Vulcan In The Streets ,

The most helpful and practical career podcast out there.

Sometimes this podcast feels like going to church.

Thank you so much for the amazing content. I always walk away learning something new about myself and how I can show up better, for myself, at work and in life.

One of the best

Great coaching and I love her ability to connect and jointly problem solve. She’s one of the best for sure. I have personally learned from each episode how to best navigate career development

A staple for me

I often feel bogged down in the day-to-day work of being a mid level professional. This podcast helps me bring my head up and be strategic in my observations and in my actions. Nearly every episode is helpful to me — even the ones that I don’t connect with at the beginning. By the end, I see how the content relates to me or to someone in my network. Hearing Muriel walk people through such a thoughtful evaluation — of self and of their environment — is truly something special. Thank you!
