I'm super excited about this episode because we're going to talk about negotiating your salary. And, who doesn't love negotiating their salary?

Here's how to target the best companies in your job search. For most, the company you work for will have a far greater impact on your overall professional growth than the individual responsibilities you perform in your particular job.

Have you ever gotten stuck on a project? Have you ever felt stuck in life? Live long enough and you’ll become stuck over and over and over again.
