Shimina introduces us to Jim Collin’s book, “Good to Great.” We dive deep into one of the book’s powerful metaphors about being on the right bus, as it relates to one’s professional career path. This is one of our favorite episodes to date!

An impromptu stand-up meeting is an order! Have you seen “Hidden Figures” starring Teraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae? If not, then you should. If you have, then watch it again! This fantastic, Golden Globe-winning, and Oscar-nominated film has been taking over social media by storm! Because this movie praises the achievements of 3 black women in a segregated workplace, Paul and Shimina had to take the time to analyze the prevalent themes in the film, and compare it to what we still experience in 2017 today.

A topic that’s been discussed many times, but ever-evolving based on current social trends and standards: Code switching is an act and phenomenon that manifests itself in the workplace, family interactions, and friend groups. Paul & Shimina take a stab at the topic as it relates to their personal experiences.

Paul and Shimina ring in the new year by launching into a discussion on goal-setting. In this episode, the HBIC duo talks about establishing and evaluating their goals in and out of the workplace. Paul and Shimina also share their process of reflection in creating their goals, and why it’s important for them to do so periodically. On a different note, the end of 2016 left a sour taste in our mouths for many reasons. As a result, we had a plethora of “Bitch Ass Bosses” to call out at the end of the episode.

As we are in the midsts of the holiday season, Paul & Shimina give a homage to their moms! Although we are our own people and make our own decisions, do we inevitably pick up our parents' personalities, traits, and habits? These bosses take a look at how their parents' behaviors and mentalities take form in their everyday lives.

Time for another stand-up meeting! When it comes to online conversations, it’s really easy for people to talk the talk, but not walk the walk. Paul & Shimina take a minute to discuss the pros and cons of using social media for meaningful (or unmeaningful) conversations, especially within a socially political context. More importantly, they give their two cents on how to best engage with an online audience.

Paul & Shimina share their views on human flaws. Flaws are the very things we focus on to improve ourselves, but can we get rid of all of them? Are all flaws bad? Paul & Shimina also explore some of their personal flaws.

Shimina has more to say on Cheeto Elect’s win. Paul has no time for basicness (aka mediocrity). We find that we constantly have to move through a work and social environment where mediocrity is not an option, in order to be successful and debunk stereotypes associated with our multiple identities. It’s unfortunate that we live in a world where people can still catapult their careers based on a mediocre repertoire.
