You hope this day never comes, you plan for it like it might be around the corner, it may or may not happen but you have to build that safety net. On today's episode we talk about our experience(s) of unemployment and how planning for emergency's will help you weather that storm. Mauricio and Mike talk though resigning without a back up plan and getting laid off as result of external forces (economic/pandemic). Along the professional journey you hit bumps, some you cause yourself and others that come your way. Both cases are ones that require you to pivot and adjust.

In this episode we talk about the different types of help to seek and relate them to our own life experiences.
