73. Scale, Mess And Debt

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/09/24

Scaling a business is an awesome topic, cleaning up the mess and paying back the debt from scaling is not. This is a tricky thing to balance. Most entrepreneurs get it wrong. If you don't grow fast, a competitor might overtake you —but— grow too fast and you'll make a mess and accumulate too much debt for the company to get out of. Finding the perfect balance between these two extremes is an art-form that lies at the core of an entrepreneur's ability. This podcast teaches you how to think about

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/08/27

Do you get distracted by shiny objects? Always looking for something new to replace the thing that was new yesterday? (yes, you're crazy). At its core, shiny object syndrome (SOS) is a disease of distraction, and it affects entrepreneurs specifically because of the qualities that make them unique: High motivation, crave new technology, new developments, and no fear of starting new things. It's called shiny object syndrome because it's the entrepreneurial equivalent of a small child chasing after

63. How To Play With Chaos (4 Laws)

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/03/26

Until you make the unknown known, it will dictate your life and you will call it "fate". We live in a world of complexity and chaos — you either drown in it, or you understand it. How do you understand the complexity and chaos? Through the use of mental models. Mental models are how we understand the world. Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things

62. Success Has Ingredients: Garbage In Garbage Out

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/03/19

What are the "ingredients" of success, Intelligence, and skill? What are the constituent parts? The source materials? Most people believe success, intelligence and skill are natural things you're either born with or without and there's nothing you can do to change it. They're wrong. Success, intelligence and skill, like everything else in the universe, has "ingredients". The same way a chemical compound is made up of elements, success is made up of a different breed of elements. There's always

61. The Genius Of Contradiction (15 Examples)

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/03/05

Normal people believe in one true "right" and "wrong". Geniuses, billionaires, and scientific revolutionaries believe in "contradiction". Normal people see what everybody else is thinking/doing, and then they adopt that as their own belief of what to think/do. They never think for themselves, they never agitate the crowd, they blindly obey. This isn't a problem if you're ok with losing. But, if you want to win, you need to think differently. You need to learn how to transcend binary logic and play

59. What Does Perfection Look Like?

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/02/06

What problem are you solving? For who? With what solution? What makes your solution different? And most importantly: What would the perfect solution look like? These are the things you should be spending most of your time thinking about as an entrepreneur. NOT taking photos of your food, Gucci duffle bag, and shitty snakeskin loafers to get social media followers to think you're rich, and maybe buy your stuff. Right now the entrepreneur market is in a state of mass confusion. Why? I believe most

58. Why Your Mind Is Full Of Weeds

The Sam Ovens Podcast ·

2019/01/29

Chances are your mind looks like this... It's full of "weeds", there probably is a plant somewhere in there, but you've mistaken the weeds for the plant itself. I talk to entrepreneurs every day, and a recurring pattern I see with all of them is that they've mistaken the distractions for the main thing. The weeds have taken over the garden of their minds. Today's podcast shows you how to identify the weeds and eliminate them -- so you can focus on the main thing.
