Episode-85; Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Video Version About the Podcast The conversation took off like the flyover of the Thunderbirds at Super Bowl LIV, bouncing between the thrilling game's overtime drama and what got into Kelce's shorts; ending with Mule and JP diving into the excitement of the game and pondering how the new rules could shake things up. The conversation quickly turned to the theme of the gath
Episode-84; Predictions, Take-2
Video Version About the Podcast Welp, to start-off the year, JP pulled a major boner. We got together for this session on January 8th and it was a pretty good session; that is, until JP realized he forgot to hit the "record" button at the end of the session when he went to turn the recording off… DOH! So, you will understand the much deserved razzing at the beginning of th

Episode-82; Oktoberfest
Video Version About the Podcast So welcome back to The Outliers Inn! In spite of the incredible odds that recent history has demonstrated, Mule finally gets the timing right and is able to join as the co-host. It's just as well, because Don, "The Beer Man" is MIA for today's episode. Mule starts by sharing the reports of automobile break-ins throughout California are rea
Episode-81; What I did on my summer vacation
Video Version About the Podcast So welcome back to The Outliers Inn! As is getting to be habit, our co-host Mule has somehow managed to weasel his way out of working his shift with some lame excuse about a traffic jam around Washington DC. How a person can live so long there and not expect traffic; well, perhaps we pick that up another time. It is a good thing that my irre
Episode-80; (Re)Setting Attitudes, The Peter Principle, Golf, and more.
Video Version About the Podcast Another episode of The Outliers Inn with "The Beer Man" joining JP and Mule as co-co-host. Maybe he will become a regular co-co-host (he's already an irregular regular guest here at The Outliers Inn. After a brief acknowledgement that the Super Bowl was pretty entertaining, but nobody we know really cared who won, we get into more interes
Episode-79; Travel, Robots, Focus, and ChatGPT
Video Version https://vimeo.com/795988927 About the Podcast What's better than two hosts? Why, three, of course! Mule said he couldn't make it, so JP drafted Don (who is an irregular regular and has stepped-in to the role of co-host in the past). But, wouldn't you know it, Mule was able to join. So, we have a three-way! The podcast starts as it normally does, with JP talk
Episode-78; Holi-DAZE
Video Version https://vimeo.com/theoutliersinn/holi-daze About the Podcast This episode of The Outliers Inn finds the hosts, JP and Mule, a bit dazed and confused from the very start; as in, who's going to start?! holi-daze JP starts by sharing that the year went by in a flash because of engagements and travel and this has left him a bit Holi-DAZED coming into the end of the y
Episode-77; Thanksgiving
Video Version https://vimeo.com/771047950 About the Podcast In this episode, JP is thankful to have a regular guest at The Outliers Inn, Don "Beer Man" Burshnick, able to step up and be the co-host on zero notice because Mule has forgotten (yet again) to be in a state of readiness to fulfill his hostly duties.

Episode-75; Coincidences
Video Version https://vimeo.com/748326212 About the Podcast Mule kicks of the conversation at The Outliers Inn with the season wrap of robots season. Kids being kids, they start off wearing their "Sunday best" and end-up dragging the duds through the grass playing frisbee after the official goings-on are done. JP laments about how packed the flights are. But that there is an upsi
Episode-74; Travel Tips and Tricks
Video Version https://vimeo.com/737895244 About the Podcast Welcome to another episode of "The Outliers Inn". Today's theme is travel tips and tricks.

Episode-73; Making Mistakes
Video Version https://vimeo.com/737108958 About the Podcast Welcome to another episode of "The Outliers Inn". Today's theme is making mistakes. It starts right off with Mule asking JP whether he made any mistakes lately. And JP shares that he just filed his taxes, and perhaps he made a mistake, only time (and the IRS) will tell. And JP follows this up claiming; "He though
Episode-72; Time Wasters
Video Version https://vimeo.com/702398732 About the Podcast What do you do when the co-host forgets to come to the session? Well, at The Outliers Inn, you just roll with it. Indeed, "Mule" didn't show up so I called upon one of our regulars, Don "The Beer Man" Burshnick to stand in without notice. Thankfully, Don's a good sport and accepted; provided he gets 50% of the reve
Episode 71; Ardanans and Troglytes
Video Version https://vimeo.com/687434120 About the Podcast The business response to COVID has seen that many employees are able to work (and manage) from the comforts of their home (or wherever) while those whose physical presence is required have no such option.

Video Version https://vimeo.com/672105600 About the Podcast It's another "Open Mic Night" at The Outliers Inn and JP and Mule are happy to welcome our guest and have a casual chat with whatever might be on their minds (and ours).

