    New Generational Challenges

    This week on Third Fork—what does it mean to grow up in a world that’s changing faster than ever? Tansley and Ryan explore the realities younger generations are navigating—from AI to the lasting impact of the pandemic. Ryan reflects on his own kids and the future they’re stepping into, while Tansley sees something just as powerful: a deep and steady sense of hope. They bring it into the workplace, too—where multiple generations are learning, stretching, and sometimes struggling to understand each other. But they come back to one truth: No matter how much evolves, our need for real human connection remains—and it matters more than ever.

    Today, Tansley and Ryan talk about candor. Specifically, when and how you should tell someone that something is wrong or that they might want to fix something. Candor is kind!  A few great examples they discuss:  "You have some broccoli in your teeth" or "Is there something off with the data in this slide?" and ofcourse "Tansley... you have two different boots on." A really fun epsiode with some real practical advice on those awkward encounters we all face.

    Spring Forward!

    This week on Third Fork, Tansley and Ryan reflect not just on the actual seasonal time change but on how one might spring a head in life or work.  Ryan talked a lot about the seasonality and importance of a reset to prep for the next season and how as an individual and a team you might get there... he also shares his new obsession with Cloudcode.  Tansley shares how at orsa smaller sprints help chunk out the larger goals when we are looking at both short and long term horizons. She also shares that we might just want to ask ourselves, "what makes me happy" and make sure we are intentional about incorporating those things in our seasons.
