054 | Real People Do Real Things, So What You Here For?

It's longer than I would like - but as you'll see - it could be a lot longer.

I am joined this week by a long time associate and business colleague, Mark Roman, who is not just an absolute mine of information, he is here to share it with you.

Mark is not just a Fortune 50 Executive, having founded several companies in his career, he is also a best selling author, with a second book on the way which we talk about on the show.

We talk about

  • A new book he is writing, where he is collating and curating interviews with 400 experts from across the globe on raising money and funding your business.

  • Health care and the business of health.

  • Childhood, love, caring and about what it means to be rich (though not in the way you might be thinking.)

  • How ‘Business moves at the speed of trust’ - but also that ‘Business is Personal’.

And that was just the start - because at the end of the show, you discover that it is not the end of the show at all. We move on - but you’ll have to wait for that until the next episode!

Quote of the day:

"People matter in business and personal relationships, people get work done, not machines, not 'bots', 'software agents' or 'AI algorithms'. These are all just tools. People get the business done."

People First - All Else Follows
You might be a leader in a large corporation, fresh into the workforce or with 30 years under your belt. Or maybe you are a small business owner or entrepreneur. Whichever it is … you are good at what you do. You feel safe, but keep wondering how long you have before what you do is automated, outsourced, off-shored, replaced or just made obsolete. It will happen. Nothing stands still! Your options are to stay the course, leave for another opportunity or do your own thing. All of them require transformation.
I worked in Silicon Valley for over 30 years. You only succeed in that environment by continual transformation. Through conversation and interviews, I will share lessons, stories and case studies that will help you understand how real people at work and play balance priorities every day to make a living and provide the best life possible for themselves and those around them all there while with an eye on the future.
At the very least I am going to make you think.
