In this week’s podcast, we recklessly make enemies with everyone who loves kombucha, but for a good cause, the routing out of bad bosses! That is, bosses who think a well-stocked snack bar can cover for a leader who doesn’t have the time or inclination to make people want to come in for…the actual work. GET OUT! Also on the pod: Rants about your personality, snakes, and slow-walking tourists. Honestly, no one is safe on Becoming You, except Pierre.

In this week’s episode, Suzy takes a gander at the new essay questions for admission to Harvard Business School and reacts with a deeply flummoxed, “SAY WHAT?” Then – surprise, friends! – she attempts to answer her own question. Isn’t that just always the way around here? Also in this episode of the pod, special love for Gen Z with the introduction to an artist you should know, plus tips on how to get a raise, get help when you need it, and get a job that’s right for you. It’s all here, and so much more, because anything is possible when you talk fast.

Do you sometimes wake up in the middle of the night realizing a problem can be understood, and perhaps even solved, by reflecting on the last line of “The Great Gatsby?” SAME HERE! That’s why in this episode Suzy waxes poetic about the power of literature to make us better leaders, followers, parents, friends, whatever, everything. Also on the pod: A listener's question about feeling defeated that made Suzy cry so we had to re-record, thoughts on being in sales, more toxic corporate jargon, and the one emotion that should be against the law. Tune in, we’re waiting for ya.
