In this episode, we cover:
- Why you should insist on receiving a signable written offer before you start negotiating, and when to stop insisting if the company keeps stalling.
- How adding a simple “because” makes decision-makers say “yes” more often, and exactly how to use it in your comp ask. Don’t just take our word for it—read the study here.
- Building a “reason bank” before you negotiate: strong role-fit points, safe personal angles, and what reasons to avoid using.
- Our referral program: a flat $500 per referral who becomes a client (full details here).
We also share what we’ve been grateful for lately, including:
- Sam Harris’ Waking Up app and why guided meditation is finally sticking for Alex.
- How a simple gratitude journal rewires the brain to seek out the good in life—every single day.
- A smooth standby flight to Albania, grandma cuddles, and twin-cousin giggles.
- Our lives in San Francisco: block party vibes, a last-minute invite to ZHU’s set, and late-night city walks.
Tune in for mindset shifts and ready-to-use scripts that can turn the word “because” into a stronger offer.
