  • I was told I need t give these guys another try. I listened to Episode 231. One host gave Deion a free pass and spent the rest of the time disparaging what he thought Elons leadership would be like. Based on conjecture and feelings. Do better, maybe a little research. Have Elon on to talk about Super Heroes and his leadership philosopky.

  • I really enjoy listening while in the car, waking, or even mowing the grass. The self-admitted overly principled approach really drives learning about agile and the core values you take to work and life with some fun banter to keep things interesting. Check it out!