Episode-69; Goals!
Video Version https://vimeo.com/662907369 About the Podcast In this episode, JP, Mule, and Guests talk about their goals for 2022… But first, there has to be a little more venting of the spleen by JP as he shares the absurdity that is the theater of COVID response by his experience at the Frankfurt Christmas Market (which was at full strength this year). You have to understan
Episode-68; 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate!
Video Version https://vimeo.com/655831185 About the Podcast JP and Mule talk about appreciation and how important it is to show people they are appreciated. Better yet, tell them using the word appreciate. It's much more impactful than saying "thank you". Who do you appreciate? Do they know? Maybe it's a good idea to tell them; let them know. JP, Mule, and guests then spend s
Episode-67; Supply Chain Woes
Video Version https://vimeo.com/645728789 About the Podcast In this episode of The Outliers Inn, Mule, JP, and guests discuss reported challenges and disruptions in Supply Chains and Logistics. After all, we have seen it in all the media; ships parked for as far as the eye can see off or Los Angeles (and to a lesser extent, Newark), trains that are 25 miles long heading into Chicag
Episode-66; Getting punched in the mouth
Video Version https://vimeo.com/586186646 About the Podcast JP and Mule have had a lot of things go not according to plan; especially over the past couple of years. And we suspect that many of our listeners have had similar experiences. As Mike Tyson famously said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." So we are going to hang our hats on this quote and let it
Episode-65; Wacky Projects
Video Version https://vimeo.com/572715914 About the podcast In this special episode of The Outliers Inn, JP and Mule welcome back one of the founding fathers (or is it non-birthing units); Antlerboy, who graces us with his presence after taking a bit of a dream walk (without the peyote buttons). Indeed, the Inn has not been the same without him - its certainly been better, bu
Episode-64; Planning in a VUCA World
Video Version https://vimeo.com/559618985 About the podcast Living in a VUCA world. Mule and JP start the show with a topic that morphs as rapidly as a cicada's wings and which is about as irritating; the COVID rules and regulations du jour. JP shares his latest experience with traveling between Germany and the States. Whereas arriving to the States is a matter of having a
Episode-63; The Importance of Mentorship
Video Version https://vimeo.com/553760709 About the podcast In this episode, in addition to the (ab)normal hosts JP and Mule, Don "the beer man" Burshnick is able to join in real life. JP starts with a lamentation from having to be on a project earlier than he is used to and shares some words of wisdom; folks shouldn't need to wake-up early except for huntin' and fishin'. But s
Episode-62; Getting the jab, optical rip-offs, mentoring, and getting back to nature
Video Version https://vimeo.com/539686974 About the podcast In this episode, JP starts by sharing his lack of "readiness" for his latest trip to the States when he was called to a project in Florida. You see, he had packed for February and March in Upstate New York (where winter attire is the call of the day) and not Florida (where its darn hot in comparison); forcing him to
Episode-61; More COVID nonsense, computer hygiene, and more beer
Video Version https://vimeo.com/520737822 About the podcast In this episode, JP shares his experience with the "mandated" COVID test to come back to the States from Germany; apparently, it is on the "honor system" because nobody actually wanted to see the results. It seems that almost all of these "mandates" are fictitious. Supposedly, quarantines are mandatory (same with negativ
Episode-60; On two masks, the Superbowl, telemetry, and wool
Video Version About the podcast JP and Mule are happy to welcome our guests to the new format at The Outliers Inn. Of course, we will always have an audio-only track of the podcast, but this is the first full video podcast at The Outliers Inn complete with guests. The video version will only show the hosts, JP and Mule, on camera with the guests being voice only; and
Episode-59; Introducing "Mule"
Video Version About the podcast Although The Outliers Inn is sad to see the departure of Antlerboy as co-host, as they say; "the show must go on." So in this special episode of The Outliers Inn, we introduce David "Mule" Schneider who will join JP as the new co-host. We talk about how we met over LinkedIn and got to know one another some decade-plus ago over a bourbon
Episode-58; Changing of the Guard
Recorded: December 20, 2020 About the podcast This will be a bitter-sweet episode at The Outliers Inn. It's the episode where Antlerboy (aka Benjamin Taylor) announces his retirement from pouring drinks and serving slop as co-host at the Inn. Between his part-time gig at the Inn and his other interests and pursuits (including running his companies, other podcasts that he produces,
Episode-57; New Ventures and Longest Nights
Recorded: November 24, 2020 About the podcast Antlerboy starts off the show with a confession; that he has been seeing other people – in fact quite a selection of other people. Behind JP's back but in broad daylight, he has been recording two other podcasts; "Joy and Work" for leading (public) service transformation, and "Transduction" for the systems, complexity, and cybernetics.
Episode-56; Travel Adventures During COVID
Recorded: October 26, 2020 About the podcast Welcome to another "open mic" edition at The Outliers Inn with JP and stand-in co-host Don Burshnick who has co-hosted enough episodes that he can be considered the co-co-host. JP and Don start-off the conversation by sharing how refreshing it is to get back out in the field and doing some face-to-face work after being largely confined
Episode-55; And Now For Something Completely Different
Recorded: September 21, 2020 About the podcast And Now For Something Completely Different! It's another "Open Mic" night at The Outliers Inn. And in this episode, Benjamin and JP discover there might be a couple of interpretations of that open invitation. It would appear that, in addition to our regular followers and people who might see our invitations as shared in our normal
Episode – 54; A Varied but Interconnected Conversation
Recorded: August 3, 2020 About the podcast Topic: One of our regular guests, Don Burshnick, stands-in for Antlerboy and takes his place behind the bar - somewhere at which he is all too familiar and steps right into the roll. We start the evening off with a discussion about SpaceX and the successful completion of their manned mission to the International Space Station marked by th
Episode – 53; Lady's Night
Recorded: July 14, 2020 About the podcast Topic: Okay, the notion was noble, but the presentation might have been better. If this was an episode of Master Chef with Antlerboy and JP being the wanna-be cooks, we would certainly have presented a repulsive-looking dish, but it tasted darn good. So here's the story; Antlerboy and JP had noticed that all of the guests at The Outliers
Episode – 52; Navigating Beyond...
Recorded: June 3, 2020 About the podcast Topic: We find Antlerboy in much better spirits and more positive. He has been a bit beat down due to being locked-down. But is finding working in his London garden - replete with a cherry tree, recently Amazon-delivered pond weed, potatoes and onions - is very therapeutic. JP is happy for Antlerboy, but wonders; just how big is this garden in Lon
Episode 51 - Bangers and Mash
Recorded: June 3, 2020 About the podcast Topic: Antlerboy and JP welcome the first-ever, all male and exclusively British guest roster. It's a veritible sausage fest, except its more like Bangers. Come give a listen as we mash it up (see what I did there?). The episode starts with Antlerboy not being his usual joyful self, some would say "hacked-off", "fed up", or just "down in the dumps
Episode 50 - Coming Out Of COVID-19 - Gold Anniversary Episode
Topic: Antlerboy and JP celebrate the 50th episode of The Outliers Inn. The theme of today's show is "coming out of COVID-19" and we will be talking about our plans for re-entering society after government-imposed lockdowns. JP, being blessed with abundant hair even with his years, shares that his first thing will be to get a haircut and to resupply on cigars which he has been without for some
Episode 49 – How I spent my COVID-19 Vacation
Topic: With everyone in the world being locked-down, bored rigid with nothing much better to do and in desperate need of speaking with someone other than their significant other or dog, it's a full-house at The Outliers Inn with guests who hail from the States, the UK, Germany, and Iceland being represented. The episode is long, but the conversation is fun and lively. Standing in for co-host
Episode 48 – Robots, Beer, Cash for Consultants, and Team Effectiveness.
Recorded: March 3, 2020 About the Podcast Topic: The episode starts off rather professional (read dry) with Antlerboy sharing some rather serious endeavors he is launching. He introduces two new podcasts; "Joy in Work; The public service transformation" and "Transduction; the systems complexity and cybernetics" – neither of which pose any competition to The Outliers Inn (not even clos
Episode 47 - Falling Iguanas
Recorded: February 6, 2020 About the Podcast Topic: In this episode of The Outliers Inn, we talk about the risks involved in falling iguana's, long-flights and sore bums, speculating on government numbers, eating bats, and preparing for retirement (or semi-retirement). Antlerboy and JP start-off by sharing their experiences on recent travels with Antlerboy going to Southeast Asia a
Eposode-46; Resolutions for the New Year
Topic: We do another theme-based episode, this time on "New Year's Resolutions". It doesn't matter whether they are funny or serious ones, but it does matter that your word and resolve is so useless that you can't keep a promise to yourself. In that case, you might not even have any resolutions. But if you do, you will probably find that no one other than yourself will follow up on them. As t
Episode 45 - Reflections of the year
Topic: In this episode of The Outliers Inn, we try something new – having a "theme" for the show. As we approach the end of another year in time and space, we (ought to) become reflective of things said and done, failures and successes, fulfillments and hopes yet to fulfill themselves. Like the Irish man who thought about the evils of drinking in the New Year – then he gave up thinking. So we
Episode 44 - German Waste Disposal, Food Waste, Logistics
About the Podcast Topic: JP shares his challenges with a recent move of premises. Many of the frustrations involve the discarding of waste in Germany; the myriad of bins and methods of discarding and the confusions that go with their use is but one of the challenges. The biggest challenge, besides JP holding the opinion that his landlords were assholes and all that entails, was disca
EPISODE 43 - Artificial Intelligence
About the Podcast Topic: Antlerboy (aka Benjamin Taylor) continues to be plagued by substandard internet, although right in the middle of London and across the street to MI-6, yet can only get ADSL service to his office. How can that be in 2019? Broadcasting from home is not possible because Antlerboy is too "afraid" to tell his wife to be quiet as a mouse for an hour whilst we are re
EPISODE 42 - Hemp, Cannabis, Maintenance, OpEx, Chemistry and Beer
About the Podcast Topic: An eclectic bunch of visitors visited The Outliers Inn sharing a myriad of challenges. It was another successful Open Mic Night at The Outliers Inn.

