    S02E07 - We Got Us a Live One!

    Prior to the pandemic, we had the opportunity to travel to Jacksonville Statue University in Jacksonville, AL and talk to some members of their chapter of Delta Sigma Pi about our views on work and work culture. They had lots of great questions, we pulled out some okayish answers! We had a blast working with them, and hope to do more live speaking engagements soon.

    S02E02 - Boss Pretending to Be A Leader - How Can You Tell?

    Often it's easy to mistake a boss for a leader - usually because they've become good at faking it! Knowing how to spot fake leadership early can save you loads of heartache and stress when the red flags start flying, and the ship starts sinking. In this episode we discuss what makes a good leader, what makes a bad boss, and how to know (and be!) the difference.
