Segment 1: We talk about how to transform your company and create a winning culture. My first guest says that it has to do with “the hero factor”, i.e. having the qualities of a hero. We’ll show you what that means in a business context and how you can adopt it in your company to take your business to the next level.

Segment 2: I thought that when the internet came out, we would be able to easily identify the truth, but I could not have been more wrong. With the internet, people can now find their own truth! As the Buddhists have said for a long time – there is no truth outside yourself…. We discuss how to do business in a post-truth economy and how can companies make their products or services trustworthy in a distrusting world.

Segment 3: I have been saying for a long time we need to niche down our businesses. A problem for many entrepreneurs is that they cast a wide net to capture any customer so they can get some revenue in the door and be busy, but success really lies in targeting one niche and owning it… we show you how.
