Help Wanted

Today, Jason and Nicole tackle a question the whole internet is asking: should we be talking about politics on social media? Some argue we have a responsibility to share our beliefs, while others believe social media is not the best forum to affect change. Jason and Nicole, alongside marketing expert Aliza Licht, give you the framework to decide when and how to engage with politics on social media— and if engaging is right for you at all.

The strategy behind asking to be paid what your worth is like every Goldilocks story— you don't want to ask for too little, or too much. Today, Jason and Nicole call up entrepreneur Liz Elting to figure out the strategy to get the pricing juuuust right.Find Liz's new book here: https://lizelting.com/

You’re stuck in the hot seat. Maybe you’re giving a presentation. Or are being interviewed for a job. And someone asks you something and you think… I do not know what I’m talking about right now. Today, Jason gives you a way to speak with more confidence.

You've heard of the friend zone but have you heard of... the business zone? The place you relegate the first dates who you don't want to get busy with, but you want to do business with. Jason helps Nicole craft the perfect message to a guy she's trying to move into the business zone. Plus, Jason gives a guide to finding value from your connections—without feeling transactional.

You already know that comparison is the thief of joy. I don’t need to tell you that — and anyway, knowing it doesn’t help. So today, Jason will give you something that will help — because it’ll put this problem in a new perspective.

Jason and Nicole get a call on the Help Line from a woman who is looking at a stack of rejection letters that all sound a lot like thinly veiled ageism. Jason and Nicole phone-in age bias expert Dr. Tracey Gendron, and together, they provide resources to anyone who is facing age discrimination.

Are you waiting for something you want so badly that you can't focus on anything else? If you answered, "heck yes," Jason has an exercise that will help you get unstuck. And it involves the ocean... metaphorically.

Building a community has always been of interest for companies wanting to build their workplace culture, but now the idea of community is happening direct-to-consumer. This has got Nicole thinking: should she build a more structured community for MNN? To discover the recipe for community, Nicole and Jason call Ryan Boughan, President of PTTOW. What the heck is the PTTOW and what does it have to do with community? Jason tries to guess— and Nicole explains.

There are days when we don't accomplish everything we want to. We all have them.

And he starts with a very personal example.Want one-on-one business and money coaching from Jason or Nicole?
