In this season-finale episode of the ABA Law Student Podcast, hosts Todd Berger, Eve Albert, and Nayeli Diaz pull back the curtain on municipal law with Dave Eberle, a senior municipal law attorney at Bloom Sluggit in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dave breaks down what it truly means to represent public entities and cities, explaining why local government practice is a dynamic cross-section of corporate transactions, property law, and intense local politics.The conversation explores how to navigate the modern crisis of low institutional trust, the ongoing battle for local control against state interference, and why AI can never replace the personal, human touch required to advise elected officials through legal gray areas. Dave outlines the perfect recipe for thriving in this sector—being hungry, humble, and smart—while sharing invaluable advice on utilizing internships, clerkships, and authentic networking to build a lasting career. Whether you are a 1L researching summer coursework or a recent graduate studying for the bar, this episode offers an inspiring look at how the law can directly shape your own neighborhood.Note: This episode marks a special milestone as the team bids a fond farewell to co-host Nayeli Diaz following her recent law school graduation.

What if the pressure to find your “dream job” is actually what's keeping you stuck? In this episode of Merging Into Life, Sabrina Pierotti sits down with career coach Sam DeMase to unpack the realities of career pivots, burnout, toxic work environments, and why modern careers no longer follow a straight line. Sam DeMase explains why today's careers look more like mosaics than ladders, how Gen Z and millennials are redefining loyalty in the workplace, and why changing paths doesn't mean starting over. Together, they dive into the emotional side of career transitions, from identity loss and fear to the guilt of leaving jobs that no longer fit. Whether you're quietly questioning your current role, navigating burnout, or dreaming about something new, this conversation is a reminder that it's never too late to pivot toward a career that actually supports your life.Read Power Mood
Marina and Jemma dive into the growing crisis facing young people in Britain.With more than a million young people now classed as NEETs (not in education, employment or training), they explore why finding work has become so difficult, why endless application processes are leaving candidates exhausted and demoralised, and why many feel the social contract has broken down completely.Featuring clips from across social media and the political landscape, they discuss everything from impossible job requirements and AI-driven recruitment to housing costs, stagnant wages and the growing sense that younger generations are being asked to work harder for less.They also examine what countries like the Netherlands are doing differently, whether politicians are finally waking up to the scale of the problem, and why an entire generation increasingly feels locked out of the future.Plus: a brief detour into the never-ending Katie Price saga, an unexpectedly profound discussion about social media and loneliness, and a pudding that perfectly captures the absurdity of today's jobs market.Get your tickets for The Trawl Live from https://thetrawl.tix.to/ticketsThank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

The job hunt is a numbers game. The problem is, the numbers are brutal. Hundreds of applicants per role. Ghosted applications. "Entry level" jobs asking for experience no one at 22 could possibly have. In this episode, Rob brings on his daughter Ella, a college senior in the middle of it, and hands her something different. Not advice. Not a better resume template. A coworker that doesn't get tired, doesn't lose track, and doesn't stop digging. Within 48 hours, she's using Claude Cowork to search across sources, filter for real roles, verify listings, organize everything into a system, and adjust the criteria on the fly when the market doesn't cooperate. It's messy. It's imperfect. And it's wildly more effective than doing it alone. Watching it happen in real time makes one thing pretty obvious. This isn't about AI helping you think. It's about AI helping you work. One person scrolling and hoping. One person running a system that never stops. Listen to this episode to decide which side of that you want to be on.
I hire people and it feels like I've increased my expenses, widened my team, and yet I haven't reduced my workload or mental pressure at all. If you see people coming to you saying "what do you want me to do?" and you give them solutions, you have a buy-in problem. Half the people on your team are already looking for another gig. And it's almost never about pay.I'm joined by Dave Garrison, Chief Navigation Officer and Co-Founder of Garrison Growth, author of The Buy-In Advantage, Harvard MBA, former CEO of public and venture backed firms, and board member at organizations like Ameritrade. Dave broke down the four buy-in blockers killing team performance: purpose drift, blind tasks, lone wolf leadership, and one-way communication. We're covering why coming to your team with a fully solved problem kills initiative, the slow down to speed up principle, how the scrappy entrepreneur hat that got you here might be taking you away from the team you want, and why your best people leave when their voices aren't heard. This one humbled me. I thought I was a pretty open, vulnerable leader. I was wrong. If you have a team or you're thinking about building one, you need to hear this.Timestamps: 00:42 Meet Dave Garrison04:52 What Buy-In Means07:40 Four Things Employees Need After COVID10:32 How to Spot Low Buy-In15:06 Lead With Questions, Not Answers19:11 Slow Down to Speed Up35:58 Defining Compelling Purpose42:02 Purpose Drift Explained45:43 Lone Wolf Leadership50:14 Collective Genius DecisionsResources Mentioned: The Buy-InConnect with Dave: LinkedInWebsiteEmailTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

