Lawn chair conversations with A-listers from the worlds of business, media, entertainment, sports and academia. 

Season 2: Ep. 2
A.I. Made Me Do It, or..."Dammit Lekan!"

We throw out a run of show in favor of a discussion about a practical and unexpected application of A.I. that Lekan demonstrated. We discuss what happened and welcome the remarkable Amanda Schneider, President and Founder of ThinkLab.


We discuss the ideas about where work is going and the notion that it's process and not any product that will inform the next wave of how work gets done. Amanda also joins us for our "What's Got Your Attention" feature.


To put it mildly, Amanda is pretty damned cool.

BRILLIANT GUESTS 

TWG asked some of the smartest people in the world to help us help you to be more successful. We promised them snacks and shenanigans. Who could pass that up?

In Season 1, we’ll tailgate and talk truth about leadership, improving competitiveness, the future of work, brand, ethics and the beauty of failing on the way to the corner office. And we'll do it with current and former top brass from companies like Nike, Coca-Cola, Uber and Gatorade. We’ll discuss the power of great storytelling with the story creator behind some of Pixar’s most celebrated animated films, push the buttons of best-selling authors and test the patience of a legendary military leader or two. And that’s just for starters.


24 extraordinary leaders are set to unfold their lawn chairs and hang with us. We're gonna need more weiners and Pringles.

TOLERABLE HOSTS

Well-connected, successful and overly talkative. Being upstaged by their guests bothers them only slightly.  

Ken Schmidt

Keynote Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Leadership Consultant. Buys all of his clothes at airports. 

Martin Flaherty

Consultant, Strategist, Counsel to Executive Leadership Teams. Grows vegetables and eats them. 

Lekan Bashua

Serial Entrepenur, Google Director, tech expert and consultant to start ups. On Clubhouse day and night.

The NOISEBOX, LLC & f3

From consulting, to speaking, to growing the next smart new business. Here's what else we're doing.

As if they didn't have enough to do already, Ken and Martin co-founded TORQUE SESSIONS -- highly-interactive training engagements for executive leaders wanting to reposition their businesses to create distance from competitors, maximize profitability and strengthen customer and employee loyalty. Check it out.

Content. Community. Capital: Three things (among countless others) that drive Lekan. He's hugely passionate about building early stage companies with underestimated founders and his well-recognized super power is recognizing trends early and swooping in to take advantage of them. Plus he gets huge points for tolerating Ken and Martin. (Secretly, he's just as difficult :-)

Stay Connected

We'll ping you with only content related to the show. And maybe the occasional cat video (but that's not all that often).
