Technology is the future but also the past. The present but also the future. How do you stay on top of something that's constantly changing? What if you don't even work in tech? We answer all these questions on today's episode and knock out pt 2 of the topic, specifically offering guidance for teams seeking to innovate.   Support the show Click/Tap HERE for everything Corporate Stra...

This episode is MASSIVE! Alex helps us put a positive spin on the most burning corporate questions directly from the discord, including: Will families ever be able to own a house on a single salary again?  How many improvements to the corporate world can come down to affecting change from within as opposed to forcing better practices from outside, such as via government regulation?   Is Elon Musk...

It's always tough when you have just started and realize that things are pretty funky on the job. You have ideas on how to fix it, but should you stay quiet? Wait 90 days? Go all out?

Thanks again to Individual Contributor for submitting yet another trifecta of banger topics. We break down the act of promotion, what to do when you aren't giving 120%, and avoiding the Peter Principle.

We always do our best to help others around us. That's why today I'm doing my best to evaluate and offer any advice to support Clark's current "people problem," if we can really call it that. Often people get the bad rap for process/technology when it fails them, and what about when companies fail people? Is their reaction to this failure problematic? We discuss all of thi...

We love it when it happens, and we got a listener-submitted topic, and it's a tough one. What do you do when quitting your job (and finding a better one) is not an option?

It isn't easy, but Bruce and Clark tackle the challenge head-on by using CACC to help evaluate and reverse Uno the non-ideal situation into...

Today we are talking about the things we couldn't give up, the tools that make our jobs more accessible, and how much we can't survive without them. Google says they are reducing laptop refreshes to stop a firing, I say fire me before I give up that sweet M2 Macbook upgrade, but I could be convinced to switch to  Windows XP with an excellent trackball roller mouse.  Support the show Clic...

Culture, Autonomy, Challenge, and Compensation. We took a test to evaluate three of the four and see how we are fairing at our jobs, and the numbers don't lie. Evaluating CACC is something we encourage everyone to do in their jobs, and as you will see, the reflection this exercise has generated is fascinating. This is one of the weirder eps we have done, so apologies if you are joining us for...

PPT is an adage for companies, but Clark brings a hard-hitting topic on managing it effectively.

Job fulfillment can come in many forms: netting a baller salary, finishing a massive project, and working a soul-sucking 18 hours daily.

Clark brings us possibly some of the most heinous interview questions ever asked, and we take them kinda seriously.
