There's some pep in our step this week! We record this one right before taking off for a weekend away, so we are PUMPED and you might be able to hear it in your earholes. 

We explore whether you should treat life as one big experiment, why it's important to have "girl time" and our take on the Friends reunion! 😅

This week we are scrambling eggs live on air. Just kidding! This is a test to see if anyone reads the shownotes. But Penny, what are you two gonna talk about!?! Well, I'm so glad you asked. On this week's episode we discuss a different way to approach your new, the three different ways to tackle career uncertainty (there might be more ways, but we're discussing just a few here), as well as the Bo Burnham Netflix special and the art of getting dressed. Do join us!

RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN IN BERLIN! It's not a topic that we dive into this week but it does explain why we kept this episode nice and snappy! We had a dinner date to run to! 🥳

In this episode we talk all about how to nail your next pitch or presentation, why TikTok is a little scary and also whether or not we'd recommend travelling before settling into your career!

Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

This week we're talking about boundaries, moving overseas, the good post-its, and all the things you think you might need to buy but absolutely don't. Here's our  definitive guide for managers trying to figure out how they should approach boundaries with staff; which includes making rules around personal phones, which emojis you can and can't use, language, weekends, and SO. MUCH. MORE. Does this sound like fun?!! It might be, and there's one way to find out ;)

We recently had a listener question about moving overseas, so we thought we'd re-post this episode from last year as A) it's fun and B) we cover some tips on moving abroad. 

There’s also some chat about work in there! We discuss cultural fit interviews and if there’s any value in them, the power of the good looking, and what we should do with talented people who are, in fact, assholes 🙅‍♂️

Show notes:

😄The new complex emotions: https://www.thecut.com/2020/02/78-new-complex-emotions.html

❤️Our favourite new emotions: Jealoushy, Abundamort, Creditphoria, Buralysis, Itchy Teeth

If you work in tech, you’ve probably heard about what happened at Basecamp last week. If you haven’t heard of it, then feel free to read this before (or after) listening 👉 https://world.hey.com/Jason/changes-at-basecamp-7f32afc5

This week we dive deep into what it really means that the founders of Basecamp made this big announcement, plus Penny’s obsession with birds and Brittni’s new found love of Jeopardy!

Better late than never, right?! Sorry we missed last week's ep, the two of us couldn't come up with one interesting thought between us 😬But this week we're bringing the rants, the randomness, and a couple of ever-so-slightly bitchy moments. Hope that's ok with you, but if it's not, go ahead and get a skin cancer check instead!
