#341: Nick Kokonas — How to Apply World-Class Creativity to Business, Art, and Life
By Tim Ferriss: Bestselling Author, Human Guinea Pig. Discovered by Player FM and our community — copyright is owned by the publisher, not Player FM, and audio streamed directly from their servers.
Nick Kokonas (IG: @nkokonas, TW: @NickKokonas) is the co-owner and co-founder of The Alinea Group of restaurants, which includes Alinea, Next, The Aviary, Roister, and The Aviary NYC. He is also the founder and CEO of Tock, Inc, a reservations and CRM system for restaurants with more than 2.5M diners and clients in more than 20 countries.
Alinea has been named the Best Restaurant in America and Best Restaurant in The World by organizations and lists as diverse as The James Beard Foundation, World's 50 Best, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Gourmet Magazine, and Elite Traveler. His restaurants have won nearly every accolade afforded to them.
Nick has been a subversive entrepreneur and angel investor since 1996. He spent a decade as a derivatives trader, has co-written three books, and believes in radical transparency in markets and business. His latest effort is The Aviary Cocktail Book, which is perhaps the most gorgeous book I've ever seen. It is self-published, has already pre-sold nearly $1M in copies, and is being released and shipped in October of 2018.
We've been trying to get this interview going ever since Nick was of immense help to me for The 4-Hour Chef, so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. We talk about much more than the restaurant business, including philosophy, derivatives trading, favorite books, and how Nick tends to break every industry he enters in the most productive way possible! Enjoy!

John Shea April 25, 2016 Updated: April 25, 2016 9:10 a.m.
Nineteen games aren't enough of a sample size to determine whether Bruce Bochy's hit-the-pitcher-eighth strategy is working. It might need a couple more months. Or the rest of the year.
But this is a jump-to-conclusion society, so let's break it down.
Fact is, there's not enough hard evidence around the majors to conclude that it's the only way to go, only because it's a relatively new fad. Number crunchers suggest a team could score as many as two or three extra runs a year with the pitcher in the eighth spot.
Maybe a few more with the right lineup, maybe none with the wrong lineup. Seems insignificant, at least until a playoff spot comes down to one game.
Most National League games still aren't played with the pitcher hitting eighth. Bochy was never a fan of the idea until Denard Span arrived and Angel Pagan got healthy, giving him a 9-1 "double leadoff hitter" format in front of Buster Posey and Co.
So far, the reviews are mixed. Ten times, an inning ended with a Giants pitcher who was batting eighth killing a rally — making the final out with runners on base. The first three times, the Giants rebounded to score the next inning in rallies ignited by Pagan (all during the team's 6-2 start). The next six times, during the 1-8 skid, they didn't score the next inning.
Giants' Madison Bumgarner, A's Sonny Gray on Dream Team?
Then came Friday's series opener against the Marlins. Bochy tweaked his lineup but left his pitcher eighth, and the Giants erupted for an 8-1 win thanks in part to the hitting of starter Jeff Samardzija. Yes, he made the final out of the first inning with a runner on third base, but he went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.
Bochy acknowledged it worked better at the start of the season.
For example: In the season opener, Madison Bumgarner made the last out of the fifth, stranding a runner, but Pagan walked to open a two-run rally in the sixth. In the seventh game, pitcher Johnny Cueto made the final outs in two innings with men on base. In the two ensuing innings, Pagan hit a leadoff homer and doubled to ignite a two-run rally.
Another time it worked for the Giants, with two outs and the pitcher up, Bumgarner hit a home run off Clayton Kershaw. Well, there's that.
Then came the rut. The next six instances backfired. Each time, a pitcher, batting in a spot traditionally reserved for an actual hitter, made the final out leaving men on base, and Pagan made an out to begin the next inning.
There's more to it, of course. It's about the simple luxury of having the switch-hitting Pagan lead off innings with Span, a proven leadoff man, on deck. After the first time through the lineup, as the theory goes, the Giants' best hitters would see more men on base.
Curiously, the eighth spot in the lineup has produced the most RBIs (13), though seven are catcher Trevor Brown's. Pitchers have batted eighth in 14 of 19 games. Bochy has hit his pitcher ninth only in games Posey or Pagan doesn't start.
The Giants' analytics department provides the coaching staff a constant flow of data, and Bochy can pick and choose when drawing up a lineup. But he said there was no particular stat that convinced him to bat his pitcher eighth.
Jake Arrieta's no-hitter Thursday was his second in his past 11 regular-season starts, which brings to mind a record that'll never be broken. Say what you want of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak or Pete Rose's 4,256 hits, but no one will break John Vander Meer's record of two straight no-hitters. Three in a row? Please. We don't see three complete games in a row anymore. … Former A's catcher Terry Steinbach went to a college game, and somebody hit a ball that busted his windshield.

Notice.
This notice advises the public that the Department of the Army (Army), as lead agency, is gathering information necessary to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) in connection with Dakota Access, LLC's request to grant an easement to cross Lake Oahe, which is on the Missouri River and owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). This notice opens the public scoping phase and invites interested parties to identify potential issues, concerns, and reasonable alternatives that should be considered in an EIS.
To ensure consideration during the development of an EIS, written comments on the scope of an EIS should be sent no later than February 20, 2017. The date of all public scoping meetings will be announced at least 15 days in advance through a notice to be published in the local North Dakota newspaper (The Bismarck Tribune) and online at https://www.army.mil/asacw.
You may mail or hand deliver written comments to Mr. Gib Owen, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, 108 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310-0108. Advance arrangements will need to be made to hand deliver comments. Please include your name, return address, and "NOI Comments, Dakota Access Pipeline Crossing" on the first page of your written comments. Comments may also be submitted via email to Mr. Gib Owen, at gib.a.owen.civ@mail.mil. If emailing comments, please use "NOI Comments, Dakota Access Pipeline Crossing" as the subject of your email.
The location of all public scoping meetings will be announced at least 15 days in advance through a notice to be published in the local North Dakota newspaper (The Bismarck Tribune) and online at https://www.army.mil/asacw.
For Further Information Contact
Mr. Gib Owen, Water Resources Policy and Legislation, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, Washington, DC 20310-0108; telephone: (703) 695-6791; email: gib.a.owen.civ@mail.mil.
The proposed crossing of Lake Oahe by Dakota Access, LLC is approximately 0.5 miles upstream of the northern boundary of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's reservation. The Tribe protests the crossing primarily because it relies on Lake Oahe for water for a variety of purposes, the Tribe's reservation boundaries encompass portions of Lake Oahe downstream from the proposed crossing, and the Tribe retains water, treaty fishing, and hunting rights in the Lake.
The proposed crossing of Corps property requires the granting of a right-of-way (easement) under the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA), 30 U.S.C. 185. To date, the Army has not made a final decision on whether to grant the easement pursuant to the MLA. The Army intends to prepare an EIS to consider any potential impacts to the human environment that the grant of an easement may cause.
Specifically, input is desired on the following three scoping concerns:
(1) Alternative locations for the pipeline crossing the Missouri River;
(2) Potential risks and impacts of an oil spill, and potential impacts to Lake Oahe, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's water intakes, and the Tribe's water, treaty fishing, and hunting rights; and
(3) Information on the extent and location of the Tribe's treaty rights in Lake Oahe.
On July 25, 2016, the Corps granted permission to applicant Dakota Access, LLC, under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, 33 U.S.C. 408 (408 permission), for a proposed pipeline crossing of Lake Oahe. Lake Oahe is on the Missouri River and owned by the Corps. The approximate 1,172-mile pipeline connects the Bakken and Three Forks oil production areas in North Dakota to an existing crude oil market near Patoka, Illinois. The pipeline is 30 inches in diameter and is projected to transport approximately 570,000 barrels per day.
The 408 permission was accompanied by a Finding of No Significant Impact based on an Environmental Assessment (EA), as contemplated under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EA included a brief description and characterization of factors used in evaluating a potential alternative crossing location that was considered and eliminated during the analysis phase. The alternative route, which was eliminated, would cross the Missouri River approximately 10 miles north of Bismarck, ND.
On December 4, 2016, the Army determined that a decision on whether to authorize the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe at the proposed location merits additional analysis, more rigorous exploration and evaluation of reasonable siting alternatives, and greater public and tribal participation and comments as contemplated in the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ's) NEPA implementing regulations, 40 CFR 1502.14 and 1503.1. Currently, the Corps is developing a plan to implement the Army's December 4, 2016 direction. This notice of public scoping should be integrated into the Corps' plan of action.
Consistent with CEQ's NEPA implementing regulations, an EIS will analyze, at a minimum:
The range of issues, alternatives, and potential impacts may be expanded based on comments received in response to this notice and at public scoping meetings.
Public Comment Availability: Before including your address, telephone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your comment that your personal identifying information be withheld from public review, the Army cannot guarantee that this will occur.
Authority: This notice is published in accordance with sections 1503.1 and 1506.6 of the CEQ's Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508) implementing the procedural requirements of NEPA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and the Army and Corps' NEPA implementation policies (32 CFR part 651 and 33 CFR part 230), and exercises the authority delegated to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) by General Orders No. 2017-1, January 5, 2017.

The automotive sector is facing a unique set of challenges to digitize and electrify rapidly. The next few years are vital for a transformational shift, but with the proper leadership in place, these challenges also represent huge opportunities.
Prior to the global financial crisis and subsequent automotive industry crisis of 2008-10, investors would look to the health of the automotive sector as a litmus test of consumer confidence and expected GDP growth. The decade prior to 2008, for example, at a time when the dot-com bubble burst, world motor vehicle production was growing by an average of more than 3% per year. The industry also showed resilience immediately after the crisis, with vehicle production growing by 26% in 2010 and growing year-on-year until 2017.
Advancements in mechanics and lightweighting have been a key historical component of the automotive industry's growth. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that innovation is now occurring in electronics, sensors, and the digital environment. All major original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) as well as global suppliers have formed strategies around this new electronic realism, understanding that software is going to be the great future differentiator.
Automotive companies have recalibrated their brands, tag lines, missions and visions to include mobility and electrification. Ford now brands itself no longer as a car company but rather as a mobility company. Several major global suppliers including Borg Warner and Magna have made acquisitions or joint venture alliances with other leading partners to leverage their collective strengths, including intellectual property, market reach and portfolios. These huge shifts are starting to occur as a result of digitalization and electrification. But what does leadership look like in this fast-changing landscape?
Numerous industry C-suite executives understand digital and/or electronic transformation as business critical, yet a significant number tell me they are not satisfied with their organization's ability to execute a proper transformation. Many feel that their organization does not have all the essential leadership expertise that aligns with their digital or electrification roadmaps. Additionally, they are also concerned with their organization's ability to accept such enormous change.
Technology-driven transformation requires much more than a sound strategy and a smart singular leadership hire. It truly starts with an integrated, holistic business strategy that addresses products, commercialization, market strategy, manufacturing, capacity, and above all talent that brings all these elements together.
Moreover, these traditional business strategy elements are trumped in importance by the dynamic and immediate need for keen leadership steeped in technological expertise that will confidently drive team alignment and effectiveness, proper organizational structures and overall culture readiness.
With so much transformation around us, organizations and leadership must be even more agile and highly adaptable than ever before. What is now evident is that the most progressive and adaptable automotive organizations are behaving like technology companies. That means developing flexible, secure and scalable platforms. Beyond just introducing Chief Digital (or Technology) Officers, they are also fostering more agile cultures and organizational structures as a critical element of a transformation strategy. One that values real-time data which provides for instantaneous decision making rather than looking at past performance on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Tesla, already seen by many analysts as more of a technology company than an auto company, has completely shaken up the industry. VW and GM as well as a host of their top ten global suppliers have made billion-dollar investments and established whole new business entities to rapidly close the gap. While some companies have gotten ahead of the curve on technology, many players will have to seek out and buy the technology or the alliances they need to adapt and survive.
Only an integrated, holistic leadership approach that addresses talent, team alignment and effectiveness, culture and organizational structure as a system will drive real change. This not only goes for the CEO and other C-suite roles but also for all other traditional functional leadership roles from finance, HR, marketing to supply chain. Those who lead these digitizing core functions will increase efficiency, assimilate vital data, embrace AI and drive toward a more insight-driven organization.
When speaking with other NGS Global partners, private equity firms, boards of directors and hiring leaders, it is evident that there is exponential demand for transformational leaders who operate beyond optimizing revenues, operating profit and earnings per share.
This transformational evolution is moving faster than any other shift in the history of the automotive industry. Not only is this fueled by major technological advances, but also driven by a heightened global awareness of environmental impact and sustainability. Governments across the globe are imposing major emission demands on the industry like never before. The long-term ramifications of these decisions will have significant impact not only on the number of major players remaining but also how they will be structured, organized with possible alliances and the overall leadership and talent needed.
The good news is that much of the global automotive industry, in general, is much better prepared today to adapt to this shift than they were even five years ago. Technological barriers have largely been cleared and there's industry consensus that the global momentum toward a low-emission, electric future is inevitable. The global shift of invested capital not only by OEM's but all major suppliers into the electric vehicle market is evidence of this.
The big challenge for the industry now will be figuring out how to transition to new digital or electronic technologies while so much capital is still tied up in old technologies. Beyond Industry 4.0, factories will look radically different in future decades. The overall impact on talent will be profound. As part of an effective transformation, leaders will be charged with balancing the shift in technologies and thus the massive migration of organizational talent to maintain pace with technological change.
I see more merger and acquisitions on the horizon as companies leverage their collective strengths as opposed to going it alone. Conversely, newer start up tech players have to find ways to scale up production without running into growing pains and quality problems, while gaining validation and industry acceptance. Undoubtedly, these trends will also have a profound impact on new leadership.
So while a handful of higher profile original equipment and major tier one companies have adapted and are making progress with their collective technological transformations, a significant number of firms continue to grapple to convert their legacy businesses into tech and data-enabled, customer-centric organizations.
Setting aside new business models and strategic project plans, transformational leadership will be key. Without this leadership in place, a holistic approach to creating an integrated business strategy led by a newly transformed executive group that understands how to leverage technology and data capabilities will remain elusive.

