Welcome back to Future Squared for a special mid-week double trouble episode, as I bring you not one, but two guests.   Joe Fier is a creative who came to the table with a video editing turned outsourcing business. He’s damn good at creating custom marketing roadmaps to skyrocket client sales results. Matt Wolfe is a systems and tech optimization guy who is a fanatic about content repurposing strategies.

Ajit came from humble beginnings. Born to a middle-income family in Jaipur, India, he grew up in an extended family of 23 other people under one roof. Space and money were scarce, and so as a little boy, he dreamt of abundance. He made a decision to plant himself where he could grow. From starting as a trainee in a non-profit, he has held various roles including as CEO of Mindvalley, Co-founder of Mindvalley Teach, Co-founder of Global Grit Institute and Co-founder of EPIC Businesses.

What is happiness? It's not just a dopaminergic hit. It's about something much deeper than that, that too many of us never truly reflect on.  Show Notes: Basecamp.com (project and team communications software) Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780 Twitter: @jasonfried Medium: @jasonfried Jason’s TED Talk:  https://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work?language=en Why We Sleep book: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144316  --- Employee to Entrepreneur podcast on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast  Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0   Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud  Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski  Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski   Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz   Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com   Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski   NEW Fac

Jason Fried thinks deeply about collaboration, productivity and the nature of work. He's the co-founder of project management platform Basecamp. Founded in 1999, Basecamp has been recognised by Forbes as one of America’s best small businesses. His 2010 TED talk on ‘Why Work Doesn’t Happen At Work’ has been viewed over 5 million times. He’s also the co-author of Rework, which is about new ways to conceptualize working and creating, as well as the brand new ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work’, in which he rejects the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. The Economist called the book funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year. As somebody who shares many of Jason’s philosophies on work, I really enjoyed this conversation. Organisations are projected to invest US$2T into digital transformation by 2022 to make them more efficient, but they could reap what I would argue a

Almost every successful person I speak to says that focus is one of the key ingredients to their success, not only the entrepreneurial domain but almost any domain you could care to mention. As Warren Buffett put it, "the difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything." And I agree, wholeheartedly. However this doesn't mean you can't excel at more than one thing.  --- Employee to Entrepreneur podcast on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast  Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski  Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski  Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz  Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski  NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/

Long time listeners of the show will know that I have a book coming out called Employee to Entrepreneur: How to Earn Your Freedom and Do Work That Matters. The book is scheduled to hit bookstores globally on January 9 through Wiley. Former Future Squared guest and New York Times best-selling author, Adam Grant, says of the book: "If you’ve thought about making the leap to become an entrepreneur, this is a manual for making it happen.” I’ve just launched a new podcast called Employee to Entrepreneur. The podcast will unpack stories from the book as well as key lessons learned during my transition to what has now been seven years in entrepreneurship after almost a decade in the corporate world. You can find it wherever you listen to your podcasts or just visit bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast - I’ll include that link in the show notes of this episode. If you’re a listener of Future Squared, check out Employee to Entrepreneur, and if you like what you hear, please subscribe to the show and maybe, leave a rev

Mick Wall is an author, journalist, film, television and radio writer-producer, who’s worked inside the music industry for over 35 years. He is widely considered to be to music journalism what Keith Richards is to guitar. Since cutting his teeth for rock magazine Sounds in 1976, Wall went on to work for the likes of Kerrang!, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Mojo and Classic Rock magazine. He has also hosted various TV and radio programmes and co-produced several TV documentaries for the BBC, including When Albums Rules The World. Mostly, though, Wall is now best-known as a biographer and author. He has published numerous bestsellers which draw from his time on the road with bands such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and many more. His latest book is a fully revised edition of When Giants Walked the Earth: 50 years of Led Zeppelin, released to mark the 50th anniversary of the formation of Led Zeppelin — and the 10th anniversary of this their most widely ac

I just had the honour of interviewing the one and only Mick Wall, who is to music journalism what Keith Richards is to guitar. He has worked with everyone from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to Guns n Roses and Bon Jovi. During our conversation, I enquired about his own success as well as the success of the bands that he covered. What drove them to greatness? What drove Black Sabbath’s guitar player, Tony Iommi, to create his own fingertips after slicing them off under a sheet metal press in a factory in the early 70s? What drove Def Leppard drummer, Rick Allen, to learn to play the drums all over again - with his feet, after losing an arm in a car accident? Where does Wall, today 60, still derive the energy and enthusiasm to keep going after four decades in the business? --- Listen on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski  Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski

When evaluating someone's idea, it's always tempting and easy to point out the myriad reasons why it won't work, instead of to add value and encourage. It's how we're wired. But humanity depends on our encouraging wild ideas, not shooting them down. Otherwise, we'd still be in the stone age.  --- Listen on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Also available on: Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski  Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski  Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz  Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski  Terminator clips sourced from www.terminatorfiles.com and remain the intellectual property of Tristar Pictures.

Moresh Kokane is the founder of real estate crowdfunding company Estate Baron and co-founder of next-generation distributed share registry, Konkrete. This conversation is very much a tale of two halves. The first 50 minutes we explore the mindset of the entrepreneur, what it takes to succeed and various schools of philosophy that can help someone not only become a better entrepreneur or business leader, but a better person. We explore the book that changed Moresh’s life, Atlas Shrugged, as well as its philosophy of objectivism. I challenge Moresh on whether or not people are really in control of their choices and we dive into why a healthy relationship with adversity is one of the key determinants behind anybody’s success. The next 30 minutes we explore blockchain, the decentralisation of money and Moresh’s startup Konkrete, which - full disclosure - Collective Campus is a JV investor in, but what we explore is an innovative, fully compliant fundraising method that Konkrete is leveraging and something that bl

This week’s inspiration comes from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ 2018 shareholder letter. The annual letter, which Bezos has published every year since 1997, is widely considered a must-read by business professionals for its rich detail around the Amazon CEO's management principle and long-term thinking. In the letter, Bezos stressed the importance of having high standards in running a business.  --- Listen on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0  Also available on: Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski  Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz  Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski  Terminator clips sourced from www.terminatorfiles.com and remain the intellectual property of Tristar Pictures.

Humans beings are an interesting bunch. What we yearn for one day, we take for granted the next. Over the past one hundred years, we’ve learned to take electricity, running water, healthcare and the fact that we have an abundance of food that comes from all corners of the globe for granted. We have a tendency to normalise any positive experience after repeat exposure to it, eventually nullifying it. We find ourselves bored with what once filled us with joy and seek out longer, more intense experiences, forever ‘chasing the dragon’ and that high of the first time. In this post, I explore how we can deliver memorable experiences, as a leader, an entrepreneur and as a lover. --- Listen on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski  Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz  Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium
