    #018: Free Private Cities – Why Governments Are Obsolete Relics of the Past /w Dr. Titus Gebel

    This episode talks to Dr. Titus Gebel about how Free Private Cities could fundamentally change the way we view government as a whole and force governments to compete for their citizens. We also explore why the structure of government hasn’t changed much throughout history and why democratic welfare states eventually all decline and create social unrest among their societies.
    We cover some of the following topics:
    What “Free Private Cities” are, and how they differ from “Special Economic Zones” and other similar modelsHistoric and successful examples of Free Private Cities and why they didn’t prevailWhy the structure of government hasn’t changed much throughout history and why moving to another country isn’t always a viable optionIf Free Private Cities have a majority appealHow and why democracies around the world have been failing usWhy do democratic welfare states eventually all decline and create social unrest among their societiesWhy do small countries with a limited government and countries with little social structures tend to be more hospitable and have more tight-knit communitiesReal-life examples of Free Private Cities from around the world along with their biggest challengesHow social welfare, education, taxes, crime, and other issues would be handled in Free Private City

    #017: How Autonomy & Insubordination Made Sweden’s Army War Heros /w Tony Ingesson

    #017: How Autonomy & Insubordination Made Sweden’s Army War Heros /w Tony Ingesson

    In this episode, I talk to Tony Ingesson about why the Swedish army was viewed as trigger-happy and insubordinate during the Bosnia war and was celebrated as war heroes, whereas the very disciplined and professional Dutch army forced the entire Dutch government to ultimately resign.
    We cover some of the following topics:
    Why other countries and politicians viewed the Swedish army as a bunch of trigger-happy and insubordinate mavericks during the Bosnia warHow their actions and maverick attitude led them to save over 200 civilian livesWhy the actions of the very disciplined and professional Dutch army lead the entire Dutch government to resign and the insubordinate Swedish army to be viewed as war heroesWhere the insubordinate behavior of the Swedish army originated from and how the Swedish military culture of mission command differs from that of other armiesWhy a high degree of autonomy makes sense for certain scenarios and unitsHow decisions are made in the military and what types of leadership styles are used for which unitsWhy the UN didn’t allow the peacekeeping soldiers to shoot back, despite being attacked and tasked with protecting civilians

    #016: How Microsoft Felt Threatened by a Small Innovative Browser Company /w Jón S. von Tetzchner

    In this episode, I talk to industry legend Jon von Tetzchner about what it takes to compete in crowded markets. And we also explore how Microsoft felt threatened in its market dominance by his browser company and ultimately resorted to unethical business practices.

    Why Microsoft became afraid of a small Norwegian browser startup that challenged its market dominance and resorted to unethical business practices,How Opera mobile was able to capture almost 80% market share,What made the Opera and now the Vivaldi browser so unique,The way Opera experimented with new business models,How a company can continue to add innovative features to its product without killing the usability or turning it into a product that nobody wants to use,How to create and foster high-performing teams,Why almost all browsers can be traced back to a single origin,How, despite the seemingly endless browsers out there today, there‘s actually very little choice and competition for end-users,Why browsers are some of the most complex pieces of software out there.

    #013: How Vacuum Panels Are Already the Best Insulator for the Next Century /w Dr. Joachim Kuhn

    In today‘s episode, I talk to Dr. Joachim Kuhn who is the CEO and founder of va-Q-tec - a very innovative company that produces highly efficient and space-saving vacuum panels that insulate 10 times better than traditional insulators and will remain the best insulation material for the century.
    va-Q-tec has won the TOP 100 innovator award, has been the National Champion at the "European Business Awards" multiple times, and made it into the TOP 10 of the GreenTec awards, along with so many other awards and recognitions that it would seriously take a half an hour to name them all.
     
    In this episode I talk to Dr. Joachim Kuhn and explore:
    What vacuum insulated panels are and what they can be used for,What makes them so special, along with some of their properties,Why a vacuum is such a good insulator that it will be the best insulator for the next 100-150 years,How do common insulators such as styrofoam perform against vacuum panels (spoiler alert: it‘s staggering)?Some of the challenges he faces with his innovative vacuum panels,How his product stakes up against the competition and how he‘s able to compete against Asian manufacturers, despite there being much cheaper,The steps his company is currently taking to make these panels much more affordable and available for more customer applications,How he decides which market to enter next, when the potential of his product is so vast,Why he didn‘t take his successful company to Silicon Valley, but instead stayed in Germany,What he recommends companies do to bring their breakthrough innovation to market,and so much more.
