Pls Fix Thx

We're all out! We don't have any. We're backed up. It seems like no matter what you're looking for these days, there's a massive shortage. The supply chain is broken and shipments aren't getting in. Need food? We're out of ketchup, Chic-Fil-A sauce, and chicken wings. Need shelter? We're out of housing and even wood. Thinking about sleeping in your car instead? We can't make more of those because we don't have computer chips. Amidst all this we bet you didn't even notice we're running low on other random things like paper bags, chlorine, and tennis balls. In this episode, we break down the shortage of everything and reflect on just how weird the supply chain got in the weirdest year ever.

We’re back for Season 3 with more hard-hitting, thought provoking observations than ever before. In episode 1, we take on travel, discuss common mask-wearing techniques, and talk about our latest adventures. Raj goes broke traveling through Ohio, United Airlines still sucks, and the CDC...doesn’t? Join us as we try to make sense of traveling in the post-but-not-really-post-pandemic era.

Just kidding! If you made it this far somehow without your eyes glazing over, we’re talking about the job application process (including confusing job descriptions like the one above), and how to successfully change career paths. We bring on our friend Samantha “Sam-yonce” Luu, a full-time talent acquisition specialist, to give us a recruiter’s perspective on the job application process. She shares her advice on how to approach recruiters, handle resumes and interviews, and tell your story when breaking into a new field. She’s even got great dating advice so there’s something here for everyone!

Whether it’s Star Wars, The Godfather, or our MBA series, we at Please Fix Thx love a good trilogy! To wrap up this series, we bring in our friend and colleague CJ John to talk about why he chose to not get an MBA and what he’s doing instead. CJ brings a different perspective than our first two guests, going into detail about how he began the application process for grad school before coming to the decision that it wasn’t right for him. We discuss when it is worth getting an MBA, and CJ shares his advice for those considering advancing their career without one.

We’re back for part 2 of our MBA discussion! If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, we highly recommend you take the time to do so first. This time, we’re talking to Saam Alikhani, a recent MBA graduate from Stanford who works in the real estate industry in New York. He shares why he wanted to get an MBA after law school, how it helped him get to where he is today, and advice he has for those of us looking to get an MBA in the near future.

This was our first two-part episode and second time bringing guests on the show. Let us know if you liked the format and the content! If you’d like to hear more stuff like this or have ideas for future topics, reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or by emailing us at [email protected]

Getting an MBA is often seen as a necessary step to a successful career. If you’re in a field like consulting or finance, you might be thinking of getting an MBA yourself or at least know people who are. But with the rising cost of an MBA, we’ve been thinking, is it still worth taking two years off to get one?

In our first of a two-part series, we talk to our friend Jack Kerschner, a current MBA student at University of Notre Dame, about his motivations for getting an MBA and what school during a pandemic is like. He walks us through his model for determining the value of an MBA, and shares valuable advice for those considering grad school.

We’re kicking off season 2 talking about streaming wars. Remember the quaint days of Netflix and chill? Now we got a dozen different platforms with more content than we could ever need, we’re paying as much as we ever were, and we’re so worked up about it we can’t even chill like we used to. We need to talk.

We’re taking on subscription fatigue, the proliferation of streaming services, discussing why cable is not good enough anymore and telling you how as a society, we can fix this. Take a listen and let us know what you think via instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or by emailing us at [email protected].
