What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

Episode 182 celebrates Valentine's Day in a roundabout way. It begins with a birthday celebration of the greatest basketball player ever, and pop culture icon, Michael Jordan . A dominant champion who changed the game of basketball. A hugely influential athlete in terms of his endorsement prowess. MJ was one of the world's most well-known faces in the 1980s and 1990s. We'll do a deep dive into his impact. We used to make it a Blockbuster night all throughout the 1990s. It was not due to this wacky employee training video. This week we go back in the day to look, laugh, and cringe, at a weird Blockbuster Video training tape from 1990. It is led by perhaps the most obnoxious character ever, Buster Sales. The Top 5 will share some of the worst love songs ever . These are probably not the ones you want on your Spotify playlist if you want a romantic evening. Muskrats, Meatloaf, and Bubblegum galore.

Send us a text Two shopping-based game shows? Weird but true news stories from the 1960s? Laughable 1980s music fails? Episode 181 kicks off the month of love with some nostalgia sweeter than candy hearts. It all starts with a look back to the strangeness of the past. Weird but true news stories from the 1960s are on the docket. From innocent to malicious, from dirty to downright crazy, these stories all seem like they couldn't be true, but oh they are. Shopping can be a contact sport, just ask people during Black Friday sales. However, we go way back in the day to look at a pair of shopping-based game shows. Supermarket Sweep and Shop Til You Drop both carved a niche in the 1990s. Fast-paced, fun, frantic, these words can all describe these shows. The 1980s were a great decade for music. Judging by this week's Top 5 some might disagree. We will look back at some of the biggest music failures of the 80s . From albums to videos to musicals that shouldn't have existed. It's all here. There is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the first Groundhog Day celebration. For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon !

Send us a text What were some of the most bizarre 900 numbers of the 1980s and 1990s? How in the world did crash test dummies become celebrities? What are some infamous banned drinks? Episode 180 answers those questions with a heavy prescription of nostalgia. It begins with the story behind the crash test dummies . No, not the 1990s alternative band. We look at how a safety measuring tool became a beloved part of 1980s pop culture. You will learn a lot from these dummies. We go way back in the day and dive into some of the weirdest 900 numbers of the 1980s and 1990s . In a time where it seemed like every celebrity, musician, and cartoon character had their own hotline these are the ones that really make you shake your head and laugh. This week's Top 5 showcases banned drinks . These were at one point popular but have since been removed from shelves or so drastically altered that they don't resemble what people knew.

Send us a text The return of Me v. AI Top 5. Some of the cutting-edge technology from the 1960s. Fun times playing Vegas Dream for the NES. Episode 179 packs so much nostalgia that it might end up spilling over the sides. It begins with a trip back over half a century. Long before smartphones, 8K televisions, and 3D printing technology was far different. We take a look back to the 1960s to some of the technology that was cutting edge at the time. You might be surprised at what was on the world's radar back then. Vegas Dream for the Nintendo Entertainment System might not have been a runaway hit but it was a lot of kids introduction into the glitzy world of casinos. For me, the game reminds me of my Nana. For the rest of you, it might be a mash-up of high rollers, robbers, and falling chandeliers? It is the return of Me v. AI Top 5 . I battle it out with ChatGPT over the best 1990s television show themes . For the first time, there is an actual AI superstar to read out ChatGPT's answers, although not the one I intended. There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around Ozzy Osbourne and his infamous 'bat incident.' For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon !

Episode 178 brings the heat of nostalgia for the cold days of winter. New Year, New You...old equipment? We kick off with a look back at the creation of a fitness revolution. The Nautilus brand of exercise machines set the standard for all others to follow. Though primitive by today's standards the original machines of half a century ago are nonetheless highly influential. Shoplifting is the scourge of all business owners. Apparently never more so than in the early 1980s when everyone was a thief. We go way back in the day to review an anti-shoplifting educational short film. Shoplifters: The Criminal Hordes shows some of the wacky but real ways people would steal and some of the ways to combat it. Every legend started somewhere. This week's Top 5 features some of the greatest debut songs ever . These are the songs that kickstarted some of the most important careers in music history.

