    The Valley Current®: Why do all of us need Mind Magic?

    The Valley Current®: Why do all of us need Mind Magic?

    As we go through life, the people we meet imprint themselves onto us in unexpected ways. Whether these people were parents who created a chaotic childhood, medical personnel who provided you with support in times of crisis, or someone who was simply kind to you when they didn’t have to be, these people shaped the way we think and learn. Exchanging negative thoughts for positive self-affirmation affects the way we look at the world and plays an incredibly important role in shaping our future chances of success. Money, power and position are the three general markers of success, but do they really provide us with everything we need? Host Jack Russo and Dr James Doty discuss James’s new book Mind Magic which focuses on the science of manifestation and how it can be used to lead a better, kinder life.

    The Valley Current®: How is AI Accelerating Change Management?

    The Valley Current®: How is AI Accelerating Change Management?

    The biggest barrier to change has always been culture. When personal computers were new to the workplace, many employees stuffed their computer into a corner and treated it as furniture or viewed it as something for just the secretary to work with. Now it’s difficult to think of a job that doesn’t require any use of a computer. We’ve come a long way since then, but that just goes to show you that transformation rarely goes well in the workplace. In fact, most businesses are probably 50-75 years behind the times due to resisting change! The addition of AI is currently the biggest disruptor of company culture due to the massive number of layoffs affecting mostly white-collar jobs. Managers now need a little guidance on how to handle changing attitudes in the workplace. Today host Jack Russo and David White discuss the broader view of the workplace changing under AI.

    The Valley Current®: Who Really Sunk the Titanic and Who Will Sink Donald Trump?

    The Valley Current®: Who Really Sunk the Titanic and Who Will Sink Donald Trump?

    Could the Titanic have avoided the fatal iceberg and completed its maiden voyage? It possibly could have been avoided if Bruce Ismay (White Star Line chairman & managing director) hadn’t ignored Captain Smith’s warnings until it was too late. Situations like this are typically why capital and management are separated in an enterprise. So, what does this have to do with Donald Trump? When Ismay stood trial in both London and New York, he didn’t have much to say outside of a why me attitude while he shifted the blame. Today host Jack Russo and Francis Wilson discuss the similar no-remorse demeanors of Bruce Ismay and Donald Trump when they stand trial.

    The Valley Current®: Death and Taxes: Why Both Require Reporting

    The Valley Current®: Death and Taxes: Why Both Require Reporting

    Taxes may be the price we pay to live in a civilized society, but no one, no matter how wealthy they are, likes paying taxes. Many of us are guilty of procrastinating until the last possible moment to file taxes, possibly to the point where we completely forget and then pay a penalty on top of our taxes when we do remember. Even if we do remember, some of us simply refuse to pay and attempt to cover it up, hoping we don’t get caught. One of these happened to John Groggins, the former general counsel for Moody’s, who just admitted to failing to file taxes on $54M over the past 4 years. Today host Jack Russo and CPA, Steve Rabin debate the likelihood of the IRS’s complex tax code led to a major screw up, or if Groggins’ case is just a new case of tax evasion.

    The Valley Current®: Is A.I. Accelerating Entrepreneurship?

    The Valley Current®: Is A.I. Accelerating Entrepreneurship?

    The increasing availability of artificial intelligent companions is a significant turning point in the development of services. AI’s ability to quickly draft documents or instantly find and summarize research reports will be a major help for companies since they can increase productivity while cutting down on employees. The concern over job displacement remains a significant concern overall as the need for knowledge workers who perform simpler, more repetitive tasks declines. Can we expect these employees to change gears and jumpstart a new career in small business entrepreneurship? Host Jack Russo and Yon Chung discuss what the future of the workplace will look like under the adoption of AI.

    The Valley Current®: What Creates the Entrepreneurial Mindset?

    The Valley Current®: What Creates the Entrepreneurial Mindset?

    See a problem, solve a problem. This is a phrase many of us grew up hearing and can largely be considered the core of the entrepreneurial mindset. What sets an entrepreneur apart from your standard repair person is the intellectual curiosity to restructure and rebuild an entire process instead of patchwork. Bangladesh, conveniently settled between India and China, has a fast-growing economy thanks to a strong developer & freelance community, but is missing key pieces of a solid financial infrastructure. Today host Jack Russo meets Rubel Ahsan who is breaking Bangladesh away from foreign payment system dependency with Homepay, Bangladesh’s own domestic digital debit system.

Much more than law

Jack covers a wide range of topics, not all directly related to law or startups.

Worth while!

Knowledge and Info with a Heart

I’ve listened to several of these podcasts, and my interest lies within the startup culture. Jack Russo genuinely passes along good information, and humanizes the startup, invention, and legal processes. His guests are treated like friends, and the discussions cover insider notes that are not apparent to someone without a legal background. I have subscribed to the podcast, and look forward to more episodes. Thank you for providing relevant and future forward content!
