Quote

"There are several things that you need to do to scale your company. First of all, you need to have the appropriate funding. The next step is to hire the right people. You need to hire a marketing team, a VP of marketing, then you need to hire a sales team and customer support team and then you need to invest in articulating the value proposition and establishing a sales motion where you perfect the messaging and the process by which you attract customers. Give them options to try out the product and ultimately sell them. This process is called the sales motion and you need to perfect that sales motion so that we can just simply eventually pull money into that and drive revenues and sales for your company."

"Having a coach means you schedule thinking time. Thinking is pretty much what you are paid to do but it generally seems to be the one thing nobody ever has time for. Coaching simply brings a discipline to your thinking that I think is really important. It's very difficult to think alone and most people can't do it for more than a few minutes. Therefore, thinking with a coach helps solve some challenges and provides prompts which creates a deeper, richer experience which most people can't create in isolation".

Joining me today is Mithu Storoni a physician, a researcher, and the author of Stress Proof: The Scientific Solution to Protect Your Brain and Body—and Be More Resilient Every Day. The book is full of practical evidence-based steps for protecting yourself against stress and its effects. Mithu spent years combing through over 1,000 research papers and clinical studies before condensing her findings into a manual which then became her book 'Stress Proof'. Some of its contents are surprising for example smelling the scent of a lemon can help you relax.

Mithu received her medical degree from the University of Cambridge, is certified in ophthalmology, and holds a PhD in neuro-ophthalmology. In today's conversation we will explore how to mitigate stress and overcome fear as you progress your scaling ambition.

In today's conversation we will explore:

• The 7 pathways to stress proving an exploration of the unknown universe in our brains
• How controlling inflammation can aid better health
• How to develop a sense of self efficacy, agency, and confidence to support your scaling ambition
• The benefits of cold therapy
• How having a sense of purpose can support you eating well and living longer
• The counterintuitive recommendation for dealing with a highly stressful event
• The adaptation gap and the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable

Quote

"You develop emotional reactivity so your rational way of thinking about the world is momentarily suppressed, and you become very emotionally responsive, and this has an advantage or had an advantage because this allowed us to predict danger before it happens by emotional instinct. Navigating a room full of people or a company full of employees, you cannot predict what another human being is saying or doing, and you also cannot predict other people's behaviour and control it. So, this now serves us in a poor way. In a state of acute stress people make high risk decisions. Decision making is skewed because the perception of reality is skewed. The negativity bias that happens during acute stress can sway your business decisions so always avoiding any kind of important decisions while you're acutely stressed is very important for this reason."

Jamil is also a world recognised speaker on all aspects of the psychology of performance, psychology of leadership, leadership attitudes, improving people, cultural change techniques, and team performance.

Today we discuss:

• The importance of purpose and vision when scaling a business
• The importance of self-belief
• Why we need to be more curious
• What ambitious leaders should do to question the belief system
• The importance of gamification
• Why a lack of ambition from leaders is a mindset

Quote

"The reason why most people are limited in their ability to expand, progress and become more ambitious is their Belief System, it's what they believe to be true. The Belief System is probably the greatest inhibitor of human performance and holds us back more than anything else. Whatever we believe in regard to our stakeholders, our customers, our pricing points, our competition, globalisation, legislation, compliance, governance, all the things that affect business inside and out and whatever we believe holds us in place. For us to create bigger and better outcomes, we need to challenge our perspectives."

Aidan McCullen is the host and founder of the Innovation Show, broadcast globally and on Ireland's national broadcaster, RTE. It's also the only English-speaking show on Finland's Business FM! It boasts such guests as Seth Godin, Rita McGrath and Charles Handy, and boasts Visa founder, Dee Hock, and Bill Gates amongst its listeners. Aidan is the author of the recently published book "Undisruptable: A Mindset of Permanent Reinvention for Individuals, Organisations and Life" with Wiley.

Aidan's work as a change consultant, speaker, facilitator, and workshop leader is based on his direct experience of reinvention in his own life and career. During his time as a professional rugby player, he won over 100 caps playing for Leinster, Toulouse and London Irish, as well as becoming a full Ireland Rugby International.

In his business life he developed the digital eco-system for Communicorp Radio Group, served as Head of Innovation for RTE (Ireland's National broadcaster), worked as an innovation consultant for Global company Katawave, and sits on the board of National Broadband Ireland.

He has also created and delivers a module on Emerging Technology Trends in Dublin's Trinity College Business School, which is ranked 1st in Ireland and in the top 100 globally.

Aidan's mastery of transformation in his own career from professional athlete to becoming one of Ireland's most recognized innovators in digital media has led to him being recognised as a thought leader in business transformation. Aidan believes that you cannot change business models until you change mental models. You cannot change what people do until you change how people think.

Today we discuss:

• The wonderful Japanese Art of Kintsugi and how it can be applied to our thinking
• The importance of developing a psyche for scaling and knowing thyself
• How to exploit assets from the ashes
• Lessons in innovation from Amazon
• A word of caution for leaders to avoid the coconut trap as they scale

Quote

"Mistakes as the source of learning as long as they're not repeat mistakes are absolutely essential because when it comes to invention and innovation mistakes are symbiotic with those processes of invention and innovation. You have to make mistakes when you're trying something new. Celebrate them and if you can, I encourage you to create a Kintsugi Wall which is a wall which highlights the things you have tried and didn't work. It might have been timing, you might have been too early to the marketplace, you may have articulated it in the wrong way but if you harness and keep that idea, someone may come along and say, "Do you remember that idea…What if?' And that's Kintsugi thinking."
