All right.

Speaker 2: 0:27

Good evening.

Speaker 3: 0:28

Hi Stacey.

Speaker 2: 0:30

Hello Katie. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good too. As everyone that's watching can see, there are only two cocktails this evening.

Speaker 2: 0:44

If you're listening there are only two of us One cocktail down. We are one cocktail down. Yes, amy is feeling under the weather and decided that wouldn't be the greatest to be on the podcast tonight. We kind of delayed as long as we could and we need to record tonight, so we have a episode to drop, so we hated to wait any longer. The show must go on. The show must go on. Yes, yes. So we were disappointed that she's feeling pretty crappy. A lot of stuff's been going around. Has it been going around there too?

Speaker 3: 1:26

Yes, Big time. Yeah, and um, and I feel, I feel like it's everywhere. So when I, when I jump on and do my shows, I'm talking to people who are all over the country and they're saying it too oh, I've been so sick, you know. So it's like I don't know. It's flu season, I guess it's flu season.

Speaker 2: 1:45

Yeah, yeah, we've had three out of the four of us at work at it, so we're hoping not to get the fourth one sick who's on vacation, so hopefully she comes back and misses it. We all had, like the norovirus flu junk. I've heard COVID going around, so yeah, I don't think that's either. One of those is what Amy has. So, yeah, just a lot of junk at the moment, yeah, so hopefully our listeners are staying clear. Wash your hands, stay away from sick people. Stay home if you're sick.

Speaker 1: 2:23

Yes.

Speaker 2: 2:27

I know Not very good what was that.

Speaker 3: 2:37

If you're sick, stay home, yeah, yeah, and I think a lot of people have a problem doing that. Get rest, yeah, and I think a lot of people have a problem doing that?

Speaker 2: 2:45

Get rest. Yeah, it's hard to do because you know, even like when I was sick, by the end I was feeling good, but I know you're still contagious for a while. Yeah yeah, just good to stay home, yeah, so what should we?

Speaker 2: 3:04

talk about tonight? To stay home, yeah. So what should we talk about tonight? Yeah, our topic tonight is things we see online or corporate jargon that just drives us nuts. Is our topic tonight? We have a few of Amy's as well. We quizzed her to tell us what hers were. I'll go first with one of mine that I all of a sudden cannot stand. Okay, that is all of these hacks, you know. Do you see that online where they say here's a hack for this and a hack for that? Yeah, you know what I mean. And to me, a hack is. I even looked up the definition. It's like a, a, you know. Easy, not fancy, but effective solution, right, well?

Speaker 2: 4:00

the one that finally tipped me over the edge was I was scrolling, like we all do, and this one woman said, oh, I have this travel hack. And I'm thinking, okay, the travel hack. And all it was was that she was trying to, you know, influence and push this three piece travel outfit. You know that wouldn't wrinkle. You can shove it in your suitcase, shove it in your you know, carry-on bag, whatever, and it won't wrinkle. And it's like no, that's not a hack, that's just maybe a good idea.

Speaker 3: 4:35

A tip, a tip.

Speaker 2: 4:38

And here's something that will work. It's not a hack, yeah, yeah. So everything is all of a sudden a hack for this, not a hack, yeah, everything is always in a hack for this and a hack for that. So that's one I'm kind of tired of hearing.

Speaker 3: 4:49

Yeah, that's a good one. I'll be picking up on it more now, now that you know.

Speaker 2: 4:58

Right Now that we said it out loud yeah exactly.

Speaker 3: 5:05

So at this time of year you know now that everybody's kind of back at work and um, so many things just kind of shut down as we get to the end of the year. And I, how many messages did you get from people that they said let's circle back on this after the first of the year? So we've talked about that one before. That's a classic, classic one. It's one that is we joke about so much because it's you know people now, even when people say it legitimately say it, they kind of chuckle because they know they're using the term. That's super annoying. But I think it's funny when we start looking at social media now after the beginning of the new year and that meme pops up and it says oh god, everybody's circling back now that one was on my list too, because I just can't, can't stand it.

