#329 The Entrepreneurial Success of Delk Enterprises Achieving Financial Freedom Through Diversification

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 18 May 2023 10:00:00 -0700

Jeremy Delk is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for disrupting industries. Since 2001, his businesses have earned hundreds of millions in revenue, created hundreds of high paying American jobs, as well as other notable distinctions. Jeremy is also a bestselling author and popular public speaker.

He jumped into entrepreneurial ventures with the naivety of a child and the tenacity of a tycoon. He started day trading at the age of sixteen, learning and failing with each trade. It is this process of adapting through failures that is paramount to his success in business.

His knowledge and skill as a day trader helped him land a job as one of the youngest brokers at Fidelity trading institutional equities in Boston, and later in New York. It didn’t fulfill the entrepreneurial spark within him, so he decided to go out on his own creating Delk Enterprises.

Delk Enterprises has grown from making $6,000 in its first year in business to a diversified VC fund that has built and exited investments in both private and public transactions. Today, more than 20 years later, Delk Enterprises has holdings in biotech & healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development.

Jeremy now focuses on investing in and advising entrepreneurs through speaking. His upcoming book shares his reality of the Good, Bad, and UGLY of entrepreneurship. It serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of fundamental principles he’s learned through his journey: while great times don’t last forever, neither do the truly bad ones.

#328 Conversation with 2012 London Olympic Medal Winner - Dorothy Lee "Dotsie" Bausch

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:00:00 -0700

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.

Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast.

Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers, which chronicles the story of the world’s most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers was released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes.

Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike.

Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.

#331 From the Boardroom to the Field: A Journey of Executive Coaching

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:00:00 -0700

Welcome to our podcast featuring an executive coach who has a passion for both coaching executives in the boardroom and coaching kids on the soccer or football field at night. Our guest's journey to becoming an executive coach began with a love for football and a desire to become a football coach. However, after realizing the sacrifices that come with being a football coach, our guest's dream died for almost a decade and a half until they discovered the world of executive coaching seven years ago.

As an executive coach, our guest provides strategic planning, one-on-one coaching, and runs peer groups for business executives, owners, and entrepreneurs. But first, it's important to understand the difference between training, mentoring, and coaching. While training involves telling someone what to do, mentoring involves drawing on past experience to help someone understand the best thing to do for themselves. Coaching, on the other hand, is the most effective form of leadership and involves asking questions to help individuals bring out the best in themselves.

In this podcast, our guest will discuss the role of an executive coach and how they can help individuals reach their full potential in the business world. They will share their experiences working with executives, owners, and entrepreneurs and provide insights on how to overcome challenges and achieve success. If you're interested in learning more about the world of executive coaching, you won't want to miss this engaging conversation with our experienced coach.

#316 What should you know about Apple Search Ads

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 10:00:00 -0800

Apple is actually going to start its own ads platform, and they are going to start showing ads to Apple product users. So Apple obviously has become a huge powerhouse when it comes to gaining the attention of people.

Now, the thing is that last year, Apple made a change in their policy they stopped sharing detailed information about consumers, with companies like Facebook and Snapchat, and other social media platforms.

So what that did was it sort of limited the ability of these social media platforms to show contextual ads to the consumer. But now it is becoming clear why Apple did that because they actually wanted to cut off that data stream to the partners like Facebook and others as I mentioned, but on the flip side, they wanted to use that to their own advantage.

Now, it remains to be seen how the industry is going to react to this.

The idea behind this is conversational AI is becoming so good that it is practically indistinguishable from a real human.

And even when you start talking to a chatbot, or an AI system, it is smart enough to know its own boundaries, so it can actually start to interact with the consumer, it can actually start to answer those questions.

And then at some point, if the consumer asks a question that the system the AI system is not able to answer, it is smart enough to seamlessly transfer it over to a human being.

AI-generated art. Now today AI has become so powerful. It is generating art, it is generating text, it is even writing full books.

And this trend is going to continue. As AI becomes more powerful, it is going to start taking over repetitive tasks that humans have been assigned for centuries, not only the repetitive tasks, which are mundane tasks, but which take more creativity and more thinking, because AI algorithms are becoming powerful enough that they have that cognition power that humans possess.

So what is the impact of this, the impact is that a lot of the jobs in the future will be replaced by AI and the jobs that need more human empathy. They need higher levels of creativity. They need more high levels of empathy. These are the kinds of jobs that will be in demand in the coming future.

Let me share a story about a startup founder who came from Fortune 500 and started a very innovative company. He was so successful in raising funds and building credibility that he lost the point of why he was doing this startup in the first place.

He forgot to focus on the customers. He was still thinking in the way that fortune 500 companies think — developing a huge range of products and partnering with large corporations which are like whales.

These whale clients move very slowly. So in two years, this founder blew away about $15 million in venture capital, and at the end of the day, had nothing to show for it.

#301 What Do Entreprenuers Fear

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

The only fear is fear itself for a startup founder and entrepreneur.

Business is full of uncertainties but as business owners, we’ve to recognize one thing — business is all about taking calculated risks.

Meaning you only risk your money, time and energy that you’re willing to lose, even if it doesn't work out.

The experience of going through that journey will be enough to pay off. And the second thing is, the reward and the impact that you can make is so much bigger, that everything that you’ve risked is totally worth it.

#300 What Are The 4 Types Of Communications

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

There are four types of communication.

The first level is what I want to convey; 2nd is what comes out of my mouth; 3rd is what you hear in terms of words, and 4th is how it actually makes you feel inside your mind.

These are all different and some people will be included in the audio while others in the video.

All these combinations make you more effective with your employees, partners, or customers. The key here is to make sure your message is as clear as possible to as many people as possible.

So I got pitched by a startup founder and here are a few things that I really liked about their approach

The founders shared their stories about their journey, life, and what have they achieved — which shows they are resilient, committed, and finish what they start.

The next thing is — they really projected the value of what they are doing because I like to invest in projects that have a long-lasting impact on humanity. So they really projected how they're trying to solve a problem that is plaguing 10s of 1000s, if not millions of people around the globe.

Startup founders have to make hundreds of decisions every day. So if we get into analysis paralysis, where we look at all the future outcomes — our decisions get slow, and that kills the momentum.

So it's much better to make a decision, even if that decision is difficult or wrong in that timeframe. It's more important to keep moving and going with the flow.

The worst-case scenario is you may end up realizing you made the wrong decision. And at that time, you can actually fix the decision and make a different decision. The idea is to keep the momentum going.

Don’t use very technical language and don’t attempt to be smart. Instead, treat everybody like they are in seventh grade and use simple language so that most people can understand what you're trying to say.

The second thing is — to try to use different mediums — if you’re a good writer, write; If you’re good at video, shoot a video with the same content and then create audio out of that and distribute it on different platforms, because some people will like to read, some watch the video and some listen to the audio.

How fast are you going to bring that return? When are they going to see an exit? All these are very important to investors. So start telling the story from their point of view, and they'll show more interest.

I spent the weekend in the jungle on a meditation retreat, and I met a lot of beautiful people there. One question I get asked very frequently when I tell them that I work with artificial intelligence is whether it is harmful to humans — will it take over?

And I firmly believe that this is a fear of the unknown, even though people like Elon Musk are warning us about it — I don't believe in that. Because the technology that is built by humans is actually part of our evolution.

So it can’t be treated as some other entity that is going to be harmful. And the example I use is the discovery of fire and wheel. All these technologies have become part of us.

A lot of people think the relationship with your customer starts when you make the sale. But that's a misconception.

The customer relationship starts when they first notice you and become aware of your brand. Now, as they become aware — they show some interest, they will start to stalk you and will consume everything that you're putting out.

