How To Actually Go Viral on LinkedIn, gain 20,340 Followers in 7 Days and Lessons in No Bull Shit Strategy - Alex Smith

Monday, September 25, 2023 • Duration 02:03:05

Most strategy is UTTER BULL SHIT.

Shat out by spurious and superfluous #strategists

Peddling putridly perplexing, flabbergasting “frameworks” — make the brain go berserk.

Matrix’s that make you feel like you’ve chomped the orange-what-you-on-about-mate?-pill

“Grab yourself a Costa and a biccy …let’s all sit around synergise and prioritise and sodomise your brain with complexity”

Complexity is EASY.

Simplicity is HARD.

So much strategy complexity.

Alex M H Smith does the HARD job of making strategy EASY.

His new book, “No Bullshit Strategy” is INSANELY DELICIOUS.

A short-snappy, marble-smooth, no bull-shit book on strategy - my brain lit up like a glittering Christmas tree as I briskly sauntered.

The Better news?

Alex is back on the pod.

ON THE MENU:

1. Why challenger food and drink founders spend too much time Zoomed in and *MUST* ZOOM out to see clearly

2. How challenger food and drink founders can set goals that lead to fun adventure vs. constant comparison and beating yourself up.

3. Why you’ll never achieve huge success through hard work

4. How to go viral on LinkedIn, write “I feel seen posts” + Why if it’s not click bait, it's not doing the audience a favour

5. How to find the Strategy secrets + The insight is NEVER a new piece of information - “It's not about what you KNOW. It's what you NOTICE ”

Every top food and drink founder reads our Newsletter - why wouldn't you?

The most mind-blowing conversation I’ve EVER had on challenger leadership.

Julian Metcalfe is contrarian, formidable. A lucid single-mindedness married with a howling grit.

The unique ability to find simplicity in complexity - “complexity is easy, simplicity is hard”

ITSU are at 74 sites solving the obesity pandemic providing healthy, affordable, delicious food.

Total honour to interview Julian.

ON THE MENU:

Why challenger food and drink founders must BE BRAVE and swim upstream, when everyone’s swimming downstream
The principles of empathetic leadership: listening + imagination = look at problems differently
Why complexity is much easier than simplicity - Do less, but do it beautifully = grow faster
Why you must never ever, ever doubt what you can do as a human being - you’re capable of so much more than you think
The process of building great cultures: realise this hard-truth, people work for people, not for your company.
The relentless pursuit of better: accept 99 is not 100, so constantly pursue better
Why brands must grow EXACTLY in proportion in their ability to stay GOOD

Fully eppy goes live Monday. If you enjoy the podcast.
