cult status

💭 How do you make a meaningful impact as a leader in your organisation?

Tim Duggan describes himself as an optimist who firmly believes in the power of business to do good. He has co-founded several digital media ventures such as Junkee Media, one of Australia’s leading digital publishers for Millennials.

In his first groundbreaking book, Cult Status: How to Build A Business People Adore, Tim shares how adoration comes from having a clear purpose behind what the company stands for, and properly communicating this to its target avatar. This could attract and retain people who believe in what they believe, whether they're employees or their customers. As he spent time working with hundreds of business owners around the world, he realized that these successful businesses followed 7 simple steps:

1. Craft your impact Statement
2. Have that curiosity mindset
3. Refine Your Superpower
4. Define Your Altar
5. Drop Your Bullshit
6. Lead from the Middle
7. Strap Yourself In

In his 2nd groundbreaking book, Tim shares how you can turn ideas into brilliant ones through the acronym Killer: Kind, Impactful, Loved, Lasting, Easy and Repeatable.

🎧 Listen to this episode to learn more about the best practices of successful businesses and the killer ideas they’ve come up with to create a meaningful impact on the world.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode!

Autymn tells us why A Goofy Movie is a black nerd classic. Joe then gives us a dose of queer fan fiction. Then we discuss a microcosm of topics, including:

• the "down low"
• Art Babbitt, the genesis of the Goofy character, minstrelsy, black representation, phrenology AKA the pseudo-science of skull shape & Goofy's bump
• the racism of Disney & why old cartoons aren't on Disney+
• Goofy's mode of existence as proof that mistakes are ok
• parent-child role reversal
• Jeffrey Katzenberg & the checkered history of A Goofy Movie
• A Goofy Movie's marginal placement within the Disney Renaissance & its cult status
• Disney + Miramax = Joe hates (and rants about) Oscar campaigning
• a roast of Gwyneth Paltrow
• childhood afternoon cartoon programming blocks
• the "fork in the road" movie: the movie that thrusts you right into adulthood