Speaker 2: 6:04

Yeah, and I don't know where that started. Did it really start? I think the first time I heard it was, you know, jen, I don't know what, her name, saki. You know that Biden's first press secretary kept using it over and over and it was just like no, yeah, oh, my God.

Speaker 3: 6:26

Yeah, so a really funny influencer to, or I don't know if she's an influencer or if she's just a social media person, but corporate Natalie is hilarious. I know all three of us follow her and are and share things that she puts out on social media. But you know, to our listeners, if you don't follow corporate Natalie on Instagram, she is hilarious and everything is parody and she is so. She nails it on the head every single time.

Speaker 2: 7:00

It's hilarious, yeah. Yeah, I don't know how we got. I Googled, like the you know most annoying, irritating corporate speak words and I'll be honest, I use way too many of them. You know what I mean. There's way too many of them in there that I that I use, you know, but yeah.

Speaker 3: 7:25

Yeah, I know. And then I have a whole list of them here and as I read down the list, I can actually envision the people in my life who, oh, that's what that person always says. Oh, that's what that person always says, so, best practices. I used to work with somebody a couple of companies ago. It was a guy, and I don't think a day went by that he did not say best practices maybe 10 times. I can't read it to the point where it starts to not mean anything anymore.

Speaker 2: 8:03

Yeah, I do use that, but not multiple times a day, only in the discussion of okay, what would be the best practice? You know that would be not very often would that come up? That's interesting. What else you?

Speaker 3: 8:19

got Mission critical. Isn't everything, isn't every mission critical I just I feel like it's so dramatic, like okay, we're not, we're not, uh, we're not going to the moon, no, we're not putting a rocket into um into orbit. That's kind I feel like mission critical. It kind of it sends me down that road, but meant to be essential to still like the why don't, why don't we just say essential to success.

Speaker 2: 8:59

Yeah, yeah, I mean, what do you get it? What's the opposite of that? You know, mission mediocre. You know everything you're doing is supposed to be top of the line. Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, amy brought up one. She doesn't like ideate. Oh, she hates that word, hates it. And I don't like it either. And in fact, at work, I'm going to guess. Five to eight years ago, you know, poet came out with ideation. So there was actual site that you went and you put in your ideas in ideation and the joke was, well, you put in a hundred thousand of them I don't care, not any of them are going to get done and they never did and it kind of went away. So it's just kind of like what a waste of time. Yeah, your ideation, your ideate. Yeah, you, just, you're brainstorming and you're looking for ideas. Why do we have to name it anything other than brainstorming?

Speaker 3: 10:04

so I was first introduced to that word it was probably around the time I started working at Capsule, so that was 2008. It was 2008. Word was used for the creative process into so that was a design firm, so that was the creative process. So this was when designers were sitting or sitting down and they were looking at a brief and they were starting to um, just throw ideas you know out onto not paper, but you know onto their um designing software. And so in 2008, that was a new term to me, but yeah, it shows up in different types of businesses and so now I feel like I've been removed from it. Now I don't feel like I see that term a lot, but I but I do hear people say well, let's, let's ideate on this, still using it.

Speaker 2: 11:12

Yeah, yeah, a little bit Interesting.

Speaker 3: 11:22

Let's see. Deep dive, no deep dive, no deep dive, yeah and that's one that I've been known to use, oh also. So, in addition to deep dive, um, I will also often say let's dig into this a little bit yeah, and I kind of wonder.

Speaker 2: 11:48

I don't hate that, though I don't hate deep dive or dig into this, I don't hate those yeah, um, I think mel robbins is the queen of let's unpack this unpack.

Speaker 2: 12:02

I have that on my list as well. Unpack it. Yes, let's unpack this Again. To me, that's still deep dive, or dig into it. I don't know why you got to call it unpack, yeah. Yeah, Amy had an odd one. She was looking through LinkedIn, I guess, and people were describing themselves as thought leaders. It's like a thought leader thought leader, you're leading thought. But her question was okay, who are the thought followers? If you're a thought leader, which you're very good at leading thoughts who are the thought followers? It doesn't make a lot of sense to be a thought leader, Aren't we all thought leaders? Yeah, that's an interesting description of yeah in the corporate world.

