Loans during bankruptcy can either not be taken out at all or only under difficult conditions. The reasons are very diverse. Not only the negative Credit Bureau information, which is a consequence of the bankruptcy, but also the fact that a person who is in consumer or regular insolvency, all amounts of money that go beyond the legal seizure exemption, cede to the administrator got to.
This distributes them to the individual creditors according to a certain quota. During the conduct of good behavior phase, it is also legally forbidden to incur any debt that the insolvent debtor knows that it is certain that it cannot repay.
personal loans
While most banks refuse to apply for funding, it may well be possible to get loans from private relatives, acquaintances, or friends during bankruptcy. However, the most important prerequisite for this is that there is a good relationship of trust between the potential lender and the borrower. Especially with an insolvent person, this is anything but a matter of course. The same applies in the event that a personal loan is sought via a credit brokerage platform on the Internet. Here the lenders themselves determine to whom and under what circumstances they grant a loan and who does not.
credit Providers
There are numerous domestic and foreign credit intermediaries who promise their customers that they can provide them with a suitable loan even under the most difficult conditions. Even though many of these credit intermediaries have years of experience and diverse contacts with private or institutional lenders, this does not mean that they can broker loans during bankruptcy.
Should this be the case, reputable lenders would insist that the insolvent borrower can provide a guarantor, a co-applicant or additional collateral. Foreign lenders do not provide Credit Bureau information and therefore do not need to know anything about the bankruptcy. However, you should have a regular income.
Loans for Credit Institutions recipients
Many people who are in private bankruptcy are unemployed or receive Credit Institutions. In the latter case, there is only one realistic way to get loans under the bankruptcy. If rent and / or energy debts exist, important household appliances are defective or there are other valid reasons, you can apply for an interest-free loan from the job center.
The responsible service manager decides whether and to what extent this loan can be approved. There is no legal claim to a loan from the job center. The repayment of all loans during bankruptcy must be made in monthly installments. The recipient of the cash payments is the job center that has approved the loan.

The two legs you can't see here so instead draw two circles at the base and draw patch shapes on the body. STEP 2. Here is where you will draw the hind legs and part of the front feet. For the hind legs just draw a half heart shape on both sides. Next draw the love frogs mouth by sketching a real big open smile. STEP 3. Now it is time to draw the eye brows. Two big peanut shell shapes will complete this task. Move down and just lightly outline the head. STEP 4. This is the final step before seeing your finished product. On the bottom of the legs draw four shapes that resemble squiggly horse hooves. After you like what you see erase the guidelines and sketch marks you don't want. STEP 5.

SBA/ESD STEP Grants let Garrett Leather Stay True to Its Vision
International Relationships Key for Putting Buffalo Firm on Top
BUFFALO, NY – For Garrett Leather the U.S. Small Business Administration and Empire State Development State Trade Expansion Program, (STEP) has allowed vital access to international contacts and expanded outreach to several countries.
The Buffalo-based firm provides high-quality leather to interior designers, upholsterers and manufacturers. Garrett Leather provides products for use on private and corporate airplanes, corporate, hospitality and residential interiors, luxury motorhomes and private yachts. Most notable clients include Gulfstream, Learjet and the White House!
It's always tough to come up with a business name. Cameron started Garrett in the attic of his house and instead of naming the company "Brown Leather" and pigeonholing the company into one color range he used the old English word for the attic, the 'Garrett'. "The attic is where I started my firm over 30 years ago in the Elmwood Village area of Buffalo, before it was the trendiest neighborhood in Buffalo," says Cameron.
This year, SBA awarded $18 million to 41 state international trade agencies that successfully competed for funding to support export growth among small businesses through SBA's competitive STEP. The SBA awarded $700,000 to Empire State Development in New York totaling over 65% of their $1.076 million project budget. ESD has received STEP grant awards for the past six years.
"Through the STEP program, new-to-export and new-to-market firms are selling American products and services in markets all over the world," said RJ Ball, ESD Senior Director Industry Development and Foreign Trade Strategic Business Development/Global NY . "This year's grant will further help New York State assist small businesses who want to enter and succeed in the global market."
"Switzerland is host to the primary exhibition in the world for business and private aviation," said President Max Brown. "This particular trade exhibition is a key step to building relationships for our company. For Garrett Leather, STEP has been a primary source of funding that has allowed our firm to grow international contacts and expand outreach to several countries."
Max Brown is the son of Chairman of the Board Cameron Brown. Max started working in the family-owned business at age 19 learning a variety of trades including shipping and handling operations, product, customer service and marketing. Max was recently named President of the Western New York based company with over 60 employees.
With an expanding salesforce and consistent growth in employment, the business moved to an 80,000 square foot facility in Cheektowaga in 2016 as it pivoted towards value added services that created more jobs, such as leather wall panel, rug binding and welt cord fabrication. The company has expanded its workforce by over 20% since the move.
Max Brown encourages other small businesses to utilize the STEP program. "The SBA's STEP promotion program continues to be a great help for Garrett Leather. It allows our company to be able to participate in yearly trade exhibitions, to have one-on-one business meetings and to build relationships with new business partners from around the world."
About the U.S. Small Business Administration

It delivers services to people through an extensive network of SBA field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov.

With all 50 states now open for golf, one might assume the entire world is hitting the links again too, right? Wrong! Globally, golf is returning, but select nations are still waiting for the green light. Canada has different regulations for each of its provinces; Victoria, Australia reopened outdoor activity this week, and India remains shuttered until next week.
Then there are the four proud nations that comprise the United Kingdom. As of this week, golf has reopened in England, while Wales resumes May 18. But Northern Ireland and Scotland remain dark, and so the U.K. is not entirely "united" in its golf at the moment, continuing its divided history.
