ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Slackers is a podcast for leaders, builders, and creators who want to make work better—more productive, more human, and a lot less frustrating.
Hosted by longtime media and technology insiders Jonathan Sasse and Jaime Solis, the show blends candid stories, sharp insights, and practical lessons from decades spent navigating corporate life and creative industries.
This isn’t a rant about what’s broken or a step-by-step playbook. It’s a conversation about what actually works; the small wins, the hard lessons, and the patterns that make better teams, better ideas, and better outcomes possible.
Each episode connects dots across leadership, strategy, creativity, and culture, helping you think more clearly about how work gets done, and how to do it better.
We call it “Slackers” because the heavy lifting happens outside the show. So think of us as a weekly companion on your path to better work and a better way of working.

We wrapped 20 episodes. And the feedback that kept coming back wasn’t “give us more frameworks.”It was: “What does this actually look like when I’m sitting at my desk, trying to figure out what to do next?”That question is what Season 2 is all about. Consider this bonus episode a preview: …
Everyone has dabbled. But what does it actually look like when someone who builds things for a living sits down with AI tools every day and puts them to real work? Not the worldview conversation. Not the hype. The actual workflow. The shortcuts. The moment you go, "Oh my god. That completely chang…
Most companies define competition incorrectly.
They build spreadsheets comparing themselves to the businesses in their category. Same product. Same industry. Same lane.

They compare every experience they have across their entire life.

Most teams think “brand” means design.
