How to turn curiosity, clarity, and AI into your most powerful job search tools.Job search isn't just about landing your next role—it's about understanding who you are and how you want to show up in the world. According to Andrew Seaman, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn, that process begins with curiosity, not certainty. “People assume they need to apply to dozens of jobs with a perfect résumé,” he explains. “But the best applications are rooted in self-awareness and strategy—not spray-and-pray.”Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, Seaman encourages job seekers to slow down, ask better questions, and prioritize conversations over checklists. From informational interviews to profile updates, clarity is key—knowing what you want and telling a story that shows why you're the right fit.With tools like LinkedIn's Job Match and natural-language job search, candidates can now assess how they align with a role—and where they can grow. “It's not just about being qualified,” Seaman says. “It's about showing the value you bring.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seaman joins host Matt Abrahams for our Catalyze Your Career miniseries to share how to job search with intention. Using Matt's “Four I's” framework—identifying, investigating, initiating contact, and interviewing—they explore how strategic storytelling, thoughtful networking, and AI tools can help you stand out in a crowded market.Episode Reference Links:Andrew SeamanEp.184 Fit or Quit?

Episode Title: Breaking the Chains of Workplace Toxicity Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Kaitlyn Rios Episode Summary: In this empowering episode, Kaitlyn Rios, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board-Certified Wound Specialist, VP of Clinical Business Development, and founder of Faced with Grace, joins the podcast to tackle the difficult yet critical topic of workplace toxicity. Kaitlyn and the host explore how toxicity can range from obvious bullying to subtle microaggressions, and how these behaviors, when left unaddressed, lead to burnout and emotional harm. Through personal stories and professional insights, Kaitlyn outlines a three-step process for breaking the chains of toxicity: recognizing and naming it, assessing if it can change, and modeling positive leadership if staying. She shares her nonprofit's mission to mentor and empower women navigating toxic work environments and introduces the PEARL Leadership framework: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy, as a path to healthier, more sustainable leadership. Listeners will walk away with practical tools, emotional validation, and renewed confidence to prioritize self-care, speak up, and either influence change or make the brave choice to walk away. This episode is a must for anyone facing challenges in their professional environment You'll learn: What Workplace Toxicity Really Looks Like Understand how toxic environments can range from blatant abuse to subtle microaggressions, and why both are equally harmful. How to Recognize and Respond to Toxic Work Culture Learn Kaitlyn's three-step method for identifying toxicity, evaluating your options, and taking courageous action. Why Burnout Isn't a Badge of Honor Explore the dangers of glorifying burnout and discover the importance of pausing, reflecting, and choosing sustainability over hustle. The Power of Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence See how tuning into your emotions and boundaries can protect your wellbeing and guide better decisions at work. How to Lead Without a Title Discover how influence, not position, shapes culture, and how you can model healthy leadership wherever you are. Kaitlyn's PEARL Framework for Healthy Leadership Learn how Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy can transform both your leadership style and your workplace. Why Naming the Problem is the First Step to Healing Break the silence: find out why calling out toxicity is key to dismantling it and creating space for real change. How to Empower Yourself and Others Through Mentorship Hear how Kaitlyn's nonprofit Faced with Grace supports women in navigating or escaping toxic environments with courage and grace. Memorable Quotes: "Toxicity thrives in silence, naming it is the first step toward freedom." "You don't need a title to lead. True leadership starts with how you show up every day." "Burnout isn't a weakness, it's a signal. Listen, pause, and realign with your purpose." "Your peace is worth more than any paycheck. Sometimes the bravest move is walking away." "Resilient leadership isn't about being tough, it's about knowing your limits and leading with grace." Resources & Mentions: Nonprofit Organization: Faced with Grace – Empowering women to rise above workplace toxicity through mentorship, education, and community. Leadership Framework: PEARL Leadership – Kaitlyn's model for healthy, sustainable leadership: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, Legacy Professional Titles: Doctor of Physical Therapy | Board-Certified Wound Specialist | VP of Clinical Business Development Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Identify the Source of Toxicity Take a moment to reflect on your current work environment. Ask yourself: “Is the stress I'm feeling caused by a person, a team, or the overall culture?” Write down 2-3 recurring behaviors or patterns that negatively impact your well-being. 2. Speak Up or Step Away If you feel safe, report the issue to HR or a trusted leader. If not, start planning an exit strategy that protects your peace and future growth. Remember: leaving a toxic environment is an act of strength, not failure. 3. Model Healthy Leadership (Even Without a Title) Lead by example. Practice Kaitlyn's PEARL values: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy. Start by choosing one to focus on in your interactions this week. 4. Create a “Pause Plan” to Avoid Burnout Schedule time daily or weekly to step back and reflect. Ask: “What drains me? What energizes me?” Use these insights to adjust your workload, set boundaries, or seek support. 5. Join a Support Network or Mentorship Program Seek out or create a safe space (like a women's leadership group or peer support circle). Consider getting involved with organizations like Faced with Grace to connect with others navigating similar challenges. 6. Rewrite Your Workplace Story Visualize a healthier, purpose-driven work life. Write down: “I'm so grateful I now work in a place where I feel respected, supported, and valued.” Act in alignment with that version of your future self, whether it's through learning, networking, or setting new boundaries. Final Thought: You deserve a workplace that uplifts you, not drains you. Healing begins the moment you name what's hurting and take steps to protect your peace. Leadership isn't just about changing others, it starts with choosing yourself. Whether you stay, speak up, or walk away, your courage creates space for transformation. The time to reclaim your voice is now. What listeners have to say: Kaitlyn Rios' episode has been a wake-up call for professionals across industries, employees, leaders, and change-makers alike. Monica D., a healthcare administrator, shared how naming the toxic behaviors on her team gave her the clarity to start difficult (but necessary) conversations with leadership. Andre M., a tech team lead, said Kaitlyn's PEARL framework helped him shift his leadership style from reactive to resilient, improving both morale and performance on his team. Lisa K., a burned-out marketing executive, finally gave herself permission to leave a toxic role after hearing Kaitlyn's reminder: “Your peace is worth more than any paycheck.” These breakthroughs remind us that healing, growth, and positive change are possible, especially when courage meets clarity.

