  • Ep 19 - The T1Mex Takes The Mic Edition

    In this edition of the SlipStream podcast, I turn the inverview mic over to my friend Josh Anderson ("T1Mex"), who plunges us into some interesting rabbit holes. We dig into some of the mental models I use for decision making, my spirit animal, what things annoy me and some of the highlights and lowlights of my career. We also sneak in some talk about a couple of mutual friends in the industry and wiggle around the foods we put in our air fryers that just might kill us someday soon. 

    This is a long form episode, running just slightly over an hour, but includes some great stuff.

  • Ep 16 - The Execution Spectrum Edition

    In this episode I discuss what I call the "Execution Spectrum", ranging from the wantrepreneur to the obsessive maker. I discuss some of the challenges of each position and how systemic thinking and shifts toward managing outputs can make a difference.

    If you want to understand, and have a frank discussion with yourself about, where you fit on the spectrum, I give you some examples of behaviors on both ends.

    Hope this helps folks!

    • Ep 11 - The Data Driven Decision Episode

      This week I discuss an approach to using data scraped from the web to make two real life decisions - buying the right house and what nursing home to care for your loved ones. As a bonus, I also walk through a prospecting example for entrepreneurs.

      The basic methodology is:

      • Identify criteria
      • Identify data sources
      • Sample and clean the data as needed
      • Establish a weighted scoring process for the decision
      • Use the data to make the decision
      • Hope these examples help with an approach to use systems-based thinking and mental models, along with a touch of code, for folks to use to make wise decisions.