At its apex, the British Empire was perhaps the most powerful the world has ever seen. By 1913, it held sway over 412 million people which was 23% of the world population. But after the world wars, the expansion mostly ended. While the transfer of Hong Kong to China in 1997 technically marked the end of the British Empire, its territories and colonies had been seceding and declaring independence for decades. England has also squabbled with its two close counterparts, Northern Ireland and Scotland, for as long as anyone can remember.
At the turn of the century, the Good Friday Agreement marked the end of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, but did little to fully satisfy both republicans and loyalists. In 2014, Scotland held a "referendum" (public election) on Scottish independence, with 55% of voters rejecting the proposal and opting to remain with the U.K. Two years later the entire U.K. took the famous "Brexit" vote that rocked the world, and all four countries are now dealing with the aftermath of life outside the European Union, which officially began this past January.
Just weeks after Brexit became official, Sinn Féin, the longtime nationalist party in Ireland, took as many seats in parliament as longtime establishment parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. The new decade has marked a new beginning in Ireland. COVID-19 added to the ambiguity because of the lack of an "all island" approach (golf in the Republic of Ireland will reopen on May 18, but not in Northern Ireland). It's possible that Northern Ireland and Scotland will revisit independence referendums later this decade. Current polls suggest both nations are heading that way.
Meanwhile, golf in England plays on while Northern Ireland and Scotland remain at home. Like the U.S., England will keep clubhouses closed, tee-times booked in advance, bunker rakes removed, and flagsticks planted in cups. However, until the lockdown is universally lifted, there will also be confusion and financial woes for the border courses and clubs, with many golfers flowing in from both sides.
The U.K.'s four countries could be tracking toward a separate future, but maybe – maybe -- golf could be a force that helps bring people together. Just a few years ago, no one could have imagined an Open Championship being held on Irish soil, but last summer the tournament returned to Royal Portrush, in County Antrim, for the first time in 68 years, and it served as a shining example of how sports can unite. Now, any sort of competition will be welcome. But first the virus needs to be stopped, then the U.K. can return to its other complicated matters. With any luck, maybe its leaders will meet on the tee.

Creating Entrepreneurial Mindset is one of TASK's focus areas: Shrikant Sinha, CEO, TASK
Hyderabad, January 08, 2020. It is the vision of the Chief Minister of Telangana not just to help youth become employable but also make them entrepreneurs. What our Chief Minister envisions is to make Telangana, a state of employment generators rather than employment seekers. Falling in line with that thought, TASK is working on Creating Entrepreneurial Mindset among the youth in the state, shared Shrikant Sinha, CEO of TASK.
We would like to achieve that through college outreach programs not just in cities but also in rural areas and by conducting seminars and workshops at regular intervals, shared Mr Shrikanth Sinha, CEO of TASK — Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge, a not for profit organization created by Government of Telangana for bringing synergy among institutions of Government, Industry & Academia with an objective of offering quality human resources and services to the industry.
Mr Sinha was Chief Guest at the closing ceremony of Four-day 7th International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE-2020) held from January 5 to 8 at Anurag Group of Institutions(AGI) in the city.
We have MoU with 20partners. With their support and others, we reach out to many schools and colleges to create awareness about Entrepreneurial Mindset. What we do is to orient a person towards entrepreneurial thinking, by talking to them about innovation, ability to take risks, what it means to be an entrepreneur etc., he added.
Entrepreneurial Mindset is about the way in which you approach tasks, challenges, ups and downs, failures, mistakes and many such thing, he added.
What we have done in this regard so far is just a tip of ice berg. A lot more is to be done. We want to reach out to as many youth as possible on creating entrepreneurial mind set, Mr Sinha shared
As many as 676 colleges, 1,84,689 students are registered with TASK. We have so far trained 2,86,761 students in various aspects of the employment. We have also trained 5701 faculty, Sinha added.
Our programs help corporates gain access to a pool of trained graduates for suitable roles. Our students are trained extensively in latest technologies to help companies find the right candidate, he shared.
Speaking further, Mr Sinha told the Engineering education leaders at the concluding function of ICTIEE-2020 to create more courses catering to the diversified needs of the industry. Multiples colleges from different disciplines can come together to offer these courses such as 'Mechatronics', the combination of Mechanical and Electronics.
He cited an example of how a University formed in Shanghai in China in collaboration of various colleges and offer most unique, need based courses to address a specific requirement of the industry.
Mr Sinha told the Engineering faculty present in the meeting to change the way they teach.
Parents of 60 to 70% of Engineering students haven't ever been to a college. You need to guide them, show them a right path.
Quoting an example of Apple's recruitment advertisement, which sought ITIs and Polytechnic students rather than Engineering students. The reason the company said to have revealed later that they preferred those who can handle screwdriver rather than those who just know the definition of screwdriver.
Another example he shared was Swami Vivekananda's reply on being stopped from entering an educational institution in UK for not being dressed in formals (in suit). Vivekanda was wearing Kurta and Dhoti. Swami Vivekananda answered that in India educational institution make gentlemen unlike tailors in your country (read UK).
Ramakrishna Reddy Lingireddy, VP of CapGemini said as a company what we worry the most is people, whom want to recruit. No matter how bad media reports the economy is, there is always a dearth of people for our industry. There is a lot of gap exists between what the talent colleges are churning out and the talent the industry badly in need of. Academia plays a huge role in aligning student's talent to the industry requirements.
People coming in the industry must realise that their learning has not ended with getting a job. They must be in continuous learning process. Learning is not going to stop after the college. If one gets that attitude the career of the student stops, Ramakrishna Reddy warned.
Addressing the gathering Anurag Palla, Management Trustee - AGI said that Institutions should create environment that is conducive for students to be better prepared for the world and be employment ready. Training in Design thinking and creative thinking help and give the right push and motivation to students.
In his address Conference Chair Dr. G. Vishnu Murthy asked participants to integrate the humanistic approach in their teaching-learning.
Dr. K. S Rao, Director - AGI said that the conference had thrown light on transforming engineering education and will be very helpful to the future generations. Secretary and Correspondent S.

