Our usual guests talk about journeys that they chose to embark on: starting a company, solving a problem, creating opportunities, or navigating life and career. In our current series, we’re probing into a trip that none of us opted into but we’re all aboard anyway…and that is artificial intelligence. AI influences what we see, hear, buy, and think, how we navigate the world, and how we navigate daily life. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Bob Morais, a business anthropologist and expert in human behavior, particularly in the realm of marketing. Dr. Morais had a 35+ year career in advertising and market research and is a Lecturer at Columbia Business School. Morais digs into how AI is used today, the opportunities and pitfalls, how AI stretches the range of possibilities, AI "hallucinations" and why it's best utilized as a partner and collaborator rather than a substitute. Morais was a Principal/Co-owner of a market research firm and spent years with advertising agencies rising to the role of Chief Strategic Officer. He has worked with Coca Cola, Danone, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Post Foods, Proctor & Gamble, Safeway, WD-40, Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel, and many others. His books include Advertising and Anthropology; Ethics in the Anthropology of Business; and The Language of Branding. His articles have appeared in Forbes, Advertising Age, Huffington Post, American Anthropologist, Human Organization, Culture and Organization, and Medium.

Steve Fleck is the voice many people hear in their hardest moments, when their heart is jumping out of their chest, their mind is crushed, and the finish line is in sight. Fleck is a broadcast commentator for athletics, cycling, endurance, and running competitions. He’s the familiar soundtrack to events streamed on media like CBC, FLOBIKES, Ironman Live, and others. But how does one become the voice of sport, or anything else, for that matter? It starts by knowing your stuff. And, in Steve’s case, doing it. He was an early competitor in triathlon. He’s a 9-time Ironman finisher with a best time of 9:04 and competed in the Ironman World Championships. In addition to broadcasting, Steve has coached elite athletes and is a founding board member of the Canadian Endurance Sports Alliance. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Steve shares how his athletic career influenced his business career, how he transitioned from corporate work to a broadcasting career, and how he delivers a sense of the moment to his audience. He also offers a point of view on what event organizers should learn from the pandemic era. It’s a story of expertise, resourcefulness, resilience, and, yes, endurance too. And it applies to anyone trying to turn a passion into a profession. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan.

1 Lifting Them Up: The Magic of Mentoring with Bert Thornton, former Waffle House president and COO 48:19
Is there a secret to success? Absolutely. And it's probably not what you may think. Bert Thornton spent 40 years shaping careers (including his own) as Waffle House grew from a few restaurants in the American south to become a pillar of communities around the country. As president and chief operations officer, he believed that the growth of the company relied upon the development of its people. Building leadership skills throughout an organization is both an obligation and an opportunity. Now, there’s a gap between emerging leaders and those who can help guide them along the way. Mentoring can help bridge that gap…and, when done well, it can transform lives and organizations. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Bert shares why mentoring can matter so much, the elements of an effective mentor/mentee relationship, and how to get started. He also covers how to foster creativity within systems…in a way that led to a product that Waffle House sells 11 million times a year. Bert is author of Find An Old Gorilla: Pathways Through the Jungle of Business and Life . The book is an essential guide for rising high achievers. He collaborated with Dr. Sherry Hartnett to write High-Impact Mentoring: A Practical Guide to Creating Value in Other People’s Lives . Available here: https://highimpactmentoringbook.com/ Bert currently serves as vice chairman emeritus of Waffle House, the largest full-service, 24-hour, sit-down restaurant in the world. He has served on the boards of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, the Georgia Tech Foundation, the Studer Community Institute, and the Museum School of Avondale Estates. He was a college football player at Georgia Tech and served in the US Army. “Ships don’t drift into port. And good people don’t drift into important positions. Both require guidance and support.” “See my friends, see my future. One of the most common questions I’m asked is this: is there one thing to do, a silver bullet for success? The answer is yes, surround yourself with successful people. The most important thing, though, the gold bullet for success, is to find a good mentor.” “My happiest friends aren’t the ones who play the most golf. They’re the ones who live a life of gratitude and reciprocation. Appreciating what they have and committed to helping others get to where they want to go.” “Two kinds of people in the world: a sink and a source. A sink absorbs energy and brings things down. A source radiates energy and brings people up.” What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan.

