This week, Syd and Brit pack their tote bags and head to Tucson, Arizona for a real-life business trip—yes, we left our houses. We met internet friends IRL, got inspired by Actual People™, and remembered the unmatched magic of face-to-face connections. From awkward hugs to genuine career conversations, this episode is all about the unexpected value of showing up in person (and not just in the comments section).
We also talk about Brit’s journey of being offline, what it’s been like stepping back from LinkedIn, and—drumroll please—an update on the job she’s been waiting to hear from for six. entire. months.
Discover:
- Why sometimes the best networking happens over lukewarm conference coffee
- The surprising power of meeting people you’ve only ever Zoomed
- The pros and cons of taking a LinkedIn break (mental clarity vs. FOMO)
- Job hunting purgatory: when the process takes forever
- That one person who made the whole trip worth it
- Lessons in presence, patience, and putting on real pants
