SPOS #589 - The Truth About Innovation With Stephen Shapiro Oct 22, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #589 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #589 - Host: Mitch Joel. Here's another individual that I have known for many years and - for some silly reason - has never been on this show. When I think about innovation and how to drive change for brands, I think about the work that Stephen Shapiro is doing. Stephen has spent decades showing business leaders and their teams how to approach, tackle and solve their business challenges. His core focus has always been showing brands opportunities to improve innovation models and the cultures that support them. The first innovation opportunity Stephen spotted was the opportunity to innovate within his own life. Halfway through his 15 year tenure at Accenture, while leading the company's business process reengineering practice, he realized he no longer wanted to be responsible for people losing their jobs. So he did exactly the opposite by building Accenture's thriving 20,000-person process and innovation practice, focused on growth and job creation. He then decided to become a noted bestselling author, thinker and consultant. He has published many great books including, 24/7 Innovation, Goal-Free Living, The Little Book of Big Innovation Ideas, Personality Poker and Best Practices Are Stupid. If that were not enough, He is also actively involved with Girl Starter. He is a judge and mentor on the television show (TLC), with the goal of encouraging and enabling your women to launch their own businesses. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #588 - Entrepreneurial You With Dorie Clark Oct 15, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #588 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #588 - Host: Mitch Joel. If you don't think business and opportunity has changed much since technology and connectivity mind-melded, you have not been paying attention. Being "in business" does not mean what it used to mean. Individuals (people like you and I) can (and are) building multiple streams of income doing the work that matters to them on their own time. The results - for many - have been staggering. No one knows this better than Dorie Clark, and this is the area of focus for her latest book, Entrepreneurial You - Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams And Thrive. Dorie Clark is an adjunct professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and also the author of Reinventing You and Stand Out. A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, the New York Times described her as an "expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives." A frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, she consults and speaks for clients including Google, Microsoft, and the World Bank. She has been a dear friend for several years, and she's even won multiple Grammy awards (not a typo). Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #587 - Scott Galloway Rants On The Digital Age Oct 08, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #587 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #587 - Host: Mitch Joel. He's one of the most respected thinkers in digital media. It's mostly due to his YouTube rants... and he pulls no punches. It takes many people aback, because Scott Galloway is not your typical YouTuber. Scott is a Clinical Professor at the NYU Stern School of Business where he teaches brand strategy and digital marketing. In 2012, Professor Galloway was named "One of the World's 50 Best Business School Professors" by Poets & Quants. He is also the founder of Red Envelope and Prophet Brand Strategy. Scott was elected to the World Economic Forum's Global Leaders of Tomorrow and has served on the boards of directors of Urban Outfitters, Eddie Bauer, The New York Times Company, and UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. I first discovered Scott's work as the Founder of L2 research (now owned by Gartner) and his incredible keynote presentations on state of the digital economy called, Winners And Losers In The Digital Age. Most recently, Scott published his first business book, The Four - The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, and it's an incredible read. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #585 - Killing Marketing With Robert Rose Sep 24, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #585 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #585 - Host: Mitch Joel. This conversation should have happened years ago. When I think about content marketing, I think about Robert Rose (and his co-author/business in crime buddy, Joe Pullizi, of course). To state what Robert Rose does is simple: he helps marketers become stellar storytellers. But that's really not even the half of it. For more than 25 years, Robert has been at the forefront of marketing and content marketing. He is currently the Chief Strategy Officer for The Content Advisory, the education and consulting group for The Content Marketing Institute, and is deeply involved in Content Marketing World. Robert also co-hosts the amazing podcast, PNR's This Old Marketing, with Joe. He is also an investor and advisor to startups like Akoonu, DivvyHQ and Tint. Most recently, he published his third book, Killing Marketing, with co-author Joe Pulizzi. His two other books were Experiences - The Seventh Era of Marketing and Managing Content Marketing. So, is it time to kill marketing? You be the judge. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #582 - Commanding Excellence With Gary Morton Sep 03, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #582 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #582 - Host: Mitch Joel. He has accomplished what many thought was impossible. Gary Morton was part of the only US Army unit ever to win every simulated battle at the grueling National Training Center, and a company that grew its earnings by 20% every year and every quarter of every year for 28 years. It is an incredible leadership, team building and business story that was waiting to be told. Gary Morton graduated from West Point with honors and had a five-year career as a tank officer, the highlight of which was being part of an extraordinary unit that achieved unprecedented results at the US Army's grueling National Training Center -- the only unit to ever win every simulated battle it fought. Gary completed a master's degree, also with honors, from the University of Southern California, and transitioned out of the Army to medical-device manufacturer Stryker, where he held positions of increasing responsibility in project management, engineering, R&D, operations, and leadership, including twelve years as vice president and general manager of the EMS equipment business. EMS was an innovative juggernaut that he cofounded, and that grew to become the global leader in patient-handling equipment for the ambulance market. Gary is now retired from Stryker and recently published his first book, Commanding Excellence - Inspiring Purpose, Passion, and Ingenuity through Leadership that Matters. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #581 - Claim Your Onlyness With Nilofer Merchant Aug 27, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #581 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #581 - Host: Mitch Joel. For over 25 years, Nilofer Merchant has been known as the "Jane Bond of Innovation." I met her over a decade ago (thanks for the intro, Tara Hunt), while attending my first TED conference. She was not only a great guide and connector, but has become a dear friend over the years. She has been on this show in the past to talk up her two previous business books (both bestsellers) The New How and 11 Rules For Creating Value In The #SocialEra. Since then, she has become a widely regarded TED speaker (her 2013 TED Talk, Got A Meeting? Take A Walk, is in the top 10 percent of TED's most viewed talks). It doesn't stop there. Nilofer is ranked by Thinkers50 as one of the world's leading thinkers. She has personally launched more than one hundred products, netting $18 billion in sales and has worked for companies ranging from Apple to Autodesk, while advising many others. With all of that, I would say that her just-published book, The Power of Onlyness - Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the World, is what everyone should (and will) be paying attention to. Your ideas can make a dent in the world. You stand in a very unique spot/space in our world. Only you. Take a listen to understand why. Enjoy the conversation...
