WorkLife with Adam Grant
06/01/22 • 27 min
When your podcast starts to get rolling, like really rolling, like Adam Grant rolling, how far do you venture from your core focus? People have tuned in for some time, the podcast has averaged over a million ears per episode and spent multiple weeks as the #1 show on the entire Apple Podcasts chart. Surely you can try a few different things. Change it up. Expand your audience perhaps? Then again, maybe not?
On WorkLife, host Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, best-selling author and Saul P. Steinberg Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, takes you inside the minds of some of the world’s most unusual professionals to explore the science of making work not suck. From learning how to love criticism to harnessing the power of frustration. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll never see your job the same way again.
While Mike and Eric might disagree on whether Adam tops Malcolm Gladwell for pure listening enjoyment, if there's one thing we do agree upon, it's that we wish we were as smart and successful as Adam Grant and hope that we come across as having as much fun doing what we do as Adam seems to be having.
In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review the May 4, 2022 show of WorkLife titled "Taken for Granted: Jon Batiste on the art of pushing your limits". We also review a few others that are more representative of Adam's usual format and style. It can be found here on Apple Podcasts:

Storytime with Seth Rogen
Many podcasters have decided that getting a guest to tell their best story is the ticket to a great show. Indeed, we're big fans of this kind of podcast format. How can it not be a winner every time? Well, you'd be surprised.
Welcome to Storytime with Seth Rogen, where every week Seth asks somebody, “Do you have a great story? And if you do, will you tell it on my podcast?” That’s it. That’s the concept.
Not a typical comedian-hosted chat show, each episode features a presentation unto itself, with supporting interviews and archival tape woven into each story with a rhythmic editing style. While not all the stories are knee-slap funny, it's worth a listen just for the editing effort where you can decide if it adds value to the story or distracts from it. Still, Seth is always engaged and reveals his curiosity about people and the world, and always ends up in an unexpected place.
In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review the November 24, 2021 “Storytime” episode "Gambas" where Joe Mande and his longtime girlfriend Kylie take a trip to Spain and an ill-fated day in Córdoba goes from bad to worse.

The Lucky Titan Podcast with Josh Tapp
After many years and many episodes under your belt, who is your audience? Who should you direct the next episode towards? Should it be the longtime listener that's been there since day one? Or should you hone in on the first-time listener? The one that might need their hand held a bit to really understand what's going to happen here?
Josh Tapp is a young, curious and driven young man out to make it on his own. His chosen medium, podcasting. Four years ago, fresh out of college in Idaho, and newly married, Josh decided to jump full-time into entrepreneurship without a parachute. Fast forward four years, and Josh has interviewed over 750 successful people, from professional athletes to billion-dollar business owners. Originally his objective was to ask them all one thing ... "if you had to start a new company from scratch, what type of business would you build and what is the exact framework you would use to build a thriving brand?" What's not to like about this guy?
In this episode of “No Harm In Asking” Mike and Eric review a number of Josh's recent episodes on marketing, sales and idea formation. How does Josh do grabbing that first-time listener? We also dive into some points about being careful not to over-prepare and come across as scripted.
