The Catchup

Ep.115: Burning Out vs Fading Away, A Half-vaxed Life, and Semiconductor Supershortage


Listen Later

This week, John and Denison once again catchup on a variety of topics, starting with John’s new shirt (exclusively available HERE) causing controversy in and around Wichita. John explains the story behind “Burn Century II” and the reason for the satirical attack on the iconic building. Plus, the aggressive reaction so far to the new shirt.

Then, Denison shares why the biggest adjustment of  his new job at UT Dallas is undoing bad habits. He shares his struggle with relinquishing control and trusting others to handle their assigned tasks, rather than trying to do everything on his own. How to grow yourself, and not get caught up in burnout, plus so much more. It’s a valuable discussion with a necessary lesson as you climb the corporate ladder.

Next, We’re half-vaxed! Both John and Denison share the experience of getting their first shot, including how Denison was nearly turned away, then monitored longer than most others! John’s experience was smooth, but he’s one of the few getting the shot in Kansas! And now, the state is starting to open up in a big way with just over one-quarter of the population vaccinated! We discuss the pros and cons of this move, the controversial reasoning behind it, and much more!

Finally, a superconductor shortage is impacting the future of all of your favorite devices. What does that mean? Production of a key component on many of your smart devices (and cars) is at an all-time high... but so is demand for the products they go in! It's a race to keep up, and it could impact the industry for years to come.

There's a lot to discuss! Let's jump into it!
