There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who copy other people’s businesses and those who create an entirely new market. When you disrupt an existing market, you run the risk of being lumped in with your competitors. For example, you can probably name five of your local coffee shops off the top of your head.  While some entrepreneurs thrive off of copying other business ideas, the most successful businesses are the ones who solve a problem that nobody else has solved. If your business idea is completely original, then whoever needs your product will come to you because nobody else is filling that hole in the market.  Over the years, Jim McKelvey has become an expert at building businesses that solve problems no one else is addressing. He has founded several groundbreaking businesses like Square and LaunchCode, both of which fill a hole in their respective markets.  In this episode of YAP Classic, Hala and Jim break down the two different types of entrepreneurs.

He also founded Invisbily, LaunchCode, and Third Degree Glass Factory. He still serves as the owner of all seven companies he started, but does not hold a leadership position at any of them. In 2017, he was appointed as an independent director of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.  He’s the author of three books, the most popular being The Innovation Stack, an inside look into the world of entrepreneurship that details Square’s battle with Amazon. He also wrote The Birth of Baking, a graphic novel about The Bank of America’s conception, and The Art of Fire, a beginner’s guide to glassblowing.  Sponsored By: The Jordan Harbinger Show - Check out jordanharbinger.com/start for some episode recommendations Indeed - Visit Indeed.com/YAP to start hiring now.

Regret is one of the most common negative emotions we experience as humans. Yet, most people are reluctant to explore or even talk about their regrets with others because of the growing ‘no regrets’ philosophy that demonizes the presence of regret.  However, when used properly, regret can be a powerful tool by illuminating where our values and priorities lie, which can help us avoid making the same mistakes in the future.  If you want to transform your regrets into actionable advice and change the way you live your life, you won’t want to miss this interview with Daniel Pink, bestselling author and expert on regret.  Daniel is the author of five books, most recently The Power of Regret, which outlines how regret can reveal the pathway to living our best life. He is also the creator of The American Regret Project and The World Regret Survey, which have interviewed thousands of people about their biggest regrets in life.  In this episode of YAP, Daniel and Hala talk about why we need regret and what it can teach us. They dive into the four foundational regrets and why people experience regrets of inaction far more than regrets of action. They discuss how to reframe your self-talk in order to cultivate compassion for yourself and how to consult your future self to make informed decisions.  Topics Include: - “Me search”  - How we process regret  - Counterfactuals  - The only people who don’t have regrets  - Why do we need regret?  - The problem with the ‘no regrets’ worldview  - The American Regret Project  - The World Regret Survey  - Four foundational regrets  - Why we should push past awkwardness  - Regrets of action vs. inaction  - Consulting your future self  - Mental subtraction  - And other topics… Daniel Pink is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and thought leader. In 2011, he was named one of Thinkers50’s top 50 most influential minds. He was also the host and co-executive of the television series “Crowd Control,” a National Geogrpahic program about human behavior that aired in more than 10 countries.

Negotiations don’t always take place in a conference room. A negotiation is simply a discussion where both parties come to an agreement, so we are negotiating all the time. Something as small as talking to family about who’s bringing what to Christmas dinner is a negotiation!  And negotiations are not entirely verbal. Whether we realize it or not, we are influencing every negotiation with how we present ourselves.  Through paying more attention to our body language, our word choice, and the way we frame information, we can intentionally evoke more information from others, which can help us establish trust and build stronger relationships!  This episode of YAP Snacks will feature several pieces of negotiating advice from Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator and CEO of The Black Swan Group, where he’s using his extensive career in international crisis mitigation and high-stakes negotiation situations to teach people how to better negotiate and refine their communication style.  Stay tuned to find out more about refining your communication style to get what you want in everyday negotiations!  Topics include: - Tone of voice - Mirroring - Emotional labeling - How to use the words ‘I’m sorry’ - What does the word ‘fair’ really mean? - Why you shouldn’t match people’s energy - Lying to gain influence - And other topics… Sponsored by -  Delta Air Lines - Visit delta.com/travelwell to learn more.

