Welcome to year two of The Process Debt Podcast! In this episode, Chris and Toby explore one of the most complex—and timely—processes of all: how the U.S. government shuts down.From “turning off the lights” in Washington to the ripple effects affecting families, communities, and the economy, the hosts analyze the shutdown through a new perspective they call P.U.M.P. — Process, Unintended Consequences, Money, and Power.They examine how failures in process at a large scale mirror the same dysfunctions found inside businesses: lack of long-term vision, incentives that reward short-term thinking, and the painful cost of ignoring the machinery that keeps everything running smoothly.It’s a sharp, balanced discussion that blends humor, curiosity, and critical thinking—complete with a few detours into tax policy, inflation, and even how Microsoft once forgot to renew an SSL certificate.Tune in for:Why “process debt” is as relevant to Congress as it is to corporationsThe real consequences of halting the world’s largest organizationHow incentives influence (and sometimes derail) both politics and businessA reminder that restarting broken systems is never as simple as flipping a switch🎙️ Process. Unintended Consequences. Money. Power. Welcome back to The Process Debt Podcast. Year Two begins now.
