Dive in as hosts Jeremy Nagel and Joey Corea unpack how to prioritise without overthinking . They explore practical frameworks like RICE , RICE, UICEs and FUICE experiment with ways to reduce uncertainty, debate urgency versus importance, and share how AI, accountability, and small experiments can help you focus on what actually matters.
