Show Notes
In today’s Whip-’Em-Out Wednesday (October 15, 2025), Jay digs into a messy truth most orgs won’t touch: how nepotism quietly erodes trust, silences reporting, and puts real people at risk. We unpack the difference between “family-owned” and “family-controlled,” why accountability must apply to everyone (especially the owner’s kids), and how to rebuild credibility with transparency and consistent standards.
Plus: what was trending overnight, FSN world headlines, Neuralink’s bigger-than-human vision, “superwood” hitting the market, celebrity & sports notes (Alec Baldwin, Tiger Woods), chart records from Taylor Swift, and a quick detour to the Elbo Room livestream lore.
Segments:
- Trends & headlines you actually talk about at work
- Main Story: Nepotism vs. Safety—rules, credibility, and culture
- Tech & biz: Neuralink bandwidth, “superwood” that might change builds
- Pop & sports: Baldwin’s fender-tree, Tiger’s back, Swift’s first-week domination
- Community note: resources for help and how to reach the show
