Getting Things Going

Interview

2023.08.24

In this episode your nice hosts welcome Rick Stemm of PikPok to the clubhouse to talk about what happens after a game gets greenlit.

Turns out the answer involves building your team and trust.
Rick touts the idea of a sh*tty first draft - faster and worse. Coaching feedback givers for what you are looking for, and the importance of building a trust in a team. Rick spouts useful idioms and your host claim points for each time Rick says ‘cohesive’ or ‘holistic.’

Who scored the most points? Turns out Stephen declared that the points don’t matter, good thing I never bothered tabulating them.
