        • Come and Take It

          Does this sound familiar?

          You try to engage in political discourse with someone from the opposite side, only to be met with hostility

          and canceled out. You've been told to either avoid these conversations altogether or fight back with equal force. But where has that gotten us?

          It's time to acknowledge the pain of feeling unheard and the frustration of being stuck in echo chambers. It's time to flush cancel culture and prioritize

          meaningful dialogue.

          By valuing individuals and their perspectives, we can bridge political divides and increase understanding.

          In this episode, you will be able to:

          • How the lack of common ground has let to
          • transformative power of memorable phrases throughout history.
          • Grasp the essential nature of open communication

          • culture with a focus on dialogue and valuing individuals.


            What can you do today to one person to reach out and say,

            hey, look, let's talk. We haven't talked in a while. More importantly, hey, I
            want to listen. - Doug Thompson

          • Technology Tour Guide - Trust Technology, but Don't Rely on it: Lessons Learned in a Little Rock thunderstorm.

            Trust but verify - don't get caught in a thunderstorm without a backup plan when technology ultimately fails and usually at the worst possible moment.


            Show Notes

            Trust but verify - don't get caught in a thunderstorm without a backup plan when technology ultimately fails and usually at the worst possible moment.

            I learned to Trust but Verify and have a Backup Plan after a plan of mine failed in Little Rock. Technology can be both a good and bad thing, and we should be watchful of it and not trust it implicitly. AI is nothing to be feared, but should be used with caution and verified.

            "Trust but verify - don't trust technology implicitly but use it to your advantage and always verify the information before relying on it."

            In this episode, you will learn the following:

            1. Have you ever had a plan fail and not have a plan B?

            2. How does artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT, influence our lives today?

            3. Will technology eventually fail and what happens if it does at the worst possible moment.?

          • Chip Cards: Convenience or Chaos?

            When his credit card fails 15 times trying to pay for groceries, an exasperated Doug Thompson embarks on a mission to explore the irony of technology, uncovering a hidden single point of failure in his quest for a cashless society.

            You will learn:

            1. Have you ever experienced the frustration of trying to pay for something with your credit card and it not working? 2. How did the US credit card system evolve over time to make it more secure but perhaps less reliable?

            3. What is the potential impact of technology failures on our ability to transition to a cashless society?

          • Asking Why: The Recycling Conundrum of Doug Thompson's Technology Tour Guide

            When Doug attempts to do the right thing by buying recycled paper cups, he soon discovers the startling truth about plastic recycling and sets off on a journey to unmask the lies of the autocrats and bureaucrats.


            This episode was about Questioning what we think we know. I learned about this topic through spilling coffee in my truck and researching the truth behind recycling. Through research, I discovered that recycling is not as effective as it seems, with only 2.4 million tons of plastic waste out of the 51 million generated in 2020 being recycled. We should be questioning how to better reuse materials and hold our leaders accountable for their decisions. Ask questions and keep asking why to get to the truth.  

            You also get to meet another one of my alter egos, Poindexter.

            "It's up to us to create the nirvana we're looking for - we can't let the autocrats and bureaucrats do that for us. Hold them responsible, ask the questions, and keep asking why."

            In this episode, you will learn the following:

            1. Are we really getting the most out of recycling?

            2. How can we use the plastic that can't be recycled in a constructive way?

            3. How can we hold our elected officials accountable for our multi-trillion dollar spending spree?

          • Button up and buckle down with the Technology Tour Guide Podcast and Doug Thompson!

            When Doug Thompson goes to pick up his dry cleaning and notices a strange button pattern, he embarks on an unexpected journey to uncover the compelling, ironic history of buttons and why "we've always done it that way".


            In this video, you will learn:
            1. Have you ever wondered why some shirt buttons are horizontal and others are vertical?
            2. Why do men's shirts have the buttons on the right side and women's on the left?
            3. What is the origin of the "we've always done it that way" attitude?<
            4. Why is the WADITW a bad thing?


            This episode of Technology Tour Guide is about What to buttons have to do with Transformation?. I learned that buttons have a long history and can tell us a lot about the past. Men's buttons are on the right to make drawing swords easier, while women's buttons are on the left to make it easier for them to be dressed. We can use this thought process to question the way we do things in life and strive for transformation. #TeamDoug and #TeamClyde are hashtags to use to join the conversation.

            "Let's think a little bit different. So as you go forward this week doing something cool, button, hey, get a shirt with buttons on the other side. Or, hell, get a shirt with no buttons on it. Velcro would be good to go."

          • "Clippy You Must Die: Surviving Technology Frustrations"

            I remember way back when I opened Microsoft Word, and there was Clippy, the annoying paperclip that tried to help me. He was so bad, they made memes about him. When I type something in, autocorrect can make it worse. I remember my former boss, who would spell words so badly that auto correct even got it wrong. Spell check is better, but it doesn't stop people from misspelling my name. The danger is when technology that is supposed to help us only helps us 80% of the time. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are supposed to be the saviors, but they are only as good as the training they are given. We have to trade off having a poorer experience but having our data private. I'm still not sure what they are doing


            "But as we try to do AI to new things, it's messy at first because it's still learning. It's like a child. And it's only as good, though, as the training it's given. So we're all human and we train it, and then you can add machine learning to it, which trains it at a higher rate."


            In this episode, you will learn the following:

            1. What is the most frustrating experience with technology that you have had?
            2. What is your opinion on AI and its capabilities?
            3. What do you think about the trade-off between privacy and convenience when it comes to technology?

              "If I'm designing this, I'm starting from the point of view of the customer and working the way up."

              I was flying into Philadelphia for a presentation, and I had to fly out to Denver the following day. I decided to rent a Jaguar SUV for the luxury, but I found out there was a tax for luxury. I got the car and drove to my presentation. The next morning, I called the valet to bring my car around, but they said the battery was dead. I had to call National Car Rental's roadside assistance, which redirected me to a third party. They sent a tow truck and Uber. I finally got to my hotel and checked in, but my flight was delayed. I finally got to Denver at 11:30pm. Two days later, I still hadn't received my receipt from National Car Rental, so I called the depot. They said the car