Update: October 7, 2020 PETA has obtained damning evidence showing that Johns Hopkins University (JHU) experimenter Shreesh Mysore appears to have violated Maryland law by failing to obtain a legally required permit to possess protected birds for his invasive brain experiments. In addition, he recently admitted that the traumatic methods that he uses in his experiments may produce misleading results.
Translation: Mysore's experiments are apparently illegal and useless, and he knows it.
PETA has fired off complaints to the National Eye Institute—which funds this fiasco—and JHU, calling on both institutions to put an end to this junk science.
Add your voice to ours by taking action below.
Update: March 17, 2020 PETA has fired off a letter to Johns Hopkins University (JHU) today and released damning reports and photographs obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that reveal the extent to which animals imprisoned in the university's laboratories suffer as a result of negligence, incompetence, and a stunning disregard for their lives.
JHU's violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act include locking highly social monkeys in solitary, barren cages with no enrichment as well as a number of horrific deaths endured by animals imprisoned at the school. In one instance, a worker closed a cage door on a marmoset monkey, killing the animal. In another, a monkey was found dead with her head stuck inside a ball used for "enrichment."
What's more, in light of its campus shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, JHU has ordered its experimenters to identify "critical animals to be maintained," presumably leading to the mass killing of countless others who aren't considered "critical"—which begs the question Why were these animals forced to endure cruel and painful tests in the first place?
Now more than ever, it's imperative that Shreesh Mysore's laboratory be shut down so that the owls imprisoned in it can be sent to a sanctuary.
It's a basement torture chamber.
Documents obtained by PETA reveal that Johns Hopkins experimenter Shreesh Mysore cuts into the skulls of barn owls, inserts electrodes into their brains, forces them to look at screens for hours a day, and bombards them with noises and lights—and pretends that doing this will tell us something about attention-deficit disorder in humans.
This owl is one of many imprisoned in Shreesh Mysore's laboratory, where he cuts into their skulls and screws metal devices onto their heads in curiosity-driven experiments that have no relevance for human health.
Funded by Johns Hopkins University with more than $1 million, Mysore intends to use 50 to 60 barn owls in just the current set of painful experiments. He's also received more than $1.5 million from the National Institutes of Health to torment these owls and other animals.
Six owls are just for his students to practice surgery on and then kill.
What He Does to Owls Mysore cuts into owls' skulls to expose their brains. Then, he screws and glues metal devices onto their heads. The owls endure two to three invasive surgeries before Mysore uses them in experiments. These birds—who are nocturnal hunters who would fly great distances in their natural habitat—are forced into restraint devices so cramped that they can't move their wings while Mysore bombards them with sounds and lights and measures their brain activity. For some experiments, he restrains fully conscious owls for up to 12 hours. During these experiments, he pokes electrodes around in the brains of the fully conscious birds, mutilating their brain tissue so severely that they become "unusable" to him—at which point he kills them.
Mysore admits that his experiments are painful for the owls, yet in his grant application for the experiments, he provides scant information on any pain medication that would be administered.
All the owls are killed at the end of the experiments.
Mysore claims that his experiments could help humans, but owls have well-developed auditory and visual systems that are specialized in target selection (unlike humans). Bombarding these animals with artificial stimulation while their brain activity is measured in a distressing and completely unnatural situation does nothing to further understanding of human attention-deficit disorder.
Tell Johns Hopkins University to end this torment now!

Permaculture and Healing — Part 1
Looking at Healthcare Through the Lens of Permaculture
Permaculture is a flexible tool and means many things to different people. Often those who put permaculture into practice in their daily lives, whether through land management or other means, are interested in finding not only a way to design our food and garden production but also to redesign other aspects of our lives, including many elements of mainstream society.
This is hardly surprising; permaculture is very practical and one of the things a trained practitioner can spot when looking through its lens is inefficiency and loss of energy or pollution. These are often present in the systems within which much of mainstream society is enmeshed.
Eating for health
The most common system which we aim to step away from by using permaculture is that of industrialised monoculture food production; by using permaculture we can design systems which provide a holistic, sustainable or ideally regenerative alternative to the wasteful, inefficient and destructive methods employed by those who produce food using large-scale chemical-intensive agriculture systems. But can we also utilise permaculture to help us provide alternatives to other aspects of the society so many of us have experienced so many problems within?
There are myriad ways in which we can obtain our food or change our diet in order to make it more holistic and ecologically sound and this can very often lead to enhanced physical health in our bodies. Nevertheless, the problem of illness remains, and what happens if we do get ill? This article will explore the use of permaculture as a tool for healing, one that can aid in the transcendence of so-called 'mainstream' medical thinking and which can be applied on a personal and community level.
Medical nemesis
Many have pointed out that there appears to be a correlation between the establishment of institutionalised agriculture and the rise of socio-economic problems among human communities (1). It seems that human food production as a part of the production of the ecosystem as a whole helped our ancestors to live in balance with the natural world.
On the other hand, once large-scale grain agriculture was established, and with it the seemingly paradoxical need to have many people all living in a small space where they can tend the grains, while at the same time having to clear all available land for the grains to grow to ensure that all those people have enough to eat, this balance became somewhat disturbed.
In the same way we can see, not healthcare itself, but the modern institution of healthcare, as being a dangerously unbalanced system from a holistic perspective. There are a number of critics of the modern healthcare institution. Perhaps one of the most enthusiastic and concise is Ivan Ilich, who stated in his 1975 work 'Medical Nemesis' (2), "The medical establishment has become a major threat to health." (2)
In the book, Ilich used extensive data to argue that the modern medical healthcare system is inherently unhealthy, since it is geared toward profit rather than healing, and to the fixing of one problem rather than a holistic view of the human being (2). This is now such a commonplace criticism that it's perhaps seen by many as common sense.
