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

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.

111: Borage Porridge

What do lumpy compost, underwhelming basil, and internal influence have in common?


Tom's Pip Decks deck, Innovation Tactics, contains a popular card called Seeds vs Soil. At time of writing, the concepts of gardening were purely theoretical to him. But now we've dipped our toes into the complex world of home horticulture, we thought we'd revisit the tactic, and share some stories of failure, "fine" soil and fennel.


This became a springboard for a dive into how people—especially those without positional power—can get unstuck and make progress inside complex, boggy organisations. A riff on experimentation, disappointment, and the quiet joy when a seedling pokes its little green head up.


Hear us wrestle with:


  • When to invest in soil prep—and when to just throw seeds down and see what grows
  • Why half-baked experiments are a good way to tune your appetite for risk
  • The three routes to career progress: power, influence, and acceptance
  • How to gently test ideas at work without stepping on toes (too hard)
  • Tromboncino squash, borage porridge, and general botanical misadventures
