EPISODE 241 Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand and with recent news stories of celebrities it’s a good time to talk about how anxiety affects our lives and careers.

Learn what you can do to fix this potential problem.

EPISODE 237 Will simply having your smart phone nearby influence your cognitive abilities? Studies have been done and the results are fairly concerning.

EPISODE 236 We usually try to keep things light and share vital information but today we’re tackling a heavier topic. When something goes wrong and everyone blames you, the workplace turns against you, you get the blame and they get off scot-free. You’ve been turned into the scapegoat!

EPISODE 234 When starting something new people tend to want to go big! Remember, when you go for the Grand Opening the goal isn’t to edify and educate; it’s to make money. Dr. Bray disagrees with that method. Start small, figure it out, grow, adapt, pivot. The slow burn is the way to go.