This is the journey — they are developing their own relationship with you. And when they actually give you their money and become a real customer as far as you are concerned.

And I just bought out of taking any examination for that year. But there was one particular teacher who encouraged me to study hard and just go for it. She said, even if you fail, it doesn't matter because we all understand. You were sick, and you were out in the hospital for weeks. So on her encouragement, I actually wrote the exam. And to my surprise, I got first place. At that time, I realized, that if I really push myself and really apply myself, I can do anything that I want. And after that, I was always in the upper 10th percentile throughout my educational journey. What have you learned in school or university that has helped you in your career?

Why do you do what you do? As startup founders & business owners, we really need to figure out what is our ‘why’. So how do you determine your ‘why’?

Well, there is a simple exercise with seven levels of why — ask yourself, why are you doing this?

The typical first-level answer is to make money. Then ask yourself again, why do you need to make money and probably you will say something like, I want to buy a bigger house, I want to go on vacation, I want to enjoy my life.

And then you ask yourself again, why do you want a bigger house? And if you keep going deeper and deeper and deeper, ultimately you will arrive at your core ‘Why’? What drives you as a person — as a human being? What is your purpose?

Know How Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI Will Change Our Lives From Inderpal Bhandari, Global Chief Data Officer at IBM

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 08:00:00 -0700

Shownotes

(20:14) Manuj asks what is the value of a degree today… I think eventually it's the experience that counts. That's why I think the technology programs are more hands-on — it doesn't mean that you have to go in and do all the coding yourself. I mean, at Carnegie Mellon, I did some coding, but eventually, I was able to interest a very smart undergraduate student to implement most of my work. And I worked out much faster, and I had a much bigger thesis... So I think it depends on how it's done. But yeah, a good education can be extremely valuable.

(29:39) Inderpal responds to AI taking over the human world… It's a tool to make things more accurate, faster, more efficient, etc. But it still has to provide even more powerful explanations and transparency than you would otherwise provide. In 2011, we had a program that won Jeopardy Watson — so from an algorithmic standpoint, we were at the top of the hill. But from an enterprise standpoint, what we realize is the algorithm isn't everything. AI programs can process all the unstructured data as well like video, audio, scene composition, etc. But now flip over to the people side, if there's somebody who’s a decision maker, they have to be comfortable dealing with such a program.

Inderpal is the Global Chief Data Officer at IBM and leads the company’s data strategy to ensure IBM remains the number one AI and hybrid cloud provider for the enterprise. His expertise is in transforming data into corporate value and better customer experiences through strategic & innovative capabilities that leverage analytic insights to support growth and productivity.

It’s interesting that he worked at IBM as a Research Staff Member till 1997 and rejoined IBM in 2015 — bringing more than 20 years of leadership experience at leading companies such as Cambia Health Solutions and Express Scripts/Medco Health Solutions.

Inderpal also served as Cambia Health Solutions' Senior Vice President and Chief Data Officer, where he drove the development of the company's data strategy. Cambia Health Solutions is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, working to create a person-focused and economically sustainable health care system. Cambia employs more than 4000 employees and reaches more than 70 million Americans nationwide

Before that, Inderpal was Vice President of Knowledge Solutions and Chief Data Officer at Express Scripts/Medco Health Solutions. Express Scripts employs more than 13,000 people and works to help 100 million people get, and stay, healthy.

Inderpal’s goal is to turn challenges into opportunities by solving the most complex problems with data, AI, and technology, all while strengthening IBM's trusted, enterprise-wide data and AI backbone.

He was selected as the CDO Club's 2017 U.S. Chief Data Officer of the Year, and he has been quoted as an industry expert by the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, US News & World Report, CNN, and FOX.

Your passion can make you a millionaire | Dev Gadhvi

Introduction to Dev Gadhvi
(0:28) Today, we are going to have a very interesting discussion with Dev Gadhvi. Dev has a very inspirational story — I will request him to introduce himself and share a little bit about his story. But he's one of the leading entrepreneurs, mentors, and coaches, who help 1000s and 1000s of people around the globe, find their passion and build a business around their passion. So welcome. Very excited to have you here.

Highlights

(1:29) I was brought up in Adipur Kutch Gujrat. While growing up, the first 20 years were very difficult, didn't have the money or resources to get an English medium education. The next phase of my life was 16 years, which was typically a nine-to-five life. And I started developing my skills in sales, marketing, branding, and book writing, that phase got me to the third phase of life. That's when I met my first mentor Grant Cardone who gave me a new perspective.

(14:02) …90% of businesses fail in the first five years, then the remaining 9% out of 10% fail in the next five years And there’s a common pattern for that — the root cause of businesses failing is a lack of clarity, mission, and vision. Most of them started because they want to copy somebody. Let me just ride the wave you know, everybody is going into crypto, NFT, and so on. You need to be unique in order to win — how can you be you? Most people just focus on demand, what does the market want? Let me just do that. They're not passionate about it. They may or may not have skills, that's why they fail. So knowing who you are, what is your mission, and what is your vision — makes yous unique. Because businesses can be similar but you are unique.

#283 What Investors Look For

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 06:00:00 -0700

After working with hundreds of investors, what I’ve found is savvy investors only invest in businesses that they really understand. And they don't go around looking for all kinds of opportunities out there. They just pick a niche. And they get experts at that. Because they really understand these companies — they can see where the founder is trying to take them. And then they can help provide some direction, connections, and networking opportunities for these founders. And these are the kinds of investors who become insanely successful while playing the venture capitalist game. So if you're looking to raise money and connect with the right investor, but don't know how to go about it, let us know. We'll be happy to help you.

Do you think this is a real problem in the business world, in the B2B community, B2C community…” Whatever the target audience seems to be, I go to my network, and I start sharing that idea and getting honest feedback.

Introduction to Arun Patnaik

(00:30 )Arun has an amazing story — right now he's a vice president in Oracle. And he's working on some really exciting projects, which we will talk about. But he also has a very interesting story similar to mine, he came from India, from a remote village, and now he's managing a team of about 250. So let's talk to him. Let's understand his journey, what he has learned and what lessons he can share with us

Highlights

(5:19) So it seems like the innate talent you had was showing up early… getting that scholarship. And I think, as you said, the foundational learnings that we get from our parents, and in early childhood, really shape our life. And the last thing I take away from this is, as you said — Sybase approach you twice — if something is meant to be, it generally happens.

(33:53) Mentoring for me has been… asking hard questions to myself. The key is to seek out mentors, depending on wherever you are, find somebody who has been through that or who has some idea about it. And hopefully, they can point you to look at things in a certain manner. Mentoring is an enriching experience. Because you have only one life — and if you wanted to learn everything you could learn only from your experience… that would be limited. Arun continues to talk about mentoring — so mentoring also gives you exposure to problems others are facing, and how they're overcoming them…

This means only about one to 2% of the startups actually become successful businesses. Why is that? because of one reason: cash flow. Because the strength & health of a business depend on cash flow — how much cash are you bringing in, how much revenue are you bringing in? It doesn't matter how much money you’ve been able to raise, how many investors you have, how many brands you have as your partners, how many logos you have on your pitch deck, what kind of rockstars you have on your advisory team or your executive team?

He’s the founder of AIML Exchange, BRINTTM Future of Finance, and C4I-Cyber and has a worldwide impact on global digital transformation practices.

Malhotra is an MIT-Princeton industry expert, silicon valley-wall street-pentagon digital pioneer, and a leader in the future of finance-technology risk for 3 decades. This earned him a place among the R&D impact recognized AI-Finance Nobel laureates.

His pioneering work in various fields of technology has impacted some of the biggest companies in the world — alongside NSF-UN-US & world governments.

