Wednesday May 04, 2022
Wednesday May 04, 2022
As knowledge work continues to undergo a transformation, changing how, where, and when things get done some are starting to question what exactly is work and who determines the value of it
What makes up work? Is it sitting at a desk all day or is it the ideas that come up when you’re driving or going for a walk? How much productive time makes up the traditional 8 hour work day?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason assess the current state of knowledge work, the metamorphosis that is happening, and the growing new perspective of what work is. They compare how agency work has been traditionally viewed and what they’re hearing from others in the digital analytics space.

33 Tangents - Episode #200 - Over-operationalization And Trust in Employees
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
Wednesday Mar 16, 2022
The mistake many businesses make is they over-operationalize procedures and bog their employees down with a large number of policies. The reason given for doing business in this manner is that it is to ensure a great experience for customers, but the real reason is that they don’t completely trust their employees.
What kind of experience does that really create for customers? What leads to the lack of trust?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jim and Jason continue talking about what it means to be actively involved with running a business and how lack of involvement impacts policies and procedures.

33 Tangents - Episode #184 - Creating Solutions vs. Breaking The Rules
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
We live in a society where we are trained from childhood to get in line and stay there. Those that challenge the norm and try to bring new ideas & ways of doing things are labeled rule breakers and problems.
Companies and individuals claim to want to work with those that are creative, but then are quick to stifle it. We’ve all run across those times where questioning why a company does something is met with “We’ve always done it that way.”
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents podcast, Jim and Jason talk about why that is often the case and how someone can bring new ideas and creative solutions to the table without being labeled as a troublemaker.

33 Tangents - Episode #182 - What Does It Mean to “Ride For The Brand”?
Wednesday Oct 20, 2021
Wednesday Oct 20, 2021
Part of the Code of the West is to “Ride For The Brand”. This means to be loyal to those that take you on and hire you. It’s not a blind loyalty, but one that is earned.
In his book Cowboy Ethics: What It Takes To Win At Life, James P. Owen writes:
“The cowboy’s greatest devotion was to his calling and his way of life. His loyalties naturally centered upon those who valued his traditions and counted upon him to uphold them. In short, the cowboy gave allegiance and respect where they were deserved and returned.”
What does it mean to ride for the brand in a corporate setting? When is it genuine and when is it not?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents podcast, Jim and Jason take a look at what it really means to “Ride For The Brand”, how it is something that can’t be faked, and how it can show a person’s true intentions.

Wednesday Sep 29, 2021

In life there are things for which you want to bargain shop and others where you want to pay the premium price. The desire to pay a premium price comes from a recognition in the difference in value and quality.

When and where you should invest in quality? How do you recognize quality when it comes to digital analytics? How can corporate procurement impact quality?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jim and Jason talk about why companies often bargain shop and how quality can be quantified.
