In tranquil Kent vineyards, dreams turned reality, 20k bottles yearly at spots like Fortnum & Mason. This podcas goes beyond; it's a testament to foresight. As summer nears, let's toast to resilience & innovation. Apologies for the silence, we're back to inspire #HerbertHallWines

A big bias that holds people back:
Addition bias
The tendency to ADD when faced with a problem.
We add people, processes, actions, slack channels.
But it's a trap.
Subtract for success.
Do less.
Cut things out.
Make space for greatness.
Meet Gemma Johnston, ffounder at She is Action. #Resilience, for Gemma, is like navigating a busy intersection: always ready to switch lanes. With the Olympics approaching, She is Action isn't just riding the wave; they're steering it. Join the journey! #Pivoting #WomenInSports

Pinterest founder Ben Silbermann: “It can take a really, really long time to build things that are worthwhile.”
“In March 2010, we launched Pinterest and were at 3,000 accounts. And that wouldn’t have been so bad if we hadn’t started building Pinterest in November 2009. And that wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t left my job to start a company in May 2008.”

The Reddit IPO & partnership with Google has a lot of people talking.
Here’s my favorite marketing use case for Reddit that many overlook:

Naval Ravikant shares the most valuable advice he’s received
When asked about the best advice he’s ever received, @naval says he first ignored it.
“It's the same [piece of advice] that everyone who's been in the business for a long time and has a lot of gray hairs tells you… whether it's Warren Buffett telling you about public investing or whether it's an experienced venture capitalist telling you about private investing… They'll all tell you, ‘It’s the people, stupid.’”
There are three qualities to look for in a partner: intelligence, energy, and integrity.
“You need all three. You can't compromise on any one of them. Otherwise, you'll end up with either someone who's not smart (which does you no good) or someone who's not hardworking (which also does you no good) or the worst case is you end up with a smart, hardworking crook who ends up working against your interests…”

Brian Chesky on how to build strong cofounder relationships
“We [Airbnb cofounders] had a rule. The rule was that winning an argument was never more important than preserving the relationship. And the reason that's important is because if you start a company, you're going to have to debate a hundred thousand things... so no one argument can be the thing. There has to be this larger sense that we're a band.”
@bchesky likens strong relationships to exercise.
“I think you gotta really work hard at the relationship, almost like exercising. If you don't keep exercising, you get out of shape. We worked really, really hard. And one of the things we did in 2009 is we said every single Sunday we're gonna meet, no matter how busy we get, and to this day, we still do those calls.”
Constant contact, connection, and respect are critical.
“I think a lot of human connection requires constant contact, constant connection, a deep sense of respect, a sense that I'm only here because of them, a sense of humility and gratitude, and a sense that I'm never going to try to win. Because if I win alone, I'm not going very far.”

Need help scaling your business and polishing skills in your career... Need a mentor or a mentee...bit.ly/491u7id #femaleFounders #personaldevelopment #CurateYourCareer #networking
Last week we spoke with Mildred one of the speakers at the #NNL event – happening on 14/11. 2 weeks to grab your ticket – you know who you are! Please don’t email Nurture Network the evening before asking to come in to meet @NagaMunchetty or @KennyImafidon or the other businesses including who will be in the room…
So, Mildred spoke about challenges in her career and the issues with not– not speaking up in important meetings, not “networking” internally with the right people and saying no to opportunities she didn’t feel ready for. Working super hard in her career and waiting for her hard work to “speak” for her. And above all she talks about not really being aware of any of this…
Anyone here feeling this.
Go read Mildred’s The Short Cut about what she did to have her voice be heard.
We love the work she does today supporting women to step out of the shadows and into the limelight in their work lives through being visible on LinkedIn and life more importantly – go read her short cut and come and meet her in person. She will be at Nurture Network Live giving her insights on Imposter Syndrome – helping you unleash the leader within…
Its not too late come join us…