If you need a new blueprint for thinking about careers, Michelle says, this is the book to pick up. In this conversation with Ricky Foo, author and headhunter, she explores the uncomfortable truth: job hunting is no longer a one-off slog but requires an "always-on" mindset. Why is the traditional CV-and-apply model breaking down in an AI-filtered world?How can you approach personal branding with a “Four P” of strategy? We unpack how to stay relevant, mid-career reinvention, job scarcity at senior levels, and whether AI is shrinking opportunities - or reshaping them and our approach to getting that great next job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller still reeling from a divorce that political disagreements helped tear apart, leaving him estranged from his son and carrying a heavy, persistent emotional weight—loneliness, regret, a sense that life has narrowed. The man also describes the practical grind of job hunting made harder by age, employment gaps, and the current climate. Molyneux listens, then points out that such breaks, however brutal, can expose long-hidden truths about relationships and force real self-examination. He urges the caller not to let bitterness settle in permanently, but instead to focus on steady, honest effort—building skills, maintaining character, proving competence in small ways—because those actions compound over time and can eventually shift what now feels immovable. Above all, he holds that hope is not naive optimism here, but a reasoned position: people recover from far deeper losses, and the caller can rebuild too if he keeps his attention on what he can still control.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Patrick Carino shares how he sources ground-up multifamily deals, navigates Northeast development, and built DealNav out of his Excel frustration. The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence. In this episode, host Shanti Ryle sits down with Patrick Carino, Vice President of Development at the NRP Group, to discuss the latest trends, insights, and strategies shaping multifamily development across the Northeast. They explore Patrick's unconventional path into real estate — starting with punch lists in high school — through his years at CBRE and into his current role sourcing and executing ground-up developments across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. They also delve into Patrick's strategic approach to cold outreach and job hunting, the nuances of buying land that is subject to approvals, and what macro forces are reshaping deal economics today. Patrick also shares the origin story of DealNav, the map-based CRM he built for himself that accidentally became a product — and why he believes a human touch is still best for finding deals.

Employment scams are one of the fastest growing types of fraud. The recent surge can be traced to several post-pandemic factors that make these crimes even easier for criminals. In this episode, we will hear from a job seeker and an employer who've both been affected, as well as an expert who shares the red flags job seekers should be on the alert for.
In today's episode, I'm talking to the brilliant and straight-shooting Ruairi Spillane, who runs Moving2Canada and Outpost Recruitment. Ruairi is one of the OGs when it comes to helping newcomers move to Canada, find jobs, and settle in nicely. So he was a must-have on The Newcomers Podcast. As someone who's been recruiting local and global talent for Canada for over a decade, he's seen what works, what doesn't, and he's not afraid to tell you the difference. And he dished out dollops of that tough love on this episode. ----------Ruairi and I chat about:The red flags that tell him an immigrant is likely to struggle in the job searchThe three risks employers are evaluating you on during the interview processWhy Canadianizing your resume is about the content, not the formatHow to proactively address your immigration pathway in an interview----------Dozie's NotesA few things that struck me as I listened through this week's conversation:"I can do anything" is a red flag, not a selling point. It screams you haven't done the research. Pick one or two job titles that match your skills in Canada and build your resume around those. Spraying and praying something sticks is exhausting. Canadian employers are evaluating three risks you probably aren't addressing. Settlement risk: Will you stay? Immigration risk: Can you stay? Local experience risk: Can you adapt? Ruairi says employers in professional roles aren't hiring for six months. They're investing in training you for three to four years. If your answer to "How long will you be in Canada?" is "I have a two-year work permit, we'll see if we like it," you've just told them you're a flight risk.Refusing to adapt your resume can mean you might struggle to adapt to the role. Ruairi says it's a pattern he's seen over the last 12 years. When he suggests improvements and a candidate says "my resume is fine the way it is" or "I paid someone to edit this so I'm not changing it," he steps away. Time and time again, that response has usually meant the individual might not be exactly willing to adapt to a new way of doing things in a new country. Brutal? Right?----------Official Links✅ Connect with Ruairi Spillane on LinkedIn✅ Check out the Outpost Recruitment Jobs Board✅ Join the 170K+ strong newcomer community on Moving2CanadaOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please consider sharing it with one immigrant you know.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why Autistic and ADHD people continue to face systemic discrimination when looking for work — even in industries that quietly depend on neurodivergent talent.Responding to recent reporting on neurodivergent employment discrimination, they share personal experiences of job interviews, disclosure, workplace bullying, infantilisation, and being punished for mistakes while their strengths are ignored. Jordan and Simon question whether disclosure is ever truly safe, and explain how fear, burnout, and past trauma — not lack of ability — keep capable people out of the workforce.They unpack the double bind many neurodivergent people face: judged for being unemployed, then discriminated against again when trying to work, and highlight the irony that creative, technical, and production industries are built on neurodivergent skills, while the people providing that labour remain undervalued and excluded.They discuss:Why do autistic and ADHD people struggle to get hired despite being capable?The risks and realities of disclosing neurodivergence at workInfantilisation, stigma, and being defined by mistakesWorkplace culture, office politics, and unspoken biasHow burnout and mistreatment create a genuine fear of employmentWhy neurodivergent-friendly workplaces should be the default“Nothing about us without us” in hiring, policy, and workplace designA raw, angry, and deeply validating conversation about work, worth, and why neurodivergent people aren't locked out of employment because they can't work — but because the system refuses to change.Our Sponsors:

