Welcome to the easier business podcast! As we launch this show our co-hosts, Abigail and Patrick, share some of the business experiences and strategy perspectives you can expect to explore with them in future episodes.

As a multi-generational, father-daughter, co-worker duo, they'll bring Gen-X and Gen-Z perspectives to the conversation.

Storytime topics for today:

  • The IBM commercial that started it all for Patrick back in 1996.
  • Empathy can almost be a bit of a cliche these days. Can you guess the word we prefer instead?
  • We don't want to play poker with our customers.
  • How generational differences, Gen-X and Gen-Z, find their way through in work and business.
  • Abigail's Quince cashmere hoodie.
  • Considering business beyond the short-term measures of success, in favor of the long game.
  • Trauma-informed leadership.
  • Measuring business metrics Quantitatively vs. Qualitatively, making room for both.
  • Greek word Metis compared to Techne. Finding a crafty, deft touch.
  • Balancing the logical and intuitive sides, left and right brain understandings.
  • A lesson from our respective sports, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and soccer.
  • How do you talk to yourself when you're down or losing, or when things aren't working out how you'd like?
  • Observations of what's happening in our home city, Austin Texas.
