NEW EPISODE

Enron had “integrity” on the wall. FTX didn't bother. Both collapsed.
Jason Hughey on why organizational betrayal isn't random—it's designed in. The same signal suppression that starved Soviet grocery stores is happening in your company's Slack channels.

His fix: Principle Based Management. Hire for virtue over talent. Let decisions flow to people with local knowledge. Stop treating employees like resources.

S03E02: Companies Don't Keep Promises. People Do.

Out now for supporters, public tomorrow.

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”

― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

NEW ESSAY

“Support the show” is charity language. “Make me uncancellable” is a product.

That's what voluntary payment actually offers. Not mass adoption—fifty years of data killed that dream. An exit when Patreon bans you, PayPal freezes your account, or your bank decides your business doesn't align with their values.

The 5% who pay aren't your revenue. They're your lifeboat.

Adapted from S02E14: Why Ads Keep Winning.

What Happened:

Iran dropped 55 points between 2000 and 2007, with a small recovery since. Indonesia fell steadily from 52% to 5%. Iraq and Egypt declined through years of conflict. The data ends at 2018 for most—we don't know the current state.
