For those who love systems and creating structure out of chaos

As an INTJ, I love designing systems and structure, increasing efficiency, and decreasing confusion and duplication. With Sophia’s OOUX content and platform, I feel like I finally found a tribe that thinks similarly and overlaps with that interest (obsession ?). Nerds unite!

Convos get a bit complex

I love OOUX and admire Sophia for taking this concept from a blog post to an industry-changing skill set. But often times these episodes get long and really complex. I often find myself tuning out 15 minutes in when a guest is in because the chat immediately dives into a problem space I have no context of. I enjoyed the early episodes of how OOUX came to be and talking about the process.

My plea is to shorten the episodes or edit the show so there is more of a linear narrative.
