Both Eric and I are collapsing at the same time. 💀 The grass is always seems greener. Leaving corporate and doing your own thing is sincerely not sunshine and rainbows. Today, we talk about our inner rage, burnout, leadership expectations, being chronically let down, and the impossible transition from IC → manager → founder → creator. You're catching me in a deep spiral from work, hiring, creative overload as a one-woman team. Eric is going through his own burnout, loneliness, and existential crises as a startup founder. But I think we'll somehow get through this.

Today, we're unpacking all the angsty stuff about burnout, success, insecurity, and friendship.The entire episode runs on two parallel arcs:1. Chloe hitting 1 million followers and dealing with the fallout2. Eric trying to keep up emotionally, creatively, and personallyWe discuss how friendships evolve when one friend takes off career-wise, how to stay emotionally grounded, and how to stay connected despite chaos.This is sincerely my favorite episode so far. It's incredibly nuanced, a scary conversation to have, and such an interesting behind-the-scenes deep talk of our inner worlds. Hope you enjoy!

love,

chloe + eric

Today is about all networking, introversion, power dynamics, and how relationships actually form in professional spaces - especially when you *hate* networking, but know it matters. Both Eric and I have wildly different personalities navigating the same high-power ecosystems, from Cannes Lions to Vidcon, and we get into what it really feels like to move through rooms full of important people, big egos, and invisible social rules.We talk about:✨ how to exist in elite spaces without burning out✨ introvert exhaustion & social hangovers✨ imposter syndrome in rooms you “don’t belong” in✨ the cringe of self-promotion✨ and the tension between being really good at what you do… and being seen for itIf networking has ever made you feel awkward, small, or like you’re playing a game you never learned the rules to - you’re not alone.Sometimes we walk into rooms that weren’t built for us.But we still have to decide how we show up anyway. 💌𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙅𝙊𝙈𝙊 𝙃𝙊𝙎𝙏𝙎 🎙️𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗲𝗶 - IG: https://www.instagram.com/erictwayco-founder of Karat Financial, helping creators with finances𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗵 - IG: https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/tech pm turned creator making videos on career, personal growth, and life in your 20s/30s.

Welcome back to SEASON 2 of the Joy of Missing Out podcast! After a 1 year hiatus, we are finally back. Tysm for your patience. We also did receive plenty of angy comments about why we didn't come back in 2025 😅 but just remember, it's just us doing it from my living room o___o (yes, this is Chloe). Podcasting looks so chill, but the production ops is a monster to do right. I also changed careers, joined a new agency, got married, worked a BUNCH, and tried to produce this pod. I vowed to myself that if it wasn't good, it's not going out. I finally think it's ready to release! Eric and I decided to kick off the first episode with THE WEDDING ✨ This episode is about my wild, overwhelming year (wedding, career explosion, burnout) and Eric's personal chaos (broken foot, heartbreak, startup pressure, loneliness). ChatGPT says: Together, Eric and Chloe talk about friendship under pressure, how distance tests connection, and what it means to come back together after a year that nearly broke both of us. (HAHA wow so dramatic) Hope you enjoy our S2 premiere!

What's the difference between networking and clout chasing? A lot of times you want to meet cool people. But then you get accused of clout chasing. Even though the two things have different intentions, from the outside they can look the same. It's a tricky thing to balance.
