The Dov Barron Show

As leaders, much of what we do depends entirely on the quality of our decisions.

However, as stress kicks in and our brain gets washed with a tsunami of cortisol, those none reactive decisions become more and more challenging to make. But what if there was a simple and powerful strategy that could show you that the thing you might see as impossible is, unless...

Imagine if there was simply an app on your device that could eliminate the overwhelming stress and allow you to tap into the greatest decision-makers in your industry? Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters? What if there was a way to tap into the exact constraints to get you to crystal clarity?

Could an app help us make faster decisions when it really matters?

Well, that's where we're going. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Alan Barnard. Alan is considered one of the world's leading Decision Scientists and Theory of Constraints expert. His research focuses on understanding why good people make and often repeat bad decisions. Based on this research, he has developed a range of award-winning decision support apps. Vanilla Ice featured him as one of his "Ice Advisors" on Season 7 of his award-winning Reality TV show on the DIY Channel.

Dr. Alan Barnard's clients include Microsoft, Cargill, Tata Steel, Nike, Cisco, Intel, Penguin Random House, BC Rail, Premier Foods, Habitat for Humanity, Utah Governor's Office of Management and Budget, and that's just a few. Alan is also the Chairman of Odyssey Institute and frequently serves as field supervisor of Ph.D. students and guest lecturer at the DaVinci Institute and Duke University. He is also the author of, It's Impossible… Unless?

Most of us in leadership roles have all come to our positions through some form of specialization. However, almost every innovation and advancement in science, leadership, or anything else has been through the convergence of multiple areas of expertise. Most often, that comes about by building exceptional teams. However, sometimes it comes from individuals who are polymaths; These are people who study different areas and find ways to bridge their knowledge into genuine innovation. One of the areas where this is becoming evident is in the medical sciences. 

Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Jonathan Sackier. Jonathan is an experienced executive leader, physician, entrepreneur, and inventor. He trained in Britain as both a pilot and surgeon. He helped pioneer the laparoscopic surgery revolution. Jonathan has been a founding partner of several successful start-ups in the medical technology industry, recognized as an industry leader in bringing innovative products from bench to bedside, such as AESOP, and a valued member of the team that developed the world's first operating room robot with Computer Motion. With his team of experts, Jonathan patented non-invasive technology to heal brain trauma, and advancements in stem cell technology to improve quality of life. 
 
Jonathan has earned two Honorary Professorships from Oxford University and the National Hepatobiliary and Enteric Surgery Research Center in the Peoples Republic of China Global Business Relations. He has launched and facilitated business growth in the GCC, Australasia, India, Russia, and Europe. He's also an esteemed member of the Global Chief Medical & Health Officer Network. 

Jonathan has a reputation for leading with the voice of the patient. He serves as Medical Counsel to the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA). On top of that, he speaks internationally. Jonathan is the host of the EMJ-Health podcast.

What's driving your pursuit of success? As we have spoken about many times on this podcast, success without a commitment to adding significant value to others is unlikely to bring any lasting fulfillment. So, what does it take to go from success to significance and on to fulfillment? Can being massively driven allow you to do it alone, or does it take a community? If it does take teaming up with others, how would you know who to team up with? How can we embark on a journey from Success to Significance?

We've all met people, sometimes in the mirror, who treat it like a defining destination despite knowing it's a journey. They somehow believe they will be different when they get "there." Then, to their great disappointment, they discover that they have worked their butts off, and as a result, they have all the shiny things on the outside but are often empty on the inside.

Our guest for the next two episodes knows all about that. Aaron Walker is a veteran entrepreneur. Aaron is a man with a multi-layered story of success without significance. His journey towards forgiveness, fellowship, community, and service came through a path of Anger and Hate. Aaron has been to the edge of a personal hell and made it back to guide others toward something far more meaningful.

He's had 14 businesses and has retired thrice, the first time at 27 years old. However, something life-altering happened when he was 40 that would take him down a very dark path to the bottom where he had to do massive self-inquiry to come back and share his View From The Top.

Part 1) From Young Success, To a Dark Night of The Soul

Why "Chick Fil A" are Talent Rich Even in The Great Resignation
Integrity Why it's Not Just a Word, It's Bold Action
When They Trust You With $150K
Becoming a Pawn Star at 18
Loan or Lifestyle Creating Priorities to Live By
When Life Changes in a Single Second
5 Years Uncovering the Dark Night of The Soul
Why Isolation is The Enemy

Whether it's Downs Syndrome, the Autistic, or the homeless individuals of our society, it's easy to see these challenges as other people's problems. However, the fact is, we all live in a connected society. All of these things and more are no more than a few degrees of separation from us all. But what can we do?

