About this episode

To return or not to return? Natalie and Corp discuss the pros and cons of returning to the office and working from home.

While championing the sale profession, he thoroughly explains why it’s not the career for everyone. Stay tuned for a desperate plea to recruit female soccer players, advice on road tripping with your boss, and a follow-up story of Ross getting ill from an underground bathhouse.