Speaker 3: 13:00

Yeah, interesting, and I so. I don't remember roughly the time frame when I started to see that phrase pop up. See it a lot on LinkedIn. Um, obviously, and it always kind of puzzled me as well, because I think, for the same reason, it's like, if you're a thought leader, um yeah, I, but I think it comes down to the fact that I don't think everybody is a thought leader. Not everybody is a thought leader. So um yeah, but I don't know, Sometimes it feels a little pompous to call yourself a thought leader.

Speaker 2: 13:44

I agree, I think it does yeah, yeah, I agree, I think it does yeah, yeah, for sure. What else do you have?

Speaker 3: 13:58

So I feel like the term ping me I think ping me starts to date people. Actually, I don't think you'd hear the younger generation say ping me.

Speaker 2: 14:13

No, what do they say? I don't know what they say. Hit me up, probably.

Speaker 3: 14:22

Maybe, yeah, I don't know. Actually, that's a good question. What do they say? Because I don't know? Actually, that's a good question. What do they say? Because I don't know? They like to communicate differently in the workplace in general and now I'm removed from this and I've always worked for small companies, so the younger generation that's coming into the corporate world I get a sense that they don't really like email. No, so if you're not using email, what are you using? Don't you kind of have to use email to communicate in the corporate world.

Speaker 2: 15:09

Well, it depends on who you're communicating with. I tell you, like we've all gone I told you this some other time we're all on Zoom phone now, so, which also includes Zoom chat, and so we have, I mean, obviously you can chat, you know, or instant message between just you know two people. You can also set up group after group after group after group, and so it seems to be a more what do I want to say? You know faster in the moment way of communicating, so like we'll have different groups based on what information is you know we're wanting? And you know, if you do that by email, you have to keep replying all to everybody, you know, over and over. Then read the email string where your IM group, you just go up a few conversations and you basically have the gist of it, and I would guess that younger generation probably likes that a lot better than going back and forth in an email. Okay, but I don't know. Like I said, that's just our, our groups, and how we've done it. Yeah, because email strings tend to get lengthy.

Speaker 3: 16:34

Yeah, Well, and then to the point. Where should this topic that's being discussed? Should this have been a meeting? Because, if you have to have that many back and forth conversations, back and forth exchanges. Perhaps it should have been a meeting so that you can get in.

Speaker 2: 17:07

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 17:08

I think you were frozen a little. Yeah, I think that's the dilemma a lot of times nowadays is you know, did we even have? Did we need to have a meeting or not need to have a meeting? Yeah, a lot of our email anymore, you know, might be sending files and large amounts of information instead of just ask a question, answer a question. You know that kind of back and forth type of thing. But you know, it doesn't seem like the young people like to be on the phone or in meetings or even talk to people. A lot of the times depends on what job you have. I will admit that ours is a very you know we talk to hundreds of people, so you can't be shy that way. But I can see where you know younger generation doesn't, doesn't want to have a phone conversation very easily yeah yeah, there was in.

Speaker 2: 18:15

In my search for irritating corporate jargon, there was a little section on you know new um. You know what I mean. New words that are popping up, Okay, Based on you know young people. You know the sus, you know what I mean All of those type words that young people are using.

Speaker 3: 18:41

I think it's always fun to see the list of new words that are going into the dictionary.

Speaker 2: 18:45

Into the dictionary. Yeah, that is interesting, I know we should pull those. We should pull those for a future episode and we should and go over what they mean, Because that's probably a good idea. You know, I don't know half the time what some of those words mean. It'd probably be a good idea Just to Define some In case you're you, In case you're you know, yeah, you're young people that you know, your kids, your grandkids, who knows?

Speaker 3: 19:14

So I you know, every once in a while I like to make Bo embarrassed and I mean, that's our job, it's our job as a parent. So I was talking to one of my coworkers who is 20, 28, 29 at the time, and she used the term um. She said did you know that now the shortened version of charisma, when someone has charisma, the shortened term is RIS. They have RIS, yeah.

