Chuck Blakeman is a successful entrepreneur, best-selling business author and world-renowned business advisor who has built ten businesses in seven industries on four continents, and now uses his experience to advise others. His company, Crankset Group, provides outcome-based mentoring and peer advisory for business leaders worldwide.
He has written two best-selling books titled Making Money is Killing Your Business and Why Employees are Always a Bad idea which have both been #1 and top ten rated business books.
Chuck writes thought provoking books and blog posts. His writing, ideas and philosophy rattle my brain in a good way. I have provided links below to his published work online with New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, Success Magazine and my favorites, which are his articles on Inc. Magazine.
If you are an Entrepreneur or a Senior Leader you will find Chuck’s message inspiriting and refreshing and relieving.
This is my second discussion with Chuck and I like him so much because he is a practitioner and not a theoretician. I think this is important for people owning, running and operating businesses.
Major take – aways from this episode are:
- The Concept of Freedom Mapping and the importance of asking yourself “why” you are doing things.
- The Formula for Success is Time + Money = Significance.
- How to avoid being a hostage to your business.
- Is there such a thing as work – life balance?
- The tyranny of urgent versus important.
- The difference between “learning” and “education” for adults and why adults suck at education. The irony of this is that I was just listening to a Tony Robbins interview on Lewis Howes' Show (on Tony’s Jet) where he said “the happiest people are lifetime learners”!
- The importance of groups to support your growth. See Chuck’s 3to5 Club
- The importance of EQ – Emotional Intelligence.
- The role of HR in the future.
- What Chuck would tell his 30 year old self.
- What his most gifted book is.
- The importance of taking risks.
I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Chuck’s presentation and research.

About Bill Murphy
Bill Murphy is a world renowned IT Security Expert dedicated to your success as an IT business leader. Follow Bill on LinkedIn and Twitter.
Marshall Kuypers is a PhD candidate in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, concentrating in Risk Analysis. His research studies quantitative models to assess cyber security risk in organizations. I heard Marshall talk at a major IT Security conference and after listening to him, I knew that I had to get him on the show to share his expertise.
Marshall continues a theme that I have been harping on recently which is for you to deepen your sophistication of communicating at the highest level in your organization about Cyber Risk and investments that you want your company to mitigate against.
For some of you this discussion will be re-enforcement of concepts and ideas that you already know but need to be reminded of. For others, Marshall will bring a fresh approach to you to test with your CFO, CEO or Board. The more effective you can be with communicating to your horizontal peers and upstream reports the better you can fulfill your mission within your company.
Major take aways from this episode are:
1. A Practical and actionable discussion regarding Risk Analysis for Cyber Security
2. How Develop situational awareness for making better IT Security Investment Decisions
3. How to look at your internal security event data in a different way (no not your log data) to support IT Security investment.
4. How to validate or eliminate intuition from assessing probability of IT Security events happening.
5. How to eliminate recency bias from IT Security decisions (Fear and uncertainty cranked by media).
6. We also discuss power laws and complex systems theory which is fun as well.
I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Marshall's presentation and research.