Camilla Barnard believes people should be able to feel good about loving food, not guilty. Her starting point was one of those good-for-you foods that may not taste so good: muesli. Trouble is that muesli is a commodity category dominated by big food companies, famous brands, and basic store products. Few would have the audacity to start there. She wasn’t a veteran of the food industry nor an expert in consumer marketing. And yet, her company, Rude Health, has become a familiar sight on store shelves and shopping baskets across the UK and Europe. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Camilla talks about how not knowing can be a strength, how Instagram has changed consumer behavior, and how creativity and attitude often leads to better solutions than expertise alone. Camilla Barnard co-founded Rude Health in London in 2005 with her husband, Nick. Rude Health is on a mission to make the healthy choice a celebration, not a sacrifice, with their range of over 75 foods and drinks and a team of 45 glass-half-fullers. As well as being a full-time mum of two, Camilla is the creative brain behind the business’s marketing and brand development and is on a mission to inspire everyone to be in rude health by joyfully challenging the assumption that health food has to be bland and boring.

Jasmine Burton is an industrial designer by training and a social impact designer by choice. She’s a believer that design can help solve important societal problems…and that the next iPhone or app isn’t necessarily one of them. Instead, she’s taking on one of the biggest health problems in the world and one that, ironically, has also had little innovation over the years: sanitation. In college, she founded Wish For WASH, a social impact startup intended to bring innovation to sanitation. She and her team won a 6-figure innovation prize. Within weeks, they were working on the ground in Africa to test their designs. She has since worked in Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia, and the US. Her innovation success and willingness to take on big nasty problems, like sanitation, is quite a story. That’s why Jasmine has delivered more than 130 speeches on global stages and has been featured by the likes of CNN, Fast Company, TedX, and Wired. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Jasmine talks about “design as functional art”, “designing for dignity”, and offers a perspective on the role that companies, institutions, and individuals should play in integrating social good into daily work. She seeks to couple design thinking and business acumen with evidence-based science to accelerate access to universal health and sanitation for all. Along with serving as CEO of Wish For WASH , Jasmine is founder of The Hybrid Hype, a woman-owned global consulting firm which brings a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving. She’s currently social enterprise fellow at Emory University. She earned a master’s degree in public health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine where she was a Rotary Global Grant Scholar. She is an industrial and product design graduate of Georgia Tech. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan.

1 Culture, Race, and Cooperation: Setting Aside Fear to Get to Understanding with UCLA Professor Gaye Theresa Johnson 57:13
The world today is deeply divided over politics, covid, race, culture, values, religion, and many other issues. Bridging that chasm is perhaps harder than it’s ever been and yet maybe never more important than it is right now. Dr. Gaye Theresa Johnson of UCLA shares a perspective that fear overhangs much of that discord and recognizing the source of that fear is vital to building cooperation. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Dr. Johnson talks about the capacity for compassion that we all have and how we can find ways to tap it. She gets into how to approach important conversations with curious mindset rather than a furious one. She covers how we can turn to our own history for examples of cooperation across boundaries. She talks about the power of kindness and compassion. And she makes the case of learning from the young in their ability to find joy in everyday life. Dr. Johnson is an expert on race, cultural politics, and freedom struggles as well as the connections between them. She is Associate Professor of Chicana/o and Central American Studies and an affiliate in the Department of African American Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles. She is the author of three books: Spaces of Conflict, Sounds of Solidarity: Music, Race, and Spatial Entitlement; Futures of Black Radicalism; and the forthcoming Rings of Dissent. She’s an in-demand speaker, award winning faculty member, and teaches one of the most popular courses at UCLA. When you listen to this episode, you’ll easily understand why.

