Ep. 47 - Doing Research vs. Building a Research Practice

The difference between doing research and building a research practice is the difference between going to the gym once every few months and actually getting fit. One-off studies won't create lasting impact. A practice is an intentional, continuous investment — a system that captures, connects, and applies knowledge to drive better decisions. I cover the three pillars (culture, infrastructure, communications), and the signs that tell you it's time to build the thing properly.(00:11) Research vs Practice(00:44) Sporadic Research Pitfalls(01:55) Gym Analogy Momentum(03:02) What a Practice Looks Like(03:54) Three Pillars Framework(05:39) Signs You Need Practice(07:59) Buy In and Scaling(09:21) Connective Tissue Vision(10:03) Wrap Up and Where to Follow

Ep. 46 - On Decisions and Stakeholders

Researchers often over-index on rational arguments, assuming clear findings will drive action. But decisions are also shaped by emotions and organizational dynamics — political, personal, and power pressures that influence how stakeholders respond. Instead of blaming stakeholders for "not getting it," we should research and empathize with them the way we do with users, and frame recommendations within their context. When stakeholders feel understood, trust builds and decisions become easier.(00:11) Decisions Drive Research(00:43) Myth of Pure Rationality(01:54) Why Stakeholders Push Back(02:24) Research Your Stakeholders(03:41) Politics and Pressure Factors(04:33) Frame Recommendations for Context(05:55) Communication Builds Trust(06:32) Facts Plus Emotions(08:02) Recap and Next Steps(09:14) Outro and Reach Out
