Tentacles - the podcast from Crown & Reach
Tom Kerwin
22 episodes

Hi, we’re Tom and Corissa from Crown & Reach, and this is Tentacles.


With over 100 episodes behind us, this might just be the best bad podcast out there. Unfiltered, unedited, and deeply curious.


We talk strategy, sense-making, and the blurry edges between work and the rest of life — because sometimes, the only way through the fog is to feel your way forward, limbs outstretched.


While we're migrating podcasts across, you can find all the goodness from our first 100 or so episodes here: https://shows.acast.com/triggerstrategy


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

109: How do you spot a stupid idea?

What counts as a “stupid idea”? The "out there" one that makes everyone look at you funny, or the safe, respectable one that slowly kills your business?


We took a break from rebrand logistics and wandered up and down the road talking about how people and teams judge ideas.


Teams often close the filter way too tightly for fear of having no filter at all. We talk about the hidden risks of focus and brainstorms, why coherence matters more than consensus, and how our Pitch Provocations method helps teams safely test the uncomfortable stuff.


You can now reach us at tentacles@crownandreach.com. Thanks for walking with us x


In this episode:


  • Why “there are no bad ideas!” is a well-meaning lie, and what to do instead
  • The coherence trick, and using it to find your boundaries
  • How to spot hidden stupidity in apparently safe ideas
  • What most orgs get wrong about experimentation
  • A practical method for killing pet ideas without hurting feelings
