Published on 11 Apr 2017. Ben & David transcend the barriers of “real” reality, and dive into Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg’s geek-eutpoia vision of the future of gaming, social, and maybe even the entire internet: strapping goofy-looking goggles to your face. Is VR for real this time or are we living through another Virtual Boy moment? Tune in to find out! Topics covered include: * Oculus’s origins in 2010 as a twinkle in the eye of the then-17 year old VR wunderkind, Palmer Luckey, who started by prototyping VR headsets in his parents’ garage in Southern California * Palmer’s time interning at USC's Institute for Creative Technologies, and chronicling of his own VR efforts in the Meant to be Seen 3D internet forums * Legendary game developer John Carmack’s own interest in virtual reality, his intersection with Palmer on the MTBS3D forums, and how he acquired and popularized one of Palmer's first early prototypes of the Oculus Rift (which was literally held together with duct tape!) by demonstrating it onstage at E3 2012 * How former Scaleform cofounders Brendan Iribe and Michael Antonov teamed up with Palmer after E3 to create the company Oculus VR * The newly-formed Oculus’s wildly successful August 2012 Kickstarter campaign, including video endorsements from both Carmack and Valve founder Gabe Newell * Oculus’s subsequent venture capital fundraisings, and catching the attention of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg * Facebook’s acquisition of the company in March 2014 for $2.3B * The Zenimax lawsuit filed against Oculus and Facebook following the acquisition * Valve (home of the most incredible company handbook of all-time) and Gabe Newell’s subsequent pivot from supporting Oculus to launching their own competing VR efforts with the Vive * Team changes at Oculus post-acquisition Followups: * SNAP: still a public company Hot Takes: * Intel’s $15B acquisition of Mobileye (with reference to Ben Thompson’s analysis of the deal and Smiling Curves) The Carve Out: * Ben: Kara Swisher interviews the Pod Save America team at SXSW * David: Adam Gopnik asks Are Liberals on the Wrong Side of History?

Published on 02 Mar 2018. We all know that the days of a leader hiding out in their ivory tower are over.
The outstanding leaders of today understand that a huge part of leadership is Influence, and if you can’t get your people to follow and be loyal, you are going to struggle to influence them to execute at the highest possible level.
So what does it take to build that kind of loyalty, to build an army of loyal followers who will be there for you through think and thin?

In 1989, Rick Barker was living homeless on the streets of Los Angeles, addicted to Crack Cocaine.
Fifteen years later, he launched the career of one of the biggest music stars in the world: Taylor Swift.
Now 50 years old and 25 years sober, the motto he lives by is,
"Your past does not dictate your future."
He strives to teach artists to look at themselves as the businesses they are.
Business’s that they must lead.
With major changes in the music industry and digital world, artists today have the ability to build an audience and get their music heard like never before. The game of music has changed, but so has the game of business and leadership. The Question is: Are you changing with it?

