Whether you're talking to a prospective client, or to your boss about a promotion, you'll be faced with the same questions: when is it time to ask for money? And when it is the right time... how do you do it? Jason and Nicole help someone very close to home who is struggling with this question, and it all starts with a rule Jason learned while online dating.
If someone says the wrong thing, is it actually helpful to tell them? Today's caller, Jeff, got a message from an acquaintance asking if Jeff could secure an internship for his son. Jeff told his acquaintance that it would have been better if the son had reached out directly... should he have said that? Today, Jason and Nicole help you find the line that separates helpful feedback from overkill.
There are lots of resources for taking care of your career after you've been laid off, but there are far fewer resources for taking care of yourself after a layoff. Today, Jason and Nicole call up podcaster and emotional investigative journalist Yowei Shaw to talk about exactly this. Yowei talks about how surprised she was by how bad she felt when she was laid off and what she did to make herself start to feel better. Listen to Yowei's awesome podcast Proxy here: https://www.proxypodcast.com/ Watch Yowei's epic Kleenex pole dancing video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Uhu3OOxaj/
You have too much to do. Too many tasks, too many deadlines, too many things to track. Jason has the same problem — and today, he shares a simple solution that’s helped him. It’s called a list funnel, and it’s something he learned from Google’s in-house productivity expert. The list funnel helps you get things done and reduces your stress. Today he shares how it works — but first, he explains why our current solutions don’t.
On the show, Jason and Nicole read a lot of bad emails. Today, you're going to hear a good one— featuring the person who sent it, Julie Griggs, cofounder of the app Fourplay (a social platform where single friends match with other pairs and go on double dates). In this episode, Jason and Nicole explain why Julie's email was so good that they're still talking about it two years later.

Today, Jason teaches you how to chill out… while getting everything important done. Because for all the wild stories out there about hustlers hustling, there’s something important you need to know. Jason explains.
Maybe you started a business. Or pursued ambitious goals. You set the bar high, which meant that your life is often busy and complex — and sometimes you wonder: Did I do this wrong? Here’s Jason’s answer: Don’t question your past. Instead, take what you need from it. Today, Jason tells you how to do that— which will lead you to the right path.
Want to attract new business? Or just build valuable relationships? Here’s one of the best ways: Give away your knowledge. This may sound like a bad idea. Won’t people just steal your work and not pay you? In fact, the opposite is true: When you give away knowledge, you build trust and authority — and then people want you more! Today, Jason will show you how this works, and how to use it to your advantage. But to start, he’ll tell you about someone who did not do this — and how it led to the most awkward interview of Jason’s career.
There are some bizarre headlines making the rounds in business news... but, beyond the headlines, there are some important lessons on knowing your customer, personal branding, and how to collaborate meaningfully. Today, Jason and Nicole mine those lessons from the weirdo headlines.
Your comfort zone can also be a trap. It’s too easy to stick with what you know. Why make yourself uncomfortable? Today, Jason will give you the trick that he has used to propel himself into the unknown.
There are some wild stories in business news right now: a guy is suing a company because he misses his wife, a beer company blamed its stock performance on the weather and an airline is throwing it back to third grade and making a doctor's note a prerequisite for sick days. But these stories are not just weird headlines— there are business lessons too, if you know where to look. Today, Jason and Nicole find the unexpected advice and give you the diamonds from the rough.
Today, Jason tells Nicole a story of a very recent— and very public— failure. He explains what happened, how he panicked, and ultimately, what advice he got from a friend that made him feel better.
Jason and Nicole got a wonderfully crafted piece of constructive criticism from a listener: they swear too much on the show! Today, Nicole and Jason explain how they decided where to draw their line when it comes to swearing— and they teach you how to calibrate the trade-off between raw personality and professionalism.
Today Jason shares two strategies he uses to stop obsessing over small mistakes. He calls them Thinking Downward, and the Grading Curve. They’ve helped him bounce back from his imperfect moments — and he thinks they can help you too.
Trust is not binary, it's a gradient — and once you appreciate how it works, you can build (and maintain!) trust in smarter, more careful ways. It’s a concept called the trust battery. Today, Jason will show you how to use it — and how it can help you build better relationships, professionally and personally.
When the check comes at the end of a business dinner, who should pay? The bigger company? Does that even matter? These are the questions on our Executive Producer Morgan's mind after an awkward fumble at the end of a business dinner with a big tab. Jason gives a framework you can use to assess when you should throw your card down, and what to say if you can't.
Today's caller is fighting with her fiancé; he didn't include her in a business deal, but she feels *strongly* that he should have. Today, the caller is joined by her fiancé to explain the situation so Nicole and Jason can determine which of them is right, and how couples should handle joint opportunities.
The Paris Olympics are over, but Jason says that three surprising business lessons from viral Olympics moments live on. Today, he shares those moments with Nicole (and yes, pommel horse guy sleeping is one of them).
Listener Melissa calls the Help Line today because she's experiencing some analysis paralysis (haven't we all). Jason gives her a formula to help her determine which parts of her work she should change; plus, he shares how to failure-proof her pivot by making it into an experiment.
Today’s caller is watching his company go through a big change... and as a result, his work is feeling less meaningful. Jason and Nicole help him realize that he's been looking for a solution in all the wrong places, and give their tips on how to make your voice heard at work.

I liked the duo, but these judges suck. I'm going to have to stop listening because the "celebrity" guests are such jerks!
