Peter Sheahan is one of the smartest people I know, and the perfect choice for our first podcast guest of 2018. An expert on business transformation, he runs Karrikins Group with staff in more than 23 cities across seven countries. He is the author of seven bestselling books, including the recently released ‘Matter: Move Beyond the Competition, Create More Value, and Become the Obvious Choice’. When our paths crossed again recently, we caught up over a meal and spent some time debating recent market moves by players like Amazon and CVS, and what it really takes for established companies to fundamentally reinvent themselves.

## [How to ask better questions](https://www.mike-walsh.com/podcast/michael-bungay-stanier)

Sometimes the hardest thing for any leader to do, is to actually do nothing and just listen. For Michael Bungay Stanier, a bestselling author and a world-leading expert on coaching - the best way to engage someone in a meaningful conversation is to know the right questions to ask. Speaking with me over a coffee in Toronto, Michael (who left Australia 25 years ago to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University) explained the 7 simple questions that leaders should start with, and that where explored in his latest book, ‘The Coaching Habit’. My own question was perhaps a little more troubling: why will coaching still be important in the algorithmic, AI-dominated companies of tomorrow?

## [Empathy, curiosity and the persistently human future of work](https://www.mike-walsh.com/podcast/jason-fox)

If, at first, you are unconvinced of Dr Fox’s biographical assertion that he is a ‘modern day wizard-rogue’, you will certainly, when presented in the flesh, be assured by his impressive beard. Bestselling author of ‘The Game Changer’ and ‘How to Lead a Quest: a handbook for pioneering executives’, Jason is a thoroughly unconventional thinker on leadership, creativity and designing 21st century work environments. We caught up in London to talk about how we might need to reimagine the idea of work, in the post-algorithmic rubble of the robot job apocalypse.

## [Creative friction, Depeche Mode and why the future loves small ideas](https://www.mike-walsh.com/podcast/magnus-lindkvist)

![Magnus.jpg](https://www.mike-walsh.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Between%20Worlds/Magnus.jpg?width=1024&name=Magnus.jpg)

 

Magnus is a cool guy. As a fellow futurist, speaker and writer, we had met another times professionally over the years, in a variety of cities - but most recently in Kuala Lumpur, we got to properly hang out, and talk about a wide range of seemingly unconnected, but hopefully interesting things. Magnus is Director for Trendspotting and Future Thinking at Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship, and an active member of TED. His most recent book Minifesto (2016) tells us why small ideas matter in the world of grand narratives.

Jeremy Philips is the epitome of smart money. He is currently a General Partner of [Spark Capital](http://www.sparkcapital.com/), which is behind disruptive innovators like Slack and Wealthfront, but many would know him from his provocative [column](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/business/dealbook/the-frightful-five-arent-so-scary-as-long-as-theyre-competing.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fanother-view&action=click&contentCollection=dealbook&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection) in the New York Times. Prior to Spark, Jeremy co-founded ecorp, Australia’s leading, publicly traded Australian internet company, and was also Executive Vice President at News Corporation, focusing on digital strategy and acquisitions. We caught up for a coffee in New York, to talk about the difference between true disruption and great execution, whether we should be frightened about the ‘frightful five’, and what it takes to gain competitive advantage in a networked age.
