"Crisis Engineering" feat. Layer Aleph | Does A Frog Have Scorpion Nature?

Episode 11 - "Crisis Engineering" feat. Layer Aleph (2026/07/16) Someone recently put me onto the book Crisis Engineering by Marina Nitze, Matthew Weaver, and Mikey Dickerson. It is unfortunately not about how to engineer a crisis, which would be very fun, but about how to leverage a crisis as one of the rare moments where a company is actually open to change. It is one of the rare contemporary books that is ostensibly about "business" that is going to last for longer than two weeks and probably become compulsory reading for operators everywhere. You can read more about Layer Aleph at the link below. Call them in an emergency! Read their book and print out copies of their faces to wear during a crisis! These are all reasonable courses of action. https://layeraleph.com/ This podcast is still not monetized and I didn't get paid or whatever, I just like their book. 'Does A Frog Have Scorpion Nature' is a podcast where Nikhil Suresh interviews interesting people that work in the technology space, who have managed to retain their sense of humor, don't take themselves too seriously, and aren't on book tours or selling cryptocurrency. More of Nik's work can be found at his blog. https://ludic.mataroa.blog/ Edited by Sarah-Jane Katanning, art by Marlis Heimbuch.
