The omerisms podcast

Structure, rules and constructs can be useful mechanisms and when we're growing up, they're usually unavoidable.

At the same time, they can be both good and bad and, as we grow older, it's worth questioning many of them. Both in terms of what they mean for us but also, as importantly, what they mean for others we live and work with.

Getting older is something all of us have to deal with. And, especially in today's hyper-competitive, social media driven environment, it comes with its own challenges.

But, as I discuss in today's episode, the reality isn't quiet so black and white, which is heartening, because life is full of nuances. As are each of us.

Smartphones are everywhere and the natural temptation is to use it to record all of our important experiences for posterity.

However, as I discuss in today's episode, there's something to be said to, perhaps, put them away and to simply be in the moment.

A common mistake of someone new to the sales process (whether you're selling a product to a prospect or an idea to your boss) is that the more detail you provide, the higher the chances of success.

Reality works quite differently, as I explain in today's episode. The fact is that the onus is on us to get our message across, which means we need to do the work, not the customer.

In today's episode, I tackle my own personal prejudice with the drum machine, specifically via a song from the artist, The Weeknd.

It's a reminder that how we assess value isn't always objective but perhaps colored by years of conditioning, that often turns out to be wrong.

Bill Gates said that he once believed that, if someone had a high IQ, they could be good at everything. He doesn't anymore, and that's a key idea to come to terms with if you want to build a great enterprise.

Because great teams and achievements are, as I discuss in today's episode, built on the back of diverse capabilities and people.

When we listen to songs, they come fully formed - perfect entities in and of themselves. But the fact is that the really great ones can evolve and change over time, because they're driven by something deeper, more meaningful.

That, as I discuss in today's episode, is not that different from us and our lives.

Creating something new is a challenging task - so much so that many of us don't actually take the step to create whatever is that's in our head.

The reason, as I discuss in today's episode, is that we get caught up in two specific issues that stop us from taking those essential steps forward.

Whenever I go to Karachi, I'm amazed by how the city functions and how people go about their daily lives, especially when so much we take for granted in the west, just doesn't exist in the same way over there.

But, as I discuss in today's episode, people get on with things. They live their lives. Because it isn't just about what's around us and the way things are, it's about our own will.

Brands today are quite different from the brands I grew up with. Many of them are quite explicit about what the stand for and believe in, even if that narrows their target market.

These brands, I'd argue, achieve far greater loyalty and commitment than those that don't. Because, as I discuss in today's episode, consumers are sick of fitting in. And they expect brands to reflect that.
