    Be Greedy. Get Paid: How to Ask for More Money, Perks, and Power at Work

    In this episode, we’re reframing “greed” as a career strategy. If you’ve been taught to be grateful, quiet, or low-maintenance at work, you’re probably leaving money, perks, and power on the table. I break down the real reason ambitious people earn more—and the exact tactics you can use to do the same. We cover salary negotiation, asking for raises, getting better perks, using competing offers, and how to confidently ask for more without feeling guilty.
