ABOUT
Is the “Big Dance” costing you big money? This episode of Red, White & Green tackles the $12.1 billion hit to American productivity as workers spend an average of 1.5 hours per day tracking brackets. Ted Jenkin and Southside Steve debate the “Culture vs. Strategy” trade-off: Is the loss of work hours worth the boost in office morale, or are businesses falling safely backward?
We also go deep on the viral dress code battle taking over the internet. Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse recently doubled down on banning hats, gym wear, and “revealing clothing,” while Chili’s fired back with an “anything goes” policy. We discuss the death of decorum in America and why a 2,300-calorie Triple Dipper appetizer (aka “The Heart Clogger”) is exactly why you can wear a tank top to Chili’s but shouldn’t wear a ball cap to a high-end steakhouse.
We also reveal the ultimate airline money hack: Skiplagging. Learn how to beat the system and save up to $500 per flight by identifying the “cracks” in airline pricing. We also provide a masterclass on the 5 Money Personalities.
In The Green Room segment, Southside Steve interviews Ashish Bajpai, the engineering mind behind Elite Finishes GA. Ashish shares his unique “wife-vetted” hiring process—a masterclass in building a team that clients feel safe inviting into their homes. We dive into the grit of entrepreneurship: the fear of making payday, the importance of extreme prep work, and why “playing in the gray” isn’t about cutting corners, but about finding the strategic edge in a crowded market.
