Episode 26: Johnny Sheeley (Fanatics)

Authority Issues

In this episode, rachel, Kendall, and Johnny talk about:

• The location of rachel's socks
• Career growth via dissatisfaction
• Johnny's path through tech-art school, bus driving, web advertising, high-end apparel customer experiences...and the common thread of communication
• The complexity of the hardware-sofware interchange
• MEEP MEEP! And other tales of brute-forcing things
• Why an interpretive dance is the last thing Johnny would ever want to do
• Why providing IT services for a non-technical org is harder than it looks
• Managing one's ratio of dedication to good work-life balance, and seeing it more clearly from the manager vs individual contributor perspective
• Kendall's evil overlord tendencies
• The stress of over-accountability vs authority
• Dispassionate leadership and when it's right to focus on the outcomes only
• Johnny's enjoyment of recreational falling down and cookie baking
• How obvious it is that Kendall has never cooked anything
• The butter and sugar of leadership: giving a shit about people
