In this 'pivoting' episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick channel their inner 'Ghost Writer' and do some serious audibles when it comes to the topic this week. Rest assured! This episode is 100% authentically Uggo-powered as the boys discuss ChatGPT and things you should or should not do with it. Also, Patrick talks about his modeling debut while Steve is reminded of the mnemonic device he used to spell Patrick's name 20+ years ago.

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick beg people to stop trying to steal their stuff, man! On the way there, they talk about FOGO, DBTG, and any other acronym we can shake a Walkman at. It's an all-nonsense episode set to deliver more laughs than a burglar looking through Patrick's musical collection.

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve Counsell and Patrick Aleshire use their smoothest broadcaster voices while discussing the topic of Imposter Syndrome. Through personal stories and recollections of dreams that make us believe we didn't actually graduate (and are naked for some reason), come with us to explore the ways Imposter Syndrome can rear it's ugly head and ways to combat the beast.

We also talk about a bunch of other stuff, Steve cries laughing, and apologize to Patrick's parents for him raiding the fridge and cleaning his plate at every opportunity possible in the past.

In this episode of Grossly Competent, hosts Steve and Patrick jump into their yoga pants, grab some pumpkin spice, and chat about the finer things of the Autumnal season (while pandering for sponsorships, of course) in advance of a no-holds barred discussion on the incredibly controversial topic of Public Speaking Icebreakers.

Are they beneficial? Do they suck? How much does a polar bear weigh!?

Tune in for all the super scientific data and research that Steve makes up and witness Patrick trying to be something everyone yearns for at least once in their life: being right.

THERE WAS ROOM ON THE DOOR, ROSE! JUST MOVE OVER A SMIDGE!

*Apparently my laptop chose the internal mic rather than my external one. Sorry about that folks, the audio will be much more crisp and beautiful (unlike me) for the next session. Cheers! - Steve*

Anyway, in this episode, hosts Steve Counsell and Patrick Aleshire talk about the importance of authenticity and the balancing act that trust-building can have in learning and development. Of course, in true fashion, Steve and Patrick lose the script and discuss why reading signs is an important life skill and how Steve's pride was dismantled by an Enrique Iglesias groupie.
