Prior to the pandemic, we had the opportunity to travel to Jacksonville Statue University in Jacksonville, AL and talk to some members of their chapter of Delta Sigma Pi about our views on work and work culture. They had lots of great questions, we pulled out some okayish answers! We had a blast working with them, and hope to do more live speaking engagements soon.

We kick off season *two* with a write in from a teacher who went through hell and back - and not because of her students. Too often on this show we only look at corporate America; the standard 9 to 5s. With teaching being the most common profession at municipal level, we thought it was high time to shed some light on the often-political world inside the schoolhouse walls. If you or anyone you love is an educator, this is the one for you!

Now's the time to get it under control!

We've talked a lot on this show about bad and messy managers - the people in control having no control. This episode sheds light on a different, and often more-prevalent issue: crazy coworkers. Especially in the cases where those coworkers become clients - a calamity! Despite the alliteration, if you've ever dealt with a coworker with negative, erratic, or explosive behavior, this story - easily the best we've ever received - and this episode are both just for you.

Way too often we hear of people dealing with coworkers and managers with a "I don't need you" mentality. How can you deal with someone like that? Day in, day out always trying to make you believe that they're in total control and you're just there to help them, if you're lucky. We delve in and try to understand the mind of the "lone wolf" and offer resolve to working alongside them.