Laurel Orley is the founder and CEO of Daily Crunch Snacks and a mission-driven entrepreneur with a background in advertising. After more than a decade building major brands like Dove at Unilever, she transitioned to launch her own company focused on health, flavor, and impact.Daily Crunch Snacks is a women-owned snack brand offering sprouted, air-dried almonds and other nut blends with bold, innovative flavors. Rooted in a family recipe and a mission to support mental health, the brand emphasizes clean ingredients, sustainability, and crave-worthy crunch.Laurel launched Daily Crunch with her aunt Diane, who developed the unique sprouting process after studying brain health in India.The brand debuted in March 2020—days before the COVID-19 shutdown—and adapted its launch strategy for a digital-first world.Daily Crunch has since expanded into 6,000+ stores and was named the 13th fastest-growing food and beverage company by Inc.Laurel is a board member of the Upcycled Food Association and a member of EY's Entrepreneurial Winning Women Class of 2024.The brand's mental health mission is personal: Laurel's cousin lost his life to bipolar disorder, inspiring her family to create The Support Network, which Daily Crunch supports financially and publicly.Laurel's experience on Dove's Real Beauty campaign taught her the power of mission-driven marketing and authenticity.The sprouting process transforms the texture of almonds, making them crisp and chip-like while improving digestibility.Product innovation stems from a blend of trend reports, consumer feedback, and Laurel's own flavor instincts—like turmeric & sea salt or Nashville Hot.Collaborations, like their Fly By Jing partnership, are a strategic focus for driving awareness and reaching new audiences.Upcycling ingredients—such as pickle ends from Cleveland Kitchen—helps reduce waste and differentiate flavor profiles.Daily Crunch doesn't lead with its mission, but invites consumers to discover its mental health advocacy as they dig deeper into the brand. QUOTES “I wanted to launch a brand with a mission that I believed in. Our mission is actually mental health awareness.” (Laurel)“Soaking nuts removes phytic acid, an anti-nutrient, making them more bioavailable, easier to digest and more nutrient dense.” (Laurel)“The crunch is what gets people in. It's lighter, airier, crunchier. Honestly, it's like a chip.” (Laurel)“You're always going to have setbacks. My motto is always two steps forward, one step back.” (Laurel)“We had to throw out 20,000 pounds of almonds and I didn't have the right insurance for it. I almost threw in the towel.” (Laurel)“There's a fine balance between mental and physical health. It all ladders back up to brain health.” (Laurel)“When you see someone in the wild buying your product, it's the best feeling. I was hiding behind a pillar at the airport.” (Laurel)“The savory-sweet combo is really resonating right now. Our last two launches were savory, but you can definitely do both.” (Laurel)

In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun are back—caffeinated, opinionated, and tackling everything from accessibility to identity. Kicking things off, Steven shares how his Apple Watch health alerts, though sometimes dismissed by doctors, played a crucial role in keeping his health in check. They explore how smartwatches—despite not being medical-grade—offer critical health insights and peace of mind.The discussion moves from tech to identity, challenging the notion of “blind pride” and debating whether it's fair—or even helpful—to claim that being blind is a “blessing.” The hosts share their personal perspectives on disability acceptance, the emotional highs and lows of navigating blindness, and why one-size-fits-all narratives don't work.Listener emails round out the show, including a powerful question from a listener new to vision loss: iPhone or Android—which smartphone is better for accessibility? Steven and Shaun offer a thorough comparison of TalkBack and VoiceOver, app ecosystems, device pricing, and community support. Other listeners share thoughts on cane tips, orientation techniques, accessible recipe apps, and even whether swearing smart assistants signal progress or gimmick.It's a lively, honest, and often hilarious episode with valuable insight for anyone navigating life with vision loss or supporting someone who is.Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.
