Business as Unusual

Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic.

This episode explores the negativity surrounding capitalism and why we need a better definition to suit our lives today.  Capitalism has been traditionally defined as physical productivity. We want outputs from businesses, organisations and institutions. Our financial system works on placing bets on these outputs.  And now the system is broken.  The new model for capitalism needs to shift from physical productivity to encompass psychological productivity.  In other words, we need more innovative thinking in businesses, organisations, institutions and governments.  Using my formula for Innovation we have two elements to play with:  Creativity (Ideas) + Entrepreneurship (Outcomes)  I hope it inspires you to really challenge yourself and your teams to explore what’s possible in this new era of business 🙏🍀

Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic.

Who is going to survive the “New Normal” - The companies with Balance Sheets & Brains! Let me explain...  I started “Business as Unusual” to provide some level of comfort to the people in my circles who had shared with me terrible stories of how covid-19 had impacted their businesses and their lives.  Now as economies around the world restart, a new challenge has emerged - how do we transition into the “new normal”. While I’m not a huge fan of the phrase, it’s a good place to start.  Tonight’s episode features a cameo from one of the world’s greatest reality tv show stars 😏 and covers:  

🔥How the corona virus impacted the economy and who is going to survive  

🔥How to reframe the negativity over the next few months about collapsing businesses and economic recession  

🔥What Business and Organisation Leaders need to focus on moving forward to give themselves the best possible chance of success.  

I hope it inspires new thinking 🙏🍀

Myth busting, crazy accents and a solid example of Grade A Stupidity - all in the name of driving a very important point - we need to elevate our thinking during this crisis.  Never before, I would imagine in most of our lives, have we had such an incredible opportunity to improve the world we live in.  My work is about inspiring people to think like Entrepreneurs because they have the true power to create positive change in the world.  As Buckminster Fuller says “You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”  Giddyup Entrepreneurs! 🙏🍀

Throughout this crisis people kept telling me that I had an alternative perspective to all the doom and gloom out there - so this episode covers the Entrepreneurial Principle that helped me develop that perspective.  I also cover how things will turn out here in Australia - purely my perspective and that of my employer 😜    As restrictions are relaxed around the globe PLEASE take extra care - as much as it pains me to say it - this is far from being over and the second wave is going to be much worse than the first - well here in Australia anyway. We’ll get through it but there will be casualties. Again do your own research instead of following the status quo blindly.  Stay safe. Stay inspired. 🙏🍀

It always annoyed me when people came up after I finished speaking and offered their “feedback” - when I hadn’t asked for it. Until I learned how to deal with it.  In this episode I share one of the most powerful speaking lessons I learned from the legendary Allan Parker, OAM. I hope the lesson within the episode makes it a little easier to navigate some of the negativity you may encounter in your journey.  🙏🍀

There are heaps of resources to help people give better feedback but not so much around how to receive it. This episode shares two key elements to help you receive feedback - for when you ask for it. When you don’t ask for it... that’s another episode 😏  Also inside is a story about one of my crazy adventures in business where receiving brutal feedback destroyed me mentally for two weeks.  I hope these tips help you venture out beyond your comfort zone by giving you a way to navigate the negativity you might encounter along the way. 🙏🍀

How do we combat the vast amounts of mediocre thinking in the world? One way is to take a closer look at the language used to express thought.  In this episode of Business as Unusual I bust another “crisis quote” being spread by people with big microphones and small minds.  I hope it elevates your thinking to new levels and we can start to combat mediocrity with intelligent thought 🙏🍀

After every presentation I sit down and ask myself three questions: 1. What went well? 2. What needs to be worked on? 3. What are my action items?  During that process today I uncovered something I need to work on.  I usually practice my presentations pretty thoroughly and thought I covered everything in rehearsal but I forgot one thing - because I don’t normally do it. Luckily no one noticed 😬  Today’s episode shares the story of my mistake and I hope it inspires you to make the most of this covidness downtime 🙏🍀

Preparing my new keynote “A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste” and I discovered something interesting.  The quote is often attributed to Winston Churchill but in reality he didn’t say it. Instead it came from Niccolo Machiavelli... which puts an entirely different spin on it doesn’t it 😏  In this episode I explore the quote further and share how you can make the most out of a crisis by doing something really simple.  I hope it inspires you to reimagine the way business could be done.  Giddyup Entrepreneurs! 🙏🍀