Social iatrogenesis
Ilich went further, however, in his explorations, into the cultural 'norms' which have built up around the modern healthcare system. It is the socio-cultural stories which are prevalent within modern healthcare which, he says, make it so dangerous to human health as they perpetuate our understanding of ourselves as dependent upon that very system. Ilich called this 'iatrogenesis' of society. 'Iatrogenesis' is any effect a medical professional or medicine has on a patient which does not support the patient's goals or overall health, and causes further illness or injury (3).
Ilich stated that this social iatrogenesis: "obtains when medical bureaucracy creates ill-health by increasing stress, by multiplying disabling dependence, by generating new painful needs, by lowering the levels of tolerance for discomfort or pain, by reducing the leeway that people are
wont to concede to an individual when he suffers, and by abolishing even the right to self-care. Social iatrogenesis is at work when health care is turned into a standardized item, a staple; when all suffering is "hospitalized" and homes become inhospitable to birth, sickness, and death; when the language in which people could experience their bodies is turned into bureaucratic gobbledegook; or when suffering, mourning, and healing outside the patient role are labeled a form of deviance." (2)
Medical myths…
One example of this is the idea of painkillers. Ilich questioned the logic of wanting to 'kill' pain; since it can be seen as a way in which our bodies communicate with our conscious minds, and if we shut it out we break this connection.
He also questioned the idea that pain can be objectively measured to the extent that doctors can prescribe medicine solely for pain, when it is a unique subjective experience for every person (2).
This can be directly applied to permaculture by looking at the first design principle of 'Observe and Interact'. If we experience pain, we are the only ones who can observe it successfully, since we are the only ones who actually feel it. If we block the observation process then the interaction is also blocked, and we perhaps lose our ability to deal with the pain on a personal level.
This is not to say that pain is good, or that no one should ever take painkillers, but that if we are always told the story that pain is something negative which can be objectively got rid of, then this takes away our self-empowerment to deal with what is, of course, an inevitable part of human experience. Thus our ability to self-heal is taken away (or never cultivated in the first place), and so we need a doctor to help us when we are in pain. And so the cycle continues.
Ilich noted the same dependency cycle in other aspects of modern society, for example in the modern story of death as a negative thing, which disempowers individuals since we feel this natural consequence of living to be some kind of burden too heavy for us to deal with by ourselves. Or by treating childbirth not as a natural emergence but a medical emergency, so we do not have control over even this basic function of life (2).
We can always choose whether or not to give away our power, but many do not necessarily even see that there is a choice.
Stepping away
So now that we are aware of the socio-cultural traps laid for us by institutionalised healthcare, what can we do about it? From a permaculture perspective, we do not need to change or get rid of the system. Indeed, there are many benefits of modern healthcare which can be utilised even if everyone becomes fully self-empowered, self-healing individuals.
Permaculture founder Bill Mollison has been quoted as saying: "If you have a dysfunctional system, don't try to change it. Rather, determine what the institution was supposed to deliver and design a better system to actually deliver that purpose or service." (4)
There are many alternatives to the modern institutionalised healthcare system in place today all over the world. Some are ancient practices which have been passed down for thousands of years, such as Ayurveda and other traditional forms of medicine. Some involve individuals working by themselves.
In part two of this article, I will discuss some of the options available to us to start taking steps towards designing systems of healthcare which are holistic, self-empowering and ecological.
These could be broadly divided into the categories of:
- Plant wisdom – learning about the plants that can help us to heal and communicating with the wider environment in which they grow
- Human wisdom – gaining wisdom of our own mental and physical processes and the power to change these at will in order to heal
- Community wisdom – learning how to interact in a community of self-healers or holistic healers.
This final section, 'community wisdom', can be seen as the most challenging, and perhaps the most in need of a redesigned system in order to help us be healthy not only in our own bodies, but as part of a healthy community, comprised of both humans and other living beings.

You can pre-order his newest book, which is out July 7th, entitled Disrupt You!: Master Personal Transformation, Seize Opportunity, and Thrive in the Era of Endless Innovation on Amazon. Jay sits down with John Livesay to talk on some of the life lesson's he's learned over the years. In the episode, Jay talks about Disrupt You! and shares examples of successful people failing, people pivoting their business, and much more.
Disrupt You – Interview with Jay Samit
Hi and welcome back to The Successful Pitch. Today's guest is Jay Samit, the author of a new book coming out July 7th, Disrupt You! Boy, does that book have great information for startups today. Jay has raised over $800 million dollars over the decades for startups, so clearly he's an expert. His book, Disrupt You!, has a foreword written by the founder of LinkedIn, if you could imagine having those kinds of connections. We are obviously extremely thrilled and honored to have him on the show today. Jay, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me.
Jay, I just gave a little tip of the ice berg of your background, everything from being at Sony and Universal to now you're the CEO of C-Change, doing multi screen TV services and teaching at USC on how to build a high-tech startup. You have such an incredible background and your book is full of information. I'm honored to have had a chance to read an advanced copy of it.
Can you take us back, I know you do this in your book [Disrupt You!], about how you first came up with the idea of getting into startups in the first place and what made you realize you really have a passion for that?
I'd like to say it was a plan, but I graduated as many Millennials did, although this was many years ago, at a time of a great recession. You did what you were told. You got good grades in high school, got into a good college, you got good grades in college and then bam, there's no jobs. Back then, it wasn't so easy to raise money. But I figured out if I would just go out and print a business card and suddenly claim to be a business, nobody would ever come and visit the business. I could morph and figure out what we did later.
[Tweet "Disruption is either an obstacle or an opportunity, the choice is yours."]
My first company was called Jasmine Productions. Jasmine, Jay Alan Samit, and it was mine. From that humble beginning, I happened to look at where were new industries happening, where could growth take place. Probably the easiest message is, when we look out today at all the changes in our world, I call this the era of endless innovation, there's constant disruption. Disruption is either an obstacle or an opportunity, the choice is yours.
