Trying Hard Is Embarrassing. Do It Anyway.

Trying Hard Is Embarrassing. Do It Anyway.

Work is full of strange little humiliations: trying too hard, caring too much, asking for what you want, or realizing you’ve accidentally become the person who always pours the metaphorical water. Today, Laura Mayer, author of Tryhard: A Cautionary Tale of Clocking In and Spinning Out, makes the case that embarrassment is often the price of doing something worthwhile. Then Carina Maggar, author of How to Make Work Not Suck: Honest Advice for People with Jobs, offers practical advice for regret, creativity, reinvention, and getting unstuck at work. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
