There are 2 main segments to each interview:
1. WORK: First we dive deep about work / careers - what do people REALLY, ACTUALLY do in their jobs? How did they get to where they are? What do they love/hate about their jobs? Etc. etc.
We also delve into things like career advice, self-improvement, and more.
2. REST and PLAY: In the second part of the show we discuss in detail, what people do to recharge, release stress, and have fun!