I love that. Your book [Disrupt You!] says you have to do three things: master personal transform, seize opportunity, and then thrive in this era of, as you said, endless innovation. I want to start with this whole concept of mastering personal innovation. You talk a lot about that in your book about how important it is to think of yourself as a brand, first of all. You have this great quote about people are so interested in changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves. Can you speak to that?
[Tweet "Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing themselves."]
Sure. Most of us, by the time we get to be adults, are carrying all this baggage of being told what we can't do. You weren't good at math, you can't read a map, you can't do this, you can't do that. For most people, they actually believe this, when in fact you can actually do whatever you want. I'm always envious of those people that believe in reincarnation. I don't, so I figure I have one shot to get it right and I want to do as much as I can.
If you really look at it that way and you stop saying what you can't and start focusing what you can do, almost anything becomes possible. The most successful people in the world have the same 24 hours a day that you do.
[Tweet "The most successful people in the world have the same 24 hours a day that you do."]
You also talk about it in Disrupt You!, the important of just taking five minutes and visualizing your success and how important a positive attitude is to being successful.
Have you ever met or gotten a great idea from a negative person?
Never. If you can just start your day out of what's great, you woke up ahead of everybody else and just start visualizing what you want to get out of the day, what you want to get out of life, what your goals are. If you don't know where you want to be in five years, you're not going to get there.
Your life is just like any other journey. You have to put out a map, what I call a disruptor's map, to really plan out. You don't have to know all the steps. That's where some people get lost in the process. "I really know that I want to direct Hollywood movies, but I don't know what to do." Most likely, staying in Indiana is not the place to start. Get yourself there.
[Tweet "All disruption starts with introspection."]
I love how you say, "All disruption starts with introspection." That's such a key connecting element to your book [Disrupt You!], about take a look at who you are, what your strength are, and what problem you can solve in the world. The real Tweetable quote that I love from your book is, "Businesses don't sell products. They sell solutions."
[Tweet "Businesses don't sell products. They sell solutions."]
So many startups that I work with get so in love with their idea, but can't verbalize to investors what solution it's fixing for people. You have done that time and time again, both for big companies like Sony and Universal, as well as startups. Can you tell us about the importance of, and when you teach your students to look for things that are disruptive and how that solves problems?
I've taken stakes in over 80 startups in my career, and investors have made money almost all of those times.
What attracts me and what you need to do, the classic elevator pitch. What's that one sentence that explains what your business does? Tons of people want to come to San Francisco for Mac World, but can't afford hotel rooms. AirBnB. Just solve a problem.
[Tweet "What is unique is you are the only person seeing the world from your point of view."]
What is unique and where you can succeed is you are the only person seeing the world from your point of view. You are experiencing every single day, problems and aggravation. Every one of those is an opportunity, because if it's bothering you, it's obviously bothering others. The bigger the opportunity. You're one click away from billions of people nowadays. Becoming a global brand and solving a global problem is as easy as first identifying it.
Just write them down. If you write down three problems you have every day that you see in the world, the beginning of the month it's pretty easy. By the end of the month, it gets tougher. But you have 90 ideas and then you can work down that list and see which ones scale the most, which one can capture the value that you create. It's that easy.
[Tweet "Becoming a global brand and solving a global problem is as easy as first identifying it."]
That's such valuable takeaway for our audience, Jay. Thank you. One of the quotes that you have in the book is, "Problems are just businesses waiting for the right entrepreneur to unlock the value." You certainty gave us an example of that with the AirBnB example.
[Tweet "Problems are just businesses waiting for the right entrepreneur to unlock the value."]
When you talk about the multitude of ideas that you get if you write down three a day, at the end of the month obviously and at the end of a quarter, you have a lot. One of my favorite takeaways in your book [Disrupt You!] is with this concept you've come up with called the zombie idea. Can you tell us what you mean by that?
Everybody else tells you to nurture your idea, to grow your idea, to love your idea. They're wrong. The best thing you can do with your big idea is kill it. Before you start hiring people, spending money, whatever, go to people in the field and find out, not relatives and friends that want to help you, go to actual customers and have them tell you why your idea sucks, why it'll fail, what's wrong with it.
Because if you can start plugging those holes, "Wow, you're right, that's not a good idea. Oh, yeah, what if I do this?" Then you'll go down a path. When you find that idea that can't be killed, that's a zombie idea. That's the one that you start spending money on.
[Tweet "Get a ZOMBIE idea that is so good it can't die."]
I love it. That's going to be the big Tweetable moment for sure, because the zombie idea, the Walking Dead, everybody loves that concept. The idea is so great, the problem that it solves is so needed that it can't be killed. It's really a wonderful, wonderful, clever, clever way to get people to think about their ideas.
We've talked about mastering your personal transformation. The second part of your book is all about seizing opportunities. You have one of the best stories I've ever heard of seizing an opportunity, which has happened, I'm sure, to anybody who has been in the business world and made appointments to pitch people. Which is, "I'm sorry, there's been a last minute cancellation. This person is no longer able to see you right now." In your story, the person was catching a limo on the way to LAX. Can you tell the listeners how you seized that opportunity?
Sure. Taking everybody back about 15 years ago when the music industry was being disrupted. Suddenly Napster comes out, everybody's stealing music. The industry goes from a $40 billion industry to a $20 billion dollar industry. Every record company is losing their money, nobody knows what the future is.
I, as a serial disruptor, want to change that industry and jump in with tons of ideas. I finally get a meeting with the CEO of EMI, the world's largest standalone music company. This is the home of Frank Sinatra and The Beatles and Pink Floyd and etc. Ken Berry, who was, earlier in his career, Richard Branson's original partner in founding Virgin.
I have this meeting, I show up at Capital Records, go up to the top, the E floor of the Capital Records building. He's gracious enough to come out of his office and say something has changed, he can't do our meeting and he has to leave right now for the airport.
