33 Tangents - Episode #160 - Why Is “Grinding” The Only Way To Work?
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Hard, honest work in which you create value for your company & clients alike and grinding until burnout are not the same thing.
Why do people think that grinding as hard as you can for an indefinite amount of time is the only way to go?
Why is there this cognitive dissonance when people hear of alternative ways of working?
Why are people shamed for thinking that you can have fun and gain fulfillment in work without burning yourself out?
Why is burnout looked as a badge of honor?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jason and Jim talk about their experiences that have led them to search out a different way of working and their thoughts on why people think that being on the verge of burnout is the only way to work.

Wednesday May 12, 2021
Wednesday May 12, 2021
This episode was recorded while Adobe Summit 2021 was taking place with it being the second year that it was held virtually due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Is this the future of industry conferences? Will they return, but in a scaled-down (read: cheapened) form that’s half in-person and half virtual?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason talk about concerns they have with virtual industry events becoming the norm, how conferences are more than just keynotes & breakout sessions, as well as some fun stories from the past.

33 Tangents - Episode #154 - Data That Is Nothing More Than A Distraction
Wednesday Apr 07, 2021
Wednesday Apr 07, 2021
We’ve all experienced the situation with a client where we know the data they are talking about is nothing more than a distraction. It can be data that they have identified as needing to be collected or data they already collect.
When asked about it, you get the response that “just might need it in the future”.
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason talk about their experience with this, the risks, and the warning signs that the data will either be a distraction or a new toy that isn’t used in 3 months.

33 Tangents - Episode #145 - The So-Called “Cookie-less” Future
Wednesday Feb 03, 2021
Wednesday Feb 03, 2021
It feels like we have another round of “all cookies are dying” conversations happening again. Companies are being pushed to adopt some sort of server side technology now or all data will be lost.
What is actually happening? What is the truth? Is it all fear, uncertainty, and doubt or is there some legitimacy to it? Do companies need to jump immediately or is there still time to see how things develop?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason discuss what they’re seeing, what they’ve seen before, and their recommendations for those that are feeling pushed one way or another.
