David Beranek and Maurice Damoin are co-founders of a new startup called DBI Ventures, an investment company committed to growing their clients' money. While I personally invest with DBI, I am also interested in learning more about how they are doing their "Big Thing", and this interview captures many of the struggles and necessities required for a business partnership to be successful. David and Maurice are normal people like you and me - hard workers, have traditional "day jobs", are not funded by rich parents or inheritances. Their passion, integrity and skills combined with their desire to make a positive impact on the world makes them truly unique and amazing dudes!

If you want to learn more about investing with DBI Ventures (and I highly recommend that you do!), you can find them at the links below:

Episode Summary: understand and communicate the 2 reasons why you must adapt and change.

Human beings don’t like to change. It makes us uncomfortable, it’s challenging, it means we might fail. If you want to successfully adapt to a new way of doing something, your starting point should always be understanding WHY you are changing.  This gives people reason to change and creates buy-in.

Episode Summary: Tame uncertainty by opening communication lines and providing direction.

In times of crisis and change, uncertainty abounds. The best way to manage this involves allowing people to voice their frustration and providing a sense of purpose and way forward. People have real feelings and needs, and if they are not addressed, they will never give their best effort in the change. Providing a timeline and direction will provide meaning and direction to keep people moving in the right direction.

Episode Summary: Say where you want to go, not how to get there.

In adaptation situations, you don’t fully know what you should be doing. Wise organizations navigate these situations by understanding the key priorities and considering all possible solutions to get there.

Episode Summary: Get input from your subject matter experts for the best plan

You’re building a plan for something you’ve never done before. The plan better have input from the people who are experts and people executing the plan for the highest degree of success. Don’t expect perfection, and consider all your options.

Episode Summary: Be flexible and aggressively seek feedback for the best chance of success

Don’t expect your plan to go swimmingly. Provide yourself and your teammates latitude to fail and adjust. Highlight the things that are going well. Just as in the beginning, always seek feedback from every level to ensure you are on the right course.

The success of your Big Thing is based on your ability to make good decisions. This podcast breaks down how to approach making decisions, modeling the successful strategies employed by war-winning commanders throughout the ages. We talk about the OODA Loop and how it can help you speed up your decision cycle so you can stay ahead of your opponents.

I've employed the OODA Loop and this type of thinking - trust me, it works.