Dr. Yogesh Malhotra is an industry pioneer in Human-Centered and Meaning-Driven Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Uncertainty Time-Space Complexity practices and has served as CEO, CIO, CTO, and CISO of global digital ventures with global client patrons.

His biographical profile has been selected for listing in the most prestigious global biographical references of the world's top leaders and achievers for over 20 years by Marquis Who's Who such as in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in Finance & Industry, and, Who's Who in Science & Engineering.

Highlights

(21:39) All of AI doesn't matter what AI you have, does not have common sense. It cannot make sense. Therefore, it can't have any meaning. Unless you solve these problems — unless you can have any big hi-fi things like possible Explainable AI. I think what I'm saying is not very different. It matches a lot with people in computer science. But they don't have the frameworks or templates coming from the diverse psychological backgrounds, which are blended with computer science.

(35:20) If we were working on adversarial uncertainty, that means you might have a Tesla, but as a hacker, I can take your car and spirit. If your AI controls you more than you can control based on that… I have challenged just for fun both Elon Musk of Tesla and one of the Nobel Prize winners at Princeton that self-driving have a long way to go. So stop dumping humans to make them softer machines, and stop overlaying on technology by blindly relying on them.

However, it became a cliché because these two men are legends in their respective fields. One thing they have in common is that they are both keen observers of humanity and behavior. Another thing they do is try to make people happy. As a result, the happier people are, the more money they spend. Therefore, businesses should always strive to maximize customer happiness and satisfaction.

What It Takes to Become an Expert in Data Science and Analytics | Beverly Wright

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 22:00:00 -0700

Highlights

(16:44) We are trying to understand human beings because data science is nothing else but to affect some change in the real world which affects humans and if we don't understand their priorities, it's a moot point.

(25:20) Well, there's bias and the goal is to reduce it so if you're talking about bias and problem framing, the first thing I do is say close your laptop just don't even look at it and the second thing I highly recommend is a whiteboard, just hashing through the problems that you're trying to solve using some low-tech method like a whiteboard without looking at the data.

(28:54) It's a little frightening in some ways... especially I get a little nervous when I think about like cognitive computing and programs that are programming like machines talking to machines and when the human element gets sort of left out of the entire equation quite literally, sometimes that makes me a little nervous for our future because I want to make sure that that the black box is a solid one and then it's a good one and it's an ethical one.

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 07:05:33 -0800

#242 Three ways to motivate your employees

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 07:44:34 -0700

Shownotes

Communication with your employees is one of the most important things you can do to maintain that motivation. You want to know what's going on in their lives, you want to know what's going on in their career, you want to know what they're doing outside of work, so you can get a sense of how they're spending their time and what they're doing during that time.

When you know your team members' stories, then you can understand what it is that pushes their buttons, what motivates them. You can help them get better at what they do, you can give them the kind of feedback that they need to improve their performance.

You can also understand when someone's down and out because let's face it, people get sick, people get tired, people get bored.

They've been working in the same job for a while, they're not sure if they're getting paid enough or if they're getting paid too much or whatever it is. So keeping communication lines open is very important. Also, it's important to know about your team member's personal life. This will help you understand how you should approach them when things aren't going so well in their personal lives. Maybe something happened with their family or something like that. So knowing how to approach your team members in different situations is key to understanding what's the best way to motivate them during different periods of time.

Here are four top ways to motivate your employees

1. Communicate better and listen to your employees

2. Lead by example and be a role model to your team members

3. Incentivise good results produced by your team members

4. Encourage lessons to be learned from mistakes made by your team members

Remember, teamwork makes the dream work

#241 Three important character traits an entrepreneur needs

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 08:52:32 -0700

Shownotes

Every day there's going to be something new, an employee is going to quit, a client is going to pull their account, your ad account may get affected someday, SEO may not be working, your email list may start bouncing, all these problems are going to show up at your doorstep and you're going to have to fix them.

You're going to need to hire someone with knowledge of your industry and their take on things. They can see patterns in your business that others miss. They can spot opportunities that others miss. They're going to see red flags in your behavior that others don't see. And they're going to do everything they can to make sure these issues don't grow and become major problems.

Here are 3 important character traits an entrepreneur needs

1. Flexibility

Most of the time, what you start out doing isn't exactly what you end up doing when you're successful. As you launch your business, you'll see that some of the things you expected to function don't. You'll run into stuff that you weren't expecting to work. You'll observe others in your business doing things that will benefit your company, and you'll imitate them. You'll need to be adaptable.

Even if you are one of the fortunate ones who has perfect initial ideas, the world will alter around you. We know a business owner who started out as a residential realtor. When the housing market crashed, he shifted his focus to property management, which requires similar abilities but is counter-cyclical.

Several times, we've had to alter our own businesses. Polly founded a company in 2002 to assist small businesses in staying compliant with new labor rules. She intended to conduct audits of human resources. Her strategy has a major weakness. The majority of small-business owners do not want to be aware that their company is out of compliance. We had a much broader emphasis when we launched Whitestone Partners. We made every effort to complete the task. However, over time, we've honed our services, focusing on assisting businesses with their migrations from micro to small and small to midsize.

It's crucial to be adaptable. If you want to be an entrepreneur, the only constant in your life will be change. If you don't adapt, your company will be swept away by the wave of change. Persistence is a close second to adaptation.

2. A strong work ethic

The ability and willingness to work extremely hard is the third required talent. It's challenging to run a tiny firm. You'll be awake for considerably more than eight hours each day. If your week begins on Monday, you will have worked for 40 hours by Thursday, but you will not have slowed down. You'll be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Being a successful entrepreneur necessitates a lot of effort.

Running a small business is difficult, but if you are adaptive, have the will and resources to persevere, and are prepared to put in long hours, you will considerably boost your chances of success. Adaptability, perseverance, and hard effort are the cornerstones to small-business success, but they are three important traits that no maverick should lack.

Work ethic is something that successful entrepreneurs are well-versed in. They'll usually be the first ones to arrive at work and the last ones to leave. If there is unfinished business, they will come into the office on weekends and holidays to finish the task. These are the people who are always thinking about work, even while they are having fun.

3. Persistence

Inevitably, there will be potholes on the road. You'll lose a lot of business. Good

employees will quit, and some may go to work for competitors. Regulations will be changed by the government, which will normally make things more compl

#240 Why is Big Data important for businesses?

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 09:45:21 -0700

Shownotes

The importance of Big Data analytics, data mining, and everything to do with data cannot be understated.

It enables you to capture more clients, serve more communities and build more profits.

Once you understand the power of data, you can figure out what your customers are thinking and what they're likely to buy.

Here are the four reasons Why big data is important for business

Understand market circumstances.

Big data analysis aids in the comprehension of current market situations.

For example, by studying client purchase behaviors, a company can determine which products are the most popular and manufacture new products in line with this trend.

As a result, it will be able to outperform its competition.

Improve your understanding of your customers.

With the use of big data analysis, a company can have a deeper understanding of its customers.

It can anticipate what its customers want and deliver them better service as well as better products.

Also, because big data solutions can automatically detect unfavorable remarks on social media, firms may easily reduce customer complaints. As a result, you will be able to act quickly.

Cost Savings.

Implementing big data technologies may be costly at first, but it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Because big data technologies are real-time systems, they relieve IT workers of some of their responsibilities. As a result, you can put these resources to good use elsewhere.

Furthermore, big data technologies make storing vast volumes of data much easier, but more significantly, the data you save will be reliable, as big data tools have greatly reduced the chance of inaccurate data.

Maintain control of your internet reputation.

Control your online reputation with sentiment analysis using big data techniques.

As a result, you can learn more about who is saying what about your business. If you want to keep track of and improve your company's online visibility, big data tools are a must-have.

