Biggest Lessons Learned in 2020: Ed Maguire
Fast Forward: the Post-Pandemic Innovation Podcast
Part 4 of 4 interviews from our end-of-year event, The Pain and Triumphs of 2020: The Biggest Lessons We Learned This Year, where we asked guest speakers what their most profound lesson of 2020 was and how it changed their outlook on the future.
info_outlineWe’re kicking off the Fall, pumpkin spice season with a spicy conversation between Charlie and this week’s guest, Greg Larkin (best-Selling Author, This Might Get Me Fired, faculty at Singularity University, guest lecturer, Columbia Business School, and self-professed “innovation punk”).
Warning: this conversation might piss you off and get you fired! Charlie and Greg explore the boundaries of what it means to innovate within the confines of a restrictive system (like enterprise companies) and as an outlier, renegade entrepreneur disrupting old systems (pleasure, pain and everything in between). They discuss how the pandemic will shape the next era of disruptors and why it won’t be led by the atypical founders Silicon Valley still worships (young, college-drop out kids) and why companies will bleed the next generation of disruptive entrepreneurs from within their ranks over the next 5-10 years, during the greatest transfer of wealth in human history.
They touch on how their pre-Guilliani, New York City roots and Gen-X “chip on the shoulder” attitudes proved to be crucial ingredients in learning how to embrace non-conformity at an early age and how Greg used this advantage to make bold predictions (the 2008 housing market crash), build disruptive products, and help other would-be entrepreneurs to unleash their inner-badass.
‘Nuff said. Enjoy the show!
