Are You Grinding Your Career Away or Going All In on Yourself?

Every meeting is like a poker table. Whether you are pitching your idea or client. Every negotiation for a raise is a game. Every room is an opportunity, unless you stay on the sidelines. The movie Rounders teaches us that poker requires skills to win, so does life. Two characters offer two different approaches. Which one are you? Joey Knish? The grinder who plays it safe for 15 years, pays his bills, and stays exactly the same. Or Mike McDermott? The guy who loses $30,000, gets his face busted, then comes back and wins bigger than ever. Here's what I learned in 27 years of broadcasting: Your career is a series of poker tables. The question isn't what cards you have, it's whether you know how to read the room. When to go all in, and which tables are worth sitting at. If you're tired of playing it safe and ready to take your shot, this episode is your permission slip. So...Are you Knish or Mike?