#238 What Is SMU? How will it help startups and entrepreneurs?

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 10:52:09 -0700

Shownotes

Every year, around 472 million entrepreneurs and 305 million enterprises are formed.

1.3 million of those startups are in the technology sector. Regardless of the industry, the majority of them fail.

The continuous rise in entrepreneurship is a sign that economies are thriving.

However, as the number of new businesses grows, so do old, often incorrect notions about startups.

Myths can be found in every aspect of startup culture, from lifestyle and invention to fame and money.

Getting a new company off the ground is difficult enough. Staying grounded when navigating the hurdles of establishing a new business can be as simple as staying honest and differentiating fact from fantasy.

Here are the 3startup myths uncovered

Myth #1: Startups need a unique idea to succeed

Many people believe that a startup is a new company that has come up with a novel business idea, intends to make an immediate effect, and eventually takes over the market.

This is a dangerous misconception. Many people believe this myth since startup success is often modeled after unicorn celebrities like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Elon Musk, Jack Ma, and others.

This, however, misses the key reason for their success, which is due to their business strategy, product positioning, and customer experience, rather than the novelty of their concept.

Facebook was far from the first social media platform. It was a rip-off of Myspace and houseSYSTEM. The first search engine was not Google. Overture invented search monetization, not Google.

Farmville was not created by Zynga; it was a copy of Farmtown. Farmtown was, in turn, a rip-off of HappyFarm, a Chinese game. Microsoft Windows was not the first graphical user interface operating system.

Despite being technically inferior to its competitors, it was able to win the market share battle between IBM and Apple. This was simply because Microsoft, more than IBM or Apple, knew what customers really wanted.

Success has nothing to do with your business idea.

Ideas are important, but so are planning, talent, leadership, communication, and a host of other factors.

Myth #2: If you build it, they will come

The “if you create it, they will come” debate is the second frequent startup mystery. It's called controversy because it's a myth that has slowed me down as a young entrepreneur, and the numbers back it up.

According to research, 21.5 percent of startups fail in their first year, 30% in their second year, 50% in their fifth year, and 70% in their tenth year.

Many people have spent years building startups, investing their time, energy, and life savings in the hopes that their sponsors will notice their efforts and come after them, but this has never happened. Most people are aware of Yahoo's, Google's, and Facebook's enormous success.

After all, these are simply free websites that attract a large number of people. This offers entrepreneurs a false feeling of security, leading them to believe that inventing technology and putting it out there is all they need to do to attract people.

They are oblivious to the fact that Google floundered for years before becoming well-known. Facebook was hardly known at Harvard University when it was founded, and it took several pivots before it gained traction.

The point is that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to success. Ninety percent of the work that goes into starting a business is hidden from view. It is not discussed in the media.

Only years later, when you read the founders' memoirs and autobiographies, do you learn about the actual path they had to t

1. Can you tell us about your journey? I mean, you started off as a science fiction writer, you were doing so many things and now you're pushing the boundaries of technology for the United States Air Force and innovating. All these amazing things. So please help us get to know you better.

(4:28) I actually started off with Fish and Wildlife Service as a wildland firefighter and a park ranger. Five years and my love of technology came through there. I was using radio telemetry to track endangered squirrel populations on the Delmarva Peninsula, sturgeons, up and down the Chesapeake Bay to study their migration. So a lot of the technologies that I started to play around with started in the Fish and Wildlife Service, and then I joined the Air Force.

They were a part of the plan to pay for a master's degree and actually go back to the FBI, which is a completely different story. But doing that, I decided that, hey, I really love this and I want to stay on board as an intelligence officer where I'm looking at different types of technologies. What are the risks that they pose? What are some of the opportunities that they bring? And then how do we bring that together, you know, on behalf of national security, and then that led to my current job, which I've been doing for the last six years as an innovation officer.

#236 Why are startups failing?

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 09:01:32 -0700

Shownotes:

The reason so many startups fail is that people think too much about their business and not enough about their business.

What that means is, they don't go meet new people or spread the word about their business.

Here are the three reasons why startups fail

Costs and pricing

Most startup founders focus too much on growing their business and not enough on funding it.

This means they don't go out and spend a lot of time on lead generation, spreading the message.

The improper teams

Successful teams don't focus on building the wrong team. It has a lot to do with people.

If you want to have a successful startup, one of the key elements that I have found is that you should be curious about both people internally and externally.

Being curious about your employees' well-being, i.e., treating them as people rather than just as employees, will help you discover their potential and include them in building the culture of the company.

Insufficient market demand

Many people think that if they just push on and keep doing more and more and more, building new products, creating new services, reaching out to new markets, but if they don't focus on the people aspect, their startups will fail.

At the same time, if you just focus on business growth, you will forget about the people's needs.

The interview-

(2:06)

1. So you've had a very successful career. And you know, you've done some amazing things. Help us? How did it all come about? Maybe walk us down Memory Lane? How did it all get started?

(2:25) I started my career in New York City and media, and I was at a magazine called Time Magazine. And I actually wrote about it in my book that I wanted to work for Fortune Magazine, but they wouldn't hire me. So that was probably my first big hit where I thought, why won't they hire me? I mean I'm a great writer and I thought of it when I was at age 21.

I was very interested in finance, and I would love to work for them but they weren't hiring people unless you had experience. I ended up getting a role at Time Magazine in circulation, which was direct to consumer businesses and subscriptions. That was really where I was trained. in sort of that first role. I left after a few years, was recruited out to a late-stage startup called CNN. I was there at a time when Ted Turner was still running around the office, he was bouncing between Atlanta and New York.

It was definitely my first experience with a visionary entrepreneur, there were plenty of people who thought that he wouldn't be able to do what he was setting out to do, that he wanted 24-hour news across the world. He was lucky at this point to have it in 50% of the households because people didn't have cable.

So watching somebody who I believed in, but I also thought there was a chance that it's not really going to play out the way that he wants it to. I watched him build the brand, put stakes in the ground, and he never floundered. I mean, he was always very consistent about his messaging and what he believed was such a pleasure to even see him and hear him talk in the kitchen because you think like, he is a little crazy, but he believes and I believe, because he believes I got to spend more time with this person.

Anyway, it was then the Gulf War rolled around when Iraq learned that they were being bombed, frankly, that's that, they turned on CNN, and now really the hockey stick for CNN and I was there during that time. So I was there for a few more years. And then I decided to move to Silicon Valley and was engaged.

My husband had just graduated from law school and wanted to do technology law. So we moved out to Silicon Valley, the only person that I thought of when I thought about

#234 Three rituals to increase your productivity

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 08:18:06 -0700

Business, entrepreneurship, and leadership are chaotic games. You need to be calm so that you can make the right decisions.

Here are 3 rituals to boost your productivity and focus

Enough sleep

Make sure you get enough sleep. Sleep is an important part of the day cycle, and a lot of entrepreneurs don't realize how important sleep is to their success.

If you don't sleep at least 6 hours a night, your mental performance will decline during the day. And if you don't get enough sleep regularly, your performance will degrade over time.

Meditation

When you meditate, you will be able to calm yourself. When you are not distracted by external factors, you will be able to focus on your problems clearly and find solutions to them.

It's easy to meditate, just sit down, close your eyes and let go of all the worries. And then once you quiet your mind, you can easily feel a difference in your life.

Here's an important fact: Meditation and mindfulness actually help boost your creativity!

Journaling

Journaling is a time-honored practice that can help with all sorts of problems. By making a habit of writing down your day-to-day thoughts and experiences, you essentially improve brain function.

It's recommended that you don't use a computer and a typewriter to write your journal, because writing on a piece of paper will trigger unique thoughts in your brain.