The last time a global survey was attempted – by the United Nations in 2005 – an estimated 100 million people were homeless worldwide. Homelessness is at an epidemic level. As many as 1.6 billion people lacked adequate housing (Habitat, 2015). If you are not in the situation of being homeless or even close to it, it can seem like an unsolvable problem that has very little to do with those of us who are business leaders. But is it?

Our guest for the next two episodes is Jeff Rotmeyer. Jeff is originally from my adopted hometown of Vancouver, Canada. That being said, we don't know each other from Vancouver. Jeff has spent his last 16 years in Hong Kong, where he founded two different charities on the same day. H is the Founder and CEO of ImpactHK, a charity transforming the lives of those experiencing homelessness in Hong Kong. ImpactHK started with just a few individuals aiming to show kindness to those in need and has now grown into a humanitarian movement involving over ten thousand volunteers that have helped over 400 individuals to get off the streets.

Jeff is also the Founder and CEO of Love 21 Foundation, a charity supporting the Down Syndrome and autistic community with sports and nutrition programs. Love 21 supports over 260 families with a holistic program that strives to give the neuro-diverse community the best opportunity to reach their full potential.

"Those Who Control Meaning for The Tribe, Also Control The Movement of That Tribe"

The Metaverse coming to everything near you...now!

What if AI and VR are not only better but preferred?

Self-driving cars are already here, and it won't be long before fully autonomous vehicles take over all driving jobs. Taxi, Uber, and Truck drivers will soon be a thing of the past. Perhaps you might be thinking that your job is safe. But is it? Some professions might seem untouchable, but what if that's not true? For instance, what if AI and VR doctors are not only better but preferred?

.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtual reality/the Metaverse is no longer the stuff of science fiction; they are already part of your life even if you don't recognize them. When you open your phone with face ID, that's AI. Valuable tools like Siri and Alexa are AI. Smart thermostats, Fridges, and lights are all uses of AI.

.

But there's another level of depth known as the Metaverse. In the Metaverse, using VR, you and I can experience something "artificial" with all of our senses, as if it were a genuine real-world experience. But how does this impact leadership?

.

Our guest is Dr. Skip Rizzo for the next two episodes. Dr. Rizzo is an internationally recognized thought leader in his field and was hailed by Polygon as one of the top 25 greatest innovators in virtual reality. Dr. Rizzo is a clinical psychologist and Director of Medical Virtual Reality at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. He is also a Research Professor with the USC Dept. of Psychiatry and at the USC Davis School of Gerontology.

.

The volume and innovation of his work have also earned him many awards. His commitment is to revolutionize healthcare with the development of innovative VR products that have a positive impact on the field. Over the last 25 years, Skip has conducted research for designing, developing, and evaluating Virtual Reality systems. This work has focused on PTSD, TBI, Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and other clinical conditions.

.

The common thread driving his work with digital technologies involves studying how interactive and immersive Virtual Reality simulations can be usefully applied to address human healthcare—taking us beyond what is possible with traditional 20th Century tools and methods.

Dr. Skip Rizzo has been given the moniker of "The Godfather of Virtual Reality".

What is true resilience?

Imagine being stripped away from your birth family due to the circumstances of war? Imagine being shipped off to a country with a completely different language and having to live with strangers. Okay, that's tough enough. Now imagine entering into what at the time is a fledgling industry that wants nothing to do with you because it's a men's club and you are a woman. As if all that's not enough, let’s now imagine taking all that on the chin, and you go on to become a Technology Icon who started a software business employing only women in the 1960s.

Stay tuned because, over the next two episodes, we sit down with a technology Icon and a true champion of women in technology and leadership since the 1960s, Dame Stephanie Shirley.

In 1962 Dame Stephanie founded an all-woman software company that pioneered remote working and redefined the expectations and opportunities for working women at that time. Her company, Freelance Programmers, grew to 8,500 employees, was ultimately valued at almost $3 billion, and made 70 of her staff into millionaires.

Since 'retiring,' her focus has been on philanthropy, especially on autism and IT. Over the last 30 years, Dame Stephanie has given away almost $100 million to good causes, primarily in the fields of autism and IT.

Dame Shirley received her BSc in 1956 and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1980 Birthday Honours[15] for services to industry; Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to information technology.;[16] and Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to the IT industry and philanthropy.[17]

The CH refers to her Companion of Honour – only 65 people in the world have one

Dame Stephanie is a workplace revolutionary, and successful IT entrepreneur turned ardent venture philanthropist. She is the first person to drop off the Time's Rich List, having given away too much of her money, an achievement which gives her great pleasure!