Speaker 3: 19:45

And I'm like this was new to me. I'm like I've never heard of this before. Okay, so I found an opportunity at dinner. We were sitting at dinner, bill and I, beau and his girlfriend, and we had a really good waiter, really really good waiter, young man. He walked away from the table and I said that guy's got Riz the table. And I said that guy's got riz, and you would have thought that I, beau almost became unglued. He was like mom, he was disgusted, he was absolutely disgusted that I had I don't know that I'd used this term that I'd referred to hit to this waiter, you know who was probably his age, I don't know, but it's, it's kind of funny to use some of the terms around younger people. See their reaction, yeah.

Speaker 2: 20:44

Now, if they just said it it'd have been normal. But you can't say it, is that the thing?

Speaker 3: 20:48

You can't use it Apparently, the thing you can't use it Apparently. Yeah, apparently I can't.

Speaker 2: 20:53

Well, or he was mortified that you actually knew what it meant.

Speaker 3: 20:59

It seemed more that he was mortified that I used that term for this young man in this setting.

Speaker 2: 21:09

It seemed cringe he actually said mom, you're so cringe yeah, well, yeah, I know you get that a lot. So yeah, I know it's funny, funny the stuff they come up with. But then there's even like old words, like surreal. Yeah, half the time I don't even know what that means, I'm not even sure, but everybody uses it all the time like this is so surreal. So what does what does that word mean? I don't know. Like does it mean like it's? I don't know. We gotta look that up. It's hard to define. Surprising how great it is Something like that.

Speaker 2: 21:59

Or like this doesn't feel real. I can't believe that it's real. Yeah, probably. Yeah, it's so great I can't believe it's real. It's surreal. I don't know. Do we have a Google on that one?

Speaker 3: 22:16

Well, it pulled up surrealism.

Speaker 2: 22:20

This is one of Amy's words that she hates. She says it's way overused. Can't stand it when celebrities use that word.

Speaker 3: 22:29

Having the qualities. Okay, I hate definitions, so I looked up surrealism that tells you nothing.

Speaker 2: 22:44

No, that's not a okay. What does it mean to be?

Speaker 3: 22:48

surreal, marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream unbelievable fantastic. Intense irrational reality of a dream Unbelievable, fantastic. Yeah, it feels very dramatic why?

Speaker 2: 23:04

isn't it just unbelievably fantastic instead of surreal? This is so great. This is fantastic.

Speaker 3: 23:12

It's very dramatic. That's why here's another one that's super dramatic and unnecessarily complicated, disintermediate.

Speaker 2: 23:28

Disintermediate? Yes, and the definition of that is what. To eliminate the middleman oh, intermediate sure, so okay so why? Don't we just? Why don't we just eliminate the middleman?

Speaker 3: 23:47

I know, I don't know. And even though that's three words versus one, the one word isn't. It's too complicated, disintermediate. Let's just eliminate the middleman.

Speaker 2: 24:02

Yeah, everybody understands that that's an interesting one, very interesting, wow. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3: 24:19

Back to your word hack, or the concept of hacks, so one that showed up on my list was a hack. Have you heard?

Speaker 2: 24:26

of it, hackathon no.

Speaker 3: 24:30

So this is an intensive problem solving session.

Speaker 2: 24:33

So this is an intensive problem-solving session. Okay, again, aren't we just brainstorming, oh my. Oh, we like to talk you know, we should really start making up words and see if they stick. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 24:58

Because I think about that too. When things like sus become popular, who started it? Where did it come from?

Speaker 2: 25:05

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, because it had to move through. You know something, somebody famous or online or whatever had to say it. Yeah, and it stuck. I'm sure that's with Riz and all the other you know silly stuff, giat and who knows what else. All these weird things they say.

Speaker 2: 25:30

Somebody had to start it. So I think we'll start one. We'll have to think up something. We're going to start it. So I think we'll start one. We'll have to think up something. We're going to start. We're going to make up a word and it's going to be Okay, I'm sure, go viral. It's going to go viral for sure. Yeah, I think so, for sure. Yep, the last thing Amy has is she hates it when people start a response with I mean oh yeah, just say what you mean. You don't have to say you know well, I mean blah, blah, blah. Sometimes it's a filler, because you know I do fillers, I do a lot of fillers, and it's just a time filler to get to spit out what I'm really trying to say, yeah, it's like um or something like that.

