Self Control & Cheese

Mmmmkay so shit is *gestures wildly* happening today. And like it BEEN happening but it's like 👏ha 👏ppen 👏ing right now. 

And we're not in the best mindset of our lives so we're talking about that. And what we've been struggling with and how we've been dealing. 

We're not perfect and we're DEFINITELY not here to tell you how to live your lives. That's why you tune in every week, to listen to us talk about how we live our lives. 

So anyway. Think of us like your fun middle sister. Not as wise as your older sister, not as naive as your younger sister, the unproblematic one in the middle who can be wise sometimes and a fucking idiot at other times. It's cute on us. 

Stay safe out there friends, we're always here if you need to talk.

I mean the title really speaks for itself doesn't it? We brought our managers to podcast with us and they WILLINGLY ACCEPTED. 

What a win for us. 

MK and Jason are the kinds of people we all want to be when we grow up and we're just out here trying to have a fraction of their management skills. 

Whether you're currently a manager or an aspiring manager, this episode is chock full of tips on how to make sure you don't suck by accident.

Hey team. This is the second Hot Take (spicy af mini-sodes in-between the longer, whole ass episodes of self control & cheese.)

So here's 9 minutes on how you actually can be really good friends with your coworkers and why it's not that big of a deal. Truly, we're adults now... where else are we supposed to meet people we like?!

Well shoot, it's another episode of Self Control & Cheese. OUR FIRST GUEST. Today, we're talking all about side hustles and how to make a little extra money with the king himself, Connor Gross.

Obviously, this podcast is our side hustle (of a few, whoops) but Connor is smarter than us. He knows his shit about direct to consumer products and brands, and drops some serious knowledge about how to start one of your own (and what he’s learning along the way.)

Connor is currently a Product Marketer at Privy, did more than a few co-ops while in school, and he’s already sold a business, Cardly, was featured in Forbes, and did this all before he graduated college. NBD.

So essentially, we brought him on the pod to hopefully learn something so we can have a fraction of his success in our own side hustles.

Sup friends. What's that? An episode of Self Control and Cheese THIS WEEK? Yeah, we decided we're gonna do mini-episodes every other week called Hot Takes. 

That means one week you get a whole ass episode and then the next week you get a lil hot take to hold you over until the next episode. 

So here's 3:45 (plus the theme song) on why you don't need to idolize content creators when your job literally isn't to be a full time, lifestyle content creator ok?? You're doing great, proud of you.

Oh would ya look at that, it's another episode of Self Control & Cheese. Today, we're talking about something Sara and Bridget are straight up terrible at: Being Patient. In work and in life.

We don't want this podcast to be us tooting our own horn, so we got right on into talking about something we're both working on. Cause we're human and we're 20-somethings and we are FIGURING IT OUT.

We've legitimately all been through this: Starting a new job and that whole fun process that goes along with it. 

Bridget and Sara run through their tips on getting attention from hiring managers, interviewing the company just as much as they're interviewing you, and talkin' MONEY.

Hey hi what's up. Uhh this is Bridget and Sara. We're just two 20-somethings that decided we wanted to put our banter out on the internet for the whole world while we were stuck at home.  

*Cue Miranda Priestly* "A podcast? During COVID-19? Groundbreaking." 

We know. We're revolutionaries. 

Both Bridget and Sara have worked at the world's fastest growing tech companies and have learned a thing or two about what to look out for in a new employer, how to grow in your career no matter the circumstances, how to prioritize the things in your life that are not work related, and that cheese can really cure all things. 

Follow along with us as we share what we've learned and are still learning about being a 20-something working on growing a career, practicing self control, and enjoying some cheese along the way.
