As we wind down this year and many of us prep for the holidays, your hosts reflect on recent lessons they have learned or reflected on from Podcasts, Social Media, life experiences etc.
For any Sauser, you know how much Liz & Mol love, admire, and respect Taylor Swift. As she was crowned Time's Woman of the Year, they took some key lessons from her.
You won't want to miss as your hosts weave business lessons from various outlets and how it all (of course!) ties back to Taylor Swift.
Sausers, happy holidays! We had a few weeks off but it feels good to be back and recording! Thank you for all of your support in 2024.
You know that feeling. You open up Linkedin and see a former classmate or colleague being promoted and you are immediately happy for them and also begin to question your career. Your career path. Your career choices, should you too be promoted? Should you have that title? Many of us have been in that position and join your hosts Molly and Liz as they discuss similar feelings and tips on how to not let your mind race and remember we are are all running our own race.

The final Saus episode of 2022 and an episode you will not want to miss. Tune in this week as your hosts, Liz & Molly, discuss the future of the Saus. What will the rest of the year look like? What will the rest of the season look like? This discussion then leads the two of them into talking about mentorship and one mentor, in particular, Alison Hadden. Liz and Molly met who they fondly refer to as, 'Hadden' at the one and only, Glassdoor. Hadden was almost like an older sister who believed in them, taught them how to sell, and gave them direct feedback and was always there to support them. Listen to why Hadden is such a special mentor and the biggest lessons they have taken from Hadden on their personal, and professional, journeys, and why a mentor is so important.

Sausers, have you had a manager you've worked with for many years, where everything gels, and you know how to communicate, and it's just easy? And suddenly, that manager shifts to a new role, and you have a new manager. How do you get to that 'easy' place you had with your previous manager? How do you make sure your manager knows how best to communicate with you and what you are working on. Your hosts define and discuss how to 'manage up' and why it is just so important. This conversation is led by an article by Culture Amp (linked below). Enjoy, Sausers!

This conversation is fun, your hosts hope educational and/or enlightening (it was for them!). We hope you enjoy, Sausers!

Sausers! Your hosts are enjoying a last summer break, so this week's episode will be one from The Saus Vault (you will notice the old intro and nov video this week). On this episode from Season 1 with Robert Hohman, the former CEO and now Chairman of Glassdoor Robert talks about leadership, making tough decisions, and building a company from the ground up - and shares lessons he learned along the way.