How many times have you set a goal for yourself that you didn’t follow through on? How many ideas are swirling around in your head, waiting to be brought to life?  Too often, we keep our goals trapped inside our minds. We have a vivid image of what we want, but because we don’t know how to get there, we don’t try.  Casper Craven came onto YAP to talk about how to set massive goals for ourselves and follow through with them. Caspar has sailed around the world twice, so he is well-versed in turning the impossible into the possible. He has also built several million-dollar companies and delivers keynotes on motivation, goal setting, work/life balance, mental health, and resilience.  In this episode of #YAPClassic, Hala and Caspar talk about how to hold yourself accountable for achieving your goals. He gave tips on how to handle criticism constructively and why deadlines are crucial when starting ambitious new projects. He also revealed one of his best memories from his journey with his family, some of the challenges they ran into, and how they overcame them. Finally, he told Hala about how to build meaningful core values both in your company and in your home.  Topics Include: - Caspar’s life before setting sail around the world  - How did he and his wife save their marriage?  - Why deadlines are always necessary  - Making your goals public  - Dealing with criticism  - Using business values in family life  - Building meaningful company values  - Caspar’s best memories from sailing around the world  - Challenges at sea  - Channeling family values amid crises  - Developing emotional resilience  - And other topics… Casper Craven is a serial entrepreneur and motivational and teamwork keynote speaker.

He spent more than 10 years in Professional Services, including five years at KPMG Corporate Finance. During his five years of travel preparation, he built three $1 million businesses - one of which he sold for a seven-figure sum while sailing across the Pacific Ocean.  He has sailed around the world twice, the first time on a trophy-winning race yacht and the second with his wife and three children, who were all under the age of ten at the time. He wrote his first book, Where The Magic Happens, about the process of planning and executing his family’s global adventure.  Resources Mentioned: YAP episode #14: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/14-anchor-your-success-with-caspar-craven/id1368888880?i=1000427679742  Caspar’s Website: https://www.casparcraven.com/  Caspar’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/casparcraven/  Caspar’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cravencaspar/  Caspar’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/casparcraven Caspar’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/casparcraven  Caspar’s book, Where The Magic Happens: https://www.amazon.com/Where-Magic-Happens-Family-Changed/dp/1472949919  More About Young and Profiting Download Transcripts - youngandprofiting.com   Get Sponsorship Deals - youngandprofiting.com/sponsorships Leave a Review - ratethispodcast.com/yap Watch Videos - youtube.com/c/YoungandProfiting Follow Hala Taha LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/htaha/ Instagram - instagram.com/yapwithhala/ TikTok - tiktok.com/@yapwithhala Twitter - twitter.com/yapwithhala Learn more about YAP Media Agency Services - yapmedia.io/ Join Hala's LinkedIn Masterclass - yapmedia.io/course

Too many people are stuck in the past: old ideas, old technologies, and old ways of living. When we don’t embrace change, we don’t grow or evolve. Accepting change and using it to fuel our growth is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves in every area of our lives.  But how can we resist our natural inkling toward predictability and become comfortable with change?  To answer that question, Hala invited Jason Feifer, a champion of change, onto Young and Profiting podcast. Jason is the editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. He hosts two podcasts that focus on how to take hold of change and use it to your advantage. He’s also the author of the newly released book, Build For Tomorrow, which outlines how to use the power of change to your advantage using wisdom from some of the brightest minds in the world.  In this episode of YAP, Hala and Jason talk about how entrepreneurial thinking differs from the rest of the population, and how embracing entrepreneurial thinking can help you find more opportunities that you wouldn’t otherwise have seen, even if you’re not an entrepreneur. They explain how to stack your skills in order to open new doors for yourself, why we resist change, and how humanity has resisted change throughout history. He also explains how we can use failure as data and view new situations as temporary experiments rather than permanent commitments.  Topics Include: - How well do you really know your audience?  - Why Jason renamed one of his podcasts  - Opportunity Set B - Parkinson’s Law  - Seeing loss as opportunity - Viewing opportunities as temporary experiments  - Defining traits of an entrepreneur  - Using failure as data  - The truth about time management  - The 1907 Teddy bear crisis - Jason’s actionable advice for becoming more profitable  - And other topics… Jason Feifer is the Editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and champion of change. He has led an extensive career as a journalist, working at publications such as Fast Company, Men’s Health, and Maxim Magazine. He hosts two podcasts: Build For Tomorrow and Problem Solver.  Earlier this year, he released a book called Build For Tomorrow that outlines how humanity has rejected and embraced change over time. His goal is to help you become more resilient and adaptable in a world of constant change — so you can seize new opportunities before anyone else does!