Speaker 3: 26:26

Yeah, but it's, it's such an odd one and it really it sticks out like a sore thumb, especially like in interviews. You're watching popular culture interviews, things like that You'll typically see these younger. I'm stereotyping, but I mean I am, I'm stereotyping. I'm going to say like under 40-ish celebrity type people. Yeah, they'll start. So if, if, for our listeners or viewers, if you haven't heard, seen this or heard this before, what she's referring to is somebody will ask a question and then the person responding will start, will start their response with I mean, and that's the pause, that's the filler, but it's such a, such a weird out of place filler yeah, it's a strange one.

Speaker 2: 27:23

But yeah, you do hear it. I don't know it's a weird one. What else do you have? You have anything else? Um, anything weird, anything weird.

Speaker 3: 27:40

I mean I Trying to pull out the?

Speaker 2: 27:50

Most irritating I feel like I hit the most irritating ones. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 28:02

Like I said, a lot of the ones when you google, I use them actually. Yeah, you too. Oh well, I'm using them less now as I am working as a team of one um, probably you don't tell yourself you need to.

Speaker 2: 28:17

you know, dig into this or unpack it or am working as a team of one.

Speaker 3: 28:19

Probably you don't tell yourself you need to, you know dig into this or unpack it, or we need to have a. You know, no, if I need to run things up the flagpole, it's, you know, literally just saying, hey, here's what we're going to do.

Speaker 2: 28:35

Just telling yourself to get in the right mindset to do it oh funny, that was one that showed up on my list.

Speaker 3: 28:43

Let's run this up the flagpole Run up the flagpole.

Speaker 2: 28:46

Yeah, I don't think I have ever used that term. No, no, never, never, yeah, no, no, never, yeah. How do you, how are you getting used to being out of the corporate world and into?

Speaker 3: 29:04

your new business office in your it's. It is still just so weird. I I mean, I feel like that's the that's the best word that I can use to describe it I, this is, this is the thing that has kind of been rising to the top lately. I feel like I spent so many years thinking, okay, what do I have to do next? All right, okay, okay, what do I have to do now? But with this, not okay. What do I get to do next? But with this, okay. What do I have to do next? All right, okay, okay. What do I have to do now? But with this, not okay. What do I get to do next? But with this, okay, what now?

Speaker 3: 29:45

And I find myself, at least a couple times a day, starting to go that direction, like thinking you know, I'm doing this right now, but so what else is on my calendar that I have to do today? And then I realize everything that I have on my calendar and I do I mean I have, I block my days out. Um, I'm not sitting around eating bonbons and you know, sleep until 10 and whatever I, my day starts at 6 AM and I've time blocked and I'm, you know, this is my business now, but I I have this realization a couple of times a day that what I have to do next, I love doing it, and that's that's still sinking in. So it's just weird.

Speaker 2: 30:28

Yeah, I'll bet yeah, yeah, cause what you're doing now isn't a job. You know where you used to go to a job.

Speaker 3: 30:42

Yeah, yeah, but I've I've had to stop myself from I. You know I've had, as, as I run into people, I've stopped myself from saying I quit my job, I didn't, I didn't quit my. I quit one job, I quit one job. Yeah, I've had people say did you retire? Like no, I, I didn't retire. So it's just just getting used to so many things.

Speaker 2: 31:08

Um, yep, I'll bet.

Speaker 3: 31:12

Loving it, and I do have to make myself leave the house. Um, I went out to run an errand two days ago and I realized that I was starting my car for the first time in like four days.

Speaker 2: 31:27

Oh, yeah, you probably need to get out more than more than yeah, so our last episode, than more than so our last episode. Um, we talked about, you know, make how we're going to make new friends and make new connections. Mostly, have you gone to have coffee. No, you haven't done that yet. No, yeah, see, I think you need to plant, pick a day. Put that on your calendar for a special day, or more days, however many maybe.

