  • Change is necessary, even desirable, but when it happens so fast, it feels like it is happening to you, not for you. That’s scary. But it shouldn’t need to feel this way. What Whitney Johnson has learned, having been an analyst on Wall Street, and co-founding an investment firm with Harvard’s Clayton Christensen, is that the framework of disruptive innovation, that we apply to companies, is, at a high level, a framework for managing change, beginning with the individual. She’s spent the last five years researching and codifying a framework of personal disruption, so that whether you are scaling a business, trying to get your people to be more innovative, or just trying to manage your career you have a structure for doing this. Tune in to Disrupt Yourself Live with Whitney Johnson on VoiceAmerica Business for stories from the front lines and practical tips on how to not only cope with but harness and ride the waves of change.

  • Bootstrapping Your Way to Success

    Bootstrapping Your Way to Success
    Apr 30 2018
    Susan Petersen started making baby moccasins in 2009 after becoming frustrated by the lack of well-designed baby shoes. Using her second child, Gus, as a mocc-tester, and a bag of scrap leather she picked up at a yard sale, she began experimenting. Working at her kitchen table, Susan persisted until she had created a pair of moccasins that not only looked adorable on Gus’ chubby little feet, but stayed on as well. Money was tight at the time Susan started and in order to earn money to start her business she got resourceful. Her brother owns a window installation business and in the summer of 2009 she convinced him to let her keep the old windows that he was removing from the houses. She spent a whole summer banging the glass out of the windows because they were encased in aluminum frames. At the end of the summer she took the aluminum window frames to the scrap yard and recycled them to get money. She made $200 dollars and with that literal sweat equity, she started her business.

  • Constraints as Tools of Creation

    Constraints as Tools of Creation
    Apr 23 2018
    Constraints are a tool of creation and innovation and successful disruptors embrace constraint as an ally, rather than battling limitation as an enemy. Nobody needs to be creative more than someone who plies their trade in the arts. Award-winning novelist, poet and playwright Orson Scott Card joins Whitney Johnson to discuss the writer’s craft, its constraints, and how those constraints can be a spur to greater creativity. Orson is a prolific writer, but most famous for Ender’s Game, sequel Speaker for the Dead—and the rest of the Enders series—both of which won Hugo and Nebula Awards and made Orson Scott Card the only author to ever win both in two consecutive years. From word counts to publisher demands to the desire and need to make a living from creative work, Whitney and Orson will peel back the myth about constraint’s power to derail us and expose the truth about how restrictions can be an innovative disruptor’s best friends.