Keeping a journal helps you maintain your momentum. Keeping a journal can help you look at your history and see how you've performed in the past. It can also help remind you of strengths that you used in the past to solve problems.

The point is, you've got to focus on being positive and feed your mind with good thoughts if you're going to achieve something.

#233 How does innovation contribute to success?

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 08:09:25 -0700

There is no doubt that innovation is one of the most important factors for the long-term survival and growth of your business.

Many top companies around the world are turning to innovation as they look to compete in today’s highly competitive marketplace and remain relevant in the future.

Innovation is not the only key to creating new products but also evaluating existing ones. New discoveries are made every day and often these provide the spark for new business.

Here are the five contributions of innovation to success

Growth of the economy

Technological advancement is seen as a significant source of economic progress. Economic growth is defined as the increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of an economy's goods and services over time.

It's usually expressed as a percentage rise in real gross domestic output.

There are generally two ways to boost the economy's output:

Increase the number of inputs to the manufacturing process.
Create new methods for getting more output from the same number of inputs.

The goal of innovation is to come up with new ideas and technologies that boost productivity and improve productivity while using the same amount of resources.

When we examine the shift of the United States from a predominantly agrarian economy to an industrial one by the First World War, we can see that agricultural advancements and inventions were one of the most important contributors in bringing about the Industrial Revolution.

Agricultural productivity advances had already changed the way people worked in Europe, freeing farmers to pursue other interests and allowing them to go to the city for industrial labor.

Productivity rose as a result of the change from hand-made to machine-made products, which had a direct impact on living standards and growth.

According to a new World Economic Forum research, roughly 133 million new employment might be generated by 2022, with AI, automation, and robotics displacing 75 million jobs.

2. Accessibility to information and education

Even among the poorest 20% of the population, 7 out of 10 homes have a cell phone, according to the World Bank Annual Report 2016. This means that there are currently more people with mobile phones than there are with sanitation or clean water.

In addition, by 2020, the number of mobile workers is predicted to increase from roughly 96 million to more than 105 million. Mobile technology advancements such as voice control and augmented reality are empowering workers in entirely new ways.

Rural communities can also benefit from technological advancements in order to grow and become more sustainable.

Despite some obstacles to technology adoption, such as the poor wealth of user capability, more individuals can have access to information and increase their knowledge.

3. Increased well-being

In general, as living standards rise, innovation and economic expansion improve well-being. According to the Brookings Institution, countries with more GDP per capita had higher average life satisfaction.

According to another study, there is a correlation between innovation and subjective well-being.

However, not all of the advantages of innovation and expansion are shared equally. Growth in real GDP is frequently associated with increased income and wealth disparity.

Although there is no set amount of inequality that is considered excessive, larger socioeconomic differences are likely to have negative consequences.

In theory, income disparity isn't a concern unless it affects actua

Matt is a person of multiple talents with his profession revolving around analytics, behavior, economics, Decision Sciences, and AI. And Matt is obviously a successful investor, entrepreneur, decision theorist, and writer.

The interview-

(2:22)

Can you walk us through your journey? Like how, you know, how did it all happen? How, how did you get to this point, being an immigrant? What kind of challenges did you face? Something about your backstory?

(3:01) I have been a student here for 25 years. I originally came here as an exchange student, and then ended up getting my master's degree. I got my MBA while focusing on my decision theory studies.

People called the study of decision-making "Decision Sciences" and it was considered a legitimate academic discipline. It's essentially the discipline of trying to make better decisions and using models, theories, and math.

Over time, everyone learns a lot, and I've learned that America has many opportunities for entrepreneurship and investing. I also believe that America is the best place to do whatever you want. With hard work and a bit of luck, good things happen.

(5:08)

Generally, we make decisions on, you know, just random things based on our experience, we are very impulsive about decision making. So how do you see the world differently, how do you even figure it out? What are the factors that you need to consider before you can make a decision?

(5:53) To be considered a meaningful decision, it must involve something with value at stake. That could mean money, but it can also meantime.

Decisions you make every day may affect your personal life, the people around you, your business, or your bank account. Such as a decision to buy a house. When you're buying a home, there are some tangible attributes (size, number of rooms, etc.), but in the end, it's the intangible things about a home that are most important but ultimately you buy a house because it's like your grandmother's.

You want to make this decision from a personal perspective, based on what's important to you. In business, the best entrepreneurs evaluate both the stakes and probability of success.

If you have a positive expected value from a risky investment, it's smart to take the risk. If you don't, stay away.

(15:30)

So I'm guessing that you took all this information that you have and sort of applied it to venture capital and came up with a model to figure out how to optimally deploy your capit

#231 How to embrace innovation?

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 22:12:23 -0700

How do you embrace innovation?

You know, with business and entrepreneurship, it's all about solving problems. If you find new ways of solving these problems, it will only benefit your business.

Innovation is how a company grows. It's a way to add value. Innovation increases your profits and reduces your costs.

So the idea behind innovation is to never stop. Never be satisfied with the status quo, always try to look for new ways of improvement, even if that improvement is about 1% every time.

If you can improve your skills by 1% per week, then by the end of the year, you'll be far ahead of where you are now.

Feedback is a key element in any business, and it's important to get feedback from other people, including your customers, employees, renders, and partners.

New opportunities to improve your business will emerge, and customers will trust you more because they know that you're one of the few who act on customer feedback.

Once you've made a customer's life better, they will become committed to a long-term relationship with you.

(2:28)

First of all, let's get to know you. How did you get into this? What was your journey like in your career up to up to this point.

(2:42): Colin started in this field when it wasn't called AI or data science. It didn't have much hype back then. He shares his experience on how marketing professionals were more convincing than him. He learnt an important lesson from the book Sunsoo: The Art of War and he changed the conversations in the meetings to facts rather than who is more convincing. And step by step he did projects in marketing, operations and then healthcare and banking. Colin says he hasn't looked back since then.

(5:06)

Like, you know, AI, and there are so many terms machine learning AI data science. Can you help us unpack these terms for a layperson who's not a geek like you and I? What do these terms mean and how do they apply in different business scenarios.

(5:43): Colin Priest defines buzzwords in simple and understandable definitions. Colin starts with data science. He says, Data Science is how you manipulate data to make better decisions. The next term he defines is machine learning. He defines it as- You give the computer some examples, with the correct answer, and you get it to figure out for itself, how to get from the inputs to the outputs. And the last term Colin defines is artificial intelligence. He says that there's a lot of people that haven't separated science fiction from fact. Artificial intelligence is merely a computer, doing something that historically required human intelligence. But that doesn't mean it has human intelligence.

#228 Real world examples of how big data and AI are transforming industries

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 10:32:27 -0700

(0:25)

Introduction: Big data and AI are incorporated into almost every aspect of our lives. Self-driving cars, namely, are being produced. And AI assistants like Alexa and Siri can now help carry out more complex commands.

The seed technology that has enabled all these technologies is humongous amounts of data and pattern recognition machine learning algorithms.

When Coronavirus appeared, scientists from across the world raced to invent a vaccine. Within three months, the process that used to take decades was completed. The only reason for this was access to big data and AI algorithms.

The market for big data was about $32 billion in 2017. And in 2025, it is projected to be $156 billion.

In this podcast, Manuj goes over five important ways that you can use big data and AI to improve your business.

(1:55)

Personalization

The first use of big data and AI is the ability to personalize products and services to an individual's preferences. Many of us come from different backgrounds and have different preferences, so we can all benefit from things that are more tailored towards us. Manuj discusses the case of Wimbledon, Spotify, and other OTT platforms like Netflix to explain the use of big data in personalization.

