You Can't Laugh At Work 20 Ft. Shawn Anderson Of PDQ.com

February 07, 2022 09:30 - 35 minutes - 65.9 MB

If you were to make a mockumentary for your company, what would it look like? How would you poke fun at workplace norms, demotivating leaders, and most importantly, yourselves? Many leaders scoff at the idea of getting their teams together to create content rooted in irreverence, but PDQ.com did just that (3 times, actually) with tongue-in-cheek documentary-style videos on their website. Where most companies post self-inflating videos about how awesome it is to work there, PDQ.com takes th...

You Can't Laugh At Work 19 Ft. Rod Reasen Of Springbuk

December 20, 2021 09:30 - 32 minutes - 60 MB

Even if you're the CEO of a software company that saves lives, a little bit of humor goes a long way as a leader. Inspired by a freak incident involving his daughter, a cancer scare, and Sour Patch Kids, Rod Reasen founded Springbuk, a company that helps other companies prevent disease with data. Through radical people-first acts like honesty (gasp!), recognition (shock!), and natural curiosity (wha-??), Indianapolis-based Springbuk has built a culture of innovation that incorporates the el...

Ep. 78 - Politicians Ft. Andrew Rudick

November 29, 2021 09:30 - 50 minutes - 58.3 MB

Whether you're on the red team, the blue team, both teams, or you hate the fact that there are teams in the first place, you've got an opinion on politics. And typically, to each person, that opinion is gospel. Yet, a vital role of comedy in society is to challenge the authority of gospel -- especially the people who perpetuate an us-vs.-them status quo: politicians. Comedian Andrew Rudick joins us to prove that, even if it's one with whom you agree, you CAN laugh at politicians. In this epis...

Life is full of contradictions and unfair double standards, and when they're systemically baked into societal constructs, such as policing in black neighborhoods, lack of healthy food in low income areas, etc. they can be extra frustrating. Comedy is about releasing the tension caused by these things with a laugh, because laughter can point these incongruities out in a non-threatening way, and connect people with differing opinions.
