About this episode

There’s nothing like the mix of excitement and anxiety when walking into your first day of a new job. Set yourself up for success by starting out on the right foot…you’ll thank yourself later.


In this episode, Natalie and Ross reflect on their first days of work in consulting and sales. They give some tips for you to employ when starting a new job that’ll lower your anxiety and help you to be productive right out of the gate. If you’re interested in making a first impression that will scar your image in your coworkers’ minds, we’ll hit you with some absolutely unhinged stunts to pull on your first day.


Stay tuned for a behind the scenes discussion of Natalie staring in The Charlie Puth Show, Ross busting a stanky leg on the stage of a crowd of hundreds of people, and Natalie’s decision to laminate her eyebrows.
