About this episode

Flexible scheduling, daily pay, mental health breaks. Good help isn’t hard to find IF you know how to attract it. A C-suite executive breaks down the new things companies can do to attract AND retain hourly employees in a vicious job market. When entire industries collapse, sometimes those out of work are saved by their own. The team from Comedy Gives Back details how they offered a safety net to stand-up comedians in need. @Rod4Short dishes on hip-hop heavyweights ready to make peace and money, plus a dog tripping on mushrooms. SCAM OF THE WEEK: Did you hear the one about the comedian's wife who faked having cancer and fleeced a fundraiser?
