From the archive! It's our very first episode 🐣
Since we have 90 episodes in the bank these days, we figured that we should use them! Plus, sometimes it's too hot for us to record. Apologies, but we'll be back next week!

Experimenting, the perfect travel buddy & Cruella 🐩
There's some pep in our step this week! We record this one right before taking off for a weekend away, so we are PUMPED and you might be able to hear it in your earholes.
We explore whether you should treat life as one big experiment, why it's important to have "girl time" and our take on the Friends reunion! 😅

A difficult nut, creative envy, and treating your job like a freelance gig ✨
This week we are scrambling eggs live on air. Just kidding! This is a test to see if anyone reads the shownotes. But Penny, what are you two gonna talk about!?! Well, I'm so glad you asked. On this week's episode we discuss a different way to approach your new, the three different ways to tackle career uncertainty (there might be more ways, but we're discussing just a few here), as well as the Bo Burnham Netflix special and the art of getting dressed. Do join us!

How to deliver a GREAT presentation + what's wrong with TikTok? 😬
RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN IN BERLIN! It's not a topic that we dive into this week but it does explain why we kept this episode nice and snappy! We had a dinner date to run to! 🥳
In this episode we talk all about how to nail your next pitch or presentation, why TikTok is a little scary and also whether or not we'd recommend travelling before settling into your career!
Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Customer Reviews
Drinks with Friends
Absolutely love this podcast. I know Penny and Brittni in real life, and Happy Hour is THEM – completely authentic, full of wisdom, and unexpectedly, charmingly not-too-polite. Listening is the next best thing to sitting down for a couple of cocktails, having a laugh, and getting actually useful advice on work and life.
Refreshing!
Penny and Brittni are both hilarious and helpful. This podcast is a nice break from other business podcasts!
Lots of
Lots of useful tips and funny insights into the design world. But please oh please, use the word “like” a little less often. It’s driving me a little coo coo.
