Episode notes
Loyalty Is A Historical Construct
- The word 'loyalty' is historically tied to hierarchies and has lost relevance in modern employer-employee relationships.
- Today's relationship is more an equal exchange of contribution, growth, and market-competitive remuneration.
Move Jobs Strategically, Not Reactively
- Focus on self-interest and move strategically when changing jobs rather than for trivial reasons like slightly higher pay.
- Show tenacity to learn and stick long enough to build skills that compound over years.

- Luis Miranda recounts changing jobs multiple times while noting his father's long tenure at one company.
- He uses this contrast to argue people should accept self-interest as a career driver.
