How Lush is working during this digital era Our guest today is Jack Constantine, the Chief Digital Officer at Lush. Lush is an innovative, ambitious company manufacturing fresh handmade cosmetics. According to its web site, the company's goal is to make Lush (and the wider world) a better, fairer, and more sustainable place. How? By building an ethical, environmentally-friendly, and fair business. I was intrigued by their vision and amazed by Jack's enthusiasm and dedication to making a difference. Lush was founded by his parents, Mark Constantine and Elizabeth Weir. Jack has helped in various sectors of the company but finally found his place as the head of Digital Apartment. He immediately recognized the need to position the company in the online space. It was the beginning of social media and social networking evolution. Jack decided to use that opportunity and interact and communicate with customers. He built great social media channels and community forum, so today Lush is famous for its loyal and dedicated followers called "Lushies." But that didn't come overnight. They have always listened to their customers, being very attentive to their thoughts, needs, and expectations. Communication was one of the keys to their success.

How Dagogo built a YouTube channel with nearly 200.000.000 views I'm following Coldfusion TV for a long time already because I love the documentaries that are created on the channel. To be honest, for the longest time I didn't know that Dagogo is the brain behind. When I heard that he will visit Europe I decided to ask for a podcast interview and got a reply in thirty minutes. Sometimes it is very easy to reach people if you just ask. A few days later Dagogo and I met up in Barcelona for the interview and it was very interesting to understand the journey and the brain behind the channel.

How the Dutch prince works in the startup ecosystem  I first met Constantijn on an event in Berlin and was confused. The Dutch prince is interviewing a rapper on stage.  I had two questions:  What has the Dutch prince to do with startups?  Why is he interviewing and not being interviewed?  After the fireside chat, I approached Constantijn and asked for a podcast interview. As I hadn't had equipment with me, we needed to figure out where we can record in the future.  That's why I flew to Amsterdam one week later and attended thenextweb.com to record an interview with Constantijn. This interview is what I found out as answers to the two questions, I asked myself.  See the full article and more episodes here: https://thevalulab.co Moreover, here are some useful links: You can get the newest strategies and tools here: https://thevaluelab.co/news    Look at our Digital Leaders merch: https://thevaluelab.co/shop  Digital Leaders on YouTube: https://thevaluelab.co/r/youtube/    Digital Leaders Community on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8680696/    Digital Leaders on Instagram: https://instagram.com/digitalleaderspodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/digital-leaders/message

Is Artificial Intelligence a chance or a risk for humankind and businesses? When we mention artificial intelligence (AI), many people think of gloomy future in which machines are completely replacing human workers making an army of unemployed people that are good to nobody and living on the verge of poverty. The question is, are we looking at things in the right perspective? What if artificial intelligence is something that is bringing humanity back to humans? Bringing humans back to their roots? Taking the heavy lifting processes from their shoulders and enabling them to focus on more important things? Freeing them from tedious, repetitive tasks, and giving them a chance to spread their creativity and bring real value?  That is how Marc Teerlink, Global Vice President at SAP sees the goal of artificial intelligence and its development. Marc Teerlink began his professional journey by applying data around observed consumer behavior to statistics. He deeply understood that the value of data would very soon surpass the value of oil. At the same time, he realized data itself is useless if one did not have the knowledge to interpret it. If you know how to interpret and how to use data, which is precisely what artificial intelligence provides, you have a very powerful tool! Data is a driver for growth in today's economy, and only if used in the right perspective, it provides insights that lead to actions which create business value.

How to transform a global player and make it a huge success story In the last 8 to 9 years, Logitech became one of the great success stories regarding the transformation of a corporate. I grew up with Logitech keyboards and mice, but over the years I barely heard fresh news. When I met Bracken at TNW 2018 in Amsterdam (https://thenextweb.com) and listened to his keynote, blew me away. It's incredible how the companies' approach changed since he came in as CEO. That's why I invited Bracken to the show.

Today, our guest is Guy Kawasaki, chief evangelist of Canva.com, brand ambassador of Mercedes–Benz, an executive fellow of the Haas School of Business and author of fifteen books. He is also well known as a former evangelist of Apple and a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation.  We are talking about life, business, family, success in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere, catching the glimpses of wisdom, and having a good laugh. His latest book, Wise Guy – Lessons from a Life is his most personal book. As he says, it’s not a memoir or autobiography but a series of stories from his life. He calls it Miso Soup for the Soul (alluding to Chicken Soup series). He describes his experiences and lessons he learned about life.  His main idea is sharing the knowledge he gained and giving to people something that will empower them and help them grow. Alternatively, at least show them what not to do, what to avoid. Our conversation felt like friendly and humble father-to-son talk in which he wanted to share some useful knowledge but not sound too serious about anything. Moreover, he did a great job! Besides some great advice, his genuinely positive attitude towards life and not taking himself too seriously made a powerful impression. To read the lessons, that Guy talked about you can read the LinkedIn article I published about it.
