- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast The Outliers Inn: "Where Do We Go From Here?" A Summary for People Who Were There and Still Aren't Sure What Happened The Gang Attempts Slam Poetry (With Mixed Results) JP and Mule kicked things off by doing what any serious business podcast does: planning to perform slam poetry inspired by WKRP in Cincinnati and The Partridge Family. JP fresh off delivering a keynote (and surviving the pregame), proposed dividing the poetry into paragraphs for maximum efficiency — because if you're going to be absurd, you might as well be organized about it. Zoom Does […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast Welcome to The Outliers Inn: Where Failure Is a Launchpad and Redundancy Is a "Plot Twist!" Greetings, fellow misfits and spreadsheet-scarred consultants! Welcome to another delightfully dysfunctional episode of The Outliers Inn, the podcast where career detours are not only expected—they're celebrated. This episode's theme? "Falling Up"—because sometimes, getting fired, downsized, or reorganized out of existence is just what the career doctor ordered. Around here, we call that "promotion by ejection." Host JP kicks things off by revealing that nearly everyone who's ever left his business has ended up in a better job—with one unfortunate […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast The conversation took off like the flyover of the Thunderbirds at Super Bowl LIV, bouncing between the thrilling game's overtime drama and what got into Kelce's shorts; ending with Mule and JP diving into the excitement of the game and pondering how the new rules could shake things up. The conversation quickly turned to the theme of the gathering; Artificial Intelligence (AI). JP wondered how it's possible to have Artificial Intelligence when we haven't mastered real intelligence. Even Ricky Gervais' jabs at the intelligence of the "average person on the street", where he makes the […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast Welp, to start-off the year, JP pulled a major boner. We got together for this session on January 8th and it was a pretty good session; that is, until JP realized he forgot to hit the "record" button at the end of the session when he went to turn the recording off… DOH! So, you will understand the much deserved razzing at the beginning of the session as everyone takes turns bustin' on JP. Mule starts us off with a prediction that the robotics team that he coaches will crush all the other teams on […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast Welcome to another episode of The Outliers Inn With it being near the end of another year the theme of this episode is endings and beginnings where we will speak with our guests about what might have ended for them this past year and what they look forward to beginning in the next. We have a few new guests at The Outliers Inn; in addition to the regular irregular Stéphane from Belgium and your cohosts JP and Mule, Donna from upstate New York and Peter from the UK have joined us. Unfortunately Don the beer […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast So welcome back to The Outliers Inn! In spite of the incredible odds that recent history has demonstrated, Mule finally gets the timing right and is able to join as the co-host. It's just as well, because Don, "The Beer Man" is MIA for today's episode. Mule starts by sharing the reports of automobile break-ins throughout California are real. He was on assignment and went into a restaurant in a nice area of town and folks broke into his rental vehicle and stole his computer bag; notebook, phone, papers, all gone. … Note to self; […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast So welcome back to The Outliers Inn! As is getting to be habit, our co-host Mule has somehow managed to weasel his way out of working his shift with some lame excuse about a traffic jam around Washington DC. How a person can live so long there and not expect traffic; well, perhaps we pick that up another time. It is a good thing that my irregular regular, Don "the beer man" Burshnick is willing and able to work both sides of the bar. JP Starts the conversation by sharing and experience from high school […]
- by The Outliers InnVideo Version About the Podcast Another episode of The Outliers Inn with "The Beer Man" joining JP and Mule as co-co-host. Maybe he will become a regular co-co-host (he's already an irregular regular guest here at The Outliers Inn. After a brief acknowledgement that the Super Bowl was pretty entertaining, but nobody we know really cared who won, we get into more interesting topics. JP shares his recent experiences visiting southern Africa for an assignment with him starting in Johannesburg (Jo'berg) and then going to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He had been there many times before from around 1995(ish) through 2010(ish) and […]
The Outliers Inn
Welcome to The Outliers Inn; a podcast where respectful irreverence and self-deprecating humor is the order of the day! It’s a place where we can be a lot less serious about ourselves, what we do, what our businesses do, and the manner in which they do it. The Outliers Inn is always serving up juicy morsels, treats, and tidbits – but you have to bring your own legal beverage of choice.
