Episode notes
This week’s dilemma: would you rather be the person everyone is slightly afraid of, or be so nice that people constantly walk all over you?
We spiral into work dynamics, people-pleasing, intimidating profile pictures, bad first impressions, and whether being “warm” is worth losing your voice. Somewhere between being feared and being forgotten, we try to choose a side.
