Podcasts about career advice

Today we're joined by career coach, recruiter, content creator, public speaker and author Emily Durham for a conversation every parent of a teen or young adult needs to hear. Emily's longtime expertise in hiring and recruitment has made her a trusted voice on modern hiring, Gen Z careers, and the evolving world of work. We get into the reality of today's job market, why getting hired feels harder than ever, and what skills actually matter in a world where AI is changing everything. Emily breaks down why empathy, decision-making, leadership, and communication may be more valuable than technical skill, how teens can stand out in a crowded job market, and why old-school tactics like walking in with a resume might be making a comeback. We also talk about Gen Z's relationship with work, why they're not as lazy as people think, and how parents can guide their kids without turning every conversation into a lecture.For more from Emily, follow her on Instagram at @emily.the.recruiter.

Networking gets a bad reputation. And honestly? It's earned it.For most people, the word conjures images of awkward small talk, business cards nobody keeps, and conversations that feel more like auditions than actual human connection. It feels transactional. It feels fake. And for a lot of women, especially, it feels like a game they were never taught how to play.But what if the problem isn't networking itself — it's the way we've been taught to think about it?On the 2B Bolder Podcast, host Mary Killelea sits down with Monique Kelley — professor, consultant, and author of Redefining Networking: How to Lead with Your Unique Value, an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Business Ethics — to completely reframe what networking is, what it isn't, and why getting it right might be the single most important career move you make.Monique is a two-time PRNEWS Top Women in PR award recipient, a founding member of CHIEF, and has been featured in FOX and Fast Company. She's built a career working with some of the biggest names in biopharma — Pfizer, Roche, Lilly, Johnson & Johnson — not by chasing opportunities, but by building meaningful relationships that opened doors long after the conversation ended. Today she teaches the only Career Readiness course at Boston University's College of Communication, shaping how the next generation of professionals show up, connect, and lead.This conversation covers it all — her career journey from a pre-med detour into communications and healthcare PR, the moment she stepped in to present to a major client when her boss was out and realized that relationships matter just as much as the deck, and the pivots that took her from agency life to in-house roles to fractional consulting and eventually the classroom.Mary and Monique dig into the real stuff:What most people fundamentally get wrong about networking — and why that misunderstanding is costing them real opportunitiesWhat "leading with your value" actually means in practice, not just as a concept but as a daily behaviorA clear, three-step framework for defining your unique value, choosing the right audience, and showing up consistently — on LinkedIn and beyondWhy your network isn't a list of contacts. It's a living system of people who understand what you bring and actively want to advocate for youHow to build a network from scratch when you feel like you have nothing to offer and nowhere to startWhy remote work and meeting overload are making organic connection harder than ever — and what to do about itThe truth about "I don't have time to network" (spoiler: it's a prioritization issue, not a time issue)What Monique is seeing right now across executives, students, and mid-career professionals — and the specific behaviors she notices in women who are actually building momentumWhat she teaches her Career Readiness students at BU that experienced professionals desperately need to hearAnd the one thing she wishes she had understood earlier about building a career that lastsWhether you're in the middle of a career transition, feeling stuck in a role that no longer fits, or just dreading the next industry event — this episode will completely shift how you think about connection, value, and what it actually means to build a career on your own terms.

Getting laid off is one of those life events that can really throw you for a loop. It can leave you feeling blindsided, stressed, and wondering what you're supposed to do next. In this episode of Grown Up Stuff: How to Adult, Matt and Lea sit down with employment attorney Paige Sparks to answer all the questions that start racing through your head after a job loss: Do I get severance? Can I collect unemployment? What happens to my health insurance? And how do I know if my employer crossed a legal line? Paige walks us through the practical stuff every adult should know, including severance agreements, COBRA, unemployment benefits, PTO payouts, and what to do with your 401(k). We also talk about the emotional side of being laid off: how to deal with the shock, avoid spiraling, stay motivated during a job search, and talk about your layoff in future interviews without feeling awkward or ashamed. Whether you've just been laid off, you're worried it could happen, or you simply want to be prepared for one of life's less-fun surprises, this episode is packed with straightforward advice to help you protect yourself, make a plan, and move forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Follow your passion." Sounds inspiring, right? Wrong. Jac and Ral reckon this might be the worst career advice and they're not sorry about it. In this episode, they unpack why passion is wildly overrated as a career compass, what mastery has to do with it, and tackle the two big questions: What's the difference between loving your job and being passionate about it? What happens when you turn your passion into your job and then hate it? Find out why following your talent is smarter, why it makes sense to put the hours in, and like what you do and keep the passion for… other things----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon.https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreonNew Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

