Slackers is a podcast for leaders, builders, and creators who want to make work better—more productive, more human, and a lot less frustrating. Hosted by longtime media and technology insiders Jonathan Sasse and Jaime Solis, the show blends candid stories, sharp insights, and practical lessons from decades spent navigating corporate life and creative industries. This isn’t a rant about what’s broken or a step-by-step playbook. It’s a conversation about what actually works; the small wins, the hard lessons, and the patterns that make better teams, better ideas, and better outcomes possible. Each episode connects dots across leadership, strategy, creativity, and culture, helping you think more clearly about how work gets done, and how to do it better. We call it “Slackers” because the heavy lifting happens outside the show. So think of us as a weekly companion on your path to better work and a better way of working.2025 Jaime Solis & Jonathan Sasse | All Rights Reserved.

  • Bright Star Leadership with Jim Cady

    Bright Star Leadership with Jim Cady
    Jan 13 2026

    Fresh off the reveal of his new company IM Media Labs at CES 2026, veteran executive Jim Cady joins Jonathan Sasse and Jaime Solis for a wide ranging conversation about leadership, mentorship, and the moments that quietly shape careers. Jim brings perspective from decades spent building teams and products across consumer technology, audio, and media.

    The discussion centers on what the hosts call the “Bright Star” effect drawing based an incredible story about Howard White from Nike and Jordan Brand. The idea that a single sentence, a small vote of confidence, or a leader simply saying “I see something in you” can create ripple effects that last for years. These moments are rarely formal or planned, and the person offering them often does not remember them. But for the person on the receiving end, they can become a turning point.

    Jim also shares practical leadership habits that defined his career. From personally calling frustrated customers every week, to focusing on outcomes instead of effort, to pushing teams to take initiative before asking for permission. Throughout the conversation, the emphasis stays grounded in dignity, ownership, and trust as real drivers of performance.

    The episode closes with a reminder that leadership is not about protecting a position. It is about creating more leaders. Whether you manage a team or are early in your career, this conversation offers a clear message. Small moments matter. How you show up matters. And belief, when given freely, compounds.

  • The Fastest Way to Build Trust

    The Fastest Way to Build Trust
    Jan 6 2026
    Accountability often gets framed as punishment. In reality, it is one of the most powerful trust builders available to leaders and teams.In this episode, Jaime Solis and Jonathan Sasse break down why humans are wired to deflect blame and hide mistakes, and why choosing ownership instead sends a powerful signal of credibility. They explain how accountability short circuits distrust, builds momentum, and turns ordinary contributors into people others want to bet on.The conversation introduces three common accountability archetypes found in most organizations, from chronic deflectors to proactive owners who step forward before being asked. They explore how clarity of ownership makes accountability possible in the first place, and why thrashing roles and expectations upfront is far cheaper than sorting out blame at the end.They also examine accountability during high pressure moments like public missteps and internal crises. From individual teams to global brands, the same principle holds. Leaders go first. They own the outcome. They fix what broke. When accountability becomes a daily practice instead of a rare event, trust compounds and execution improves across the board.–––🎧 Listen and subscribe: Slackers Pod Homepage💼 Connect with Jonathan and Jaime:Jonathan Sasse — LinkedIn | ForbesJaime Solis — Red Threads Newsletter | LinkedIn | Instagram | ThreadsWe want to hear from you!🤔 Do you have a question you'd love to ask us, or a topic you think we should dive into on the show?

  • Nobody Knows Anything

    Nobody Knows Anything
    Dec 30 2025
    The hardest part of building something meaningful is accepting how little control you actually have.In this episode, Jaime Solis and Jonathan Sasse unpack the idea popularized by screenwriter William Goldman: nobody knows anything. They challenge the belief that success can be neatly planned, predicted, or reverse engineered by copying what worked before. Looking backward makes patterns feel obvious. Living forward rarely is.They explore why builders get trapped chasing “the next big thing,” mistaking surface level traits for root causes. Cheap horror movies did not succeed because they were cheap. They succeeded because they solved a market need at the right moment. The same is true for products, careers, and creative work. Quality matters, but timing, context, and persistence matter just as much.The conversation reframes leadership in uncertain environments. Instead of pretending the path is straight, leaders should acknowledge that progress looks more like a jungle gym than a roadmap. Detours are not failures. They are information. When nobody knows anything, the only reliable anchor is a shared obsession with the customer and the discipline to stay in the game long enough for luck to show up.Because hits are not engineered. They are earned through stamina, humility, and the willingness to keep swinging.–––🎧 Listen and subscribe: Slackers Pod Homepage💼 Connect with Jonathan and Jaime:Jonathan Sasse — LinkedIn | ForbesJaime Solis — Red Threads Newsletter | LinkedIn | Instagram | ThreadsWe want to hear from you!🤔 Do you have a question you'd love to ask us, or a topic you think we should dive into on the show?
