Ted Zhao and I chat about what it takes to have productive coffee chats and networking conversations. Ted is a friend and colleague of mine at TELUS, and it was a pleasure to chat with him about this topic. Some of the other questions we discussed included: Am I putting a friend in an awkward position if I ask them to connect me with someone they know or refer them for a job at their company? Do you think it ever makes sense to apply blindly to a role, or should you always try to network by reaching out to either the hiring manager or someone at the company? What questions should I ask the hiring manager when I reach out to them for a coffee chat? How much should I talk about myself and my own experience during the chat? How can I return the favour when someone agrees to have a coffee chat with me? What’s the number one obstacle why people don’t network and reach out to help? Are you a bad person if you don’t respond to networking requests? How honest should you be when people ask how you like your job? How well do you have to know someone to send them a connection request on LinkedIn? How well do you have to know them to ask them to connect you with someone?

In this episode, Daniel Holley and I discuss whether it is worthwhile to hire a career coach. Daniel is a performance coach and has his own podcast . You can learn more about him here . Follow-up questions we discussed included: 8:45: How does someone decide that they deserve a coach and that they should invest in one if it's a luxury? 14:15: How should I person decide between a coach, a mentor, a therapist, or a combination of those? 19:00: Would you recommend people just try out a coach to see if they think it's worthwhile for them? 22:45: What are your thoughts on 'the grass is always greener mentality'? How often in your own experience coaching do you find that you're helping people realize that they can actually be happier with what they have already? 28:00: Do you find that what a person wants sometimes changes from when you first talk to them, and then they reflect, and they realize that it's actually something else that they really want? 33:40: What is something extravagant that you would buy if you got a $20,000 unexpected bonus at work? (asked me) 34:30: Where would you go on vacation, and why there? (asked me) 35:15: What does nature do for you? (asked me) 35:35: Why did you say specifically Africa for your vacation? (asked me) 36:15: What's your ideal spot you'd like to go to? (asked me) 36:25: So the reason you picked this place is being you want to be more present? (asked me) 40:10: Have you found that the feeling of being respected is often at the root of what people want? 42:05: Let's say someone wants to spend money on personal development, and that could come in the form of buying books, signing up for different courses or you could get a life coach or personal coach; what are your thoughts on deciding between those options? How do you think about tradeoffs between those? Would you suggest someone tries them all and sees what they find most valuable? 48:20: For people who can afford a coach but haven't gotten one yet, how much of it do you think is maybe a view from them that it's not going to be worthwhile to them vs. how much of it might be a view from them that they're afraid of people looking like they don't have things figured out for themselves and that they need help from someone else? 51:50: Any books or resources or videos you often recommend to people around self-improvement or self-development? 57:10: In closing, anything you were hoping to talk about that we didn't get around to?

In this episode, Dan Seider shares his thoughts on how technology and mental health may intersect in the future. Dan also shares his vision for Misu , an automated mood tracker he’s built. Follow-up questions we discussed included: 5:15: Do you want people to use Misu to reflect on their mood and decide which they want to use less often? How have you used Misu so far? 7:10: What would you say to someone who’s trying to weigh the privacy concerns of using an automated mood tracker against the benefits of becoming more aware of how apps are influencing us? 10:00: What’s the difference between Facebook and Misu? What led Facebook down its current path and how will you ensure that Misu continues to be good for its users? 12:40: You’ve talked about your vision for Misu being to track fitness and sleep against mood as well. Is your goal to partner with companies/products like Fitbit and Apple Health to do this? 14:45: Do you see pushback from social media platforms against Misu? 18:30: What’s your preference for the future business model of Misu - government funding, freemium consumer model, or both? 19:40: Do you think ad models are inherently an issue (i.e. incentives aren’t aligned with customers), or can subscription models be just as harmful? 23:05: How much of what you’re trying to solve with Misu is (a) eliminate the difficult habit of remembering manually tracking your mood, (b) getting a more accurate picture of what’s actually driving your mood, or (c) hold apps accountable for their impact on our well-being? 26:20: What are some of the biggest challenges you’re currently facing with Misu? 29:10: Are you not able to get camera permissions on phones (in the same way you can on laptops)? 30:25: Do you know why Apple allows background camera usage on Mac yet not on iPhone? 31:45: How long do you think the tech has existed for a product like Misu to come to market? 34:00: Have you seen any apps around word tracking, to help you realize which trains of thought are helpful/unhelpful? 46:00: Do you lean towards the freemium model vs. advertising model? 49:55: How confident are you that you’ll be able to overcome the privacy concerns/trust issues consumers have around using a product like Misu? 51:40: Are we doing enough to address the rising rates of mental health in society?
