What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

It happens! Once! Even the great Teddy Hoffman can get knocked off his game. We're continuing to talk Murder One this week, with three more chapters that show just how boring most of trial work. And yet, the show remains entertaining? We don't know, it's kind of a miracle. Then, The Wire continues making things miserable for just about everybody in Baltimore, as bad choices lead to more bad choices and everyone's getting pulled down by the "Undertow."…
Samuel Clemens, that is, not us. We're kicking off The Next Generation 's sixth and penultimate season this week, with "Time's Arrow, Pt II," "Realm of Fear," and "Man of the People," and whoops, they're all kind of crap. At least the Barclay episode shows that the crew is getting better at creating a healthy work environment for non-neurotypical coworkers. Way to be allies, Next Gen crew. Oh, and then we talk about The Wire , as Nicky is living a Bruce Springsteen song but wouldn't know it because he listens to crap nu-metal bands in "Hard Cases."…
Murder One continues (and continues to be awesome) this week. There's a magnificent Raymond Chandler mystery happening here; pity it keeps stopping to act out rejected LA Law spec scripts. Also, The Wire 's second season starts to heat up with "Hot Shots."
We wrap up the fifth season of The Next Generation with "The Inner Light" and "Time's Arrow," and it's one of those times where J. has difficulty explaining why something is so great because it affects him on a deep and personal level quite profoundly so instead he has to kind of crap on it as a defense mechanism, and also "Time's Arrow" is here. It's good in ways that don't matter and crappy in the ways that do! (Did I just write a new tagline for our podcast?) This episode synopsis is a damn mess, but we also talk about The Wire season two, and McNulty's "Collateral Damage."…
See, Murder One doesn't have "episodes," it has "chapters." This is back when showrunners could talk like this and sound novel, not pretentious. We're talking the mid-90s ABC experiment Murder One , and boy was it ahead of its time (and, unsurprisingly, regressive in a few ways). Then we kick off season two of The Wire , with "Ebb Tide." McNulty's on a boat!…
We're back on The Next Generation this week, with "Imaginary Friend," "I, Borg," and "The Next Phase." Then, we wrap up the first season of The Wire with "Sentencing."
We're talking about the final three episodes of Cupid they got to make before the show was sent to farm upstate where it can run and play. No, you can't visit, but it'll be happy, just trust us, sweetie. And speaking of buying the farm, we're talking about The Wire , too, and its penultimate season one episode, "Cleaning Up," which has just one question: Where's Wallace?…
Just kidding -- he's not dead. His career might be, though, after a suspicious accident at Starfleet Academy. It's Star Trek: The Next Generation and "The First Duty," And Ron Moore's got a writing credit, so you know there's a dead pilot and cover-ups and lying and totally boss speeches. But then we have to watch "Cost of Living" and "The Perfect Mate," and they suck and are terrible, so keep the focus on the good episode where it belongs. Afterward, things get heated (even more so) on The Wire , as there's an officer down and the entire city goes on "The Hunt."…
We're back! Welcome to 2019, everybody. It takes a while to get back on track -- we have a retraction to make, then we ramble a bit about that whole Black Mirror: Bandersnatch business -- but then we take up our old habit: watching episodes of the '90s classic (?) Cupid and kinda frowning about them. Hey, one of these is pretty great! Afterwards, we spend a few minutes on The Wire , as McNulty's arrogance, Daniels's ambition, and everyone's general incompetence gets the details exactly where we knew it would: with bullets flying, bodies in the street, and someone paying "The Cost."…
Why, it's Christmas Day, sir! Indeed, we provide this shorter-than-usual episode to tide you over during the holiday season. We exchange television gifts -- an episode of The Odd Couple from Robby, an episode of The West Wing from J. -- and then chat about The Wire 's "Game Day" for a bit. A fine way to round out the year. See you in 2019!…
It tends to happen when we talk about memorable Next Gen episodes, doesn't it? We're talking this week about "Ethics," "The Outcast," and "Cause and Effect," and boy is one of these episodes still unfortunately relevant. Then, we dish on The Wire , in which Omar offers a famous quote, Bunk sleeps in a bunk, and Stringer goes to school for some "Lessons."…
It's Thanksgiving and we're here to talk about Star Trek: The Next Generation . It's "The Masterpiece Society," "Conundrum," and "Power Play," and somehow the least dumb one is the worst one? Who knows. Also, we talk about The Wire some. Come out of your food coma and give it a listen.
We can't quite get over just how ***1990s!!!*** Cupid is. Every fiber of this thing's being is just drenched in its late-90s vibe, and that's before Lisa Loeb shows up. We watched "A Fractured Fairy Tale," "First Loves," and "Meat Market," and talk about the good and the bad. Then we discuss The Wire 's fifth episode, "The Pager," for as long as J.'s dog will let us. He's demanding, that dog.…
