Marc introduces the entrepreneurial mindset to the conversation

A conversation with Ira Wolfe

PART 1

Ira mentioned his TED Talk – you can find it here.

Ira discussed the latest Generation – Alpha. In my typical searching, I found this great article in The Atlantic about Generation Alpha and the general issue of generational delineations.

We had a lengthy conversation about Generation X, so back to googling and I found many interesting articles about that generation including this one.

Ira mentioned his podcast, Geeks Geezers and Googlization.

Ira taught me an acronym, DAO – Decentralized Autonomous Organization.

We discussed the future of the workforce and how so much of it will be done remotely and how the workforce is being transformed and is evolving quickly.

I mentioned Yuval Noah Harari and his predictions for the future of medicine.

PART 2

Ira and I discussed the size of the population and the ever growing job market but why many people don’t want certain jobs any longer. We went on to discuss Grit which reminded me of the great book by Angela Duckworth of the same word.

Conversation 71: My Communications with Sam George

Sam talked about working with both John Sperling and George Soros.  I knew of Soros but did not know much about Sperling.

Sam told the story of the changing of the term “Climate Change” from “Global Warming” and credited Republican strategist Frank Luntz with the change in term.  I went hunting and found this interesting piece.

Sam provides a very detailed means of crafting emails that will demand a response especially by a unique subject line, use of the person’s name liberally throughout the email (at least three times – beginning, middle and in the call to action…which is the most important point – a call to action.

Sam’s book is I’ll Get Back to You.  You can find out more about him at dyscommunication.com

Conversation 69: Raising capital with Rob Bolandian

Failures are acceptable!

I went far afield on the question of NDAs. That of course got me looking and I found this good breakdown about non disclosure agreements.

Conversation 68: A conversation about leadership and change with Coach Diana Cutaia.

I couldn’t help but talk to Diana about Food Trucks. We also discussed the Living Room Theater, Powell’s Books and Voodoo Donuts.

I enjoyed Diana’s take on The Great Resignationor as she sees it more The Great Reset a rethinking of what is important to people. This of course led me down a black hole of websites and articles…but check this one out.

I mentioned the book, The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday

Diana told us about the name of her business Coaching Peace and how it is a very different way to view competition.
