Please note: We’re taking short break for summer vacation over the next two weeks. We'll be back with new episodes on July 19, 2019. This episode was previously published on August 3, 2018.
This week Jim, Jon, and Jason discuss two different, yet related problems faced by remote workers today. The first is the concept of being “always on”. The expectation, explicitly stated or implied, that you’re always accessible via phone, or email, or a messaging platform such as Slack. The second piece is distractions. This could be the latest email that comes into your inbox, the tweet you just got, or the alert that just popped up on your phone. Both of these take discipline to manage to prevent being thrown off track. How can these be dealt with? What are some of the steps that can be taken to manage them?

33 Tangents - Episode #60 - How Do You Develop Transferrable Skills
Friday Jun 21, 2019
Friday Jun 21, 2019
Description: A job that is in demand today can easily become obsolete in the future. As time progresses, industries can and will contract. Job automation has always been and always will be a threat to jobs, no matter the skill level (The robots are taking our jobs!) especially as AI is becoming more and more of a reality. This week Jason, Jon, and Jim talk about how real the threat of automation is to a person’s career. What should a person be aware of? Looking across industries, what are key transferrable skills that people should develop and how can they go about it?

33 Tangents - Episode #54 - Dealing with the Analytics Turnover Problem
Friday May 10, 2019
Friday May 10, 2019
The Analytics space is one that sees rapid turnover. According to Corey Prohens at IQ Workforce is that most who work in analytics, either on the implementation or on the analysis & insights side, move jobs every 18 months. This results in a feeling of repeated reset and slow progression. What are some other issues that are the result of this constant change? What can be done to mitigate the issues and reduce the churn? This week Jim and Jason sit down and talk through the complicated topic.

On a recent episode, Jason discussed the idea of developing mastery in one’s craft. As part of that conversation, both he and Jim talked about how elite athletes develop their mastery to such a degree that they are able to slow the pace of a game down to a level where they can be 2 steps ahead of anyone else on the playing field (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBgsRbOl7X4). How can an individual go about creating mastery in their craft so as to slow the pace down to the level they need it to be so they are successful? How do you prevent rash decision making? How do you not get caught up in others’ frantic pace?

33 Tangents - Episode #47 - When Is It Time To Switch Tools/Vendors?
Friday Mar 22, 2019
Friday Mar 22, 2019
We frequently come across 1 of 2 scenarios. We either have a company that has a tool (or set of tools) that are in place and no matter the work they put into them, the tool doesn’t fit their need and they don’t move on and find a better tool, or we have a company that switches tools or vendors the minute there is a sign of trouble. Neither of these are good or healthy. This week Jason and Jim discuss when it is the right time to switch to a new tool or vendor. What should be taken into account before making the firm decision to stay or move? Are either staying too long or changing too frequently signs of a bigger organizational issue?
THINGS WE MENTIONED
The Gibson Girl Lounge at The Grand America
Hellfire Sushi Challenge at Kobe Sushi