(3:56)

Security

The second use of big data and AI is in the area of security. The internet is a global network of interconnected devices. Whenever data is sent from one device to another, it can be accessed by anyone who has the necessary equipment. Thanks to big data and AI, algorithms can monitor this traffic and detect any anomalies in the data. Manuj discusses how cybercrime grew during the pandemic and how the government is using AI and big data to prevent future attacks.

(6:04)

Healthcare

The third big application of artificial intelligence and big data is in healthcare. Manuj talks about preventative healthcare. Until now, we've dealt with it after the fact. With AI and big data, we can take preventative action in advance to prevent you from getting sick. Much like in other areas of marketing, big data and AI technology can transform precision medicine by helping us to find out the most effective treatments for each individual. Manuj discusses how big data and AI is used in research and development.

(8:43)

Education

The fourth application case of AI and big data is in the area of education and professional training. Education is fundamental to shaping society and the economy, so innovators are working hard to personalize it and prepare their students for the careers of tomorrow. To explain this case, Manuj discusses a project he was personally involved in, called degree compass. In that project, they used data from hundreds and 1000s of students to recommend the right courses for other students to reduce the number of students dropping out.

(11:43)

Retail

The fifth area where AI and big data are used is obviously retail. The retail sector is growing quickly, and it's one of the areas where big data and AI can be used for personalization and to automate package delivery. Manuj gives an example of Amazon and Alibaba, companies that have been able to change the way customers buy goods and services, such as: automating delivery, preventing credit card frauds, personalizing shopping experiences, and making recommendations based on what you've purchased in the past which was possible using AI and big data.

#227 How to not get distracted | Nir Eyal | Manuj Aggarwal

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 07:14:33 -0700

Highlights

0:01- The problem is no longer that we don't know what to do. The problem is we don't know how to stop getting in our own way. We don't know how to stop getting distracted.

0:09- Conventional wisdom turns out not only to be wrong but turns out to be actually harmful.

0:13- And so this is why our self-image is so important that if we believe that we are limited in one way or another, we will act according to those beliefs.

0:23- This is called learned helplessness. And so that's what we need to understand that the way we talk to ourselves, the way we imagine and perceive our temperament around our limitations, is incredibly important

0:38- Again, you can't call something a distraction unless you know what it distracted you from

(1:09) Introduction:

Nir Eyal writes, consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business.

Nir previously taught as a lecturer in marketing at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford, Nir co-founded and sold two tech companies since 2003.

And was dubbed by MIT Technology Review as the profit of habit-forming technology.

He's the author of two best-selling books. Hooked: How to build habit-forming products and Indistractable- how to control your attention and choose your life.

Indistractable, received critical acclaim winning outstanding works of literature, literature OWL Award as well as being named one of the best business and leadership books of the year by Amazon, and one of the best personal development books of the year by Audible.

The Globe and Mail called indestructible, the best business book of 2019.

Nir has attended Stanford Graduate School of Business and Emory University.

(2:55)

So tell us a little bit about your new book Indistractable, how did it come about and what is the theme of this book?

(3:04) The book Indistractable is about Nir's struggle with distraction. There was one moment in his life that made him reevaluate his relationship with it. He shares that experience that made him realize how distracted he must have been while eating or even while working on a task. Nir says the problem is no longer that we don't know what to do. The problem is we don't know how to stop getting in our own way. We don't know how to stop getting distracted. He shares how he was able to figure out the solution to prevent getting distracted after immersing himself in studying psychology.

(6:25)

You do very thorough research on every topic that you undertake. So tell us about that, like, you know, how do you come up with that process? How do you even start researching this, if nobody has done a good enough job of doing this, you're breaking new ground? How do you go about doing all this?

(6:57) Nir says that to him every book starts with a personal problem. He shares that it’s the reason why he loves his job,

#226 Ten crucial aspects you need to consider before considering and implementing a new business strategy

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 10:29:56 -0700

(0:56): Aspect number 1 - Evaluate if you're ready for a change in business strategy.

One of the most important things to consider is if you're actually ready to make a change. The professional world presents us with a lot of chances to learn and grow, but it's important that you have the mindset (and network) to take advantage of those opportunities.

(2:00): Aspect number 2 - Figure out the root cause of the problem and fix it.

A business needs a lot of different things to go right for it to continue to grow. If a few things go wrong, it can still grow. But it will take an incredible set of circumstances to get there. So you need to identify the root cause of the problem and plan a strategy to fix it.

(3:12): Aspect number 3 - Make sure that your new business strategy has a positive ROI.

Your business goals should be such that the expected return on investment (ROI) is high. The higher the ROI, the more likely it is that you will succeed. When planning a new strategy, determine if this business plan will bring a high return on investment.

(4:02): Aspect number 4 - Make sure that your new plan complements your existing strengths.

An important aspect of selecting a successful new strategy is identifying which core strengths your company already has. While your new strategy may help you to differentiate yourself from your competition, it will not help you fundamentally change the way you do business.

(5:52): Aspect number 5 - Create a game plan before you start implementing the strategy.

A plan gives you a clear picture of how you will reach your goals, and it helps prevent you from making poor decisions. If the plan is clear, then mistakes are less likely to be made, and you’ll be more likely to get the results you want. Once you have a plan, implement the strategy.

(7:11): Aspect number 6 - Make sure to consider your budget while implementing a strategy.

While an incredible business plan can propel you to success, having the right financial roadmap can ensure your success. Budgeting will help reduce your stress when implementing any new business strategy or change in work routine.

(8:22): Aspect number 7 - Consider the risks of implementing a change in strategy.

Every time you implement a new strategy, in any area of work or life, there's going to be some risk. So, before you implement a new strategy in your business, it's important to consider risk. Chances are that the payoff will be worth the risk - but sometimes not.

(9:14): Aspect number 8 - Make sure the new strategy is not too overwhelming and is realistic.

Every business must have a strong and clear strategy but if you want a new strategy to be successful, make sure it's not too demanding and it's attainable. If your new strategy is too demanding, it will not be attainable. If it's not attainable, you won't be able to follow it.

(10:55): Aspect number 9 - Set a cutoff point and know when to give up on a strategy.

When you're planning a new strategy, you also need to decide how long you'll wait before you give up. This is called your cutoff point. It's important to be realistic and objective about how much time and money you have available to try something new.

(12:02): Aspect number 10 - Be transparent with your customers about the new strategy.

As an entrepreneur, you never know when you might have to change your business direction. But it's important to hold off on implementing those changes until you have talked with the people who matter most in your business - your customers and clients.

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 10:30:24 -0700

Highlights:

(00:01)- But if we find ourselves spending more time, you know, chasing things that are not there, then we're taking time away from the customers that want to do business with us.

(0:15)- I also have a saying, and this is really the saying that was born in the Thursday night boardroom, and that is learn to teach, teach, to know, know, and share, and do with passion.

(0:28)- We all share the same frustration. Yeah, we don't feel understood.

(0:35)- The connection that you have with someone you know, feels that you understand them and get them and they're comfortable with you. Because if that's not established, all the messaging in the world won't matter.

(0:48)- I don't believe it's a game-changer. I believe it's an accelerant.

(0:51)- There is going to be no back to normal. There's going to be a new normal. Yeah. But and but you know what, we're going to also recognize human interaction.

(1:30) Introduction to Jeff Moore

Jeff is the director of seafood and business and business development at the Global Protein Group.

In 2019, Global Protein Group, the foodservice and custom products solution division of Porky products, was one of the largest traders of beef, beef, pork, and poultry in North America generated about $2 billion in sales.

Jeff is known for short-term, short-term sale cycles, the high comes convergence, value base, quantifiable Business Solutions, team building, and world-class lifelong customer and supplier relationships.

Jeff is an experienced leadership coach, Speaker F is also the creator of multi-layer Strategic Initiatives involving suppliers and customers in tandem, that share a common language called value.

