Whether workers are quitting or being laid off or fired tells us a lot about worker power. @aaronsojourner joins the show to talk about the #laborleverageratio that measures this difference. And if you’re wondering, yes there will be airhorn.

As a candidate, Joe Biden promised to make climate change a priority. But as president, he’s seemed friendly to oil and gas. What gives?.

The world of influencing reproduces and amplifies a lotta IRL dynamics. From sneaky contracts to discrimination, the industry’s dark underbelly.

Bonus points if you start the voice memo with “It’s not me, it’s you…” or “It’s not you…it’s me”.

Lots of people are changing jobs – but was it your choice or your employer’s? Did you quit or were you laid off or fired? Help us with an unscientific poll to measure worker power! ⬇️.

We all want to do what we love with no boss, right? Today, how a generation grew up believing they could make that dream a reality through ~influencing~. It’s the 3rd of our 5 part series on the influencer industry, with @liahaberman & @jalynbaiden.

A few thousand followers ain’t gonna cut it if you want to make a full-time living as an influencer.
