The Stacking Benjamins Show

Lessons from the Trenches: Career Branding Good, Bad, and Ugly (SB1674)


Listen Later

What do zipper injuries, holiday party mishaps, and servant leadership have in common? They’re all part of today’s wide-ranging look at careers—what to do, what not to do, and how to make your next move smarter (and safer).


Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug are joined by contributors Sandy Smith, Jesse Cramer, and a few classic career stories from the SB vault. Together, they explore:


  • The surprising power of likability in the workplace
  • How consistency and personal branding can open big doors
  • Why some leadership styles flop and others inspire
  • The real-life career missteps that made us all a little wiser
  • A closer look at the Elevate Conference, which champions financial literacy for Black women

  • And of course, it wouldn’t be a basement episode without a trivia challenge. This time, Doug delivers a stat that’ll make every listener squirm—let’s just say it involves zippers and emergency rooms.


    Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, considering a leap, or just trying to avoid HR’s bad side, this episode packs in real advice and memorable stories from people who’ve been there, done that, and got the awkward email to prove it.


    Smart moves, cautionary tales, and Doug’s very specific warning about pants—this one's got it all.
