Listen "Stay Successful At Work"
Episode Synopsis
Rihanna said it best: “Work, work, work.” In this real-talk episode, Nicole and Ann Marie tackle Gen X’s #1 question: how to keep crushing it at your day job while quietly building your next chapter. You’ll hear why staying excellent at work protects your reputation (and your options), how to reframe your paycheck as “bridge funding,” smart ways to keep your side project discreet, what to check in your company policies, and why slow, iterative progress beats perfection. You don’t have to choose between stability and possibility—you can do both, on purpose. Top TakeawaysDo your job: your performance is your safety net and future pipeline. Reframe your mindset: your salary = your Series A for what’s next. Keep it on the DL: separate pages/handles, scheduling tools, separate devices. Know the rules: review non-competes, conflicts, and moonlighting policies. Build slow, iterate smart: 3–5 focused hours in micro-sprints add up.
