This episode begins our series about our work histories and ever-growing contempt for capitalism. In this first part, Doug talks about his journey from sandwich artist to car salesperson to social media consultant to data analyst--discussing everything from getting fired (twice) to freelancing (unsuccessfully) to stumbling into a new career on accident. Tangents include the "gig economy," white papers, Happiest Season, asexual representation, and R Programming.

[TRIGGER WARNINGS: Toxic workplaces, getting fired, financial struggles, and PTSD]
