What's the best way to get over a thousand applicants for a job posting? You treat your employees damn right. In this incredible interview, Mei visited with Sonya Passi: Activist, CEO, and Survivor. She covered the humanizing elements that bosses are taught, how her companies are wildly successful while offering the most outstanding benefits, and the things that live rent free in her mind. You don't wanna miss this one.

Is that a thing? Maybe you've worked somewhere or for someone that thought it was obtainable. It's not though, and we covered how some unrealistic work expectations can harm the overall job performance for many of us. What is the actual goal or function of perfectionism, and why have many individuals and jobs held up its facade for so long? How does perfectionism bleed into our everyday lives as well, and what are some mediums that perpetuate that? Come find out!

As we rapidly start approaching The Holiday Season, Mei and Moe finally reunite over the pod to discuss celebrations or lack thereof in the workplace. How should workplaces celebrate difference in culture and religious practices during this season, especially for groups or individuals who's holidays and customs usually aren't given space? Also, what about days that get official government time off, but we may not understand or agree with why? Do we celebrate those too, and how does that look? All of those questions get answered on this very festive episode.

The thing we can all feel. For this super-succinct but fire-filled episode, Moe talks about coming home from her recent sabbatical, and the interactions she had that further illuminate something: work has changed for folks... like, for good. How much of this is because of the pandemic? Have people always been challenging this? Have huge amounts of people always been unhappy at work? Check this one out and hear Moe's take.

Dream Team, baby. Our 17th episode shows work related and outside of work love for our amazing leader, as well as ourselves: The employees of Moementum Inc. The Spunk (Mei) brought on The Engineer and The Glue (Cameron and Jess) to chat about being The Core of the team, the generations that each of them are a part of and how it pertains to work, how they both started working for Moe, finding meaning at work as well as the kool-aid B.S. that they learned at jobs before, and what "career" and "legacy" means personally to them.

We've probably all had moments at a job when it was assumed that we could learn and grow through means that actually don't work. An unsafe work environment, telling ourselves to "calm down!" in situations that are uber stressful, feeling like we need to understand certain skills that we haven't practiced yet, and then feeling less-than when we can't..... yeah. Know what we mean? On this electric episode, we met up with Trevor Ragan, the creator of Learner Lab. Trev and Moe did a deep dive into the science of learning, and how it correlates with work environments. Validation, the difference between knowledge and skills, sitting in discomfort when we aren't great at a skill yet, and other essential habits needed about learning in the workplace.

In this episode, Moe and her partner, Jim, highlighted early days of striving to run a business, and the personal vs. professional relationship and gender-role aspects of such. Falling in Love, making big life decisions together, fear of failure, kicking cancer's butt and the story of how both of them succeeded all fit right into this one.

All this stuff is good stuff, and we know it. That being said, does anyone else feel like striking this balance between work, rest and pleasure can be difficult? This week we are deep-diving into the science behind resting, the important distinction between hard work and over-working, and also, by the way, why it's stinkin' pivotal to be experiencing pleasure at work.

I mean, seriously though? We really really wanna know what's up with the differences in reactions, treatment and future implications of Adam Neumann and Elizabeth Holmes: both CEOs and entrepreneurs of separate companies, both made questionable decisions. The difference between them is the verdict for their decisions, and ultimately, the potential legacy and future for each of them. We also dig deep into becoming an entrepreneur, the importance of investing in small businesses, DaVinci (yep) as well as other influential entrepreneurs, and businesses that we love and wanted to plug.

Building a strong and meaningful connection at work can sometimes be more difficult than we expect. With employees maxed out and many companies experiencing a lack of connection, how can bosses and employers successfully reach out to staff and help them feel seen and heard? That being said, achieving connection in your workplace requires consistent vulnerability, and is pivotal in the overall culture. On today's episode, Moe and Mei chatted about workplace connection as it pertains to what connecting to others might look like remotely versus in-person, connecting with introverts and extroverts, doing repair work and apologizing to co workers, and so much more.
