    The Task List Apocalypse: That Time Marketing Got Sent to the Warehouse

    What happens when your perfectly curated task list meets a crisis it can’t triage? You get sent to the warehouse. In this episode, Nate (Performance) and Di (Creative) pull back the curtain on the “Task List Apocalypse” at their day job. They cover the whiplash of a “polite panic” season, the 90-degree demand spike that buried operations, and the unhinged moment they were flown out to pack boxes (and research poly-bag sealers). Tune in for a real-talk post-mortem on: The Systems Break: The exact moment Nate resorted to voice-to-text and Di’s blended system crumbled. The “Chaos Hangover”: How to dig out from the EOY pile-up (recaps, budgets, & roadmaps). The “Type A” Rebuild: Actionable fixes, including Nate’s ‘Project Red Phone’ and ‘Operation: Clone the Process.’ A deep dive into the task management tools we actually use to GSD, including MS To-Do, Power Automate, Monday.com, and a full breakdown of Microsoft Loop.

    Scaling Yourself: The Art of Strategic Surrender

    You’re the visionary, the lead salesperson, the head of product… and the person who has to fix the printer. Every founder hits a wall where the business can’t grow because they can’t scale. For Type-A control enthusiasts, the idea of letting go is a personal nightmare. In this episode, Nate and Di tackle the hardest part of growth: the shift from being an Operator (in the trenches, pulling the levers) to an Orchestrator (on the podium, conducting the symphony). Tune in to learn: Nate’s data-driven framework for letting go with dashboards, KPIs, and mroe. Di’s system for “cloning your creative brain” by building a Brand Bible that scales your company’s voice and vision. How to avoid the “Automation Trap” where creating efficiency for the company creates a bottleneck around you. Why growing your people (even if they leave) is the only real way to grow your business. Stop drowning in the day-to-day. Start building the systems that set you free.

    Beyond the Demo: The Human Error in Your AI Rollout

    You invested a small fortune in a shiny new AI platform, sent out the logins, and were met with… the sound of crickets. It’s a story playing out in offices everywhere, and the problem isn’t the technology. It’s the human connection. Teams don’t resist change; they resist ambiguity. In this episode, Nate and Di break down why even the best tech fails and give you the Type A: Unhinged playbook for rolling out AI without inciting a full-scale mutiny. Stop demoing features and start demoing outcomes. This is your guide to connecting powerful tools to the people who actually need to use them. In this episode, we deliver the 3-Rule Playbook: Rule 1: Frame the Mission, Not the Mandate: Learn how to create immediate buy-in by giving the tool a shared purpose. Rule 2: Demo Outcomes, Not Clicks: Discover the power of showing the magic trick (the finished product) instead of the boring process. Rule 3: Foster Curiosity, Don’t Force Compliance: Why a playful “sandbox” approach beats rigid compliance metrics every time. Plus: We share our biggest AI “icks” and the most unhinged (but brilliant) ways we’ve seen AI used at work. Need to fix your tech adoption and create some organized chaos?

    The Man with the Red Phone: Controlling Chaos at 30,000 Feet

    What happens when a Type A personality is responsible for thousands of lives at 30,000 feet? You get someone like Ted, a man who literally had a red phone in his office—and not for decoration. After a career in the Air Force, Ted spent decades inside the FAA, moving from the high-pressure seat of an air traffic controller to investigating crash sites and ultimately helping lead the team that redesigned the entire U.S. national airspace. He has made a living turning potential chaos into meticulous order. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on the moments that defined his career. We get into the high-stakes, goosebump-inducing stories from inside the control tower and explore how a Type A mindset can be both a superpower and a challenge in a world where there is zero room for error. In this episode, we cover: The monumental task of redesigning the national airspace (and the resistance you face). How to manage the immense pressure and responsibility of air traffic control. Transitioning a lifetime of government expertise into the private consulting world. The Type A’s struggle with retirement and the challenge of finding purpose after a life of structure. One critical lesson from a career spent keeping the skies safe. Whether you’re a fellow Type A, fascinated by high-stakes professions, or just want to hear stories you won’t get anywhere else, this episode is for you.
