"Can I Tell My Husband He Needs To Make More Money? Help!"

Today, Jason and Nicole dig into two stories that seem very similar.

"Can I Pivot A Failed Romantic Partnership to a Business Partnership? Help!" had me literally laughing out loud the whole time. I love how you truly take the premise of the podcast and take all of those situations we don’t know what to do with and break them down. Nicole - I’m not dating in the same circles you are, but I feel so seen from listening to your online dating experience! There is no ROI on dating. It’s not like sales, it’s like recruiting. ;) But the time time is only sunk if you don’t take something away from it personally or professionally. Mine has been interesting enough that I’ve started my notes for a book. I absolutely love all of both your podcasts!
