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

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.
