CATCH UP SESSIONS

Business EN ↓ 110 episodes

On this podcast, you get to listen in to my catch up conversations with friends! The latest season will feature people from different industries in Manila, where we'll get to hear about career highs and lows, and what's it really like being in that little work-bubble that they live in. It's 50% me consulting on how to go about making big life and career decisions, and the other 50%, I ask questions for you, oh lost soul, who have yet to figure out their next move. Enjoy your eavesdropping!