Published on 13 Feb 2018. 5 Tips to Be Successful with B2B Email Marketing
Why do so many industrial and B2B companies fail with email marketing? In my opinion, it’s because they do not understand the proper role of email in the B2B marketing mix.
All too often, companies make the mistake of treating email as a prospecting tool — sending unsolicited emails to people they don’t know, about products that are of no interest to them. In other words, they are spammers. Another shortcoming occurs when companies use broadcast email only as a sales tool — blasting offers and promotions to customers, often in a non-targeted way. While this may produce a few sales hits here and there, it’s not the best way to build relationships with customers. To be truly successful with email marketing, think of email as a nurturing tool — a tool for growing and strengthening existing relationships with customers and prospects who have reached out to you. One of the best ways to nurture relationships with email is by producing an educational email newsletter. Email marketing with a monthly e-newsletter offers you an opportunity to build an ongoing, interactive dialogue with your B2B customers and prospects in a measurable, cost-effective way. Not only can an e-newsletter demonstrate value to your customers, but also it can change your customers’ perception of your business.
By sending timely articles that solve current business problems, you show your customers that you understand them and their needs. This repeatedly reinforces their importance to you and builds their trust in your company. To ensure your email newsletter is a successful business-building tool, I recommend you leverage the following five best practices.
1. ASK PERMISSION AND DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD
The key to effective email marketing lies in a notion known as “permission marketing.” Your email newsletter should build goodwill with your customers, not annoy them. Therefore, you should obtain permission from your customers and prospects before adding them to your email marketing mailing list. Make sure you have an obvious email signup form on your every page of your Website.
Also, any time you speak with a customer or prospect, let them know about the value they will get from your email newsletter and ask permission to add them to your list.
2. CREATE RELEVANT, CUSTOMER-FOCUSED CONTENT
Your email newsletter is not for you – it’s for your customers. You need to focus less on your company and more on the issues and ideas your customers are interested in. I like articles that focus on “how to” tips, best practices and actionable strategies. To help get you started, the following are examples of customer-focused email newsletter content:
Problems and solutions — Identify common problems your customers face and provide ideas on how to solve them.
Lists and tips — Provide actionable lists and tips with titles that begin like “Seven Steps to…” or “The Top Five Ways to…”
Technological developments — Inform your customers on how they can take advantage of recent technological developments to be more effective.
Industry news and trends — Write about new developments in your industry that your customers can take advantage of.
Case studies — Write case studies of how others have improved their operations. Make sure to include actionable details your customers can put to work to produce results.
Make sure your articles are short and scannable. The best email newsletter -

Despite a dreadful childhood growing up in the Republic of Rhodesia, super entrepreneur Joe Duran has built not just one but two multi-billion dollar investment advisory firms. And along the way he had time to write three books including one that became a New York Times bestseller. Here’s an example of the type of advice you’ll hear from Joe, “The more important you are to the business, the less valuable the business is.” In this insightful conversation, Joe shares the principles he used to build his businesses, how he spots trends that he rides to millions in riches, and the story behind the Albert Einstein quote that has driven everything he has done in his life.

Published on 09 Nov 2014. How to Disrupt an Industry - The Age of working Differently.
The Elance Story with Fabio Rosati
It’s not every day you change the way the world works. But with Elance, Fabio Rosati did just this, altering the way global labor markets operate for the foreseeable future. It’s no small task, but by providing an easy and secure way for businesses to find, hire, manage and pay freelancers, Elance’s online staffing platform has revolutionized the freelancing economy.

A thought leader on work, the freelance economy and online staffing, Rosati’s views on the burgeoning online labor market have appeared in publications including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Inc., and The New York Times.

Published on 30 Sep 2015. Tony Robbins talks fast. Conversing with him is like riding Space Mountain: You get in, you hang on, and before you know it, it’s over and you’re left feeling bewildered, slightly euphoric, and wanting to smooth your hair.
Robbins has become a household name as the man who popularized life coaching. Imagine your client list including Oprah, Princess Diana, and Bill Clinton—all before you hit your mid- 30s. He’s spoken to more than 50 million people in 100 countries. To call Tony Robbins just a self-help guru would be like calling Muhammad Ali just a boxer. It doesn’t quite cut it. He is a force of nature, an industry, and a global brand. His advice is still sought by the likes of professional athletes, CEOs, movie stars, rappers and world leaders.
When Foundr interrupted Robbins’ schedule for an interview, he was 40 miles from the Arctic Circle, racing Lamborghinis across a frozen ice lake. As you do. “I was eaten up by my crazy schedule, going to 15 countries a year, so I decided, ‘I’m going to find a little time to play,’ and this was on my list. So it’s nice to be able to experience it.”
It’s a fitting vacation. Robbins is best known for his high-intensity seminars. To say he’s bursting with enthusiasm is an understatement. It seems as though he’s sitting atop an erupting volcano of energy and optimism. His voice is booming, with its trademark rasp. He makes each point with the force of an artillery bombardment.
In this interview you will learn:
How to deduce your market to the metrics that matter
The steps you need to take in order to be financially free
Turning past pain into pure motivation and a hunger for success
Tony's ethos in living for impact, and how the money will follow
How to serve your client in the best possible way
