Why not once in while speak with a working class worker instead of Uni educated, American workplace importer managers who ofte... more
Apple Podcasts1Willow K44Australia8 months ago - Good Show, Slogan not so good
I didn’t think I’d find this show interesting but I do. But thank God you got rid of that cringeworthy old slogan, “Work it baby.’ Awful. The new one is better but not better than having none at all. An extra star rating if you drop it!

Taiwana year ago - Authentic Self
This episode is reason enough to unsubscribe. I’d consider this to be pro employer messaging and almost propaganda from the guest (older generation) to dismiss the new younger coming in. This will only cause further division and issues in the world. Do better.
