  • New working title: Socialism and Cheese

    I give this podcast three out of five stars. That’s five stars for Joel. One star for Chad.

    And I only give Chad one star because every once in a while - and I gotta say these moments are very few and super far in between - he will do a market analysis that’s really good and insightful.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICE, ICE Baby with Desiree Throckmorton
Q: What sort of tips do you give employers to get back on track with compliance?
Desiree emphasizes the importance of getting organized and understanding their processes to follow the rules correctly, as many employers may not even know where their I-9 forms are or if they are completed accurately.
From Hi to Hired w/ Julia Levy
Q: What are three specific tips on how to help students land an internship?
1. Be a connector, not a concierge: Add value to conversations on LinkedIn. 2. Target problems, not just postings: Understand and address the specific issues a company is facing. 3. Mine the 'no' for gold: Use rejections as learning opportunities.
From Hi to Hired w/ Julia Levy
Q: How differently are you treated when you're now Julia Levy, author, expert, a consultant versus Julia with AutoZone? Are you treated a little differently?
Not really, because most people aren't aware of her change in position and still treat her based on her prior role.
Team Intelligence w/ Jon Levy
Q: What is the role of emotional intelligence in teams?
Jon suggests that emotional intelligence is crucial for team effectiveness, and teams with more women tend to perform better due to their higher emotional intelligence.
Chicken Cock Live
Q: What are Humana's strategies for handling a flood of AI responses and applicants?