We start with Antlerboy and JP talking about attending and participating
Episode 41 - Leftovers, Obvious Problems, and Frustrations.
Topic: Business Owners get the leftovers and – unrelated – how it sucks to get old and looking for a job. The issue has been settled. The Outliers Inn will no longer take reservations, but rely solely on walk-ins. From this day forth, we will rely on the eccentricity of our audience and their eclectic interests, ideas, and opinions. Antlerboy and RedQuadrant reached a milestone – 10yrs in busine
Episode 40 - Another "Open Mic Night"
Topic: Another "Open Mic Night" at The Outliers Inn. Listen in on Antlerboy and JP as they discuss the Women's World Cup; Renowned Transdisciplinary Behavioural Strategist, Organisational Misbehaviourist, and Ironist, Richard Claydon; and data privacy in the context of cyber security. We start with the discussion of soccer and the recent win of the Women's World Cup by the American team. We pond
Episode 39 - The Man Behind the Curtain
Topic: This episode finds us short of guests, but the show must go on.! So, in an act of desperation and in search of fresh meat, we look inward and bring Chas – our podcast technician extraordinaire – from behind the curtain and into the spotlight. Little did we know we were going to enter "Dr Whoopee's Wayback Machine" and go back in time to discuss the earliest in personal computer technology
Join Antlerboy and JP in their first three-way.
Topic: Although fraught with great peril, our intrepid hosts open-up the podcast to call-ins. What can go wrong? Well, everything can go wrong. But in spite of the incredible odds, our first call-in episode went rather well. So well, in fact, that the call-in format will be our new standard format for the show. In this first call-in episode, we will discuss the challenges faced when authority
Episode 37 - Paul Connelly - All the world's a stage
Topic: It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to hoover it. What can improv and performing comedy tell us about learning and collaboration?

