How do you bond with your boss if you don’t smoke or drink? Do I have to talk tough and walk tough at work? How do I speak up and take a stance? Must I always buy the birthday cakes and serve refreshments at meetings just because I’m a woman?

So many of you wrote in to demand a survival guide for working in male-dominated work cultures, so I asked my old friend, ex Debt Capital Markets banker John LeFevre to join us. 

 John is a New York Times bestselling author of Straight to Hell, which was published by Simon and Schuster, and had the movie rights bought by Paramount Films.  He started the cultural phenomenon known as GS Elevator on Twitter, a satirical account discussing banking culture, which grew to more than a million followers on social media.

John drops some of his unabashedly frank wisdom, stories and real life advice in this episode, and you can find him at
