The holiday season is here, and I hope you’re taking time to step away from work and enjoy moments with family and friends. It’s a time to reflect, recharge, and maybe even explore something new.

While we’re all embracing this festive break, we decided to create a few AI Podcasts inspired by some of the most popular articles I’ve written over the past three years. One of these, First Find the Company, Then Find the Job, resonated deeply with readers—thank you for all the thoughtful emails and words of encouragement. It’s always rewarding to hear how these insights have helped!

For me, podcasts have been a go-to for over a decade. What I love most is how they let me multitask—whether I’m walking, making dinner, or waiting at the doctor’s office, I can feed my curiosity and learn on the go.

So, if you’re in the U.S. and planning to walk off your Thanksgiving feast—or simply looking for something engaging to listen to—this podcast is for you. Whether you’re job hunting, thinking about advancing your career, or considering a complete shift, this article offers valuable guidance on where to start.

As an investor, I firmly believe in the idea of finding the right company first, then identifying the job. It’s a perspective I believe can pay dividends or at a minimum it’s worth considering.

In this episode, our AI Podcasters break down the key ideas from the article. If it piques your interest, you’ll find the full piece linked below. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think!

Happy Holidays and we will see you next week!

If you're a business leader or mentor guiding your mentees to enhance their career prospects, building financial strength is crucial.

Helping your mentees understand which companies are creating value, experiencing growth, and demonstrating strong earning power can be transformative. Employees who grasp these concepts not only improve their engagement but also contribute to the economic value and long-term success of the companies they serve. By learning which companies create value—and how investors evaluate that value—your mentees can position themselves for greater career success as they search for their next career opportunity.
