A tough week for Ross at home, a lesson in delegation, getting the buy-in you need to do your !@£*@! job, and a virtual meeting hack to get documented approval: the selfie sticker! Each episode, long-distance pals Ross & Dana talk about life, industry, tools & learning as they navigate parallel careers—one in-house at an agency and one self-employed—and their lives as parents, partners, and ambitious go-getters who always find something in the way.
Dana runs an agency that builds human-centered sales strategies for B2Bs. Ross is the head of design at Odobo.
Broken bones & found bones—how Dana's photography career took a hit and a little something different for our 13th episode, on the eve of Halloween: a 100% true scary story (followed by a 10% true story told with much less flair). We also talk about how you can claim to be one thing and how to easily pivot—seriously, no one cares—and how to grow into your role at work.

Can Ross pull off a brand sprint with only 5 minutes of prep? Also, why is he so boring and grownup now? We get real about anxiety and how we structure our work around it. Our tool this episode is Otter—and it’s making Dana’s sales calls even better. We talk about early grunt work in agencies and internships (jobs that have been replaced by AI), and Dana confesses her celebrity crush—don’t judge!

2.3 Million Women have been forced to leave their jobs. What will this mean for the future of society? An emotional and candid discussion about the pandemic’s impact on women & their roles in the workplace. Ross has a big announcement, we (still) hate Value Ladders & MLMs (with a reluctant admission this time). Our Tool Talk segment is on Loom, our favorite asynchronous collaboration tool.

Are you making this rookie consultant move? It’s clickbait but it’s true. We also ponder the “new Y2K”: are our data structures outdated for gender and other criteria? Our tool this episode is Butter, the new virtual meeting tool on the block and fave of facilitators everywhere. Also—why can’t we just be happy with the status quo?

It’s May 4th and apparently that’s a Star Wars reference? We get candid and transparent about consultant life. The tool of the week is Canva and we talk use cases, cost and speculate on who might acquire it. We also discuss new ways to address CTAs (like Book a Call) and re-imagining the sales & client experience. Also—is Dana “playing small”?

Should we be talking about our salaries? We scratch the surface on gender pay inequality and Dana shares her no-fail hack to help women get paid. The debut of a new segment (tool tips!) means we dive into one we love to hate: Notion. Plus, mission-driven companies IRL: we call BS.
