Young Ambition's Ladder - Tough Conversations and Facing Failure

Young Ambition's Ladder - Tough Conversations and Facing Failure

This episode is a departure from the usual format! I picked three things that were top of mind and ramble on to test out my new audio equipment: tough conversations with colleagues, finding one's ambitions (again), and trying podcast ideas that might fail. And it's like 3 times longer than normal. I expect episodes for this season to be more sporadic and more like life updates.

Wednesday, and i'm keeping the main thing the main thing

I talk about my troubled past as a student unable to function as a human. And how that has creeped into my present. Mayhaps my favorite episode to date. More personal than practical, but I hope it helps you be personal too.

Monday, and I didn't back up my work

Monday, and I didn't back up my work

In S4E8, Carrie Bradshaw learned an important lesson about backing up one's data when working with computers. That was 21 years ago and I still haven't learned mine. So hear ye hear ye, I deleted my partner's work, that's right -- not even my own, and the recycling bin couldn't save me.
