Less than lethal weapons are being touted as more sensible and humane tools for law enforcement to deal with disturbances and subdue individuals. However, do not be fooled by the name; these weapons, which include: rubber bullets, tear gas, Tasers, and stun grenades can cause serious damage.

More than 3,600 companies have filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2020 and this number will most certainly increase. While bankruptcy is not a death sentence for a company, it is not a good sign.

366. New Rules for Working Jul 29, 2020

In the 17th century people would regularly work more than 40 hours a week; at one point it was upwards of 60. But that doesn't mean we need to keep plodding ahead with the old 9 to 5 routine. Many of us are still making the adjustment to working from home and some people report actually working more. However, it might be time for a change. Perhaps the focus should be on productivity rather than time. If you can get your job done in 4 hours, why be on the clock for for 8? If we cut down on the BS we actually get something done!

Scientists are racing to develop a vaccine to combat the Coronavirus so we can all get back to some semblance of normal. But that takes time.

We are probably not going back to business as usual; more and more people are going to work from home and many companies are embracing the idea. Why pay all that rent for an office you don't need?

349. Automation in New Reality of Covid-19 May 20, 2020

It seems as though, in addition to changing the idea of the office, the Coronavirus will accelerate the trend towards automation.

What will happen to gig workers and small businesses? Seems like a lot of promises have been made about bailouts and other help from the government but how does that help an Uber driver or Airbnb host? What about six months or a year from now? It won't look the same, that's for sure.

343. The Future of the Work Space Apr 29, 2020

How many jobs really require people to be in one space for 8 to 10 hours a day? How many companies want to pay all that overhead for an office that really isn't necessary?

Non-places: airports, hotels, fast food restaurants, malls. We pay little attention to these places because they are not destinations; our time there is temporary.

286. Working Less and Being Productive...Wait, What!?! Jan 10, 2020

Matty K and John are in favor of the 1 hour workweek. You read that correctly, 1 hour a week! We discuss why working more hours does not mean you are getting more done. Companies and governments are finding that a six hour workday makes for healthier and more productive employees. Cutting out pointless meetings and allowing people to focus on their tasks is better for everyone. So forget the ping pong tables and let people do their jobs.

285. Work Smart, Not Hard Jan 09, 2020

Matty K and John go Hard, instead of Smart on the holy grail of Productivity! Working endless hours is not productive but with people always feeling as though they can get a hold of us it can be hard to turn off. We need our own time to recharge and stay focused. In 2020, don't be afraid to be unavailable!

271. Taxes and Politics Dec 13, 2019

The federal government collected $3.3 TRILLION in tax revenue last year. Where did it all go? That is probably the most frustrating question for the citizens of this great country. Pork barrel projects, scams and good old fashioned waste. Let's hope some of it gets to the people who need it.

269. The Pursuit of Happiness Dec 11, 2019

You can't be happy all the time. You would make yourself miserable. Embrace the bad times, the sadness, the anxiety, the pain. They make the happiness so much more rewarding. And at work, happiness is frowned upon - better to start the day as a grumpy sack.

260. Amit Kapoor and the Ease of Living Index Nov 27, 2019

What happens if alcohol was off-limits? Matty J and John jump into a thought experient and they both get lost in the weeds...Would people still attend professional sports events if no alcohol was available? Would people go to parties where no booze was served? What would they talk about? Would it be awkward and painfully boring? Or would people discover a new and rewarding way of living?

257. Tom O'Neill | Author of 'Chaos' Nov 20, 2019

254. Does GDP translate into quality of life? Nov 13, 2019

The GDP is often used to measure the well-being of a nation. However, it only measures the "gross", not the "net". Such costs as the impact of the manufacturing of cars on the environment and the costs of income inequality are not factored into the equation. There is more to people's well-being than producing goods.

He has been described as erratic, impulsive and incompetent by his own generals. Yet, despite the myriad failed businesses (Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University etc) the myth of the genius deal-maker still persists. People believe what they want to believe. And will Donny dodge yet another bullet with the impeachment process!

251. What's Your Wealth Number? Nov 06, 2019

According to Bloomberg, everyone has a "Wealth Number". Unsurprisingly, there are a lot more people with a low wealth number (-2 to 2: subsistence farmer) than a high wealth number (11: Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates). The rest of us fit somewhere in between. And it's comforting to know that the human soul can be represented by a number.

248. The Future of AI Oct 29, 2019

Will they become angry at us? Matty K and John muster as much intelligence as possible to discuss this big issue

247. A 4K Meditation Booth to Improve Worker Productivity Oct 25, 2019

246. Hate Your Job? Just Think Positive Oct 23, 2019

241. The Oracle of Los Angeles Oct 08, 2019

238. Food on Demand Oct 01, 2019

Food Delivery Apps...GrubHub, DoorDash...Food delivered on-demand! Technology, the gig economy meets convenience...and a growing waistline! Who wants to eat at a fancy restaurant when you can just eat in your own living room in front of the TV? Well, servers and chefs would like to have you there.

There is a school of thought that advocates making decisions while at one's "peak". You are supposed to pump your fists, spin in circles and jump on a trampoline to get to your peak.
