Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton are back for a fresh new season of WorkParty! They kick off this episode with updates of where they’ve been taking WorkParty on the road thus far, and dive into an informative conversation on all things negotiation—how to master it, why it’s such a powerful tool, and how women can show up to the table with confidence and clarity. From brand deals, to even car purchase negotiations, they stories of wins, missteps, and the wisdom they’ve learned along the way.

They’ll also explore how the recent issue of tariffs is impacting small businesses and what that teaches us about high-stakes negotiation in both business and politics. Plus, Marina breaks down her best tactics for standing firm, knowing your worth, and being willing to walk away, while Jaclyn keeps it real about the draining toll intense negotiations can take. Whether you love a good deal or dread the back and forth, this episode is full of insights and encouragement to help you hold your ground and know your value. We can’t wait to bring you more WorkParty this year, so subscribe and stay tuned!