Interview questions-

(3:38)

So can you tell us how you got started? What is your journey like in the business world?

(3:58) Jeff talks about how he started from making $300 a week. His family bought a seafood company and in 14-15 years they started making sales of 35 million. He shares that he was invited to the original Tony Robbins, the ultimate business mastery summit in about 2009. Jeff talks about the beginning of the ‘Thursday night boardroom’. He also recalls how watching Gary Vaynerchuk keynote at the ultimate business mastery summit changed their lives.

(11:08)

You keep pushing yourself. So what is that drive that pushes you?

(11:37) Jeff talks about what drives him and pushes him forward is the acknowledgment. He shares that doing what you love matters but acknowledging that there's going to be another level that matters the most. He is reminded of the best leader he has ever worked for and tells about a significant thing he said that made a huge impact on him. He said it's about wanting to get to another level.

(14:26)

You treat the business as an extension of life. Like most people say, Oh, you know, I'm going to a nine to five and I'm, I'm done but, you know, you like to complete the whole package and you encompass life and business and, and family. So tell us a little bit more about that. Where did that concept come from?

#224 The ultimate customer acquisition strategies

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 10:13:30 -0700

Show notes-

(0.26) How companies like Alibaba and Amazon acquire popularity-

Companies like Amazon, Alibaba have achieved massive scale. How did they acquire all those customers? How do they keep growing their customer base, and how do they get the customer to buy from them again, and again? Here’s how they do it-

(1.20) Point 1- They shorten the consumer shopping time.

These companies have realized that you'll be more likely to buy a product when it's convenient. So they use technologies like artificial intelligence, data mining, and machine learning to help them predict the products you'll like. They then make it very convenient for you to look at the product, select the product, and checkout.

(2.39) Point 2- They offer low price products along with convenience.

Companies like Amazon and Alibaba realize consumers are often driven by price. Price is one of the most important factors when it comes to consumer behavior. They realized that consumers are very price-conscious. So, they source from many different sources and present the best prices.

(3:38) Point 3- They make accurate product recommendations.

When recommending a product, Amazon and Alibaba take into account all aspects of a customer's profile to maximize the chance the customer will actually buy. Amazon and Alibaba use AI to make accurate product recommendations. They feed data into algorithms, and the algorithms return recommended products based on your profile, preferences, browsing history.

(5.40) Point 4- They can accurately predict the logistics and delivery dates.

Alibaba and Amazon have been using technology to integrate their own systems with third-party shippers like postal services. They have also started using their own shipping service. Amazon is investing in drone technology, which could be used to deliver products to our doorsteps.

(7.39) Point 5- They influence the consumers to connect with their brand.

Amazon and Alibaba know the importance of brand recognition. Amazon and Alibaba understand human psychology, consumer behavior, and they use their knowledge to influence consumers. Amazon and Alibaba use product variety and other consumer-friendly strategies to make people more connected to their brands.

(9:14) Why you should include AI in your planning and execution-

If you haven't looked into AI and other technologies to grow your customer base, you need to consider making changes today. I encourage you to include AI in your planning for your marketing strategy, business strategy, for operations when optimizing sales and optimizing pricing which can be optimized using the power of AI.

#222 Here Are 5 Crucial Tips On Engaging A Competent Management Consulting Company

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 04:17:52 -0700

Show Notes-

Hiring the right consultant at the right time can improve your business and help you save time and money.

So, how do you hire a consultant?

Over the years, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. When it comes to hiring a new marketer or business consultant for your organization, there are 5 questions you MUST ask in order to avoid costly mistakes.

01:04 Question one - ask to see their past projects

Ask about what type of clients they have had, what results they were able to achieve, and in what time frame were they able to achieve the results.

Because if they were able to increase sales by 10%, and it took them a decade, that is not going to help you. But if they were able to achieve that within a month, that is somebody you want to work with.

01:54 Question two - ask for past client testimonials

Ask for existing testimonials from previous clients. This will give you an idea of their expertise, of how other clients feel about the consulting services they provide, and whether or not they are worth hiring.

Many companies won't give out information on past clients unless they have had enough positive results with them.

02:37 Question three - Inquire about their processes

get clarity about the processes and capabilities of your consulting company and how compatible they are with your organization.

Because the last thing you want is for a consultant to come in and introduce something that will disrupt your team.

03:39 Question four - Let them ask the questions

Management consultants come in, present their solutions, and ask a lot of questions to you about your organization, your products and services.

But let me tell you a secret, let the consultants do more talking and let them ask more questions.

The idea is, you don't have to go to them with a fully formed problem. Let them ask questions of you, and then they'll formulate the problem around their understanding of what your needs are.

04:57 Question five - Figure out the ROI

You need to ask how you figure out what the return on your investment is going to be?

Once you have answers to the previous four questions, you should ask yourself if your investment can generate the right return. For instance, you should have a fair idea that if you invest $100, you can expect to get $500 back out of this engagement with the consultant.

Once you have the whole picture in front of you, go ahead, engage that consultant, get the return on your investment and save that time to move forward your organization as quickly as possible.

If you follow these simple steps, I am confident that you will be able to find the right candidate for the job and get better results.

#198 Be Mentally Strong | Overcome All Challenges| Anshar Seraphim | Manuj Aggarwal

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:31:53 -0700

Welcome to the 'Bootstrapping Your Dreams' Podcast. I'm Manuj Aggarwal and today I'll be having a candid conversation with Anshar Seraphim.

Anshar has worked in the legal sex work industry, training sex workers on how to apply psychological principles to their negotiations for full-service sex work. His negotiation training was responsible for increasing the gross sales of the top booking legal sex workers in the United States by over 300%, a success so significant he was invited to do training for all three properties and sales training for the girls at the Bunny Ranch, Kit Kat Ranch, and Sagebrush ranch. During his time there, one of the girls did a business of $1.15million dollars after his training and that's how he was made responsible for training everyone at different ranches as well.

The beginning of Anshar’s journey is very intriguing. It started when joining the US Navy, training for their Cryptography program, where he found out that he had undiagnosed autism that should have disqualified him for service after already becoming a sailor. With a heavy heart, he left his military career.

He went into information technology, and worked at his local college, developing his communication skills and working one on one with students. He tutored every subject, from calculus to electrical engineering to astronomy to organic chemistry, and used his systems knowledge to not only help those in academia but also work on his own personal development in his weakest area, dealing with people.

Anshar now does customized negotiation training as a consultant, public speaking events.

In this video, Anshar shares:

His life as a child. (2:32)

How he overcame all sorts of challenges to be where he is. (4:33)

Jim is an extraterrestrial robotics expert.

Jim has a proven track record of successful execution across diverse sectors and regions, both living and working in Europe, Africa, Russia, the Middle East, and North America.

When he was not able to secure funding for his ambitious projects - he decided to become a billionaire on his own and fund his ideas - which we can all admit are somewhat out there. No pun intended.

He has established engineering teams and full pipeline enterprise establishment from concept strategy, modeling, engineering requirements, design and implementation, capital raising and venture funding, corporation formation, and market penetration.

( 3:30 )Are there plans beyond sending humans to Mars?

(15:47) Why don’t humans take care of themselves on Earth itself rather than looking for

some other place to settle out in the universe?

#181 Do business and build Quality of Life | Steven Eugene Kuhn

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 13:17:14 -0700

Welcome to this new episode of Bootstrapping Your Dreams Show. I am Manuj Aggarwal and I will be talking with Steven Eugene Kuhn about how to do business while building Quality of Life.

