Ever wish you could time-travel and give your past self career advice?

Join Reggie, Dawn, Adrian, and Anthony in this raw, unfiltered episode as they revisit their chaotic first-job journeys—complete with cringe-worthy interviews, unexpected red flags, and hard-won wisdom.

You’ll hear:

• Adrian (Professional CMO, Author of 'No More Bosses', and self-proclaimed "renter") on why his dream job title turned out to be a shocking bait-and-switch.
• Anthony (Retail Investor and fellow "professional renter") shares how a traumatic first job became his ultimate career catalyst.
• Tactics to dodge employer red flags, ace interviews, and turn internships into job offers—even when the odds stack against you.
• Why networking isn’t optional (and how to do it without being "that" intern).

Real talk from Gen X to Gen Z: "Your first job isn’t permanent—it’s slavery with an exit button." "If the company’s desperate to hire you? Run."

Perfect for you if:

• You’re hunting for your first job (or still traumatized by it).
• You’ve ever wondered, "How did they even get hired?!"
• You crave advice that’s 0% sugar, 100% real.

Tune in now for stories that’ll make you laugh, gasp, and rethink everything you know about "starting out."
