We speak with Andrew Keen, the pioneer of calling into question the impact of technology and the resulting new business models on society. He has been called a luddite and a technological Antichrist for calling out such concerns. Today, no-one calls him that today.

Andrew looks at how humanity has overcome huge change in the past and how we can use what we have learned in the past to fix the future. We explore: Legal regulation, where innovation and regulation are symbiotic. Andrew discusses some of the exemplars of regulation and how we can learn from them. We also discuss governments driving change such as Estonia, Singapore and even China. Innovators and innovation diving change The role of consumers and social responsibility, where consumers shape society with their needs. Philanthropists, non-profits and committed change makers like Edward Snowden. Education and our roles as parents, teachers and educators of every kind.

The anti-bullying movement has been full throttle for 18 years since Columbine shooting in 1999. The efforts to stop students from becoming victims of bullying have been solely focused on changing the world around the victim to create a less hostile environment. This has failed. Brooks Gibbs has flipped the approach to bullying and empowers victims to be emotionally resilient so they are not hurt in the first place. This is a simple solution to a complex problem and the only approach that can keep children from killing themselves or others in retaliation. So we will be contrasting a direct versus indirect approach to help kids. A legal versus psychological approach.

On this week’s show, we discuss how goods and services are no longer enough. How competing on price alone will kill your business. We discuss how we need to move beyond designing the thing to designing the experience of the thing. We discuss how business is a theatre and how employees should be cast members. How employees shift from task mindset to experience mindset, it is no longer about a task but how the task is done. We discuss how staging experience means the customer is the products and how merchandise is part of the experience and not the product at all. Joe paints a picture of the landscape and we differentiate Commodities /Goods /Services /Experiences.

Jeff Kreisler is the co-Author of the awesome "Dollars And Sense: How We Misthink Money and How To Spend Smarter" with Dan Ariely. In a world where people are talking about crypto and digital currencies, we look at the real psychology of money and why and how we spend it. Jeff Kreisler and Dan Ariely brilliantly give us some great pointers on how we can avoid the many pitfalls and psychological traps behind our spending habits and behaviours. Money is the top reason for divorce, the number one cause of stress for people and we are demonstrably worse at all kinds of problem-solving when we have money problems on our minds. Money has changed the human condition as much as any other advance—as much as the printing press, the wheel, electricity, and al the tech advances we are now seeing We look at several of the biases and forces at play behind our financial choices and lack thereof, we discuss the following: Opportunity cost neglect and Alternatives We absolutely must, consciously or not, consider opportunity costs every time we use money. We should consider the alternatives we are giving up by choosing to spend money now. The endowment effect, The Ikea effect, Loss Aversion Emotional Accounting; Anchoring Gateway Drugs Virtual Ownership Retirement savings Fairness and effort, Anchoring, Payments, Frictionless. Painless. Thoughtless, The pain of paying, Language and how it affects what we pay. More about Jeff and where to find his books and his speaking opportunities here: http://www.jeffkreisler.com/
