    Adapting to Adulthood During Covid - In Review

    Today on Black Box, we sit down with our boy Alberto Monges, an Accountant/Business Analyst. We do cover a bit about the job and work in general but it’s more in regards to adjustment. We talk about the struggles some can go through when adjusting to the adult world, especially during the period where WFH was forced because of COVID restrictions. To compliment this, we also cover work-life balance and how that can help the adjustment to working full time. It wouldn’t be Black Box if we didn’t discuss investing a little bit as well… 😂 Be sure to check out Blvck Ice for any Jewelry needs! • Email us at blackboxsubmission@gmail.com • Check out our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFmvklDGay2iYOeRQ6wy0Ug • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blckboxpodcast/ • Twitter: https://twitter.com/blckboxpodcast • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blackboxpodcast This episode is sponsored by Zencastr, our #1 podcast tool.

    Corporate Espionage?

    Today on Black Box, we sit down with Robert Kerbeck, author of Ruse: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street, which is a detailed memoir about his experience as a corporate spy. Robert started his career as an actor, initially doing stage performances on Broadway, but then moving out to Los Angeles where he later went on to appear in many shows that we all grew up watching… examples being Melrose Place and NYPD Blue.  As Robert goes on to explain, acting can be a difficult field when you don’t have consistent work, which led to him being recruited by some firms to engage in corporate spying.  Spying started as his side gig for money while he searched for acting jobs, but after some success and his name got around to different corporations, the offers were too good to refuse and he went full time into spying. https://www.robertkerbeck.com/ Be sure to check out Blvck Ice for any Jewelry needs! • Email us at blackboxsubmission@gmail.com • Check out our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFmvklDGay2iYOeRQ6wy0Ug • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blckboxpodcast/ • Twitter: https://twitter.com/blckboxpodcast • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blackboxpodcast This episode is sponsored by Zencastr, our #1 podcast tool.
