A Feel-Good Episode

Hey Besties!

We have a lot to unpack this episode. Quite literally, there was Ashley, unpacking the 14 suitcases and 5 hastily-taped boxes her family moved with from the US to Australia, when it hit her: individuals in MLMs would make amazing corporate recruiters. Think about it—they’re persistent, they network like pros, and they’re not afraid to reach out to complete strangers with enthusiasm that could power a small city. If they can sell miracle skincare to their skeptical high school classmates, imagine what they could do with your open job openings!

But enough about that - in this week’s episode:

• Intro Story: How many emails and messages Ashley received when she moved abroad the exact same week a well-known MLM was launching in Australia (reply with your best guess, the closest will win some merch!)

• Corporate Cringe Speak: A phrase that leaves you wondering—are we on a train? (For bonus laughs, listen to Jamie’s advice about how “well” this phrase works at home)

• Hot Topic - Green Flags in Employment: In the spirit of staying positive, let’s talk about some green flags in employment (these are flags we always love to fly)

• Questions & Comments: Leigh kicks us off with the meaningful moments at work that make it worthwhile. Share your favorite meaningful work moment with us. Because no pay in the world can make up for a horrible work experience (well, how much pay are we talking…)

Discussion Guide - Your podcast club or team meetings guide:

• Think outside the box: People often ask “how do I move from X career into Y?” Have you ever hired individuals for roles with different career paths? How could we be more open to individuals who bring different skills than we might originally assume?

• Green Flags: What are some green flags you look for in an employer? How can we ensure our workplace exhibits these qualities?

• Meaningful Experiences: What’s been a truly meaningful work experience with your team. How can we create those while recognizing others may not feel the same?

  Until next time, try to stay on the rails, and those green flags flying!
