  • Less Stress/More Joy Episode

    Some of the content from the guest on this episode was interesting but the delivery was so frustrating to listen to. She was all over the place and it was hard to follow all the lists she went through because she bounced around so much.

  • So much fantastic content!

    While I have been a loyal listener for many years there were hundreds of podcasts that I had NOT listened to. Over the past several months and during my early morning walks I have been listening to or reviewing all of the podcasts that were "unplayed" on my podcast player.

    Wow! There was so much rich, or should I say awesome, information and content. There were interviews with expert researchers, leaders, executive coaches, and others that I knew of their work but did not realize that Pete had ... more

  • Mattering at Work (8/11/25, EP 1083)

    During my early morning walk this morning (8/11/25) I listened to episode 1083 in which Pete interviews Zach Mercurio. The title "How Tiny Actions Inspire Others Through Mattering" highlighted what I have often observed in some corporate worlds: the high levels of disengagement. Dr. Mercurio discusses "mattering" and "anti-mattering" that for me clearly explained what can lead to disengagement.

    If you have thought about engagement and disengagement at work check this podcast out!

You define the outcome clearly, use rules to verify every action, and set up ongoing feedback loops like nightly knowledge cards to track progress and adjust the agents as needed.

Q: For starters, could you orient listeners who didn't catch your last appearance on Less Doing and what it's about?
