Living (and Working) Authentically with “Be Yourself at Work” Author Claude Silver (Ep 15)
💐 Episode Summary
When work is such a major part of any life, how can we deny the parallels of ourselves at work and outside of work? With guest Claude Silver, we go deep on this topic and more as we analyze the songs on Claude’s music playlist for her book, Be Yourself At Work. With tons of deep ‘80s cuts, and an homage to the working class music mantras and New Jersey pride and joy (Bruce, Whitney, and Jon Bon Jovi), this episode is a meditation on how to live out loud, and live earnestly. Expect plenty of singing, dancing, and existential geeking out, as always.