Speaker 1: 31:56

I will do it.

Speaker 2: 31:57

Maybe I will tomorrow. There you go. Yeah, what days do you take all your packages to the post office? Monday morning, monday morning.

Speaker 1: 32:07

Yep.

Speaker 2: 32:09

Well, there you go, you're already out.

Speaker 3: 32:11

That was, that was when I went. That's when you started your car last yeah, and I know it's really cold here, okay, so, listeners, those of you who are in florida or, or texas, whatever, it's been sub-zero here yeah, it's been very cold, very cold.

Speaker 2: 32:33

It's supposed to warm up here the next couple of days. Are you going to get a little bit of a heat wave? Yeah, not heat, but warmer, yeah, warmer.

Speaker 3: 32:47

Yeah, but when you drive your car every day, it doesn't. In the cold weather, it doesn't really like it. So I notice that when I turn my car on and it's like not used to turning over. So, yeah, I need to get out.

Speaker 2: 33:10

There you go. That's your goal for the week.

Speaker 3: 33:13

Yeah it is.

Speaker 2: 33:17

I'll do it tomorrow, okay, well. Well, do you have a shot by chance? Oh, I don't have a shot today. No good, I have one. Okay, I downloaded an app called the mindscape. Oh, yeah, I know that app and I I did it because, you know, of course, I got influenced because that the you know ad or the whatever, for it was along the lines on you know, smart people do this, you know, stop scrolling all the time and get Mindscape so you can learn something right, and get Mindscape so you can learn something right, instead of just mindlessly scrolling through your reels or whatever. So, anyway, I've downloaded it. The gist of it, basically, is a short version of different books is what I'm gathering. So, like I, you know, it's like a synopsis of a book or a what do they call?

Speaker 1: 34:20

that you know short cliff notes of books, right.

Speaker 2: 34:24

So, like, the first one I read was about Gretchen Whitmer, the former governor of Michigan, and blah, blah, blah, and the one I read today was about Bitcoin. So it took me 15 minutes to read and it tells you how long it's going to take you 15 minutes to read about bitcoin, and I didn't really get the whole gist of it, but enough where I could logically talk to you about kind of about bitcoin. You know what I mean. So it's things like that you know better than you know, because when you like google something, you get a little thing and then you got to jump to something else and keep asking questions and even ai, I'm not sure um you know.

Speaker 2: 35:08

Yeah, I thought it was really interesting. So, anyway, that's my shot of the day.

Speaker 3: 35:13

Okay, is that a subscription? So it's a monthly subscription. It is, and I can't remember how much a month.

Speaker 2: 35:19

I think I paid for the year or something like that, I don't know or six months, but yeah, I thought of that as I started talking, but I don't know how much it costs. But there might be other things. You could find similar for free, I don't know.

Speaker 3: 35:37

I'm so glad that you mentioned that, because I've seen that pop up on my socials. I've been very curious about it, and it's kinds of things that you just take in, that, those real concise pieces of content that can can radically change conversations that you have with people. You don't have to be the expert on the entire topic.

Speaker 2: 35:59

Oh, I'm certainly not the expert on Bitcoin, but I could have a conversation, yeah, and I think I could even almost kind of. You know, one piece of it would be, you know, compared to say, Venmo you know what I mean. I mean how it actually works Very similar. You know which somebody's going to disagree. Oh my gosh, it's not anything like Venmo.

Speaker 2: 36:24

A little bit of it is. You know there's a lot of background that wouldn't be, but you know, I just thought it was interesting. Now I know you know the very abridged version of what bitcoin is. So there you go.

Speaker 3: 36:39

So does it have uh, you have to read it or will it talk to you like oh, will it do audio? That's a good question.

Speaker 2: 36:49

I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet. Like I said, I've watched, I've read too, okay, so I will. And neither time I was in a place where I could just let it go. I could get you know earbuds and do it, I suppose. But yeah, so far I haven't.

Speaker 1: 37:03

I haven't thought of that.
