and technology news in Silicon Valley. He graduated from Santa Clara University in 1975, and received his MBA from SCU in 1977.

The topic is his book The Autonomous Revolution: Reclaiming the Future We've Sold to Machines.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

William H. Davidow and Michael S. Malone go deeply into the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Many of the book's recommendations–such as using taxes to control irresponsible internet behavior and enabling people to put their data into what are essentially virtual personal information "safety deposit boxes"–are bold and visionary, but we must figure out how we will deal with these emerging challenges now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.

Ep. 843: Rob Markey Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

My guest today is Rob Markey, a partner and director at Bain & Company and the founder of the firm's Global Customer Strategy and Marketing practice. He is a coauthor of The Ultimate Question 2.0 and is the host of the Net Promoter System podcast.

The topic is his writing Are You Undervaluing Your Customers?

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Bain & Company partner Rob Markey argues most companies are too focused on earnings at the expense of customers. Instead they should measure and report "customer value" to investors, like Costco, Amex and Humana do, with consistent metrics that allow investors and other stakeholders to judge a company's true value compared to competitors.
