Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future In this 'tableturner' episode of Future Squared, your host gets interviewed himself by Logan Merrick, co-founder of Buzinga App Development. This episode originally appeared on Invisage, Buzinga’s podcast. You might remember Logan from episode #85 of Future Squared where we talked all manner of things from app development to 14 day silent meditation retreats! When it came time to turn the tables and appear on Logan’s podcast, we talked everything corporate innovation and intrepreneurship and it turned out to be one helluva chat. I just had to bring this chat to you, the listeners of Future Squared, and the guys from Buzinga were gracious enough to let me double down on this episode. Topics discussed: - The biggest misconception about enterprise innovation - Are millennials inherently better innovators? We discuss the ideal mix of generations in your team. - The 3 highest impact actions you can take today to

Before I get into today’s fast fix I’d like to remind you that Future Squared has been nominated for the very first Australian Podcasting Awards people’s choice award, so instead of asking you to like us on iTunes, all I ask, as we endeavour to bring you another 100 episodes this year, is for 1 minute of your time to head on over to bit.ly/futuresquared and like this show - that’s all you have to do. Getting this type of recognition will go a long way to supporting this show and provide us with the energy and momentum we need to continue bringing you amazing guests, week in, week out.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy ***Achievement unlocked*** Episode #100 is here and what a super special episode it is! A couple of weeks ago on an episode of Fast Fix Friday called Why I Do What I do, I spoke of a touching email I had received from Alex Henderson, one of the alums of Lemonade Stand, a 2 day kids entrepreneurship program that we run to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. The budding young startup founder wrote to let me in on how the program had opened his eyes to the possibilities and inspired him to start a business and that he had gone one step further and already just launched. As it is now the school holiday season here in Melbourne, Australia, I couldn’t help but reach out and invite Alex to appear on Future Squared to not only inspire other parents and their kids, but basically anybody out there who has made excuses in business and in life - age, lack of money and resources, no experience, no networks - these all come with

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy The silly season is now in full swing, many of us will make bold promises to ourselves in the form of new year's resolutions. Almost a third of these resolutions would have become unstuck in the first two weeks of 2017, according to research carried out by StatisticBrain. In this episode, I talk about blockers and enablers. Whatever your resolution, make sure you address these first if you want to make it to the end of 2017 amongst the 8% of people who achieved and kept their resolutions. Want to let me know what your resolutions are?

Looks like I got you! Nobody was going to open a boring old 'our year in review' episode, but James Brown, Bobby Byrd and a cheeky play on words and BAM! So as the title suggests it's been a huge year for the team here at Collective Campus. We didn't realise just how big this year has been and how much we've achieved until we sat down and reflected on it. We hope you find some time to do the same. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised! I've summarised some of our highlights for 2016 which could definitely not have been possible without all of you, so from all of us here at Collective Campus and Future Squared, we'd just like to say THANK YOU.

We explored many topics including the moral dilemma around self driving cars, legislation and infrastructure supporting the proliferation of self driving cars and my favourite question and the title of this episode, who pays when a self driving car kills?

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future In this episode of Fast Fix Friday I talk all about the power of 10X vision. Most of us chug along trying to grow revenues, our businesses, our personal brands incrementally and sustainably over time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach., I myself am a big believer in persistence trumping talent 8 days a week, and aesop’s fable, ‘the tortoise and the hare’ favours the slowly but surely approach over the quick off the mark risk laden approach. But if you’re looking to create dramatic impact, thinking and acting incrementally might not be enough. Rather than looking for 10% growth next year, perhaps you can ask yourself how you plan on growing by 10x, that’s 1000%, next year. Or as Peter Thiel of Paypal and Palantir fame says, how can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months? This simple question prompts us ask questions of ourselves and our businesses that we normally wouldn’t ask. I asked myself this

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future We recently hosted a small party with some of our friends here at Collective Campus in Melbourne and after about 4 glasses of Gray Goose I couldn’t help but do the rounds and ask people in attendance, most of whom are either building startups, are working with emerging tech or are navigating the tangled web of corporate innovation, what kinds of technologies get them most excited about 2017. This came about 4 or so glasses of Gray Gose into the evening so I slur my words or sound a little too excited, you’ll just have to forgive me.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future Listeners of this show will know that one of the projects we spend some time on is Lemonade Stand, a children’s entrepreneurship program we’ve run across Australia and more recently in Singapore, designed to inspire kids with the entrpereneurial mindset in order to help them become more adaptable in a time where more than half of today’s jobs are set to be replaced in the next 10 to 15 years and today’s kids face iincreasingly uncertain futures. Just this week one of our 11 year old alums sent me an email and I just had to share it because it demonstrates what kids are capable of when we give them a bit of direction and a whole lot of inspiration. With barriers to entry for ANYONE wanting to start a business being as low as they are today, this email proves that no matter who you are, how old you are, what your personal circumstances, the only thing that stands between you and your dreams is attitude.

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/future I recently returned from a business meets leisure trip to Singapore and Vietnam where I had the opportunity to learn a little more about the latter's history, in particular that pertaining to the Vietnam War, a war that the under-resourced North Vietnamese won against the might of the Americans and its Allies. Large organisations with the vast resources and figurative firepower at their disposal shouldn’t underestimate is what an environment of scarce resources, paired with an incredibly strong mindset can do. In this episode, I discuss the ingenuity of the North Vietnamese and the number one characteristic that separates successful entrepreneurs and innovators from the pack.