Steven Kuhn has deep-rooted beliefs that building trust and rapport through a process he calls H.I.T. (Honesty, Integrity & Transparency). H.I.T. is the method in which Steven lives his life both professionally and personally. The interesting aspect is that living this way creates integrity on every level, it draws prospects and clients to naturally ascend your value ladder of product or service offerings. Because part of that value ladder is always their valued relationship with you, which is based on integrity and transforms each and every interaction into a prolonged relationship and not just a one-off business transaction. This allowed Stevens business to grow larger and larger. Almost as if by the law of compounding interest except in terms of “relational capital” instead of financial capital. And it is something that anyone can do. No extra cost or physical funnel-building to do. Just showing being human and treating others as we want to be treated; with Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency. Steven says that if business owners would do just this “One Thing” they would experience remarkable growth in their business and as individuals.

In this episode we will have a candid conversation with Steven Eugene Kuhn.

Steven speaks on:

Learnings and unlearning from the military experience.

Tips and tricks to sell through social media.

Generating an immediate impact on revenue.

The H.I.T method: Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency.

Making business and creating Quality of Life.

Building self-leadership.

Launching a business on your own.

The business of public speaking.

Amberly Lago started her public speaking career after her life was deeply altered and her world was completely changed in May 2010. While riding her motorcycle in Woodland Hills, California, she was hit by an SUV and thrown thirty feet down a busy street. Her right leg took the brunt of the impact and was crushed almost beyond repair. Despite an arduous recovery process, being a former professional dancer, athlete, and fitness trainer, she was determined to not only save her leg, but her career, her dreams, and her dignity. After a lengthy hospital stay and 34 surgeries, doctors were able to fuse her leg together and repair her severed femoral artery despite the one percent odds of saving it and the initial recommendation to amputate. Amberly is nowadays a well-known public speaker whose message is inspiring, relatable, and plenty of motivation and resilience.

Amberly Lago has become a best-selling author with her book “True Grit and Grace: Turning Tragedy into Triumph.” The book is evaluated with 4.8 stars out of 5 by amazon readers. Amberly has been applauded by several audiences for her conferences as well as for her book.

About Manny Wolfe

Manny Wolfe found himself living with a hooker, buying and selling drugs, and slowly rotting. Born in a hippie commune in Berkeley, California, during the notorious ‘Summer of Love,’ Emmanuel Wolfe’s childhood was marked by violence, brainwashing, drug abuse, and worst of all, no guidance. Drifting from place to place and job to job, unable to settle, living a life steadily becoming utterly out of control, he ended up a hopeless, homeless deadbeat, addicted to drink and drugs, on a dizzying downward spiral, smashing down to rock bottom. Emmanuel Wolfe was able to craft his life around. This story is nothing less than a testament to what can be achieved with the power of self-belief to create a better future.

However, in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one adverse event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt.

About Michael Green

Michael Green is a successful house flipper and the host of The Flip Factor, but at one point in time, this success was just a teenage boy's dream. At the age of fifteen, prompted by late-night infomercials, Michael bought the book No Money Down by Carlton Sheets, which planted the seed of eventually becoming a house flipper. However, the road to success was not always easy. Growing up next to the projects in Baltimore, Michael found himself getting into trouble, and his relationship with his dad was built on breaking the law. He started as a flooring installer, and in 2008, he was doing a job for a gentleman flipping houses named Jason Shara. Sensing his curiosity and interest in the industry, he invited Michael to a free meeting for house flippers. At this meeting, Michael was introduced to his first mentor. After just a few months of studying under his mentor, he made his first deal flipping a house for $16,000 without a single penny of his money. For the next year, he continued doing flips and made a total of $106,459, and in 2009 he was able to leave his full-time job and has been flipping houses ever since.

105 | Curing Worker’s Disengagement | Achieving Synergy | Learning And Unlearning For Success | Dr. Kevin Orieux

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 07:07:50 -0700

Manuj Aggarwal and Dr. Kevin Orieux discuss how disengagement is a social disease we can cure by taking care of our businesses.

What are you waiting for? Tune In Now!

In this episode, we will learn about:

· What disengagement is

· Why disengagement is a social disease and not only an economic problem

· Bringing recognition, appreciation, and promotion in your organization

· Typical mistakes entrepreneurs make

· Launching a business on their own

· Taking care of your workers, clients, and providers

· Learning and unlearning to succeed

· How to achieve synergy

About Dr. Kevin Orieux

Dr. Kevin Orieux (or "DocKO" as he is more affectionately known by his clients and coworkers) studied psychology and sociology at the undergrad level before achieving his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) in 1989. By combining the medical sciences with the social sciences, Dr. Orieux founded Aararat Consulting as an adjunct to his private practice clinical responsibilities in 1995. With this unique ability to operate on both sides of the scientific spectrum, Dr. Orieux has been asked to serve in numerous leadership roles in the private sector as well as leadership roles in education and healthcare at both the national and international levels. One of the biggest and certainly the most expensive problem facing business leaders and white-collared professionals, whether they be in IT, healthcare, engineering, or some form of the direct-to-client service industry, is how to defeat disengagement in the workforce. The more Dr. Orieux focused the resources of Aararat Consulting on this question the more this question became the central focus of Aararat Consulting's "raison d'etre" because this research demonstrated that what is commonly referred to as "disengagement" in the corporate world is what medicine would call an "epidemic" that has more socio-economic influence in today's global community than politics, fiscal policy, and technology combined.

Ryan Wright is the CEO of DoHardMoney.Com. Ryan started investing in real estate when he was a rookie.

Having come from a real estate investing background, he sought to provide a way for others to grow their real estate investing business by offering short term loans with no money down or monthly payments. The solution was dohardmoney.com, a private hard money company that provides short-term funding to real estate investors.

Ryan Wright studied Marketing and Management, Business at the University of Phoenix and Marketing, University of Utah.

Ryan Wright is the CEO of DoHardMoney.Com. Do Hard Money.com provides short term funding to real estate investors. They do this based on the equity in the property rather than the qualification of the borrower. They can fund within 48 hours (or less) and offer loans for up to 8 months with no payment for up to 5 months. They can also loan on Single Family Residential Homes. Ryan Wright is also the founder of www.mywrighthome.com, where he helps buyers purchase short term sales homes.

Accomplishments

Ryan Wright was named "Real Estate Rookie of the Year" by the Salt Lake Board of Realtors within his first year in the industry. Ryan has three publications to his name, "The Most Powerful Secrets In Getting Short Sales Approved," "7 Short Sale Myths and How To Overcome Them", and "How To Get All The Money You Could Ever Handle: A Real Estate Investor's Guide To Funding Deals." He has engaged in several speaker roles, including Bank of America.

Just a few months later, Zack would leave his day job and devote himself entirely to his passion. Today, Zack regularly travels all over the U.S. attending LinkedIn Local Networking Events. He has been sponsored by several brands to speak at conferences in Las Vegas, Dallas, Dubai, and South Africa.

His first video content announced him on YouTube, and since then, Zack has never looked back in becoming a well-known video marketing entrepreneur.

Fun facts

Zack indulges his passion for creating useful content for education, motivation, and brand-building purposes.

001 | Bootstrap your Career, With Manuj Aggarwal

manuj.aggarwal@gmail.com (Manuj Aggarwal) — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 22:48:01 -0800

My name is Manuj Aggarwal. I've been in this industry for about 20 years. And even though I have been awarded multiple patents in cutting it feels like machine learning even though I am teaching 90000 students across 190 countries. And even though I have interviewed more than 5000 engineers in my career.

The more demand the market had for these niche skills the higher the price because naturally the supply was limited along with the price or the salaries or contracting rates. There was also more job security because it was not easy to replace engineers with niche skills. I learned to bootstrap my career by getting into these niche and high demand areas of technology.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

How I started my Tech career
Challenges in my career
Niche skills
How to get your dream job
