About this episode
Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, here's one of our favorite episodes from earlier this year.
Sooner or later, you're going to need to ask for a favor that will advance your career. We all do… but we don't all do it well. Jason and Nicole show you what works and what doesn't with real-life examples, including a pitch that led them to hire someone, and a whackadoodle pitch that definitely DIDN'T earn someone a job, and how Jason scored a favor from the one and only Michelle Pfeiffer