Send us a text A look back at 1995 the year in music. What in the world was The Noid? Some of the early fails of the FOX television network. Episode 177 helps light a fire of nostalgia during the dark days of winter. The show kicks off with a killer guitar riff and thumping bass line as we look at 1995 the year in music . This is the first of two parts . It covers January - June 1995. The rest of the year will be covered in July. The 1980s were filled with unique and sometimes downright weird product mascots. Perhaps none exemplified those descriptions like The Noid . A creation of Domino's Pizza the Noid was meant to shine a positive light on the pizza chain's quality and delivery service. Did it work? We'll do a deep dive. Although it seems like forever the FOX television network has been around for less than four decades. Those initial years of the late 1980s were filled with growing pains. This week's Top 5 takes a look at some of the biggest show failures of the FOX network in the 1980s . Married with Children and The Simpsons are NOT on this list.

Episode 174 is like sitting beside a crackling fire with a cup of hot cocoa, only in podcast form. It begins with commercials. You've heard of The Twelve Days of Christmas? Well, this is twelve of the most iconic and beloved holiday ads of all-time . They might promote beer, soda, candy, and more, but they are chock full of warm and fuzzy nostalgia. Some technology changes the world, like radio, television, and the Internet. Other technology comes in with hype and departs a failure. We go way Back In the Day to look at the history of LaserDisc . It promised to change the landscape of visual media and ended up a footnote in the technological trash bin. But why? X-Men, Superman, and Batman these are not. In a new Top 5, we look at some strange and often hilarious advertising mascots that graced their own comic books . An added bonus is the DC/Marvel crossover that could still happen someday.

Send us a text Let's go back to the mall! In Episode 173 we are traveling back inside the hallowed halls of the indoor shopping mall. Back in Episode 129, we looked at some of the popular, beloved , and maybe some lesser-known mall stores that attracted customers, or perhaps at least hordes of wandering mall rats during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s . Well, now we're back for Part 2! A visit to the mall was always a special and exciting time back in the day. Although the indoor mall is still a popular destination today, its heyday was definitely the '70s through the '90s. You didn't need much money as the 'mall rat' identity only required you to be inside a mall hanging out with friends. Kids of the day could spend hours sitting on benches or wandering the corridors looking into some of the stores that will be mentioned this week. How many of these stores did you spend hard-earned money at? If you think any of your favorites have been left out, listen to Episode 129 , maybe they're over there!

From its accidental roots to becoming a staple of the 1980s home shopping redefined consumer spending habits. Today everything is 'smart.' Smartphones, smart watches, smart devices that control every aspect of your home. However, as we go way Back In the Day there had to be a first. We are going to look back at the original smart toy. 2-XL was an educational robot that made its debut in the late 1970s. How did it change the world? There are plenty of video games that end up being unpopular. It takes a special kind of failure for a game to be downright hated. A new Top 5 is going to look at some of the most hated video games ever made. Whether unfinished, too difficult, or unbelievably offensive, there are no winners here.

Episode 171 will stuff you full of nostalgia and even provide some leftovers. It begins with the story of the rise and fall of the iconic brand Tupperware . For decades it has been synonymous with food storage. However today Tupperware is at a crossroads. Whether they survive or fade into the past we'll look at the impact of the brand this week. One product that came in with an explosion and quickly faded away was Crystal Pepsi . Once hailed as the soda of the future it ended up becoming a punchline for failure. We go back to the beginning though as we review an employee training video about selling and marketing Crystal Pepsi. This video will make you think of what might have been in between loud laughter. Hopefully, you will not see these foods on your table this year. A new Top 5 will showcase more weird old Thanksgiving recipes . These range from odd to unique to just plain gross.
