In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague sits down with Ben Crowe, Director at Mojo Crowe, elite performance coach, and author of Where the Light Gets In, to explore what really drives extraordinary performance. Drawing on his work with Nike, Ash Barty, and Richmond Football Club, Ben reveals why vulnerability, psychological safety, and intrinsic motivation can be more powerful than pressure, expectations, and external rewards.

Ben also shares the mindset behind Richmond's remarkable transformation and practical techniques for finding calm and focus in high-stakes moments. Ultimately, this conversation challenges conventional ideas about success, showing why the path to peak performance starts not with becoming more, but with recognizing that you are already enough.

"Leadership is not about having all the answers; it's about creating an environment to help others realize their potential." "Connection is one of the last truly great competitive advantages inside organizational culture because your competitors can't see it, so they can't defend against it."

If the word wrong is in any of those five, it's the quickest way to identify what might be going wrong."

    Special thanks to Triangle for sponsoring this episode. Triangle's founder, Matt, is offering a complimentary one-hour strategy session for founders seeking to grow their personal brand. I can't recommend this service enough, and get in quick as there are only three remaining slots available this month! Get in touch at matt@mattswain.com or book directly at https://www.triangle-branding.com/book-a-call What if the future of business isn't about spotting trends, but understanding the deep cultural currents shaping them? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague is joined by Grant McCracken, Cultural Anthropologist, author, and Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar, to explore the cultural forces shaping the future of business. Drawing on decades of work in anthropology and consumer culture, Grant explains why cultural intelligence is a more powerful predictor of success than traditional trend analysis. He unpacks the return of the artisan, the rise of the craft economy, and the importance of authentic branding in an era of increasing skepticism. The conversation also examines the micropolitan movement, AI-driven disruption, and how businesses can identify emerging cultural trends before competitors. From Alice Waters' influence on foodie culture to the dangers of craft washing and the growing desire for community-driven business, Grant explains how leaders can turn anthropology into a competitive advantage. What You Will Learn: How to read culture as a leading indicator of market opportunity Why "Tailwind Radar" beats traditional trend spotting for navigating chaos The critical difference between authentic artisanal engagement and "craftwashing" How the "micropolitan movement" will reshape where opportunity concentrates Why code-switching masculinity resolves the "failure to launch" crisis How to spot emerging cultural bubbles before they reach mainstream awareness If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. About the Guest: Grant McCracken is the Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar and a renowned cultural anthropologist, author, and thought leader specializing in cultural trends and consumer behavior. With a PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago, he has advised organizations including Google, Netflix, Nike, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and the Obama White House. Grant is the author of fourteen books, including Chief Culture Officer and The Return of the Artisan, which explores the shift toward a more artisanal and community-driven economy. A former affiliate of Harvard Business School and MIT, he helps businesses uncover emerging cultural signals and turn them into strategic opportunities through his seminars, Culture Camp and Ethno Camp. Quotes: "I got my PhD at a time that anthropology was contemplating the possibility of studying its contemporary culture. American culture has changed so often, and so violently in the years I've been watching it that it has been a challenge. Everything's a motion picture, and unless you're using theory capable of capturing motion pictures, you're in real trouble." "Everything that was so successfully anonymous about capitalism was being taken down and replaced by small batches and personal connections. As we climb Maslow's hierarchy, we begin to say, wait, something is missing from the capitalist proposition. Those things are a very personal and intimate connection to our communities and to our commerce, which are accomplished more surely by the artisanal than by conventional markets." "There's a special place in hell marked for people who engage in craft washing. Taking a notion as powerfully transformative as this one and using it for very commercial purposes is especially cynical. Authenticity is too often something that acts like a confinement, which says there's only one way to be artisanal." "For the first time, I heard someone talk about the home and the importance of fortification. People are capturing rainwater, building victory gardens, allowing themselves to feel freestanding. When Ford came out with an armored car selling as a domestic SUV, you could tell they were speaking to people who thought, what if, what if, what if."

    Special thanks to Triangle for sponsoring this episode. Triangle's founder, Matt, is offering a complimentary one-hour strategy session for founders seeking to grow their personal brand. I can't recommend this service enough, and get in quick as there are only three remaining slots available this month! Get in touch at matt@mattswain.com or book directly at https://www.triangle-branding.com/book-a-call What if the feedback culture you're desperate to build is actually being blocked by bias you don't even see? Leadership is not a choice between empathy and accountability; it demands both. In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague speaks with Co-founder of Radical Candor and bestselling author Kim Scott about the principles behind her books Radical Candor and Radical Respect. Kim shares how leaders can build teams grounded in trust, honesty, and psychological safety. Kim explains why respect must come before candid feedback and how managers can distinguish between bias, prejudice, and bullying to respond appropriately. She shares practical strategies for soliciting honest feedback, conducting more effective one-on-ones in hybrid workplaces, and helping employees grow through meaningful career conversations. The discussion also explores why high-performing individuals don't always become great managers and how leaders can create environments where people feel safe to challenge ideas and speak openly. What You Will Learn: The Radical Candor Framework Why Feedback Feels Like Existential Dread Three Distinct Problems Requiring Different Solutions The Four Steps to Soliciting Feedback That Actually Works How Radical Respect Becomes the Foundation for Radical Candor Building Teams Where Everyone Steps Toward Their Dreams Why Managers Must Solicit Feedback First Making It Work in Hybrid Environments If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. About the Guest: Kim Scott is a bestselling author, leadership expert, and co-founder of Radical Candor. She is the author of Radical Candor and Radical Respect, two influential books on management, feedback, and workplace culture. Kim has coached CEOs at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other leading technology companies, served on the faculty at Apple University, and led AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick teams at Google. A TED speaker and podcast host, she helps leaders build high-performing teams through candid communication, mutual respect, and human-centered leadership. Quotes: "If you don't teach that dog to sit, you're gonna kill that dog. And then he pointed at the ground with this kind of harsh gesture, and he said, sit. The dog sat. I had no idea she even knew what that meant. And I kind of looked up at him in amazement, and he said to me, it's not mean. It's clear." "At some level, Radical Candor is about love and truth at the same time. If you care personally and you challenge directly at the same time, that's radical candor. You can be really kind and really successful at the same time; you don't have to choose between being a jackass and being successful." "From the time we get our first job, we're maybe 18, 19, 20 years old, right when our egos are maximally fragile. Someone comes along and says, be professional. I think an awful lot of us leave our emotions, leave who we really are, leave our humanity at home, and show up at work like some kind of robot. And you can't possibly care personally if you're showing up at work like some kind of robot." "Radical respect is sort of the prequel to radical candor. The most helpful feedback I got was from a CEO colleague who explained that as soon as she would give even the most compassionate, gentle criticism, they would call her an angry black woman. In that moment, I realized I hadn't been the kind of colleague I wanted to be, and that I had been in denial about disrespectful attitudes happening around me."
