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.

117: Elephants, experts, and executives

Why doesn't your company put the effort into things you KNOW would make a difference?


We feel our way through the murky waters of organisational priorities – from our own dance school advertising disasters to years of consulting war stories.


We talk through why even successful initiatives get shut down, how to influence up without planting flags, and what executives are really thinking when they say "not now."


  • Why the person who thinks they can "see the whole elephant" is the most wrong of all (the trap that keeps smart people stumbling around in the dark)
  • The hidden costs that aren't money ... and why they're quietly stifling your brilliant ideas
  • The counterintuitive secret behind being more influential
  • How Facebook begged us to double our ad budget – and we walked away
  • The "hygiene factor" false belief that's a career killer (spoiler: your value isn't measured the same way as web hosting, unless you're a web host)
  • What executives and cranky toddlers have in common ... plus the simple (but not easy) move that actually works on both
  • How to validate someone's perspective without the performative nonsense everyone can smell a mile away
  • Why brilliant experimentation programs get brutally killed off (it's not because they don't work)


"The only person who's definitely wrong is the person who thinks they can step back and get a holistic view of the elephant."
