Pivoting From Absolute FAILURE I Podcast #159

So on today's topic for the Jeff Heilman Project, I will pitch the subject and then we'll bounce around and we'll talk about it.

In Season 5, Episode 16, I'm looking at my notes.

The air date was February 25th, 1999.

There is the infamous Friends episode, The One with the Cop, I believe is what it's called.

Yes, The One with the Cop is...

And I call it infamous because there's this one pivotal scene where Ross buys a couch but will refuse to pay to have it delivered and therefore gets stuck in the staircase.

And we are very familiar with the meme of him shouting, pivot, pivot.

Yes.

So for today's episode, and maybe Andrew will show a little clip.

That's what that's from.

We all love Friends, but especially that one episode where we can all empathize with Ross and trying to instruct his friends to help him move this couch up like three flights of stairs and having to shout pivot.

That's right.

And to go with the theme of pivot and the art of being able to pivot, the quote that I have for us today is from TD Jakes.

And he said, we are born to look like our parents.

We die looking like our decisions.

And so I would like to open up the floor for this conversation of the podcast talking about the ability to pivot, how can we maybe do better at pivoting, when are some times that you've found yourself consciously having to pivot, and the speed and the readiness, I think, to be able to pivot.

So today is all about pivot.

Thank you for the Friends writers with the one with the cop and that familiar phrase of Ross Geller shouting in the stairwell.

Pivot.

To which I hand to you your topic.