Should UK financial planners be looking at the international advice market? Andreas Hollas has spent 13 years in Dubai building expertise that has no textbook, and the career it's given him is unlike anything available in the UK.In this episode of Financial Planner Life, Sam sits down with Andreas Hollas, chartered financial planner and technical advice director at Titan Wealth International, to explore what international financial planning actually looks like, the clients, the cases, the complexity, and the career opportunity most UK advisers don't even know exists.Andreas came straight out of university into financial services, built the largest client book at HHR, and now supports 80 advisers across Titan Wealth International with the most complex cross-border cases in the business. His clients span from the Dominican Republic to the Republic of Korea. His cases have no rulebook. His answers come entirely from experience.The result? A career at the front edge of a growing market that is desperately short of advisers genuinely equipped to serve it.If you're a UK financial planner curious about the international space, already working overseas and wondering what's next, or simply looking for a career path that rewards deep specialisation, then this is the episode for you.What we cover in this episode:What international financial planning actually means and who the clients really areWhy cross-border advice has no textbook and why that's the entire opportunityHow Andreas built the largest client book in his firm without being the busiest adviserThe supply and demand gap in the international market and what it means for career progressionWhat the One Titan philosophy means in practice for globally mobile clientsThe two routes into Titan Wealth International for UK advisers considering the moveWhy moving internationally doesn't mean losing your existing UK client relationshipsWhat the Denmark/Dubai case study reveals about what 13 years of experience actually buys youHow Titan Wealth's Next Generation Leaders programme is developing the next generation of international advisersWhy the international market rewards specialisation faster than almost anywhere in the UK profession

What if burnout isn't always caused by working too much? I've been falling back into burnout lately, and a lot of people around me have been struggling with it too. So in this throwback episode, we're exploring a lesser-known cause of burnout that rarely gets discussed: a lack of meaning, purpose, connection, engagement, and fulfillment. Most burnout advice focuses on reducing stress, taking breaks, and improving work-life balance... but tons of people are still experiencing chronic fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and low motivation even after taking a break and getting more rest. That's because burnout isn't always about overwork. Sometimes it's about undernourishment. Enter "boreout": the exhaustion that comes from chronic disengagement, lack of purpose, misalignment with your values, and not having enough meaningful experiences, relationships, creativity, or excitement in your life. Tune in to hear about: • The other cause of burnout that most people overlook • Why burnout isn't always caused by stress, overwork, or long hours • How a lack of meaning, purpose, and engagement can create chronic exhaustion • The connection between values misalignment and burnout symptoms • How technology, overstimulation, and constant productivity impact mental health • Why rest alone doesn't always fix burnout • Practical ways to create more energy, joy, creativity, purpose, and fulfillment • How to recover from burnout by building a life that energizes you Sometimes the answer isn't doing less... it's reconnecting with what makes you feel alive.   For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

We've been taught that adulthood doesn't really begin for women until we've found a husband and had a baby. Jessica Cruel is here to push back on that — and she has the research to back it up.This week, Aisha sits down with Jessica Cruel, Editor-in-Chief of Allure magazine and the author of the forthcoming book Single Happy Female, for an honest, layered conversation about what it actually looks like to build a full life without waiting on partnership to start living it.Jessica is clear: she still wants partnership. So do 48 of the 50 women she interviewed for her book. But the difference is that she's no longer treating singleness as a holding pattern. She's traveling, throwing herself promotion parties, picking out the white dress for her 40th in Greece — and writing the book she wishes she'd had ten years ago.They get into the loneliness of being the boss (and what nobody tells you about reaching the top of your industry), Jessica's openness about therapy and Lexapro after years of watching her mother navigate bipolar disorder, the “twirlers vs. toilers” framework Jessica uses to describe how women rise in their careers, the unspoken hardship hierarchy among friend groups, and the radical act of throwing the damn party for yourself even when there's no wedding or baby shower to attend.If you've been quietly waiting on a milestone to start living the life you want, this conversation is for you.

