Ever wish you could time-travel and give your past self career advice? Join Reggie, Dawn, Adrian, and Anthony in this raw, unfiltered episode as they revisit their chaotic first-job journeys—complete with cringe-worthy interviews, unexpected red flags, and hard-won wisdom. You’ll hear:
- Adrian (Professional CMO, Author of 'No More Bosses', and self-proclaimed "renter") on why his dream job title turned out to be a shocking bait-and-switch.
- Anthony (Retail Investor and fellow "professional renter") sharing how a traumatic first job became his ultimate career catalyst.
- Tactics to dodge employer red flags, ace interviews, and turn internships into job offers—even when the odds stack against you.
- Why networking isn’t optional (and how to do it without being "that" intern).
Real talk from Gen X to Gen Z: "Your first job isn’t permanent—it’s slavery with an exit button." "If the company’s desperate to hire you? Run." Perfect for you if:
- You’re hunting for your first job (or still traumatized by it).
- You’ve ever wondered, "How did they even get hired?!"
- You crave advice that’s 0% sugar, 100% real.
Tune in now for stories that’ll make you laugh, gasp, and rethink everything you know about "starting out."
