“Just work hard and you’ll get promoted.” If you’ve heard this before and it still hasn’t worked out… Kendall’s here to tell you why.

In this 100th episode of Secrets of the Career Game, Kendall calls BS on the most common career clichés that keep high-performers stuck and overlooked. From toxic loyalty traps to the myth of passion-driven success, this episode breaks down the 8 most mediocre pieces of advice—and replaces them with strategies that actually get you promoted, noticed, and respected.

This is not a motivational pep talk. It’s your playbook for making smarter, more strategic moves inside corporate systems that were never built to reward quiet hard work. Plus: Kendall launches a Name Our Listeners contest and issues a two-week networking challenge that could literally change your career trajectory.

• Why doesn’t hard work alone get you promoted?

• How do you build influence without playing dirty office politics?

• Who should you really be networking with?

• When does “loyalty” become career sabotage?
