090 – Strive for Mediocrity (with Matt Abrahams)
“Strive for mediocrity”… is not the advice you’d expect from a Stanford professor, but it’s great advice.

Turns out, if you strive for mediocrity, you can achieve greatness. Listen up to learn more!

Love the honesty!
Alexa and Tyson are beautifully honest with their opinions and it is so refreshing (it also helps that they are genuinely good people). I’ve always had an interest in HR and I love getting the inside look at what HR departments deal with.

Practical with a side of sass
I work in benefits and People operations and it is so refreshing to listen to a podcast that talks about people and business in a real, unfiltered way.

For the Toby Flendersons
I die at all their memes, polls, and their podcast episodes because they are SO relatable. (...), it feels so refreshing to hear shared experiences, frustrations, and annoyances from people that really know what actually goes into this profession!
