    The story of Vivace

    As you might know, a lot has changed for me (Joel) since I started making this show. My whole professional world -- heck my whole life -- has changed. In 2023, I started a new creative studio and consultancy called Vivace, teaming up with my long-time collaborator Ryan Sheppard. So, for this episode of Connection Request, we decided to do something a little different. The team thought it might be a good idea to share some of the lessons we've learned so far and put me in the hot seat for once. And Ryan. So, I'm handing the host mic over to another friend and collaborator Mimi Hayton. Together, we dive into the journey of building Vivace— the highs, lows, and in-betweens. We chat about the values that guide us, from prioritizing relationships over revenue to building a community to balancing personal life with professional ambition. And give a peek into what comes next for us. ABOUT THE SHOW Connection Request is a platform to explore ideas related to creative entrepreneurship, purpose, and the future of work.

    A deep dive on the rise of fractional work with John Arms

    Today on the show I’m talking to John Arms. He’s a Fractional CMO, Co-Founder of Voyageur University, and author of a new book called Revolt: The rise of fractional and the death of full-time. Or, as some folks in the fractional community like to call him, the Mayor of Frackville. In today’s conversation, we dive deep into the world and movement known as Fractional. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, a fractional executive refers to someone occupying a permanent leadership seat in a company in a fraction of the time thought necessary. In our conversation, John walks us through the basics of the fractional movement - how it differs from consulting, what kind of professions its for, characteristics of someone who is a good fit for fractional, and what it really looks like day-to-day to be part of this world. We also talk about some of the megatrends that got us to this point – all the way back to 1970, Milton Friedman, and shareholder economics, through to the Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and the rise of the Fractional economy. I’ve gotta say, the picture John paints of the future is a really exciting one. If you’re interested in learning more about the world of Fractional, I highly recommend you go grab a copy of his book (link below). 📕 John's book, Revolt: The Rise of Fractional and the Death of Full-Time -- https://bit.ly/4a8IFNF Fill out our listener survey to help us make the show better: https://forms.gle/myjg43kAGg2tv8vE7 New episodes released every Thursday, right here on YouTube, or wherever you get podcasts. ☕️ Season 2 is presented by SK Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster, based in Minnesota, shipping worldwide.

    Catching a vibe with Gathered in Style’s Kristin Mitchell

    Today on the show, I’m talking to Kristin Mitchell, the founder and creative director of Gathered in Style, a boutique event planning business based in New York City. Kristin is a magician when it comes to events. You might call her an event scientist.  If you were to scroll through her Instagram page, you’d see a K-pop themed birthday party, an elevated state fair soiree, a private dinner in a small grocery store, a pasta pool party, and my new favorite thing – a churro umbrella.  We talk about Kristin’s career journey, from planning high profile events like Reuters Newsmakers and client events at the Aspen Ideas Festival and the Super Bowl - to going off on her own to start her own business. We also trade stories of both of our experiences at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC, including the time NFL linebacker Von Miller stood me up at the airport. Kristin shares some excellent advice on what she’s learned running her own business and creating a brand from scratch, as well as practical tips for anyone who’s looking to take their next gathering to the next level. She also shares her philosophy on why we should celebrate everything, how to catch a vibe, and how she learned to love business. And her love for accountants.

    Minnesota’s COVID-19 response architect Kris Ehresmann makes the case for public health

    Today on the show, I’m chatting to Kris Ehresmann, the architect of Minnesota’s COVID-19 pandemic response, and the former long-time director of the Infectious Disease Division of the Minnesota Department of Health.  Kris spent more than 30 years of service in public health before retiring, and played key roles in many public health issues both in Minnesota and nationally. Minnesota leaders have called her “an extraordinary public servant”, a “true leader”, and responsible for cultivating “a new generation of talented public health leaders.”  We talk about what she learned during the global pandemic, a time she describes as being a frog in a pot of boiling water. We also talk about other outbreaks during her career, why public health is linked to social justice, as well as what public health has taught her about the world. She also details the biggest learning experience of her career and how the pandemic taught her how to swear. And, she describes some of the immense challenges of the politicization of public health and public service, and what she’s been up to since retiring.  New episodes released every Thursday wherever you get podcasts.  ☕️ Season 2 is presented by SK Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster, based in Minnesota, shipping worldwide.

    What the Gates Foundation’s education advisor sees for the future of learning, labor, and the knowledge economy

    Today on the show I’m talking to Dale Whittaker. He’s a Senior Advisor at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and has spent his career working in academia at institutions including Texas A&M, Purdue University, and the University of Central Florida. He’s also a watercolor artist and plays a mean harmonica.  I wanted to pick Dale’s brain on the state of higher education around the world, both from his perch inside institutions, and now outside as part of the Gates Foundation. We talk about how education relates to careers today, how artificial intelligence will impact the future of learning, and how education remains one of the strongest levers and predictors of economic mobility. We also dig into some of the various alternative learning movements, like coding bootcamps and Google certifications, and unpack the real value of higher education today.  Dale also tells the story of his time as president of the University of Central Florida, which ended in a very public battle with Ron Desantis and the Florida legislature. I’m grateful to him for being so open about that journey and what he learned from a traumatic period in his career journey. I also of course ask him for his thoughts on Desantis’s prospects for the presidency.

    Restaurateur Tim Niver on navigating the ever-changing business of food

    Today on the show I’m talking to Tim Niver, the restaurateur behind beloved Minnesota restaurants Mucci’s Italian and Saint Dinette, owner of Mucci’s Frozen Food, and host of Niver Niver Land, a podcast about the changing restaurant industry. Tim has worked in restaurants for a long time, working here in Minnesota, as well as New York, Colorado, and a stint in Las Vegas opening up the Bellagio. I’ve long been a fan of Tim’s as we chat about in today's conversation. I especially appreciate how open he is about the ups and downs of his industry, through his podcast, social media, and interviews he does with the media. He displays that openness and vulnerability in our conversation as we talk about what success looks like in his field, what he’s learned from going through the pandemic, and how the restaurant industry is still changing dramatically today. We also chat about his multiple business and creative adventures, going toe to toe with Muhammad Ali, and his dream guest for Niver Niver Land.
