Timbo Talks About Mushrooms

I love fungus. What other organism enables you to be a farmer with only a plastic bucket, spent coffee grounds, and leftover Weet-Bix? In this episode of 'Timbo Talks' I discuss why I have embraced the tasty fungal kingdom.

Curate Your Own Museum

I recorded this episode of 'Timbo Talks' after I finished curating my 45-hour long 1990s Spotify playlist. The experience of carefully selecting 600+ songs impressed on me why I should not let algorithms curate my life. SHOW NOTES: — Timbo's 1990s Spotify Playlist (curated by me from the last great decade for music) — Modern Media Is a DoS Attack on Your Free Will (interview with James Williams) — App 'Happiness' Ratings from the Center for Human Technology — Why the modern world is bad for your brain (includes marijuana reference)

What Makes Effective Thought Leadership?

Who is better placed to make an emotional connection with a human being – a logo or a person? My vote is for person. Therefore, Thought Leadership – placing a human face on your business – makes sense to me. People want to connect with people! Unfortunately, most Thought Leadership in business-to-business (B2B) marketing sounds like it comes from pushy robots. In my latest podcast episode, I share the ingredients of effective B2B Thought Leadership (and help you avoid the robot curse!)* SHOW NOTES: — The importance of emotion in B2B marketing (includes reference to research from Les Binet and Peter Field) — 2020 Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact Study *This podcast episode was inspired by a talk I gave on Tuesday, 16 March 2021, entitled 'How thought leadership influences your customer ecosystem' as part of Digivizer's 'Building B2B Sales Pipeline Through Digital' webinar.

Why Motivation Only Takes You So Far

Motivation is not what it's cracked up to be. Especially for a self-confessed lazy person like myself. Curiosity is a lot more potent and it will take you much further. More in my new podcast episode. SHOW NOTES — My detailed account of my long-ass walk along Stockton Beach — Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins

Timbo Talks to Oscar Venhuis About Creativity

"When you have a creative mind, you are never bored." My podcast guest, Oscar Venhuis dropped that gem in our conversation. Oscar is the CEO of EQ Lab in Hong Kong and he is deeply interested in "extending the intelligence" of organizations. Oscar and I talk about the great mystery that is creativity. We also discuss how organizations fool themselves when they claim to build diversity while pursuing consensus above all else. Show Notes – Arne Dietrich, the Professor of Psychology at the American University of Beirut (referenced by Oscar during our discussion) – Oscar Venhuis on LinkedIn – EQ Lab (one of Oscar's many interesting pursuits) – My previous podcast episode about why it is difficult to hire creative people