I realized it's LA. To get to the airport, it's 45 minutes with traffic. I said, "How about I just ride with you in the limo to the airport?" Now, instead of getting a 15 minute meeting. I get a 45 minute meeting. During that time, I explained my visions and thoughts. I hear what his needs are. While he's in the air, I now know for the next 12 hours, nobody can reach him. I spend those 12 hours like a mad man and write an entire business plan for what I believe the next five years of the music industry will look like. That's in his inbox when he lands. Got hired right then, the second he landed.
Had you not seized that opportunity and been bold enough and creative enough to say, "Hey, why don't I ride in the limo," and figure out your own way home from the airport, that would have never have happened. What a great example of seizing an opportunity.
The other one that you have in your book [Disrupt You!] is this amazing opportunity that came to you, which tells people that when you have an idea that really is so great, that people find you. Which is you got a call to come meet with President Clinton at the White House. Can you tell us about that opportunity?
I was very successful in the early days of launching what became the PC and the internet and the way we see the world. One of the ways I wanted to give back is I had this vision of we need to get computers into the schools. We need to get a computer into every class room. It's a very simple, big idea.
Had no idea how to make that happen, but I would write about it and would appear in magazines and speak at conferences. One day, I'm sitting in my little software company. There was 20 of us. Nobody knows who we are. I get a call from the President of the United States. I literally thought it was somebody doing an Arkansas accent pretending to be, "This is the President."
To make a long story short, the White House believed in the idea and they invited a whole bunch of forward thinking people together and saying, "How do we make this happen?" You get all inspired. You're sitting in the White House, you're sitting with the President, the Vice President, all these really important people. Then they give you the little thing, "Oh, by the way, there's no federal dollars to help you. We're there for moral support," but that's all it took.
It just took people believing and you got enough great minds together. One of the stories that, I don't know if it's in the book, that spun out of this is we ended up wiring a Nations school one day, a school in California, for the press. Photo op. Back then, before Wi-Fi, you literally had to wire CAT5 wires. The President is wearing a hard hat and the Vice President.
At the end of it, there's photo ops with the White House photographer. A month goes by and I get this beautiful signed photo to me, that's going to be framed to my wall forever. It was a three shot. It was me, the President, and this other guy. I'm like, I really wish it was just the two of us. He's one of the guys in the committee that participated. It's the kind of picture you want to show your mom. About ten years go by and people go, "Oh, you're friends with Eric Schmidt?" There was somebody else that volunteered who went on later to become the founding Chairman of Google.
That's quite a very high group of people that you're working with. That whole concept of figuring out a way to solve a problem without a lot of money and everybody pooling their resources together, you never know who you're going to interact with. That's such an inspiring story.
The takeaway of the story is Eric Schmidt was a guy who had just left Novell . He was looking for something new and meaningful to do. These people that become the legends of entrepreneurship, the disruptors that change our world, it didn't happen to them. It wasn't like, "Oh, I was walking down the street and I just won a lottery ticket." They made it happen. They went out of their way.
The majority of the world's billionaires are self-made. That is not something that existed in the past. This isn't about class, this isn't about race. When I look at the big problems of the world, whether you go with climate change or water shortage or anything, the only people that are going to stop these problems are entrepreneurs.
One of the things you talk about, you have a whole chapter devoted about capital, is a lot of entrepreneurs say, "I just need funding and then I'll be successful." You have a whole creative strategy that you've used throughout your whole career called Other People's Money, OPM, without having to necessarily get an investor. One of the stories you talk about is how you got Sony music, McDonald's and United Airlines, which seem like completely separate industries, to somehow work together and brainstorm something that allowed Sony music to piggy back on their money. Can you explain that whole strategy to our listeners on being creative like that?
Sure. You're starting a new business and it's aimed at solving a problem for some segment of the audience, whatever that may be. It may be elder care, it maybe young people, it maybe women, whatever it is. There are some other brand out there that also wants to sell to, reach, and work with that same target audience, and they have a non-competitive product.
If you can figure out how to use their marketing dollars, their reach, their sales channel to promote what you do, then you're basically spending off-balance sheet financing. They're paying for you to become successful.
In the case of Sony, we were launching a competitor to iTunes and that is a big task to do. I was trying to figure out who else had problems. It doesn't matter what their problems were, but who else was in the headlines. The two on the headlines at the same time was United was coming out of bankruptcy and wanted to tell the world, "Come fly with United," and McDonald's had suffered through a movie called Super Size Me, which shows Spurlock nearly dying by eating McDonald's three times a day for 30 days.
To make a long story short, I went to each of them. In United I said, "Wow. United, you have all these people with frequent flyer miles that they're not using. What if we make it a currency that you can buy digital downloads with it?" and, "McDonald's, what if we make you hip and cool by every time you buy a Big Mac, there's a free code on the box. It's called the Big Mac value track, and you got a song."
Now you have McDonald's spending millions of dollars for great TV commercials, putting signs in every store, bags, and all that. United, we did a concert in the sky with Sheryl Crow, 30,000 feet, filled the plane with press from Chicago to LA, and got lead story on all the network news, all the newspapers, everybody covered it. You now have millions of customers coming to your store, opening week, and it didn't cost you one little cent.
And you were competing against Apple's huge budget. That is an amazing story about being creative and using other people's money, but people are willing to spend their money because you're solving their problem in addition to having your own problem solved. I think that's the real genius behind what you did there.
If I could just build on that. When you pitch, if I could give one piece of advice for your listeners to takeaway today. When you pitch, it's the same concept. When I was in my 20s and pitching big companies, I would go in and say, "Intel, this will solve this for Intel, this will solve that for Intel." I thought it all out, everything. You know what? That's not what a pitch is.
Pitches solve the problem for the human being across the desk. What motivates them? Are they trying to get a bonus? Are they trying to get a promotion? Are they trying to beat a certain competitor? Get in their mindset, because all you have to do is solve for the individual that you're pitching and all the rest will work itself out.
