The Innovation Show

We are joined by relationship therapist and author of The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography Wendy Maltz.

The 14th-century Sufi poet, Hafiz wrote:

"Learn to recognize the counterfeit coins

that may buy you just a moment of pleasure,

but then drag you for days

like a broken man

behind a farting camel."

Pornography is not only an individual problem, it's a social and cultural problem.

It is impacting many relationships, individuals and in the dawn of virtual reality pornography and easy access, it is conditioning our future generations, how they think and how they interact in society and in interpersonal relationships.

How, you may wonder, can something that isn't a drug, isn't an extramarital affair, isn't actually sex with someone else, cause such devastating problems as divorce, getting fired, and not being able to get sexually aroused by a real live partner?

On this episode, we hope to help you (as a user or a partner or friend of a regular user) to:

• Understand why this is a societal and cultural problem
• Understand how the porn habit is formed and how it can rewire our brains
• Evaluate the impact of porn on children, society and relationships

The business logic of the past decades no longer applies. A changed competitive world requires a new strategic question: “Where is the value being created — and destroyed — in the ecosystem in which you’re engaged, and what do you do about it?” 

Ralph Welborn, PhD is today’s guest. Ralph has held a variety of leadership positions, including CEO of Imaginatik, where he received the European CEO award in 2016; he has been leader of IBM’s Strategy & Transformation business in the Middle East and Africa; and senior vice president of KPMG Consulting and is also co-founder of an e-commerce company, today’s focus is his truly excellent book: Topple – The End of the Firm-Based Strategy and Rise of New Models for Explosive Growth.

Ralph will share specific lessons and insights for every sized organization to make sense of the changed competitive environment, including:

What is your ecosystem? — Who comprises it, and what is driving the shifts in value?

How, instead of pushing products, do you own a problem, meet a specific customer need and/or tackle specific friction?

What are the implications of the new strategic questions on where you play and, most importantly, how you execute?

What are the new capabilities critical to do so?

Who and how do you engage to orchestrate capabilities to capture the new sources of value in new ways?

“I struck a match and I didn’t know how much tinder was around” – Keith Conners

At the current rate, in 2017, half a million American children will be taken to their doctors and be newly diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Many of them will receive thoughtful and reasonable evaluations and benefit from medication. Another sizable number will be seen by casual clinicians who either bypass the child’s real problems or give in to his frustrated parents and teachers.

Some of the adolescents will be faking ADHD just to get Adderall for themselves or others. Whatever the actual breakdown, there will be 500,000 new diagnostic visits, millions of follow-ups, tens of millions of pills, and hundreds of millions in sales. Lots of business for everyone.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) will soon be the most frequently diagnosed chronic condition among children, surpassing asthma. Yet research shows that ADHD can't be that prevalent.

On this week’s show, we talk to the author of ADHD Nation, acclaimed New York Times journalist, Pulitzer prize nominee Alan Schwarz.

Alan takes us behind the scenes to tell the full story of this billion-dollar industry.

We talk about the history of ADHD, the history of diagnosis, the marketing of drugs and the mishandling of diagnosis. We also discuss the fake diagnosis problem where pressurized college students are taking ADHD drugs as amphetamines to get through high-pressure college exams.