The illustration shows the episodic time from the experience of a 4-hour-long ski trip up and down a steep mountain, including events that alter the skier's perception of time. The idea is that experienced time is event-dependent and may be perceived as faster or slower than clock time. The newly discovered neural record of experienced time is in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) in green. Next to the LEC is the MEC, the brain's seat for space (not depicted). Next to the MEC is the hippocampus, the structure in which information from the time and space networks come together to form episodic memories. Infographic: Kolbjørn Skarpnes & Rita Elmkvist Nilsen
How your brain experiences time
By	Rita Elmkvist Nilsen
Published	29.08.18
Researchers at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience have discovered a network of brain cells that expresses our sense of time within experiences and memories. The area of the brain where time is experienced is located right next to the area that codes for space.
Clocks are devices created by humans to measure time. By social contract, we agree to coordinate our own activities according to clock time. Nevertheless, your brain does not perceive the duration in time with the standardized units of minutes and hours on your wristwatch. The signature of time in our experiences and memories belongs to a different kind of temporality altogether.
Over the course of evolution, living organisms, including humans, have developed multiple biological clocks to help us keep track of time. What separates the brain's various timekeepers is not only the scale of time that is measured, but also the phenomena the neural clocks are tuned to.
Some timekeepers are set by external processes, like the circadian clock that is tuned to the rise and fall of daylight. This clock helps organisms adapt to the rhythms of a day.
Other timekeepers are set by phenomena of more intrinsic origins, like the hippocampal time cells that form a domino-like chain signal that tracks time spans up to 10 seconds precisely. Today we know a great deal about the brain's mechanisms for measuring small timescales like seconds. Little is known, however, about the timescale the brain uses to record our experiences and memories, which can last anywhere from seconds to minutes to hours.
A Neural Clock for Experienced Time

A neural clock that keeps track of time during experiences is precisely what Albert Tsao and his colleagues at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience believe they have discovered. By recording from a population of brain cells the researchers identified a strong time-coding signal deep inside the brai
"Our study reveals how the brain makes sense of time as an event is experienced," says Tsao. "The network does not explicitly encode time. What we measure is rather a subjective time derived from the ongoing flow of experience."
"This network provides timestamps to events and keeps track of the order of events within an experience,"says Professor Moser.
The neural clock operates by organizing the flow of our experiences into an orderly sequence of events. This activity gives rise to the brain's clock for subjective time. Experience, and the succession of events within experience, are thus the substance of which subjective time is generated and measured by the brain.

Time, Space and Memory in the Brain
"Today, we have a fairly good understanding of the way our brains process space, whereas our knowledge of time is less coherent," Professor Moser says.
"Space in the brain is relatively easy to investigate. It consists of specialized cell types that are dedicated to specific functions. Together they constitute the nuts and bolts of the system," he says.
In 2005, May-Britt and Edvard Moser discovered grid cells, which map our environment at different scales by dividing space into hexagonal units. In 2014, the Mosers shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with their colleague and mentor John O'Keefe at University College London for their discoveries of cells that constitute the brain's positioning system.
In 2007, inspired by the Mosers' discovery of spatially coding grid cells, then-Kavli Institute PhD candidate Albert Tsao set out to crack the code of what was happening in the enigmatic lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). This area of the brain is right next to the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), where his supervisors, the Mosers, had discovered grid cells.

