First Jobs, Janitors & Roast Beef: Why Our Kids Need to Work with Christy Wright
Description
Business Coach Christy Wright and I are keeping it real (and in sweatpants) as we dive into our very worst jobs—think janitor shifts, Arby’s roast beef runs, and newspaper cubicle nightmares.
It’s a hilarious walk down the employment Hall of Shame—but beneath the laughs and low wages, there's a deeper convo: why our kids need to work.
From confidence to character (and maybe a little cash for snacks), this episode is your permission slip to raise gritty, responsible humans.
You’ve been asking for this one! And it’s everything you’d expect: raw, real and ridiculous.
LIFE HAPPENS. Let’s Talk About It.
