    Lessons from the Trenches: Career Branding Good, Bad, and Ugly (SB1673)
    Apr 25 2025
    What do zipper injuries, holiday party mishaps, and servant leadership have in common? They’re all part of today’s wide-ranging look at careers—what to do, what not to do, and how to make your next move smarter (and safer). Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug are joined by contributors Sandy Smith, Jesse Cramer, and a few classic career stories from the SB vault. Together, they explore: The surprising power of likability in the workplace How consistency and personal branding can open big doors Why some leadership styles flop and others inspire The real-life career missteps that made us all a little wiser A closer look at the Elevate Conference, which champions financial literacy for Black women And of course, it wouldn’t be a basement episode without a trivia challenge. This time, Doug delivers a stat that’ll make every listener squirm—let’s just say it involves zippers and emergency rooms. Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, considering a leap, or just trying to avoid HR’s bad side, this episode packs in real advice and memorable stories from people who’ve been there, done that, and got the awkward email to prove it. Smart moves, cautionary tales, and Doug’s very specific warning about pants—this one's got it all.

it would be way better if they cut out the garage.

I had high hopes for this podcast, but they run their mouths about nothing important for the majority of the shows. This is a financial show that 4 minutes are finance related content. I hope the book this guy wrote is better than his podcast and not full of all the extra garbage. Drop the BS and stick to finance or change the name to "the random useless info show"

Fun lighthearted shoe

This is not a personal finance show. It's a talk show with people who may or may not know anything about personal finance having a good time.

Get ready to not learn anything. But leave with a chuckle or two.

Waste of time

I found this podcast after seeing multiple good reviews on Reddit. I picked an episode at random to listen to on my commute. The first 25 minutes were ads, a discussion about Adam West as Batman, a long talk about fire safety, a trivia question about Dave Thomas of Wendy's, and more ads. All of this before the guest and topic of the episode are mentioned at all. It was a complete waste of time.

Awesome Podcast

If you live in the world of personal finance you know that information can get repetitive. This podcast breaks up the monotony with humor and current events. Joe and OG are cutting edge. Well worth the time to listen.
