03/11/25 • 29 min
In this week’s episode of The Rowbo Show, we dive into a topic that many people face but few openly talk about: the imaginary shame of unemployment. Join us as we challenge the negative stigma often attached to being between jobs and discuss why it’s essential to embrace this phase as part of the larger career journey. Unemployment isn’t a setback—it’s an opportunity. We explore the surprising benefits of this time off, from recharging your mental and emotional batteries to reevaluating your goals and passions. Whether you’ve recently lost a job or are simply in transition, we’ll share how to turn unemployment into a period of personal growth and renewal, so you’re better prepared for your next opportunity. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that reshapes how we think about this critical phase of life and encourages listeners to embrace the race, rather than fear it.
Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe Moralez

#003 - Methods of Communication
In this week’s episode of The Rowbo Show, we explore the evolving landscape of communication in 2025. Texting might be convenient, but it’s no substitute for a real conversation—especially when urgency is involved. We discuss why relying on just one form of communication can lead to misunderstandings and why using multiple channels can make all the difference. Mark also shares a few wild personal stories: from test driving a car with an 83-year-old bad driver, to an awkward dinner date with someone obsessed with texting, and even a bizarre encounter with a man eating a rat in New York City. It’s an entertaining, insightful episode that highlights the importance of clear communication in today’s fast-paced world.
