This episode of A New Order of Things is a Talk-O Tuesday edition. I had a very insightful conversation with Tracy Wiedmeyer, Co-founder of Gripp.
From the Gripp website:
Tracey and co-founder Jenkin were looking for better ways to do things, and with both having lived in and around the agriculture and construction scene, they observed inefficiencies related to staying on top of things were simply too ridiculous to ignore. With both being careered technologists, they got together to create a solution to solve the headaches of the operations teams of the world (while keeping their finance teams happy.)
Our discussion delved into the challenges of founding a startup, exploring the tumultuous journey of overcoming initial obstacles and the significance of finding the right co-founder. Tracy shared valuable insights into how Gripp has navigated the ever-evolving business landscape, emphasizing the importance of adaptability. We also delved into the nuances of leadership, as Tracy discussed discovering a personalized leadership style, highlighting its crucial role in steering a startup toward success. The conversation was a deep dive into the realities of entrepreneurship, offering practical advice for those grappling with the complexities of building and leading a startup.

Hi all!
Happy Holidays!
In this episode, I am offering up some ideas on drift, KPIs, and change initiatives.
Coming soon in Season 2, we will continue to dive deeper into these ideas of bureaucracy-busting leadership, and their reasoning, and look into real-world observations and how we can ensure these drive us to excellence. We will also examine how they affect our creativity, lives, businesses, and organizations.
Don't forget! I am adding Q&E time in future episodes and creating some episodes completely devoted to answering questions from you, the listener. So, please send me your questions!

Hi all!
In our seventeenth episode, we look into The Fallacy of Comparison and how we judge ourselves against another person. This apples-to-oranges comparison holds no actual value and is detrimental. Not only do we define the fallacy in the episode, but we dive into how to mitigate and control it and how it creates the current term of the day, Imposter Syndrome.
