A difficult nut, creative envy, and treating your job like a freelance gig ✨

On this week's episode we discuss a different way to approach your new, the three different ways to tackle career uncertainty (there might be more ways, but we're discussing just a few here), as well as the Bo Burnham Netflix special and the art of getting dressed.

This week we're talking about boundaries, moving overseas, the good post-its, and all the things you think you might need to buy but absolutely don't. Here's our definitive guide for managers trying to figure out how they should approach boundaries with staff; which includes making rules around personal phones, which emojis you can and can't use, language, weekends, and SO.

From the archive! The innards of our minds 🧠
We recently had a listener question about moving overseas, so we thought we'd re-post this episode from last year as A) it's fun and B) we cover some tips on moving abroad.
There’s also some chat about work in there! We discuss cultural fit interviews and if there’s any value in them, the power of the good looking, and what we should do with talented people who are, in fact, assholes 🙅♂️
Show notes:

Making friends, Britt's big announcement, and.....death?!!!
Better late than never, right?! Sorry we missed last week's ep, the two of us couldn't come up with one interesting thought between us 😬But this week we're bringing the rants, the randomness, and a couple of ever-so-slightly bitchy moments. Hope that's ok with you, but if it's not, go ahead and get a skin cancer check instead!

Asking for advice online and what makes a great (remote) leader! 🧐

We’re taking this opportunity to interview Wesley Anne Little (on instagram: @wesleyannelittle), a couples therapist from North Carolina who is a regular guest on Chris Do’s YouTube channel.