Jimmy Wales on Wikipedia, Trust, and AI's Disruptive Future This week's guest, Jimmy Wales, discusses how Wikipedia grew from an experimental, volunteer-edited side project spun out of the failed top-down Nupedia, from early “Hello, world” days and primitive accounts to organic traffic and press, and now a nonprofit with about 650 staff supporting tech, operations, fundraising, legal, and trust-and-safety while volunteers govern content. Jimmy explains why he wrote a book on trust amid documented declines in trust in institutions, contrasting Wikipedia's imperfect but “honest” reputation and open editing model, and argues trust fundamentals are timeless, advising young workers to build trust through reliability and teamwork while rejecting toxic workplaces. We also cover Change My View's collaborative culture, rising wealth inequality and risks of regulatory capture, concerns about misguided regulation like the UK Online Safety Act, AI's varied benefits and copyright-policy dangers, looming job disruption (truckers, junior lawyers) and potential unrest, and how Jimmy experiments with agentic AI projects and practical automation while emphasising knowledge, history, and adaptability.

In this episode, I'm joined by Max, co-founder of Superpower, a longevity and preventive health company based in San Francisco. Max shares his unconventional journey from a curious, entrepreneurial kid in Sydney to building one of health tech's most ambitious startups — all without a clinical background. He offers a refreshingly direct perspective on why clinicians are uniquely positioned to drive change in healthcare, why sunk cost is a trap, and why the best time to make your move is now. If you're a healthcare professional thinking about stepping into health tech, this episode will challenge the way you think about your career.Quotes:"Health professionals are some of the best placed to actually create change in health." - Max"Servicing a system allows you to impact maybe a few hundred or thousand people. Building a system ideally gets to the millions over time." - Max"The fastest path between A and Z is not to go through B, C, D — just do the thing." - Max"Being willing to be dumb is almost a prerequisite to being smart." - Max"If you're trying to do something in a new way, it's very hard to do that from the model of thinking that created the existing way." - MaxShow Notes:Why clinicians have an unfair advantage when building in health techHow to stop letting sunk cost hold you back from a career pivotThe difference between servicing the healthcare system and building itWhy the "one day I'll do this" mindset is keeping you stuckHow an outsider perspective can be the most powerful tool for reinventing healthcareLinks: https://www.matchday.health/ https://superpower.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmarchione/

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. "Women should not have to abandon themselves in order to be successful." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: If you've been wondering why your next career decision feels so difficult despite being successful, you'll hear a different explanation for what's really going on beneath the surface. You'll learn why making decisions based only on logic, responsibility, or what looks good on paper can leave you feeling disconnected, even when everything appears successful from the outside. You'll get an inside look at the thinking behind the PurposeMAKER framework and discover why identity, alignment, and self-trust are at the heart of making clear decisions at a career crossroads. I am a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, framework, and platform, helping high-achieving women close the gap between success and fulfillment so they can create lives and careers that feel meaningful and aligned.

We're taught that if we put in the work and the talent is there, the opportunities will come. Ashley is here to tell us about the other half of that equation — the one most people aren't honest enough to name.This week, Aisha sits down with her dear friend, sorority sister, and Howard alum Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins—actress (Dear White People), former host of OWN's Trials to Triumphs, and soon-to-be author—for an honest conversation about access, the doors that opened her career, and why she's so committed to opening those same doors for the women coming behind her.Ashley is clear: the work matters. Her talent is what's allowed her to play the long game and sustain a career that lasts. But she also names something most successful people won't: that there's a locked door between most talented people and the careers they're capable of building—and that door doesn't open without someone on the other side knowing your name. They get into the friendship that landed her the Dear White People role, the Instagram Live moment that turned into her OWN podcast, the intensity of mothering her 20-month-old daughter Aspen, her IVF journey and why visibility matters for Black women navigating the same path, and the 365-devotional book she's quietly writing for the woman who wants to spot her blessings and become her best self.If you've been doing the work and wondering why the opportunities haven't come yet, this is the conversation for you.

