Episode notes

Wali: I think the mental load is something that's often discussed in a family context with, like, two parents or a partnership. For example, you having to write the grocery shop list and decide what all the meals are going to be, and then your partner going to the store and pick up the groceries? Is not them owning it. That is them helping you. And i would say that there are people in my team that definitely own stuff, and there are some that i still have to carry that mental load. It feels like it fails if you're like, that person's not taking ownership or showing ownership as a leader.

Here at the Analytics Power Hour, we have a very clear delineation of who owns what when it comes to the show production. And ownership is the topic of this episode. It's possible that the owner of the episode description feels like this is an awfully touchy-feely topic, but said owner also knows that teamwork means going along with the majority when it comes to show topics. I guess that's joint ownership? Can that work? Sadly, that, specifically, was not discussed, but the show definitely earned its explicit rating with this episode!
