I was lucky enough to be the interviewee for an episode of the live blog radio program “Collaboration Pizza” recently.

The host, Chris Coleman, was more gracious than I deserved and kind enough to ask me questions about which I had some manner of discrete knowledge, or could at least converse semi-intelligently.

By way of explanation, here is the origin of the “Ham Sandwich”.  I have a penchant for stopping discussions, particularly discussions about naming things, with a statement similar to, depending on the audience, “I don’t care what you [expletive optional] call it; call it a [expletive optional] [expletive optional] ham sandwich and let’s get back to the purpose of this discussion – helping you get the right information in front of the right person at the right time to make the right decision.”

Thanks to Chris Coleman, Arpana Sharma, and the entire team at Yakabod that made it such a great experience for me.

One last thanks to InsaneWiches.com for the very cool ham sandwich picture.  I asked Uncle Google for an image of a ham sandwich and ended up spending 10 minutes on their site.