Your career doesn't grow in isolation, and neither does your confidence. When we feel overlooked, stuck, or burned out, we often blame skills, strategy, or a lack of a personal brand. But what if the real lever is connection and community and the quality of the relationships around us?On episode #158 of the 2B Bolder podcast, I sat down with Dr. Tracy Brower, a sociologist, author, and the VP for Workplace Insights at Steelcase, and got practical about what makes work and life feel meaningful. We talked about why sometimes the  “work is a grind” narrative misses something human and important: we all have an instinct to matter, and work is one of the biggest places we're seen, supported, and shaped. Tracy breaks down the modern pattern of having more connections but fewer fulfilling relationships, plus how distraction, social media, and post-COVID habits can leave us with shallow “empty calorie” interactions.We also get tactical about networking for women in business and tech without the icky, transactional vibe. Tracy shares how giving can be asynchronous, why you should build your network before you need it, and how to walk into coffee chats with less pressure by focusing on learning. If visibility is your challenge, she offers a clear framework for the kinds of people you need around you: advocates, honest challengers, and safe-harbor colleagues. You'll also hear memorable data points from her latest book, Critical Connections, including how long it really takes to make a friend and why diverse relationships boost joy and fulfillment.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more women can build careers with stronger connection and real belonging.Resources:tracybrower.com Connect with Tracy on LinkedIn Order Critical Connections Here

Very few are told how to actually do it properly.In this episode of the Market Maker Podcast, Anthony Cheung sits down with corporate finance analyst Liam Edward Proctor to break down how students can build relationships, stand out in applications and navigate finance careers without coming from a traditional background.Liam shares how he went from a non-target university into corporate finance, common networking mistakes students make, how to approach coffee chats, LinkedIn strategies that actually work and why commercial awareness matters more than ever in today's graduate market.The conversation also explores rejection, imposter syndrome and how students can create opportunities beyond simply submitting online applications.If you're applying for internships, spring weeks or graduate roles in finance, this episode is packed with practical advice you can apply immediately.(00:00) Liam's Finance Journey(01:59) Do You Need Internships?(04:33) What vs Who You Know(06:48) Coffee Chat Preparation(08:34) Building Commercial Awareness(13:29) Leveraging LinkedIn & Imposter Syndrome(16:55) Meeting Howard Marks(22:00) Handling Rejection(26:39) Non-Target University Advice(30:08) Networking Follow-Up Tips

The average career is 80,000 hours long. With AI advancing so rapidly, the hours you have left in your career matter more than ever.Some leading AI researchers think there's a 10% chance that AI systems begin automating AI research itself this year — and a 60% chance by the end of 2028. This could introduce aggressive feedback loops that completely reshape every industry, institution, and career.If these predictions are right, the window for influencing the direction of the future could be closing fast. As 80,000 Hours cofounder Benjamin Todd argues in his new book, that makes thinking carefully about your career more important than ever.Fortunately, there are lots of ways to use your career to make the AI transition go well.In today's conversation with host Zershaaneh Qureshi, Ben lays out three scenarios — from AGI by 2029 to a decades-long plateau in AI progress — and explains why not everyone needs to bet on the shortest timeline. A fresh graduate and a senior government official have wildly different leverage, so timing your impact well means weighing where you are in your career against the urgency of the risks.Ben also addresses the obvious anxieties:Will AI come for all the jobs he's recommending?What's the point in following his advice if the job market is about to collapse?Which skills are actually worth building right now?His new book, 80,000 Hours: How to Have a Fulfilling Career That Does Good, provides a surprisingly concrete framework for making career decisions in these radically uncertain times.This episode was recorded on May 7, 2026.Learn more and read the full transcript: https://80k.info/bt26We're hiring: we have lots of open roles at 80,000 Hours — across advising, web, video, and ops — check them out and apply on our website.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Benjamin Todd on AI-era career advice (00:01:34)A deadline for your career plan?

