Listen "Focus Time Failed (Backchannel)"
Episode Synopsis
Ellie launched a “deep work” initiative, complete with color-coded focus blocks and surveys to measure engagement. But when silence came back as the only response, she declared the program a failure. Ezra challenges her on whether absence of data might have been the very proof she was looking for. A story about quiet, metrics, and missing the point.👉 This conversation sits between the executive’s doubts in “It Didn’t Land” and the HR rep’s regrets in “We Brought Her In,” all part of the "Quiet Architects" series.Support the showHumans in the Loop is independently produced by a team of neurodivergent creators and collaborators.
