Working with Gen Z is a Nightmare

In a time characterized by the prominence social media, Gen Z have been socialized significantly different from previous generations. This may be the reason for their work ethic that Chloe has struggled to work with during her team building endeavors. On the other hand Eric has had only positive experiences, but is this the exception or the rule?

I found out I got cheated on...

Cheaters sucks. Finding out you've been cheated on even after it's all over still sucksβ€” which is exactly what happened to Chloe. This leads to the conversation of how does one see multiple people? Even if you're single just trying to get to know people it can feel like you're betraying everyone involved. These things can feel even more stressful as we age and relationships get more serious. Aging can be terrifying, but it's out of our control so the only thing we can do is live our lives to the...

I met the President

So a lot has happened since we last met... like Eric met THE Biden. As you can tell it was a crazy week for Eric as he traveled across several states and met lots of people including Fred Liu and the Mr.Beast team. Meanwhile Chloe was having an emotional journey rather than a physical one. There's lots of lessons learned this week, including some great advice from Jimmy and Jaime about handling self-hatred and hiring in the creator space.

Networking as an Introvert.

β€œIt’s all about who you know.” We’re constantly told to go out there and network, to the point where we feel like we can’t miss a single event. And the million dollar question: what if you're an introvert? From our years in corporate and now the content space, we've been to our fair share of networking events and picked up a few tips along the way. This episode is a dump of the stories, the L's, and insider tips we've gathered on the art of networking. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 π™…π™Šπ™ˆπ™Š π™ƒπ™Šπ™Žπ™π™Ž πŸŽ™οΈ π—˜π—Ώπ—Άπ—° π—ͺοΏ½...

My Best Friend was a Narcissist.

Friends - everyone needs them, but why are real ones so hard to find? Spoiler alert: it doesn't get easier once you're an adult. In fact it gets even more complicated once you throw work, spouses, and everyone doing their own thing into the mix. Episode 8 is about the best and worst parts of friendship, from the toxicity and cliques to the people you meet who make all of the drama worthwhile.

Nothing we do feels like enough. It’s easy to look at someone’s accomplishments on paper and think they have it all...but Episode 7 is all about the mental tax that comes with constantly striving for that next accomplishment.

YouTube isn't worth it.

Full-time content or back to tech...what about neither? Chloe has been defining her own path, which along the way has led her to sign a huge contract with a Taiwanese ed-tech company and contemplate launching her own TV show. Similarly, Eric's involvement in both business and content has him going from VC pitch meetings to hanging out in the Sway House with some of the world's biggest influencers. What is that lifestyle like, and is it really worth it? 𝙏𝙃𝙀 π™…π™Šπ™ˆπ™Š π™ƒπ™Šπ™Žπ™π™Ž πŸŽ™οΈ π—˜π—Ώπ—Άπ—° π—ͺοΏ½...

The *truth* behind my layoff

When Chloe got laid off this year, she accidentally went viral and reached over 20m+ views online. This spawned a lot of unexpected things - from getting lots of new opportunities to being retweeted into oblivion. It was truly an atypical layoff experience, but was also the catalyst for Chloe and Eric to finally record this pod. Hope you enjoy the very first episode of JOMO with Chloe and Eric!
