On May 7th and 8th, experts from government, industry, small business, and academia will come together in Washington, D.C., for the 2024 Humans to Mars Summit focused on sending humans to Mars.
The event, the largest such gathering on earth, is being organized by Chris Carberry, the CEO and Co-Founder of Explore Mars Inc.,  a nonprofit dedicated to fostering a permanent human presence on the Red Planet no later than 2033.

Once the province of science fiction, Chris says a Martian colony is inevitable, and there are ample opportunities right now for entrepreneurs and independent businesses to climb aboard.
Chris is the author of The Music of Space: Scoring the Cosmos in Film and Television and Alcohol in Space: Past, Present and Future. 
Before joining Explore Mars, he served as Executive Director of The Mars Society.

Whether you are a solo entrepreneur, a small business owner, or the head of a FORTUNE 500 company, innovation is within your grasp — if you understand what it is and isn’t.
This week’s guest, Steve Wunker, managing director of New Markets Advisors, is widely acknowledged as one of the country’s foremost masters of innovation. He pioneered the mobile marketing and commerce industries, and is responsible for one of the world’s first smartphones.

In his latest book, The Innovative Leader: Step-by-Step Lessons From Top Investors For You and Your Organization, Steve shares the ABCs of innovative leadership: Aspire, Build, and Cultivate.
He also debunks three of the most common myths about innovation:
A company needs to invent a better product or service to be “innovative.”
The hardest part of innovation is hitting on the ‘Big Idea.’
Innovation is the exclusive province of high-tech companies.
Not only can every company, big and small, innovate, but Steve warns they had better trailblaze, or they’re sure to be left in the dust of others. Where to begin and who should lead the effort are insights Steve shares on this week's podcast.

Does your business have a mascot, a team jersey, and team-related merchandise for sale?
Probably not.
Fredrick “Freddy D” Dudek has spent more than three decades studying how companies can turn their employees, customers, and business affiliates into the kind of raging fans that sports teams enjoy.

He is the author of Creating Business Superfans: The Time-Tested Playbook That Converts Your Customers, Employees, and Business Partners into Superfans for Bigger Sales, Broader Awareness, and Long-Term Success.
Like a sports franchise, Freddy D discovered that the secret to creating business super fans begins by fostering an internal culture dedicated to winning. For businesses, that means making superior customer service the desired home run of every "at bat" with customers and prospects.
While the analogy to sports fanatics is perfectly valid, Freddy D assures us that it’s unnecessary to dress up your CEO as an animal, historical figure, or other costumed mascot with an oversized head and goofy feet. 
Hearing what he has to say and reading his book will suffice.