Change management in manufacturing breaks down at the people layer, not the technology layer. This episode explains how engineering leaders actually drive adoption.Ronald Sherrod is a Staff Automation Engineer at Regeneron deploying a global event based architecture and Unified Namespace rollout across pharmaceutical operations. Ron, Vlad Romanov, and Dave Griffith dig into the parts of change management that rarely make it onto vendor decks. Subscribe to Manufacturing Hub for weekly conversations with industrial automation practitioners.Want to go deeper? Vlad and the team at Joltek have covered related topics here:Digital Transformation in Manufacturing: https://www.joltek.com/blog/digital-transformation-in-manufacturingMastering the Unified Namespace for Manufacturing: https://www.joltek.com/blog/mastering-unified-namespace-uns-a-guide-to-data-driven-manufacturing-transformationRon makes a point that is rarely stated this directly. The organization implementing the change is the one responsible for it. OEMs and system integrators deliver the box. Consultants help interpret it. Auditors do not call the machine builder when something goes wrong on the floor of a regulated pharmaceutical plant. They walk into the manufacturer and ask whether the audit trails hold up, whether the predicate rule was met, and whether the product is safe for patients. That responsibility cannot be outsourced, even when the technical work is.That framing changes how engineering managers should think about RFP scope. If the scope is loose, the integrator absorbs the risk and prices accordingly. If the scope is rigorous, bids come back tight and comparable. Negotiating power changes with the size of the buyer. A large pharmaceutical company can dictate hypercare windows, on site commissioning support, and structured training. A small to mid sized manufacturer often cannot, and the result is the metaphorical Ferrari on the plant floor that only ever gets used for grocery runs. Capital was deployed. The technology works. The operation never adopted it.The episode also goes deep on tribal knowledge and the industrial elder, the technical anchor who carries the institutional history of a unit or process and is often more valuable than the Excel file on a network drive. Senior operators know why a pipe was rerouted fifteen years ago and why a procedure looks irrational on paper but works perfectly in practice. With 59 percent of frontline skilled workers over 55 planning to retire within five years per the Schneider Electric 2024 workforce survey, capturing that knowledge is now a leadership priority, not an engineering task.On planning, Ron walks through how he runs user story workshops with operators, manufacturing leaders, engineers, and developers in the same room, producing a shared data contract that defines what information moves where, who needs it, and why. He cites a successful SCADA deployment that worked because the organization had inertia, operators had asked for the problem to be solved, and the team was closing a real gap rather than chasing a trend.Ronald Sherrod is a Staff Automation Engineer at Regeneron, a chemical engineer by training who moved from oil and gas into pharma and now works on event driven architecture, UNS, and robotics initiatives.

Dr. Sook-Bin Woo on Adventure, Mentorship, and High Standards in Oral PathologyChristine interviews Dr. Sook-Bin Woo, DMD, an expert in oral and maxillofacial pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, about her career, training, and life lessons. Woo shares a formative post–dental school adventure climbing Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia and a dangerous trip across Borneo, and describes later solo travel to Turkey.

Expectations are being shaped by a tough job market with high unemployment, high cost of living and the threat of artificial intelligence disrupting what previously might have been exciting entry-level opportunities. Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," we will talk with two new graduates about their hopes, dreams and concerns for this next chapter in life. We also talk with with people who have spent some time out in the workforce, who can share insight and perspective that is hard-earned out in the real world. Guests: - Ivory Kendrick, College Graduate, Kent State University - David Margolius, M.D., Director of Public Health, City of Cleveland - Sophie Frissore, High School Graduate, Aurora High School - Jessica Tracy, Music Therapist, Cleveland Clinic Children's - Cecilia Conrad, Ph.D., Founder, Lever for Change

In this special edition of Trending in Education, former colleagues reunite as Mike Palmer interviews Lorin Thomas-Tavel, the CEO of BrainPOP. We explore the evolution of a major brand in EdTech and discuss how it continues to simplify complex topics for students and teachers alike. We dive into the 27-year history of BrainPOP, which began when a doctor created animated content to help young patients understand their own bodies. Today, the platform serves as a trusted companion for teachers in K-8 classrooms, focusing on sense-making during complicated times. We discuss the unique parasocial bond children and adults share with iconic characters like Tim and Moby, and why human-led storytelling continues to power the magic of the product. We also celebrate AI Literacy Day by talking about BrainPOP's work on AI literacy. Lorin explains how they partnered with Digital Promise to adopt a rigorous framework that focuses on understanding, evaluating, and using AI. We discuss why AI is an additive tool rather than a replacement for the human teacher in the classroom. The conversation touches on BrainPOP's partnership with Kirkbi, the private holding and investment arm of LEGO, and how this collaboration energizes their mission of digital play and impact. Lorin also shares leadership insights on "even over" prioritization, the 10x power of cultural fit, and her recognition as an honoree with the Power of Women at the ASU+GSV conference.

A graduation-season episode turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about careers in the age of AI, anchored by a New York Times article from Jodi Kantor. Don and Tom explore the idea that successful careers are built not by chasing trends, but by developing a personal “craft” and aligning it with real-world need. They connect that concept to investing discipline—ignore noise, focus on what you can control—and emphasize experimentation early in life. The back half pivots to listener questions, where Don dismantles buffered ETFs as overly complex, critiques commission-laden annuity practices masquerading as fiduciary advice, clarifies Social Security spousal benefits, and takes apart the flawed comparison between low-cost index bond funds and leveraged, high-fee active products like the PIMCO Income Fund.