[Tweet "Solve for the individual that you're pitching and all the rest will work itself out."]
It's really having huge empathy skills, it sounds like, of what you're saying there. What is their hot button? Is it they need a promotion, they need to hit a certain number? You also talk about in Disrupt You!, the concept of CEOs are happy to buy your startup company if it's going to make them look good or help them solve a problem, right?
Yeah. Large corporations are not setup to innovate. They're not setup to, what's our new thing to do? What they're busy doing is, "We've got this percentage share of the ketchup market," and they look at their competitor or who else is selling ketchup. Or Kodak versus Fuji kept on looking, who sold how much film and who sells film at this Disneyland and should we pay to sell our film there. Not paying attention that people aren't using film any more, those are digital cameras.
When that moment happens that you take those risks and you have that money losing business for two, three years to prove your new concept, then it's at a point where they're willing to say, "Wow, we need to get in there. We don't mind overpaying. We don't mind buying Oculus Rift for billions of dollars though it doesn't have a penny in revenue," an extreme example.
Even the innovator type companies like Google, about as innovative as you can get, they were late to mobile. They bought Android. They didn't sit and create that on their own. You'll see this time and time again. Many of the millionaires if not most of the millionaires that you think of that came out of the Silicon Valley area did so on businesses that were not profitable.
Just to expand on that concept of coming up with something that necessarily isn't hugely profitable out of the gate but still has an extreme value for someone to want to buy, you also talk about there are times where you do want to get investors to give you money for a percentage of your company. You have this great tweet in there about, "100% of nothing is nothing, whereas 50% of something can be worth millions," and that you'd rather half the Pacific Ocean than all of Lake Erie. What a great visual that is.
So many of our startups talk about valuation. "I don't want to give away too much of my company for this kind of investment." But like you said, 100% of nothing is nothing. If you need the money in order to make your company grow and scale and prove that it's viable, then 50% of something can be worth billions. I'd love to have your insights on that.
[Tweet "100% of nothing is nothing. 50% of something can be worth millions."]
The answer I usually give to people that are afraid to give away something or whatever is, "Tell me a billion dollar company that has no employees and no investors." You're not going to do it alone. You better start figuring out that it is going to take a whole team of people and you're going to be the Pied Piper leading them.
In the beginning, your employees are going to have to come on that leap of faith. What's going to give them a leap is that they're are going to get some of that upside, because they're going to be working for free or less than they could get at a job somewhere else. Your investors know, that the vast majority of startups won't make it, so they're taking a huge risk and. That's how it starts getting divided up. There's no other way.
Now, there's cleaver ways to structure things and various ways to get into detail, too much to get into here, but I try to cover them in the book [Disrupt You!]. In the basic premise, you want as strong as a team as you can.
[Tweet "You want as strong as a team as you can have."]
One of the things that sometimes people forget is that LinkedIn is a great tool for solving this issue. There are esteemed people in your field, in your industry, that you can just reach out to on LinkedIn, send them a note, and ask them for advice, and put up a group of advisers around your concept that will make you seem more connected, know the industry better, grow faster. That's an easy way. Many of these people want to give back and just want to feel validated that their experience and expertise made a difference.
When you talk about getting the right team and people need to feel like they have a huge upside to leave their, especially if you're recruiting somebody from a really big company that has great skills and is in big demand, one of the other tweets in the book that was so empowering I thought, and really made me stop was, "Would you rather work 40 hours at a job you hate or 80 hours at work you love?"
[Tweet "Would you rather work 40 hours at a job you hate or 80 hours at work you love?"]
I don't feel like I work. I put in a ton of hours, seven days a week. I don't golf, I don't sit around. I'm on a mission. When you feel like you're on a mission, there's nothing that's going to stop you. There's nothing that's more energizing. You sleep because our human carcass forces us to. I've been in, I don't know, 20 cities in the past month. I fly around like crazy because the opportunity to help one more person, to change one person's life, to inspire one more person, it's selfish. It makes our world better.
If you had to say what's your mission was in a nutshell? You gave us a little bit of it. It's making a difference and encouraging other people to make a difference, right? Is that what gets you going?
I truly believe the only people that solves world problems are entrepreneurs. We've got a lot of problems. Yet, we don't teach people how to be great entrepreneurs. I'm on the wrong side of 50. I grew up with I Love Lucy. Lucy would have a get rich quick scheme, it would fall apart, and then Ricky would forgive her and life would go on.
To today's generation, they grew up with Homer Simpson has a crazy idea, it falls apart and life goes on. That is the ethos that is very specific to the American dream. The American dream isn't that anyone can get rich. The American dream is really anyone can try. There is no fear in failure. Failure means that you tried. You learn more from failure than you do from anything else.
[Tweet "You learn more from failure than you do from anything else."]
Bill Gates and Paul Allen's first company wasn't Microsoft. The first company went out of business. Did they get shunned? No. Their next business was Microsoft. Henry Ford had gone broke. Walt Disney. You have to understand that failure is part of the process and not stop. You don't want to just give up.
That brings up the whole concept of pivoting that you talk about in your book. You talked earlier today about, ask your customers if they think that's a good idea and why not. You have this great tweet, "Data has no ego and makes an excellent co-pilot." That ability to say, "This is what I think. I'm not afraid of failing. I'm going to get some feedback. I'm going to get some data. If that doesn't work, I'm going to pivot."
[Tweet "Data has no ego and makes an excellent co-pilot."]
You tell this amazing story of what YouTube originally had as an idea. I don't know that many people know that. Would you tell us that story?
Sure. In the early days of internet dating, a couple of guys sat down and said, "You know what? Internet dating just shows a still picture. That could be 20 years and 20 pounds ago. You don't know what that person is really like. We're going to make a dating site that has videos on it."
