Listen "20 - Phasing Out Phrases: The Corporate Buzzword Audit"
Episode Synopsis
"One throat to choke." "Peek behind the kimono." "Let's go." You've heard them all, probably cringed, and maybe said a few yourself.John ran an experiment: he analyzed earnings calls from the top 50 tech companies and found that buzzword usage spikes when performance tanks. Turns out corporate jargon is just expensive filler.We go through our personal lists of phrases we'd retire, debate better alternatives, and admit which ones we're guilty of using. John hates "fly the plane while we build it." Nate makes the case against military jargon in software. And we discover that "puts and takes" might actually be useful.Also: the difference between bison and buffalo, why crystallized knowledge matters more as you age, and John's continued quest to disconnect from his phone.New Episodes every Tuesday Videos and clips available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettintoMarketPod
