    The Ugly Truth About Leaving Corporate (1 Year Later)

    Both Eric and I are collapsing at the same time. ๐Ÿ’€ The grass is always seems greener. Leaving corporate and doing your own thing is sincerely not sunshine and rainbows. Today, we talk about our inner rage, burnout, leadership expectations, being chronically let down, and the impossible transition from IC โ†’ manager โ†’ founder โ†’ creator. You're catching me in a deep spiral from work, hiring, creative overload as a one-woman team. Eric is going through his own burnout, loneliness, and existential crises as a startup founder. But I think we'll somehow get through this.

    I gained 1M followersโ€ฆbut lost friends

    Today, we're unpacking all the angsty stuff about burnout, success, insecurity, and friendship.The entire episode runs on two parallel arcs:1. Chloe hitting 1 million followers and dealing with the fallout2. Eric trying to keep up emotionally, creatively, and personallyWe discuss how friendships evolve when one friend takes off career-wise, how to stay emotionally grounded, and how to stay connected despite chaos.This is sincerely my favorite episode so far. It's incredibly nuanced, a scary conversation to have, and such an interesting behind-the-scenes deep talk of our inner worlds. Hope you enjoy! love, chloe + eric ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐™…๐™Š๐™ˆ๐™Š ๐™ƒ๐™Š๐™Ž๐™๐™Ž ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ ๐—˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ถ IG: https://www.instagram.com/erictway co-founder of Karat Financial, helping creators with finances ๐—–๐—ต๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ต โ IG: https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ tech pm turned creator making videos on career, personal growth, and life in your 20s/30s. ๐™Ž๐™Š๐˜พ๐™„๐˜ผ๐™‡๐™Ž ๐ŸŒธ โˆ™ instagram โ†’ https://www.instagram.com/jomo.pod โˆ™ spotify โ†’ https://spoti.fi/466BRP3 โˆ™ apple podcasts โ†’ https://bit.ly/jomo-apple โˆ™ tiktok โ†’ https://www.tiktok.com/@jomopod โˆ™ discord โ†’ https://discord.gg/udRmVpf3Xv โˆ™ patreon โ†’ https://www.patreon.com/jomopod ๐Ÿ“ง business: jomo.chat@gmail.com #jomopod #joyofmissingout #chloeshih #ericwei #careerpodcast #businesspodcast #corporatecreatives

    A Hater's Guide to Networking

    Today is about all networking, introversion, power dynamics, and how relationships actually form in professional spaces - especially when you *hate* networking, but know it matters. Both Eric and I have wildly different personalities navigating the same high-power ecosystems, from Cannes Lions to Vidcon, and we get into what it really feels like to move through rooms full of important people, big egos, and invisible social rules.We talk about:โœจ how to exist in elite spaces without burning outโœจ introvert exhaustion & social hangoversโœจ imposter syndrome in rooms you โ€œdonโ€™t belongโ€ inโœจ the cringe of self-promotionโœจ and the tension between being really good at what you doโ€ฆ and being seen for itIf networking has ever made you feel awkward, small, or like youโ€™re playing a game you never learned the rules to - youโ€™re not alone.Sometimes we walk into rooms that werenโ€™t built for us.But we still have to decide how we show up anyway. ๐Ÿ’Œ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐™…๐™Š๐™ˆ๐™Š ๐™ƒ๐™Š๐™Ž๐™๐™Ž ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐—˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ถ - IG: https://www.instagram.com/erictwayco-founder of Karat Financial, helping creators with finances๐—–๐—ต๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ต - IG: https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/tech pm turned creator making videos on career, personal growth, and life in your 20s/30s. ๐™Ž๐™Š๐˜พ๐™„๐˜ผ๐™‡๐™Ž ๐ŸŒธโˆ™ instagram โ†’ https://www.instagram.com/jomo.podโˆ™ spotify โ†’ https://spoti.fi/466BRP3โˆ™ apple podcasts โ†’ https://bit.ly/jomo-appleโˆ™ tiktok โ†’ https://www.tiktok.com/@jomopodโˆ™ discord โ†’ https://discord.gg/udRmVpf3Xvโˆ™ patreon โ†’ https://www.patreon.com/jomopod๐˜พ๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐™‹๐™๐™€๐™๐™Ž ๐Ÿ“š0:00 ๐Ÿ“ง business: jomo.chat@gmail.com#jomopod #joyofmissingout #chloeshih #ericwei #careerpodcast #businesspodcast #corporatecreatives

    My Honest Feelings about Chloeโ€™s Wedding... | Season 2 Premiere

    Welcome back to SEASON 2 of the Joy of Missing Out podcast! After a 1 year hiatus, we are finally back. Tysm for your patience. We also did receive plenty of angy comments about why we didn't come back in 2025 ๐Ÿ˜… but just remember, it's just us doing it from my living room o___o (yes, this is Chloe). Podcasting looks so chill, but the production ops is a monster to do right. I also changed careers, joined a new agency, got married, worked a BUNCH, and tried to produce this pod. I vowed to myself that if it wasn't good, it's not going out. I finally think it's ready to release! Eric and I decided to kick off the first episode with THE WEDDING โœจ This episode is about my wild, overwhelming year (wedding, career explosion, burnout) and Eric's personal chaos (broken foot, heartbreak, startup pressure, loneliness). ChatGPT says: Together, Eric and Chloe talk about friendship under pressure, how distance tests connection, and what it means to come back together after a year that nearly broke both of us. (HAHA wow so dramatic) Hope you enjoy our S2 premiere!

    Going into office can be tiring, but with an office crush it can make you look forward to going to work! With 43% of people married to someone they worked with, your future partner might just be awaiting you there (it's pretty statistically probable!)