Good health has never been more important or as top of mind as it has been this past year. And many folks wish they’d taken care of their health before they lost it. “Most people think disease is instantaneous,” said Dr. Richard Harris. However, many physical ailments can take years to develop. Lifestyle choices have a profound impact on health and quality of life. While lifespan is a common focus, Dr. Harris says that striving for health span – the duration of one’s good health – is even more important. His mission is to help people live better quality lives and to recognize how the choices they make can affect their health. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , Dr. Harris talks about the primary obstacles to healthy living, how the mental side of health affects the physical, health span versus lifespan, and four simple steps each person can take to help improve their health. Dr. Richard Harris is an internal medicine physician, pharmacist, and an expert in holistic lifestyle medicine. A “double doc”, he is a graduate of the McGovern School of Medicine (MD), University of Texas at Austin (Doctor of Pharmacy), and the University of Houston (MBA). Along with his medical practice, he is founder of Great Health & Wellness, Harris Medical Consultants, Managing Director of New Spectrum Educational Consultants, and co-founder of the 40 Acres Fund.

Oli Russell-Cowan was on a mission. It was also his honeymoon. He and his wife were roaming around North, Central, and South America with a plan to surf, see the sights, and experience culture. While surfing and sightseeing were pretty straightforward, they found it hard to find good information about special events like the Day of the Dead in Mexico City. That sparked an idea for a blog, which became a business, and eventually a platform intended to share information, experiences, and logistical help for travelers looking for action sports, music festivals, and cultural events around the world. The company, Rad Season , was the first one-stop shop for checking out and booking all things rad. Then Covid triggered the shutdown in travel and the cancellation of more than 900 events on Rad Season’s global calendar. While the events were down, interest and participation in many of the activities that Rad Season was built around hit new heights. Running an events company when there were no events was a massive challenge. And also an opportunity. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the guests on What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin and Simon Daw , it’s this: no matter the obstacles, these people always find a way. In this episode, Oli talks about the evolution of Rad Season: from the uncertainty of the beginning, to the acceleration with partners and events, and then shifting gears as covid came on. Resilience and adaptability are important in any business and so are the lessons that Oli shares. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan.

What brand of blanket do you have at home? If you’re like most people, you have no idea. If you’re Wylie Robinson then you’re out to change that. Wylie is founder and CEO of Rumpl, the brand of blanket that most people will want when they see it. It all started in a blizzard. Stranded in a vehicle that wouldn’t start and – of course out of cellphone range – Wylie was inspired to create blankets out of the same high-performance material used in sleeping bags and puffy outdoor jackets. The resulting product ultimately became Rumpl and is now sold in outdoor retailers and online. Rumpl became so sought after that the staff at Shark Tank spent four years pursuing him to appear on the show…which he did. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw , Wylie talks about how his architecture education prepared him for a role as a designer and eventually to create Rumpl. He shares advice for aspiring entrepreneurs (two hints: be ready to hustle and create a narrative and a story around your business). He also talks about appearing on Shark Tank and why he turned down a deal. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan.

Why is learning another language so difficult? The challenge starts at the beginning…of life. Babies aren’t born with a specific language but they are equipped to learn from what they hear. The sounds and words they hear from parents and caregivers are vital to their development of language. In fact, babies quickly learn to lock in on familiar sounds and those make up the building blocks of language. All good, right? Sounds they aren’t exposed to never become part of their verbal repertoire. Years later, as they try to learn another language those unfamiliar sounds become obstacles to their progression. The solution isn’t trying to teach babies multiple languages. It’s a lot simpler than that and yet ingenious. Dean Koch and the team at smallTalk have found a way to engage infants in interactive language learning. “When a baby is in an environment where they can interact with two or more languages, they benefit for a lifetime. Infancy is the only time of life where this language interaction really changes the brain.” The company has developed a line of products to enable infants to engage with a foreign language. Dean is Co-Founder and CEO of smallTalk . He has also served as Venture Partner at Jumpstart Inc, Co-Founder and CEO of Cervilenz, VP Marketing at Adeza Biomedical, Strategist for Ionica Sciences, and mentor at Esperanza and College Now Greater Cleveland. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw , Dean talks about his entrepreneurial journey, the changing risk/reward tradeoff of entrepreneurship, and the mission of smallTalk to set babies up on a lifelong pathway of language learning.
