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 negative COVID tests when flying into the States). But if they are not enforced, or even check, they are really voluntary.

From there, we discuss the need for good “computer hygiene” after one of JP’s clients caught a “ransomware virus” – this was really no bueno. To compound the challenge, the last valid backup the client had was from 15 months prior. It is a shit sandwich and he had to take a giganourmous bite out of it.

From there, the conversations drifts to a favorite topic at The Outliers Inn, that being beer. And we are graced with a visitor from Sweden who brings a much-needed, and particularly positive, energy with her.

Hosts:Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies

    About the Podcast 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…

  • 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…

  • Episode 21 – Operational Improvement, is it a waste of time?

    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. We discuss how operational excellence can be misguided to solving the wrong problems, and the importance of getting into the murk of considering problems in context. Our journey ranges from impassioned debates…
