Today we’re talking with Yam Regev, the founder of Zest.is, a content distillery focused on providing actionable content to its users. Yam shares how combining a human touch with automation became essential to Zest’s rapid growth.
Zest has gone from 0 to almost 18,000 weekly active users in just a year, and a lot of that growth is thanks to the fact that Yam personally responded to every single content submission when Zest first started.
That human touch created a powerful WOW moment for Zest’s users, which created a positive feedback cycle that brought them back over and over.
So listen to how Yam was able to achieve this super-human feat by being smart about when to automate & when to be human, and how his commitment to the unscalable led to Zest’s success.
(And make sure to tune in next week, where Louis and I are going share what the next phase of this show is going to look like.)

In today’s episode, we talk to Focusmate founder Taylor Jacobson about human-to-human accountability and how it can help us beat procrastination and achieve our professional and personal goals.
If you’ve ever sat down to work on a task and then suddenly minutes—our hours—have passed without you accomplishing much, you’re not alone. Taylor experienced that situation enough times to know something had to change: so he created Focusmate, an app that pairs people with an accountability partner for live, virtual co-working sessions.
Focusmate’s vision is to improve the way millions of people work by helping them keep on task and get their jobs done. As you’ll hear in this episode, I tried it myself, and I can personally vouch for it!
In addition to hearing the story of how the app came about, we cover powerful ideas such as:

Today we’re talking with Erica Peterson, the founder of Moms Can: Code.
When she became pregnant during her studies at West Virginia University, Erica was told that this ‘life choice’ did not fit with her career progression as a graduate student.
Instead of accepting that pregnancy and parenthood can hold someone back from professional achievement, Erica eventually created Moms Can: Code, a global community of moms who are learning to code and a training program to teach moms to code both online and in their local communities.
This is an important conversation about the role of women and parents in the (tech) workplace, and one that shows why it shouldn’t be a black or white decision between choosing to work or being there for your family. Enjoy!

Today we’re speaking with George Mumford, the mindfulness coach to some of the world’s top performing athletes.
Over his 20+ year career, George has helped teams such as the LA Lakers, The Chicago Bulls, and the New York Knicks reach new levels of focus, flow and presence.
Both Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant directly credit George with helping them level up their game, and Phil Jackson, the coach of the Laker’s and Bull’s during their winning streaks, calls George his secret weapon that allowed him to win 8 NBA championships.
So why are we featuring him on this podcast?
Because the state of presence and flow that he helps athletes, Olympians, and global executives to achieve is a state that allows us all to focus our full potential to the moment at hand, free of the stress of what’s coming and free of the baggage of what may or may not have just happened.
In other words, a state that enables you to reach your peak creativity, inspiration, motivation, and drive.

Today you’ll be hearing from Alice Karolina Smith, the founder of TheEthicalMove.org.
Alice shares a very unique story of how she went from dropping out of design school in Switzerland to being exposed to massive levels of income inequality in Bolivia – and how that led her to create an organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of consumerism.
It’s a story of how she reached a breaking point with traditional marketing methods that lead us to compromise our integrity, honesty, and transparency for a sale, and instead decided to focus her energy on encouraging companies to work towards serving the world around us.
In other words, to help companies succeed by putting people first.

Today we’re talking with André Morys, the CEO and founder of konversionsKRAFT, one of Europe’s most successful (and award-winning) Conversion Rate Optimization agencies.
André is a great embodiment of what a people-first leader looks like, not only when it comes to his clients but also his team.
As we’ll hear from André, putting his team first has led to greater productivity, better customer service, and more revenue in the long run.
And he really walks the talk. In fact, in this conversation, André shares with us about the time he fired his single biggest client that was bringing in over €750,000 a year because they were becoming too much of a headache for his on his team.
And it paid off. Not only did they make that money back, André’s team ended up surpassing their revenue expectations for that year and continued to do so.
We also get practical and talk about how he merges big data with personal, qualitative insights to deliver results for his clients.
So get ready for a great episode on the importance of focusing on employee happiness and the impact it can have.
