Jac Hughes spends most of his days providing presently surprising agile support at his company Everday Agile.

If you haven't already done so you should really check out his videos, they make me jealous they are so good 💘

In this episode, Jac educates me about something I knew nothing about, The Swimmers Body Illusion.

At first, I thought it was a classic magic trick, but no, turns out it is actually something very useful for us agile change agents.

🏊 Will swimming every day alone make you as ripped as a swimmer with chees grater abs?
🏊What does it have to do with copy and paste agility (definitely not talking about the Spotify model)
🏊Why Jac feels like agility like a full tank of petrol
🏊Why overlaying scrum on what already exists, is always bad news
🏊 What are the effects over empowerment?
🏊 What was Ben's big app idea you are welcome to steal?
🏊 Hear Jac say the words "Sexy UI in front and Dog Toffee at the back", still not sure what it means

💥💥!!Boom!!💥💥
