The Dough Lemonada

Speed skater Erin Jackson was the first Black girl EVER to win an individual gold medal at the Winter Olympics in 2022. But guess what? It's insanely expensive to train and compete as an Olympian and you get paid an annual salary of exactly zero dollars to do it – unless you win a medal and even then you gotta make that paycheck last until the next Olympics. We sat down with Erin to talk about the price of being the best in the world, and how to make a living doing what you love.

We’ve got a special treat for you today. We are going to be sharing an episode of The Deep Dive with June Diane Raphael and Jessica St. Clair with you as a part of our Lemonada Book Club series, a first-of-its-kind audiobook club powered by Lemonada Media and Apple Books. “The Art of Small Talk” by Casey Wilson and Jessica St. Clair, who is one of The Deep Dive’s co-hosts, was selected as our Lemonada Book Club’s June Book of the Month. This audiobook is a hilarious how-to for making chit-chat less painful. It will help you step up your conversational skills by being a practical guide on the gift of gab. 
In this episode of The Deep Dive, June and Jessica are joined by Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider, where they all dish on the art of small talk, both the audiobook and as a practice. Listen to The Art of Small Talk wherever you get your audiobooks.

We negotiate with each other every day. Where are we gonna go for dinner? What do you want out of this relationship? How long are you going to leave those damn dishes in the sink? But somehow, a lot of us get tongue-tied when it comes to asking for more money and better benefits at work. So we brought in an expert! Mandi Woodruff-Santos co-hosts the podcast, Brown Ambition Podcast, and she joins X to talk about how to find your next job, why you should always negotiate for more money, and how to ask for stellar benefits.