"I was hoping to find a similar key operating cell that would reveal the functional identity of this neural network", Tsao says. The task proved to be a time-consuming project.
"There didn't seem to be a pattern to the activity of these cells. The signal changed all the time, says Professor Moser.
It was only in the last couple of years that the researchers began to suspect that the signal was indeed changing with time. Suddenly the recoded data started to make sense.
"Time is a non-equilibrial process. It is always unique and changing," Professor Moser says. "If this network was indeed coding for time, the signal would have to change with time in order to record experiences as unique memories."

The Mosers needed only to decode the signal of one single grid cell to discover how space is encoded in the in the medial entorhinal cortex. Decoding time in the lateral entorhinal cortex proved to be a more complex task. It was only when looking at activity from hundreds of cells that Tsao and his colleagues were able to see that the signal encoded time.
"The activity in these neural networks is so distributed that the mechanism itself probably lies in the structure of connectivity within the networks. The fact that it can be shaped into various unique patterns implies a high level of plasticity," Professor Moser says. "I believe distributed networks and the combination of structures of activity may deserve more attention in the future. With this work, we have found an area with activity so strongly relating to the time of an event or experience, it may open up a whole new research field."

The Shape of Time
The structure of time has long been a disputed topic by philosophers and physicists alike. What can the newly discovered brain's mechanism for episodic time tell us about how we perceive time? Is our perception of time linear resembling a flowing river, or cyclical like a wheel or a helix? Data from the Kavli study suggest both are correct, and that the signal in the time-coding network can take on many forms depending on the experience.
Professor Edvard Moser, Jørgen Sugar, a postdoc at the Kavli Institute, and Professor May-Britt Moser. The Kavli scientists believe that this discovery will bring us one leap closer to solving the challenge of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's. The neural clock for subjective time serves a critical function in memory and learning, in our ability to organize experiences as a succession of events, and to form memories, to learn, and in the shaping of who we are.

In 2016, PhD candidate Jørgen Sugar joined the Kavli project to perform a new set of experiments that would test the hypothesis that the LEC network coded for episodic time. In one experiment a rat was introduced to a wide range of experiences and options for action. It was free to run around, investigate and chase bits of chocolate while visiting a series of open space environments.
The recorded data from the repetitive tasks of the figure-8 maze show that the rat's encoding of time relative to each lap time (left or right turn) improved, while time coding across laps were overlapping and thus reduced. Illustration: Albert Tsao
"The uniqueness of the time signal during this experiment suggests that the rat had a very good record of time and temporal sequence of events throughout the two hours the experiment lasted," Sugar says. "We were able to use the signal from the time-coding network to track exactly when in the experiment various events had occurred."
In the second experiment, the task was more structured with a narrower range of experiences and options for action. The rat was trained to chase after bits of chocolate while turning left or right in a figure-8 maze.
"With this activity, we saw the time-coding signal change character from unique sequences in time to a repetitive and partly overlapping pattern," Tsao says. "On the other hand, the time signal became more precise and predictable during the repetitive task. The data suggest that the rat had a refined understanding of temporality during each lap, but a poor understanding of time from lap to lap and from the start to end throughout the experiment."
Professor Moser says the study shows that by changing the activities you engage in, the content of your experience, you can actually change the course of the time-signal in LEC and thus the way you perceive time.

A brief primer on the brain and time
What is episodic memory?
Your ability to recall and mentally relive specific episodes from your past is called episodic memory. This is the type of memories that you can visualize and talk about. The episodic memory is explicit in the way that its content is always anchored to a time and a place.
Simply stated, episodic memories are a composition of what (content), where (position) and when (time). The brain area called medial entorhinal cortex is particularly important for mapping positions in space.
This study suggests that the lateral entorhinal cortex may be important for putting experience into a temporal context. Information from both of these structures come together in the hippocampus to form episodic memories.
Where is the brain's subjective clock located?
The researchers recorded the time signal from a neural network in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). LEC, the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and hippocampus (Hipp) are components of the hippocampal formation, which are located in the cortices of the left and right temporal lobes of the brain.
What is experienced time?
Subjective experience is the very substrate from which our concept of time arises. Time as we perceive it. Subjective time. Psychological time. Experienced time. Mind time. Episodic time. That time which flies when you're having fun, which stretches when you are waiting, and which nearly comes to arrest in the split seconds of a catastrophe unfolding, is in its essence relational and relative to the multiple aspects of experience it is woven into.
