EP 87: Raising Resilience, Emotional Resilience in a Snowflake Generation with Brooks Gibbs

The anti-bullying movement has been full throttle for 18 years since Columbine shooting in 1999. The efforts to stop students from becoming victims of bullying have been solely focused on changing the world around the victim to create a less hostile environment. This has failed.

Brooks Gibbs has flipped the approach to bullying and empowers victims to be emotionally resilient so they are not hurt in the first place. This is a simple solution to a complex problem and the only approach that can keep children from killing themselves or others in retaliation. 

So we will be contrasting a direct versus indirect approach to help kids. A legal versus psychological approach.

EP 82: What is The Experience Economy? with business provocateur Joseph Pine II

On this week’s show, we discuss how goods and services are no longer enough. How competing on price alone will kill your business.

We discuss how we need to move beyond designing the thing to designing the experience of the thing.

We discuss how business is a theatre and how employees should be cast members. How employees shift from task mindset to experience mindset, it is no longer about a task but how the task is done.

We discuss how staging experience means the customer is the products and how merchandise is part of the experience and not the product at all.

Joe paints a picture of the landscape and we differentiate Commodities /Goods /Services /Experiences.
