Talks with Jamie

I spoke with Warren Handley about his new business venture, the product development life cycle, and how you learn more when there's skin in the game as an entrepreneur.

I spoke with Dylan Bosman about a few of his favourite quotes. You can see the quotes below. Listen to the podcast to hear us talk about what they mean to us.

"Happiness is cultivating your garden." Voltaire, a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher.

"The meaning of life... sometimes, I think of a phrase I heard as a boy, a friend who said: life is like carrying a message from the child you were to the old man you will be. You have to make sure that this message is not lost along the way." From Human, a documentary from 2015.

"The way Elon talks about it is that you always need to start off with the first principles of a problem. What are the physics of it? How much time will it take? There's this level of engineering and physics that you need to make judgements about what's possible and interesting. Elon is unusual in that he knows that, and he also knows business and organization and leadership and governmental issues." Larry Page, co-founder of Google.

I spoke with Greg Bakker about the changing of world values as we experience an extreme version of what life would be like with everything being online.

I spoke with Ryan Von Ess about the maturity you gain from pursuing further studies, the human side of digital communication, and how to develop your ideas briefly in isolation but mostly in collaboration.

I spoke with Philipp Schmid about his journey to move to South Africa from Germany, using events as an effective brand-building tool, and tips for working remotely.

I spoke with Keagan Carlin about her women’s lifestyle and jewellery online store, budgeting and finances in relationships, and effective communication with your different customers.

I spoke with Cameron Coutts about the reference points you can use to track progress in your life, how to listen without judgement by paying uncritical attention, and how the success of your self-improvement initiatives could be based solely on the increase in your self-awareness.
