This week we’re talking with Josh Linkner about reinvention. This isn’t your typical reinvention, like to resurrect from the dead, no, this type of reinvention in the words of our guest is the necessary process of proactively crafting a new future, and I would say this is a very necessary mindset and practice to move forward, stay relevant, and succeed in business today.

Josh Linkner – who started his career as a jazz guitarist - has been the founder and CEO of four tech companies, which sold for a combined value of over $200 million. He is also a deeply experienced business leader, venture capitalist, top-rated keynote speaker, and author of two New York Times bestsellers: Disciplined Dreaming and The Road to Reinvention. And yes, he still plays a mean jazz guitar.
WARRIOR of Flashlight
“If we’re truly going to be creative warriors,I think it’s about finding innovative and creative ways to conquer those barriers” - Josh Linkner
Highlights -
- The world isn’t static. Today we live in a rate of change.
- It’s our responsibility to reinvent early and often
- If you wait until it’s broke, it’s way more difficult to overcome those challenges
- It takes courage to let go over what’s working in favor of the possibility
- It takes more courage to let go when it’s working
- We should apply that blank page essence to all of our lives, start fresh with new ideas so you don’t become stale
- Instead of thinking about following the herd, think about how you can do the polar opposite
- Following the herd in business is terribly risky
- The worst insult of all is getting confused with a competitor
- Double down on what makes your business different
- The most business success happens when you spot a trend early and are able to adapt to future trends before they happen