They put up Tune In Hook Up as a video dating site. They learned two things from the data. Nobody was really excited about dating any of these people, but tons of people liked watching the videos. They got rid of the dating part, put up more videos, and within a year changed the name to YouTube and became billionaires.
Had they not looked at the data, had they believed that their idea was so good and flawless and we-know-everything, they would have just gone their merry way out of business and never pivoted.
Pivoting is a very hard to thing to do. You have to admit that you were wrong. But the good news is, you wouldn't haven't gotten to that point to get that data and see that insight had you not gone down that wrong path. Going deep into the woods with your eyes closed, you're going to hit a tree and die. The whole point is to look at all this rich data that we get nowadays and see that insight that none of your competitors have, because they haven't gone through that experience.
[Tweet "Pivoting is a very hard to thing to do. You have to admit that you were wrong."]
I love that. That really is the third element of your book, which is thrive in this era of endless innovation by seeing the insights that no one else has seen. Sometimes that means the only way you can see is by trying something that doesn't work. What a great, great book.
Jay, in addition to your book, which obviously everybody is going to want to pre-order on Amazon and any other way you can get it, are there any other books you have your students read or anything that would suggest for startups that are looking for either great ideas on pitching, getting investors to pick them, since it's such a percent that get invested?
I haven't seen one as far on how to raise money. There's books on pitching, like Pitch Anything. There's books on how to make a lean startup or a tech startup. The Lean Startup has done very well. What really drove me to write Disrupt You! was the fact that I saw a lot of books written by journalists about what they think it should be. Then I saw a lot of books like the famous one by Jack Welch, one career, one moment in time, look how smart I am.
But I really didn't see anybody that took the point of view of, let's do a cross section of every industry and show how we all follow the same process, whether you're Richard Branson, whether you're starting LinkedIn, whether you're starting YouTube, any of these business or restaurants or the many of the hundreds of examples, Silly Putty to Odor Eaters. I really wanted people to see not only how easy it is. Disruptions are not just about releasing value, but focusing on where to capture that value.
[Tweet "Disruptions are not just about releasing value, but focusing on where to capture that value."]
Shawn Fanning did a great job with Napster of disrupting the music industry, but Napster never captured any of the value that it unleashed. So, what's the point? It's really important to understand the complete value chain of a business and where those things go. I tried to bring this in the most accessible manner. If a moron, like me, can be successful over and over again, anybody can.
I hope this inspires the next generation. If I could be so bold, have those people reach out to me with their success stories. Because really, nothing fires me more than getting to hear from them. They can go to JaySamit.com or follow me at @JaySamit on Twitter.
Great, that was going to be my last question, is how can readers follow you and keep up with you or reach out to you. You just gave us that. Twitter and obviously you're on LinkedIn and you have a website that has all kinds of things. Obviously, you are also an incredible speaker. You talk about that in your book, about that's a big way to increase your own brand. You've spoken literally around the world. I love that story you have in your book about speaking in Mumbai and how that totally changes your world and your perspective on everything.
Jay, this has been so great. We really appreciate you sharing your wisdom, your insights. Disrupt You!, everybody, comes out July 7th. You're going to want to pre-order it and you're going to have so many valuable tweets in that book. You're going to have a year's worth of knowledge in one read. I highly recommend it.
John, if I could just give one last thing to your listeners. You did such a great job and I'm so flattered that you read the book and that you liked and you really did your homework, unlike most journalists who just phone it in. I have a trailer out on YouTube for the book. Here's what I'm giving your listeners that haven't told anybody. There is a secret buried in that video trailer that is a contest. The prize is a day with Jay. I will work and help you with your pitch, your deck, get your whole business up to going.
If you're clever, you'll figure it out. Just search for my name and Disrupt You! on YouTube and you'll see the video trailer. I haven't tipped anybody else off that it's in there, so you guys have a head start.
Wow, a day with Jay. What a great prize. I can't even put a dollar amount on that, it's so huge. Thank you so much, that's amazing. I'm sure everybody is going to YouTube right away and try to enter that contest.
Yeah, I'm sure you'll put a link on your podcast.
Yes, we will definitely put that in transcription and also in the links and all that stuff. Thank you for that.

Morning bookies. Why does hot coffee taste so good on a blazing hot day when you're sitting in the A/C watching the grass turn brown? After all, you're only a power outage away from shriveling up yourself.
In thinking about my recent screed about the scanner people, it did occur to me just how useful such a tool could be for someone who actually knows their business already. Like me. It could help cut down on all of those tempting books I buy that look so wonderful, but are selling for less than a dollar on the net. You know the ones, where the first 50 entries for sale all say something like, "May or may not have tool marks. May or may not be ex-library. May or may not have food stains. Good condition, mint, acceptable, a great copy, might be falling apart." These are canned descriptions that scanner people and mega-listers put on every single book in their inventory, because they can't be bothered to inspect them. The computer prices them, then their software monitors the internet, and if another copy comes available cheaper their machines automatically undercut the new price. But, since the new guy probably has the same software, they respond by cutting their price and so on, until the bottom has been reached and there is a glut of crappy copies all cluttering up the website so that the better copies are all on page 2 of the search results, all sold by a bunch of people who could just as easily be selling tires or Hummel figurines.
Some business, huh?
But with a scanner, maybe I could avoid buying those books in the first place. I could use the scanner to avoid the scanner people. I like that concept, using their own technology against them. So we'll see, I might think about that one, and if I do get one I'll let you know. But I recognize that it could also be dangerous, a slippery slope into bookseller hell.

text: This is a painting I made while on a trip to Tenerife with a bunch of other painting students. We stayed at the vacation home of one of our teachers. I tried letting the landscape speak for itself and not adding any artificial sunlight. Sometimes nature just looks greyish, and that has beauty in itself. It is not to be painted away in my opinion. This is a painting of medium size made on mdf, which is an excellent bearer for oil paint.
