What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…
Yeah yeah yeah, late to the party as always....real late this time! Mind you there is good reason, it's been my health once more, and it's a pain. Well, a short and sweet episode this time, although a little different, I try my hand at a little audio editing (let me know what you think), and I got hold of some audio where Jim Carrey says what he thinks about the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie and playing Robotnik. Also, a Scientology documentary, a second redubbed movie and delayed unboxing announcement and...The Meatrix? Oh yeah, and it contains traces of OddWolf...and no Teacups. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ZenlessPopcorn/message…

OK, this isn't an episode, and is short, sweet (maybe) and to the point. I'm reviewing a movie called Long Lost and will be doing an interview/Q&A with the director and some of the cast. I want to know what kind of questions you would like me to ask. Check out the movie, it's free on Amazon Prime at http://bit.ly/LongLostAmazonPrime and let me know. Stay awesome guys! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ZenlessPopcorn/message…
Ah. This isn't a month later is it? What? Five months? FIVE WHOLE DAMN MONTHS? Whoa. Sorry about that. Life sat between me and the podcastamebob (patent pending) but in the meantime I had watched a few movies, did some interviews and learnt a bit more about social media and technology. So....on this episode I yammer away about the blog, Flight of the Navigator Special Edition, the "Life After" documentaries, chat with a Teacup about a bad movie, talk about a few upcoming Blu-Rays I'm after and ask the listeners to message me with questions and feedback....am I going to regret that? Anyways, plug in and get Zenless! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ZenlessPopcorn/message…
Teacups ahoy! Not one but two Teacups review movies on this podcast as well as some chat from us about movies, anything I've seen and any blog news. P.S.

After technical, medical, and mental issues the podcast returns! Yes after the best (or worst, you decide) part of a year I bring you the second episode of the ZP Podcast that I guess should have a title a bit more original at some point. Anyway, have a listen, have a laugh at me and the crazy TCs and let me know what you think! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ZenlessPopcorn/message…
