TAILGATING WITH GENIUSES

This is a bonus episode for Dismantled Life for the Dismantled World Series.  It's a close look at how we're all alike in our differences, how we all love our families, and share a common thread as Americans no matter where we come from in the World.

Dismantled World is aimed at opening up a little corner of the world we may not know much about, and uncover how we all love our families, work hard to put food on the table, and all start from the same starting line as Americans.

Helping firms like Coca-Cola, Nestle and 50 other firms set up their venture funds, Mark Kaiser is the go to guy in the corporate world for getting it right from the get go. Mark has been a CEO at a publicly traded firm where he bought over 30 companies and now sits as an External Advisor to Bain & Company.

No one knows both sides of a deal like Mark and fewer still are as funny, candid and willing to talk about how it all works. He even discusses the red flags that show up as the game gets played. 

Mark shares what's really going on with all that money businesses have and talks about where he sees serious change happening. (Oh...and he wants to know why we aren't spending more time on the Pringles redesign. Damn he's good.)

Short excerpts about scaling, learning that what got you where you are won't get always get you where you (and your company) need to be, failing and how great brands think their ways to better success.

This week we discuss Leadership with Commander Kirk Lippold, USN (Ret.).
We discuss what good leadership is, why it's imperative, the consequences of not having it and why he believes leaders must do better to uphold this critical skill.

Commander Kirk Lippold was the Commanding Officer of the USS Cole when it came under a suicide terrorist attack by al Qaeda in the port of Aden, Yemen. During his command, he and his crew distinguished themselves by saving the American war ship from sinking. This event is widely recognized as one of the most brazen acts of terrorism by al Qaeda prior to September 11, 2001.
