Episode 21 - Launching Teamangle: A decade of lessons, now a platform for thriving teams

In this episode, we reflect on how the end of Happy Cog Austin eventually led to the creation of Same Team Partners and the launch of Teamangle. We each share our perspective on the emotional journey that began with the closure of the Austin office, eventually sparking a new chapter of helping teams thrive.

Brett dives into his keynote at the 12th annual Digital PM Summit, where he introduced Teamangle—a framework built on communication, collaboration, and culture. Tune in to hear how the lessons from those early days shaped Teamangle and why the PM community resonated with tools like the Teamangle Conversation Cards.

The Ask

Remember the Fyre Festival? It was supposed to be a luxury event, but it became a viral disaster due to a complete breakdown in communication and planning. Teams didn’t talk to each other, promises weren’t realistic, and the whole thing collapsed. The lesson? If your team’s communication, collaboration, and culture are off, it can all fall apart. That’s why there’s Teamangle—the tool to help spot and fix those cracks before it’s too late.

Teamangle gives you a clear view of how your team functions, using data and insights to uncover problems in communication, collaboration, and culture before they become significant issues. With easy-to-use conversation tools and workshops, Teamangle helps teams work better together and ensures you don’t end up with your own disaster.
