Escher’s Lazy River w/Chris Haas
P3 Adaptive’s very own Chris Haas relays not only his Data origin story but also shares with us how he came to join the P3 team. In his role as ad hoc data therapist, Chris has the unique opportunity to see our clients grow and learn to ask the right questions. His insight: The journey of discovery along the way transforms both the business and the user as they learn that true value may not necessarily be found by having a single answer. Also in this episode, Rob and Chris redefine the phrase “fast fail” transforming it into rapid discovery and development. Chris explains that clients should never be afraid of rapid-fire development as speed is more important in open development to learn what works, is relevant, and should be explored further.

The Life of a WW2 Navy Pilot Cadet (Bonus), w/ Bob Pop Collie
For our 50th episode a few weeks ago, we shared an episode that Rob recorded with his grandfather, Bob “Pop” Collie. We had some content that didn’t quite fit the vibe of the episode, and we just didn’t feel right about keeping this amazing stuff to ourselves! It’s a lot of Pop Collie’s Navy stories of him being goofy, how he played football for a legendary college coach, and how a series of strange events led to him meeting his wife!
