Yet another awesome start of year 2020 recap. Its been shit. Recap done. Now, we actually focus on predicting whats going to happen and new trends in 2021 and beyond.

Its that time of the year. New Years resolutions aka procrastination. Yeah buddy. We said it.  In that spirit, we discuss how you should set your daily/weekly/quarterly/etc priorities.

Well - great topic. Both Zarko and I have had a plethora of bad leaders. The thing is we didnt always know how to spot them and what to do about it.  So we wanted to share our experiences on how to spot a shit leader and how to help yourself in your growth. Bad leaders can leave a permanent mark on your career and the way you perceive the work environment and your colleagues. Make sure you spot that and act accordingly. Reach out if you need some help or advice. Fuck bad leaders.

This is one of those episodes where our non-structured way took us in so many topics that it seemed like we were ranting mainly. We are working on that! :D We went through work work work balance and mental health, talked a lot about things you SHOULD NOT DO that we unfortunately did. So, hopefully this bit helps some people. Especially, people getting into the job market. We might have a rant episode monthly. Not sure. 100%. :D