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Dana Gower, Vice President of Talent and Client Services at CareerPro, and co-author of Job Hunting in the AI Era, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the job hunt. Gower is also the founder of JobWorks Career Ministry and co-author of Careering. He has personally lived through three periods of unemployment, each followed by a major rebound. Dana Gower has been guiding people through some of life's toughest moments—job loss and career transition—for years. His ministry is built around a provocative reminder, as he puts it: "How to waste valuable job search time and NOT get a job!" This is not a lesson he teaches, but instead a warning he has seen too many job seekers live out. Dana's focus is on showing people a better way, including practical strategies, rooted in both human wisdom and today's AI tools, to help you move forward with confidence. In this episode, Dana shares practical insights on navigating career transitions, tapping into the hidden job market, optimizing resumes and LinkedIn profiles with AI, and—most importantly—why human connections still matter more than ever. Whether you're between jobs or planning your next move, this conversation offers powerful, practical advice for thriving in the AI era of job searching.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: When was the last time I stepped outside my comfort zone? How do I make sure I'm intentionally setting a positive example for my kids? Am I encouraging my children to take extra steps? In an era dominated by online interactions and instant applications, it's easy to think that old-fashioned manners and direct communication have become obsolete. But as this episode of The Dad Edge reveals, those little “extra” steps are exactly what set people apart—in job interviews, difficult situations, and life in general Today, Ethan Hagner recounts his journey to land a summer job—not just sending in online applications, but suiting up, showing up in person, introducing himself, and even dropping off a thank-you note after a surprise interview. As Larry points out, these simple, direct actions are the "gold" from previous generations—habits that build character and open doors Ethan Hagner also teases out how small acts of empathy and presence, learned in everyday family life, are already preparing him for bigger moments—like shadowing firefighters and helping his injured dad. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, remaining calm under pressure, and showing up wholeheartedly—in family crises, career moments, and daily interactions. As Larry puts it, “Control the controllables”—focus on what you can do, and do it with intention. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital episode, we dig into: Old-School Gold for the Next Generation: Larry reflects on the lost art of face-to-face interactions, handshakes, and eye contact, and how these “little” things are game-changers in both personal and professional life. Ethan chimes in with stories from his own journey, showing just how powerful simple, intentional actions can be. Handling Life's Dark and Difficult Moments: Ethan opens up about shadowing at the local fire department and preparing to face tough situations as a future firefighter. With honest talk about nervousness and empathy, the guys highlight how staying calm, focused, and supportive in chaos is a true superpower. Larry recounts a recent accident and how Ethan's steady approach driving him to the hospital—in the middle of nowhere, no cell signal, potholes galore—proved his grit and composure. Bringing Back Legendary Manners: There's a clear call to action here: Dads, let's teach (and model) the old-school habits that make a difference—shaking hands, making eye contact, showing up, following through, and, yes, even thank you notes. These are the moves that open doors and build relationships for life. This episode offers powerful stories, practical advice, and the reminder to always lead by example. Get ready for insights and encouragement to help you create the legacy you want for your family. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind www.1stphorm.com/products/1st-phorm-energy
Dr. Iman Abuzeid didn't set out to disrupt the healthcare hiring system.

In this episode, Dr. Abuzeid talks with host Jeff Berman about her strategic approach to expansion and how scaling allows her to have more impact — and stay true to her calling.Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
