    How Do I Measure The Right Things? Part 1

    It is one of the most often asked questions for Chris, Brad and Ian. How do I measure progress? Our funders demand metrics so that they can determine whether their dollars are being allocated and are meeting their stated goals. But are startup communities like businesses with clear goals and related metrics? Join Brad, Ian and Chris as we have a very interesting discussion with Rhett Morris of Common Good Labs and formerly of Endeavor Insights as we first talk about measurement concepts. Hosted on Acast.

  4. The Role of Government in a Startup Community

    The Role of Government in a Startup Community

    More and more today, startup communities are rising to the top of city, state, regional and federal governments’ priority list as they realize that entrepreneurial economic development is a necessary component of their future economy. With that good news comes the challenge of developing an engagement strategy with entrepreneurs, investors, existing entrepreneurial support organizations, local corporations and colleges. One thing we know for sure, do not treat the startup community like you would when building a highway, or a new building; activities that the government is good at but do not work for a more complex system like an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Join Brad, Ian and Chris along with Bala Kamallakharan of Iceland and Gonzalo Villaran of Lima, Peru as we discuss the role of government in a startup community. Hosted on Acast.

  5. The Illusion of Control

    2021/08/09

    The Illusion of Control

    Those of us who have been in business or government a long time develop fantastic muscles around strong management of which exhibiting a control over execution and outcomes is the standard fare. But startup communities are different and the very thing that you desire as a leader (a detailed plan, a flawless execution strategy and a clear set of goals) are the things that will hamper entrepreneurial growth. We call this the illusion of control and today we talk about the concept, why it is counter-productive, and share a different approach more conducive to entrepreneurs. Join Brad, Ian and I along with Ben Milne of Des Moines, Iowa and Bob Sopko of Cleveland, Ohio as we wrestle with this critical but touchy subject. Hosted on Acast.

  6. Why Are Networks A Better Community Structure Over a Hierarchy?

    2021/07/20

    Why Are Networks A Better Community Structure Over a Hierarchy?

    I know all of you know the concept of networking, but this version is different and like many concepts is best discussed when we have something to compare the concept to.  And that is hierarchy. For this podcast, we are talking about community structures ~ how the community is connected, how members interact and most importantly the rules of engagement the community abides by. Older, more traditional communities many times operate in a more hierarchical manner where permissions are needed and where older and/or powerful people serve as gatekeepers. So, what is a network structure and what is a hierarchical structure and how do they influence a startup community is today’s discussion. Join Brad, Ian and myself as we take a deep dive into Active Leadership with our guests, Connor Murphy from Dublin, Ireland and Rebecca Lovell from Seattle, Washington. Hosted on Acast.

  7. New Startup Community Leader? Be Active, Not Passive

    2021/06/25

    New Startup Community Leader? Be Active, Not Passive

    Some stand back and wait for the right time and way to engage.  Others take a more active approach.  Great startup communities have a group of leaders who help activate new activities and drive meaningful engagement. Can introverts be active leaders? Does active leadership require a stage and a large audience? Do you need permission to be a leader? You feel inspired - great - but what do I do first? What is it like to take an active leadership approach outside the US where culture and permissions and governmental oversight can be mitigating factors? Join Brad, Ian and myself as we take a deep dive into Active Leadership with our guests, Lesa Mitchell of Kansas City, Missouri and Gonzalo Villaran of Lima, Peru. Hosted on Acast.

  8. How Do I Cultivate a Sense of Topophilia and Why?

    2021/06/25

    How Do I Cultivate a Sense of Topophilia and Why?

    Brad and Ian introduce to many the word “topophilia” in The Startup Community Way.  The origin of topophilia is revealed and then we explain what it means with regards to your startup community. Secondly, what the heck does topophilia mean for you and me as a community leader.  We found two people, Crystal Vann Wallstrom of Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Ben Milne of Des Moines, Iowa to talk about their community and how they exhibit topophilia. Can events help drive a sense of Topophilia? What role does an innovation center play in creating or driving a sense of Topophilia? As always, Ian and Brad help interpret what they meant in the book and comment on Crystal and Ben’s stories as well as introduce the concept of “stewardship.” Hosted on Acast.
