33 Tangents - Episode #118 - Enjoying the Journey
Friday Jul 31, 2020
Friday Jul 31, 2020
“Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow.”
- Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
With today’s hustle culture, we’re told we’ve got to be constantly moving. We’ve got to be striving to reach a goal (the promotion, the raise, a new house, etc) or someone else will get it. We also feel this in tasks with work. “If I just stay up late tonight and tomorrow night I’ll bang this project out and then I’ll have some time to breathe.”
This gives us the impression that we’ll be happy, or better off, as soon as we get to that destination. The fallacy with this mindset is that we’ll never be satisfied and work will always be there. There will always be something more to accomplish and more work to complete. What is driving the hustle culture? What is attractive about it?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason talk about what it means to “enjoy the journey” with work.

33 Tangents - Episode #117 - Metrics that Matter
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Tag managers such as Launch and GTM have lowered the barriers that existed in years past that made deploying new data collection rules difficult. With lower implementation cost, it’s become easy to justify “just one more thing”. This can cause people to lose focus on the data that matters and become obsessed with tracking everything possible.
On this week’s episode, Jason, Bryant, and Jim discuss differentiating between what matters and everything else. What are the metrics that matter most? How can you keep people focused on what matters and prevent the thought process of needing everything tracked?

On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jon Narong returns to talk about mobile app analytics with Jenn and Jim.
Recently Jon tweeted about the analytics content that he’s finding is coming mostly from the web perspective. Why is that the case? Why does it seem like the content around app analytics is limited as compared to web?
