Hi, we’re Tom and Corissa from Crown & Reach, and this is Tentacles.
With over 100 episodes behind us, this might just be the best bad podcast out there. Unfiltered, unedited, and deeply curious.
We talk strategy, sense-making, and the blurry edges between work and the rest of life — because sometimes, the only way through the fog is to feel your way forward, limbs outstretched.
While we're migrating podcasts across, you can find all the goodness from our first 100 or so episodes here: https://shows.acast.com/triggerstrategy

Is your very job dissolving? You're not imagining it.
As festive redundancy season rolls around (you've noticed the seasonal pattern too, right?), we explore how the boundaries around professional roles have been blurring and melting, and what that means for anyone who feels like their job identity is slipping away.
Using the corollary of music – from vinyl singles through to algorithmic playlists — we map that to knowledge work. How do patterns of democratisation, "AI", and evolving business models play into what a job even is?
And we look at how these cycles always create new opportunities from the mess. The big question is how to reposition yourself if the ground keeps shifting.
Including-but-not-limited-to:
● The bundling and unbundling pattern: from singles to albums to MP3s to playlists, and how it applies to your career right now
● "Mandatory entrepreneurship" and the pressure to become self-employed even when you'd rather just do good work (hat tip Lex Roman)
● How roles like designer, engineer, and product manager are blurring beyond recognition
● Why jack-of-all-trades is hot again (and what that means for specialists)
● Democratisation that scales quality vs. democratisation that cuts costs
● How to joyfully remix your own job: what do you actually like doing and what would you happily leave behind?
● Henrik Karlsson's musician story: what your role "ought" to mean vs. what you actually want to do
● Practical strategies for increasing your luck surface area (without becoming a hustle bro)
● The grieving process that comes with career rebirth
For anyone who's wondering why their carefully-built expertise suddenly feels less solid than it used to, and what the heck is next.
