Not so fast. In this episode, Kim and Jason rip into the shiny promise of speed at all costs—and the very real damage it leaves behind. From slashing vital research to chasing clicks with outrage bait, they expose how a lack of debate, accountability, and thoughtful decision-making can spiral into chaos. This isn’t just about tech; it’s about what happens when leaders skip the hard conversations and dodge the consequences. Drawing from their own experiences, they make the case for cultures that value learning over ego, action over excuses, and why psychological safety isn’t just nice to have—it’s non-negotiable. It’s a no-BS look at what happens when no one’s allowed to say, “Hey, maybe let’s not.”Get all of the show notes at RadicalCandor.com/podcast.Episode Links:How To Get Shit Done | Radical Candor Podcast 4 | 2Leaders Can Move Fast And Fix ThingsCEO Of $4.2 Billion Tech Giant Says Defying Silicon Valley's ‘Move Fast And Break Things’ Mantra Was Essential To Growing His Business | FortuneAmy Edmondson—The Science Of Failing Well | Radical Candor Podcast 5 | 18The Measurement Problem—Development Versus Management | Radical Candor Podcast 3 | 7Connect:WebsiteInstagramTikTokLinkedInYouTubeChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionKim and Jason introduce the episode's topic of the "move fast and break things" philosophy.(00:00:31) Mistakes, Innovation, and SafetyWhy admitting errors is key to progress—even in high-stakes fields.(00:02:44) Ebola Funding FalloutA case study in reckless decisions and real-world impact.(00:05:08) When Speed Isn’t the AnswerHow context matters—from search engines to nuclear plants.(00:08:10) Accountability & PowerThe erosion of checks and balances in tech and government.(00:10:30) Scale Changes the StakesWhy today’s tech giants can’t play by startup rules.(00:14:40) Metrics That MisleadHow measuring engagement drives harmful content.(00:20:01) Debate Fuels InnovationWhy creating space for disagreement leads to better outcomes.(00:23:43) Power, Politics, and PlatformsHow tech companies avoid regulation and the need for public input.(00:28:52) Inside Content ModerationKim’s Google stories and the need for democratic input.(00:36:46) Why Oversight Is So HardThe difficulty of encouraging informed debate in organizations.(00:41:37) Radical Candor TipsTips for moving fast without breaking what matters most.(00:42:52) Conclusion
