play

08/27/24 • 35 min

Does rizz play a role in ascending the corporate ladder? Is it about how big your rizz is or how you use it?

In this episode, Ross and Natalie break down what it means to have rizz in the workplace and why it is a factor to career success that should not be overlooked. You’ll get a crash course in how to rizz up your office that will either result in a series of promotions or a direct ticket to HR. You’ll learn how to make friends and rizzfluence people with the help of our favorite author D Carn (Dale Carnegie). If you are not yet sick of hearing the word “Rizz,” then this episode just might push you over the edge. Stay tuned for a webinar screen share disaster, a bear encounter on a golf course, and a tale of Gam Gam getting bullied.
