The Greatest Time in History to be Smart

Each month, “Lochhead on Different” episodes will explore the
need to differentiate people, products, and services in a world
that encourages a lot of imitation. A best-selling author, top
podcaster, and former tech-industry CMO, Christopher Lochhead is
a student of not only business and technology and marketing but
also human nature, human folly, human genius, and very human joy.


Episode 5


In this wide-ranging episode, Chris and I discuss Mary Meeker’s
popular annual Internet Trends Report. Inside is a fact that
caught Chris’ attention: today, 3.8 billion people are on the
internet. So Chris explains why he believes we need to get the
other half on it, too. Taking a somewhat opposite tack, we also
debate the merits and the downsides of internet usage. The report
reveals that Gen Z spends between 5 and 10 hours per day on their
phones.


Next, the conversation turns to Cutco, a knife company whose
mantra is “Changing lives by selling knives.” We look at how its
employee experience differs from that of a Facebook or other
leading tech companies. Then, Chris explains why your life is
like a smile.
