    Adult Entertainment Companies Paying White Collar Workers 💰
    May 1 2024
    As the unemployment rate for recent graduates climbs higher than the national average, qualified white-collar workers are turning to unlikely sources for their next job. This week, we discuss a sticky situation involving “Mark,” an Ivy League marketer, and his stint at a Canadian adult entertainment company. What are the moral implications of taking a job in a taboo industry, and how does it impact one’s career? And what exactly is responsible for the dearth of jobs?

  • Why Boomers & Gen Y-Z Disagree on TikTok Ban

    Why Boomers & Gen Y-Z Disagree on TikTok Ban
    Apr 17 2024
    “Harold” is a disillusioned quiet quitter who finds himself impassioned to act after the House passed a bipartisan bill to ban TikTok. Harold represents some of the younger 175 million Americans fighting to keep the app around, whether as a source of information, entertainment or livelihood. On the other side of the generational divide, there are those who perceive TikTok to be, at best, an app drugging America's youth, and at worst, a means of surveillance for foreign adversaries. Why can't we agree on this ban, what might it mean for our freedom of speech, and what regulatory measures can we put in place to avoid it? That’s our conversation this week.

Life Changing Podcast

While the podcast may be called The Lonely Office, it is truly the first podcast I have listened to in the past few years that made me feel as though I was not alone. In fact, it may be the most life-changing podcast I have ever laid my ears upon. I shared it with my team, and seriously - I think that you may have helped save our sanity and careers. ♥️
