It’s not often that you have the chance to benefit from the sweeping perspective of someone who has been in the same profession for 50 years, but that is the fortunate circumstance we find ourselves in on this episode of Raise the Line. Our guest, Dr. Jim Gordon, describes the remarkable evolution of physical therapists from being limited to hospital-based, post-op rehabilitation to becoming community-based providers of choice in a wide and growing list of specialties from orthopedics to oncology. “We have established ourselves as essential actors in the healthcare system. We have the education and research behind us, but most important, I think we have credibility among other healthcare professionals and with patients.” As the leader of one of the top ranked physical therapy programs in the US at the University of Southern California, Gordon is in a position to shape the future of the field as well. As he tells host Hillary Acer, he sees a greater role for physical therapists in prevention and primary care, and also expects changes in the application of new technologies in neurorehabilitation, his area of specialty. “What we’re trying to do is not look at technologies as a solution in and of themselves and instead develop a patient-centered approach which focuses on how people are able to use these technologies to make their lives better.” Don’t miss this great opportunity for a unique look at the current and future state of a vital part of the healthcare system from a leading figure in the field.

This week Andrew talks with entrepreneur & aerospace engineer Jordan Noone. In 2015, Jordan co-founded Relativity Space to build 3D printed reusable rockets — based on an initial concept drawn on the back of a coffee shop receipt. The company went on to build & launch the world’s first 3D printed rocket and today is valued at over $4 billion. Jordan is also the co-founder & general partner at Embedded Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in early-stage tech startups focused on space operations, digital engineering, & advanced manufacturing. In this conversation, Jordan shares how he turned a passion for “tinkering” and a love for Legos into the world’s first 3D printed rocket. You’ll hear powerful lessons about starting companies, building teams, & how to give yourself a “head start” on any project or venture. This conversation is about entrepreneurship, innovation, the power of following your passions, & so much more.

Whatever we do in our work or in our life, we're all selling something. Influencing others is selling. Getting buy-in is selling. Teaching is selling. Sharing an idea you're passionate about is selling. And when you ask people who they think is the best salesperson on the planet, alive or dead, most commonly they say 'Martin Luther King Jr.', 'Steve Jobs', 'Jesus'. Selling isn't only about selling products and services.

Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown sought out some of the most successful people from all walks of life, CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, trial lawyers, professional athletes, military leaders, and countless others in the hope of understanding why they're so extraordinary. They found that as different as all these incredible people were, they all had an eerily similar approach to selling. It didn't matter if they were perceived as optimists or pessimists, logical or emotional, introverted or extraverted, jovial or stoic - they were all unsold on what it meant to sell and unsold on who people expected them to be.

Colin and Garrett’s book 'The Unsold Mindset - Redefining What It Means To Sell', just newly published, reveals a counterintuitive approach to not just selling, but life. This book is a journey toward an entirely new mindset — because the greatest sellers on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think.

Colin and Garrett are now professors at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. And they teach a fantastically popular class, Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs. They’ve both worked in a variety of emerging technology companies and were senior leaders in an identity management software as a service company called Bitium which was acquired in 2017 by Google. They’ve been on an incredible journey ever since.

We talk about chirality, how some molecules have left-handed properties and others have right-handed properties.  It turns out that electrons, carrying energy and information vital to life, spin in different directions when interacting with these two types of molecules and harnessing that effect could lead to big advances in energy production, agriculture and medicine.  Our panelists are two of the leading researchers in the field:  Dr. Ron Naaman of the Weizman Institute of Science and Dr. Moh El Naggar of the University of Southern California.  In a “Town Talk” at the Transfer Warehouse in Telluride, they were interviewed by award-winning broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.
