  • Summary

  • Whether it's a new technology, a virus, or social change at a tipping point, disruption creates new opportunities in the workplace and modern life, but it's not all flying cars and rainbows, change is hard. Join Trip O'Dell, Anna Codina, and Larry Cornett as they look at the evolution of the workplace from traditional offices trying to figure out how to adapt to being suddenly remote, to companies that were born as "work anyplace" teams, and how those changes impact everything from how we collaborate to how our kids go to school, and what it all means for our local communities and the global economy.

    Quotes
    “People no longer have tolerance for the old gatekeepers and the old models. It’s changing even faster than a lot of people have anticipated.” — Larry
    “Ideas to leave you with, keep growing, keep watching where the puck is going.” — Trip
    “People were talking about how this was going to kill the economy, it did for a little while, however so many people have used what was presented in front of them, grown from it, and shifted to a more online world.” — Anna

  • Episode 44: Future-Proof Your Career and Never Submit a Resume Ever Again!

    Episode 44: Future-Proof Your Career and Never Submit a Resume Ever Again!
    May 27 2021
    Would you like more leverage in your career and get more opportunities without having to knock on doors? The world is opening up and it’s apparent that when it comes to the future of work, country borders are going to be less and less relevant. With remote work, it means companies are looking for the best of the best, and they’re no longer forced to look in their own backyard or for a particular zip code. Anna talks about one of her favorite things with her two co-hosts Larry and Trip, and that’s personal brand. Learn how to structure yourself in a world that just got way more competitive.
    Key Takeaways
    Trip is three Red Bulls in and has “resting dad face.”
    We’re talking about your personal brand today and why it’s important for the future of work!
    Anna tries to explain what a personal brand is, but Trip has a face.
    The problem with the personal brand is that it’s such a buzzword. What IS IT really?
    How do you get started with your personal brand? Anna shares some quick tips.
    People often say you should start with “what you know,” but Trip believes what you know is boring! Anna disagrees.
    It depends on where you are in the personal brand journey. Are you new to this? Or are you a bit seasoned? What should you be writing about? What you know vs. what you care about? Let’s break this down.
    Trip started writing a “remote workforce” article, realized it was bigger than he could chew, and it ended up turning into a podcast.
    Larry loves to tweet thoughts out there and see what gets engagement, and then turn that into an article.
    Let’s talk about audience quality. You can talk about a wide range of topics, but make sure you’re tying them back to your core “content.”
    Women’s max career earning potential hits at 40. For men, it’s 45-50. If you’re in tech, those numbers are even more dire. Ouch! Future-proofing your career becomes way more urgent now than ever before.
    Don’t care about personal brand? Okay, we get it. But writing skills will still be more relevant than ever before! So many people are terrible at communicating over email. You’ll get an advantage if you can structure your thoughts in a consumable way.
    Trip reads a lot of cover letters and resumes, etc. Man, have a personality for once! So many people are just saying the same thing about why they’re different.

  • Episode 43: Behavioral Interviewing Hot Seat: Getting in the Minds of What Companies Are Looking for in a Candidate.

    Episode 43: Behavioral Interviewing Hot Seat: Getting in the Minds of What Companies Are Looking for in a Candidate.
    May 20 2021
    Larry, Trip, and Anna bring on two hot-seat guests to show a real-life example of how behavioral interviewing works. This is the second time they’ve run a hot-seat session. These interviews give insight into what companies are looking for when they’re conducting a behavioral interview on a candidate, and what some of these tough questions tend to look like as they interview new prospects for a role.
    Key Takeaways
    Let’s do some hot seats! Tom and Flora are our victims for today’s episode.
    Trip gives a bit of context to how these hot-seat sessions work, and why it’s important to perfect your interviewing skills.
    Flora shares her story and how she got into UX design.
    Flora shares her biggest failure.
    It can be frustrating as a young candidate because you’re often not invited to the “big table.” Trip understands both perspectives.
    If you are a UX designer, or whatever your position might be, it’s important to create relationships that go outside of your expertise or peer group.
    A little bit about Tom and his background. He’s looking to do a career shift.
    What did Tom do when he had a conflict with a peer?
    Trip debriefs and shares what both hot seat participants did well, and didn’t do well.
    Tell me about your proudest failure?
    Larry always recommends picking a few of your “hero” stories so that it’s easier to pull them up no matter what the interviewer asks.
    Rehearse your hero stories.
    The goal of a behavioral interview is to identify inconsistency or consistently negative traits.
    Sometimes you had a bad boss or a toxic employee, but the interview process is not the place to talk about it.
    No one wants the crusader that’s telling other people how they’re wrong.
