G’day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome back to Beyond the Black Stump the podcast that aims to help you identify and eliminate the limitations we place on ourselves and our thinking. Where each week you have an opportunity to learn from everyday thought leaders - practitioners just like you.
This is a milestone for the show - Episode 10. This is also the show where I get to practice what I preach and move myself out of my comfort zone. For the first time I have two guests on the show - and that was a bit uncomfortable with both the technology and managing the three-way conversation.
Also it is the first time I went into a interview knowing it was going to be split into two episodes of the show.
You see, we don’t script these interviews. The guests get some generic questions that I might ask in their invitation - but other than that they do not know what I am actually going to ask. That gets doubly uncomfortable with two guests!
This week we are also talking about uncomfortable ideas - soft skills, thinking and intellectual critique. But overall it was a fun conversation, I hope you enjoy it too.
My guests are either a couple of revolutionaries, or perhaps simply mis-understood followers of Charles Darwin. In recent weeks they have launched something called the Continuity 2.0 Manifesto. If you haven’t read it, then you should.
Next week we will delve into the detail of their manifesto, but first lets try to understand what these guys are thinking and why. Come with me as we explore their journey to date, and the influences and ideas that have shaped the thinking of David Lindstedt and Mark Armour.
Hopefully it gives you a flavour of where David and Mark are coming from. This is not something they just dreamed up, it is derived from their hands-on experience doing this work - and reading and debating ideas.
Join me next week when we dive into the detail of their Continuity 2.0 Manifesto.
As always if you enjoy the show I would really appreciate it if you took the time to leave a rating and review on iTunes. This week the show is rated #72 in "New and Noteworthy” in the Management and Marketing sub-category on iTunes. A review in iTunes and sharing the subscription details with your colleagues, even downloading the episodes you have not listened to yet, would go a long way to boosting the show up the charts.