Episode 35 - Don Burshnick - Don-kwondo
Topic: We welcome Don Burshnick, President of Alpha-1 Technologies LLC to "The Outliers Inn", where we will learn of the importance of preventative maintenance and the conflict that exists between maintaining equipment so that it runs in an optimal state and a company's reluctance to invest in the proper maintenance of their equipment and being satisfied with keeping their machines running, even i
Episode 34 - Andy Dobson
About the Podcast Topic: In this episode, your hosts, AntlerBoy an JP, start by lamenting the software industry and their almost arrogant – sometimes not almost arrogant – disregard for the customer and the user experience. Not that software companies will ever change, but rather a resignation that we have to endure. But the episode gets productive, or rather reproductive, with the int
Episode 33 - Six-Pack Abs
Topic: Most companies strive to be high-performing organizations – the equivalent of having "six-pack abs". But getting fit takes a lot of dedication and hard work – and unfortunately, most companies just have "ab". In this episode of The Outliers Inn, Jim will share with us his experiences in trying to help companies become leaner and meaner; the challenges companies face, the challenges he has
Episode 32 - Social Media
About the Podcast Topic: Join us today with our favorite bespeckled guest, Phil "Just like it Sounds" Gerbyshak – and the first return guest to our show.

Hosts: Josep
Episode 29 - Malcolm Cawood - Kybernetica
Topic: A Capitalist, a Socialist, and a Communist walk into a podcast. No, it's not the start of a bad joke, just a bad podcast. Malcolm Cawood, owner of Kyberntica, joins Antlerboy and JP to discuss his ideas behind "systems thinking". He certainly will share his fairly well developed sense of his own self-importance. But, as an ultra-sceptic influenced both by scientific tradition, Greek st

Episode 27 - Being an outsider with an eye for variation!
About the Podcast Topic: Luca Willington has been in a position where she had to take a different perspective many times - as one of the first yogis in post-communist Romania, as an entrepreneur successfully breaking into the multi-billion international skin-care industry with natural, un-emulsified products, and also as a new arrival in Britain back in 1999. Perhaps it's unsurprising,

About the Podcast Topic: The guest for this episode is Russell Gundry, who tries to argue with Antlerboy and JP that Operational Excellence is all wrong. The trouble is they end up agreeing, mostly.

Episode 3 - The Outliers Inn - Financial Services Across the Spectrum
About the Podcast Topic: Every day we read about finance and doing mega-deals, but what about finance for the average business owner?
