In Episode #013 of CrisisCast 2020 | Chris Colbert
Today on CrisisCast 2020... An innovator, business leader, author, and international speaker. Chris Colbert talks about why what was socially unacceptable last month is fine now. A hope for a new minimum wage, intimacy, finding the upside, fun in the kitchen, the power of a blank piece of paper, and learning to embrace the value of moments in time. Enjoy this therapeutic conversation.
My Guest:
Chris Colbert has helped build and run several domestic and international companies focused on innovation and business optimization. After leading a bold revamp of Scholastic’s core publishing business and its return to positive growth, he left in early 2014 to explore the world of higher education and innovations that might help improve its price/value. That led him to the Harvard Innovation Labs, where he served as Managing Director for four years. In 2019 he left to found one-eighty, a global innovation firm focused on helping countries and companies better compete by creating adaptive learning systems that yield cultures of innovation. He is first and foremost an innovator, capable of finding simple solutions to complex problems while painting a compelling picture for any organization of its unrealized potential.
Chris is an author, recently publishing This Is It, a provocative treatise on how to take advantage of the only life we get, as well as an inspirational speaker and a strategic advisor to several CEOs and their executive teams. He received a BA from Connecticut College, an International MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business and sits on several boards including Pillar Venture Capital, Now + There, Fintech Americas, Nilus, and the Copenhagen Fintech Global Advisory Board.

Preparing Innovators To Change The World with Erin Baker
In Episode #012 of CrisisCast 2020 | Erin Baker
Today on CrisisCast 2020 Erin Baker has locked herself at home in Michigan since coming back from Mexico 30 days ago. As a coach with a scientific and corporate background Erin works with clients on their mindset and helps them prepare for their next act so they can make an impact. In our chat today, Erin reflects on past personal crisis and how she is drawing strength from those experiences. While fully acknowledging the seriousness of the state of the world today, Erin also brings so much infectious energy and (if it’s not too much of an oxymoron) tangible hope for the future.
My Guest:
My clients are visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, and coaches who are ready to launch their next act - a startup, business, innovative product or service, or career - and make a difference in the world. They have a track record of success, nail every challenge that they take on, and on paper are a paragon of success. But they often find themselves... • Bored or burned out. They feel disconnected and out of touch with what really matters. • Feeling like something is missing. They wonder “is there something more than this?” • Noticing that the rush of achievement wears off quickly, and immediately asking “what’s next?” • Wanting to do something different, but despite their track record of success, are terrified that *this* time they will fail. • Wanting to make a more meaningful impact on the world, but unsure of where to start. Or they have an idea, but ask themselves “who am I to do that?” • With very few, if any, people they can talk with about this. If any of this rings true for you, you are not alone. Through my work, I have discovered that some of the most successful people in the world are bored, burned out, or disillusioned with the impact they are having on the world. Many people continue on, changing nothing, living in a world of what they *should* be doing rather than what they *want.*

- Finding strength through past traumas
- Why ignoring the online masses is a good thing
- What to do if this crisis has led to you longing to take your next step

Peak Performance = Refinement and Flexibility with Dov Gordon
Today on CrisisCast2020 - An American living in Israel... Dov Gordon is a great man. He’s a Husband. A Father of 6, and a deep caring entrepreneur.
He’s taught me a lot about relationships and without him, I doubt this podcast would have happened. So... I’m happy to share him with you today. In this chat.. he talks about his personal preference for mastery over charisma, what probably won’t happen if you double your income during the pandemic and... also attempts to answer the question... What is love?
My Guest:
Dov Gordon helps consultants and experts get ideal clients. Consistently.
There are millions and millions of consultant/coaches who are really good at what they do. But they're not charismatic guru types. And they never want to be.
They LOVE their work. And all they want is a consistent flow of great clients. Clients who value their expertise, AND who value who they are as people. And pay them well for it.
Dov and his small team take a tactic-agnostic approach. They help you build a strong strategic foundation and to apply to it to build a simple, client-getting system that is best for YOU.
Dov has been a guest on The Art of Charm, John Jantch's Duct Tape Marketing podcast, Jeff Goins's podcast and dozens of others.
Discover...
- Why Dov’s principles of marketing stand up today
- The four types of relationships you need
- Why it’s all about love
