Episode 6. My Calendar Is A Jackson Pollock And I Do Nothing

from Pray for Rain · host Jack Willis

We've never lived in a time where you can get paid so much to do so little.In this episode, I rant about how Machiavelli would grift a modern tech company. I cover the "Fabian Strategy" of avoiding work, weaponizing the word "kiddo," and using the Three C's (Calendars, Children, and COVID) to shield yourself from accountability.Also, I talk about HBO's Rome at the end because I miss historical fiction.Timestamps:0:00 - The laptop class1:33 - The two-sub sandwich incident3:54 - The Machiavelli Playbook7:29 - Failing fast & sports metaphors10:00 - Weaponized collaboration15:00 - The "Next Quarter" trap19:17 - The Three C's: Calendars23:13 - The Three C's: Children ("Kiddo")25:11 - The Three C's: COVID30:30 - The cost to your soul32:28 - Why we need more shows like HBO's Rome
