    Is the Corporate Grass Greener on the Other Side? | S5E13

    Calling all job hoppers out there! We're joined by Thomas this time to discuss our experience with changing jobs as we advance our career, and we're definitely not the only ones strategically moving to another job as a way to keep growing professionally. What are the criteria do we use to determine if it's time to move on? What have our experiences been like?

    Is The First Cut The Deepest? | S5E11

    Are first-time experiences the most memorable? If it's a bad experience, is it hardest to overcome the first time and does it get easier? Conversely, if it's a good one, do you tend to remember only the first time it happens?

    Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty? | S5E10

    It's an age-old question.. are you a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty type of person? How does this understanding impact our day-to-day life? Is there an advantage of adopting a mindset that's not necessarily your natural predisposition?

Addictive podcast

Not sure how I found this podcast, just kinda stumbled upon it, but I used to watch OTGW. I love listening to them talk and occasionally they’ll have guests come on like Felicia. I’m a little older than Dan, and don’t hang out with my friends as much as I used to, I feel like I’m hanging out with them at a coffee shop. I grew up with OTGW and this feels like a successful spin off of it. Looking forward to more podcasts love it! Keep up the good work!
