Full Show Notes

In this episode, the guys get retrospective into the past year of podcasting. Talking about lessons learned, mistakes made, successes and their plans for the future.

What is your definition of success? What is your plan to get there? After interviewing and talking with hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs there is one constant. No one has the same answer. We have different goals and metrics for success that make simplifying or turning success into easy formulas to follow a wasted effort. You have to start with knowing yourself, what you envision as success and then chart your course based on your strengths, skills, and talents.

The guys talked about Victorinox and how they faced an identity crisis as a company after 9-11 and the airlines no longer allowed people to travel with their swiss army knives. They needed to reinvent their company. There was a quote from the guy who ran the company that “We cannot think in terms of quarters, we have to think in terms of generations.”

“I think the feeling of wanting to be significant is simply a clever disguise on discontentment.” – Joe Woolworth

Neale Bayly shares about his upcoming project called the “Laverda Project”

It’s a project about fixing up an old Laverda bike and returning home to ride it where he grew up, spend time with friends and reconnect to his home. Rebuilding the bike is really phase one of the project. Phase two is doing a documentary about the process and then finally lead to a movie.
