Summary

Roy shares big news about the future of the podcast as it relates to his time at “The Daily Show.” Which leads to talking to a guest about burn out. The cause, the symptoms and how can you turn it around.

The team chops it up with a HR heavyweight who once fired 100 people in 8 hours. He breaks down the mistakes we make in job interviews and what you should be asking for to put your best foot forward.

Plus – tips for negotiating a salary that can help you tactfully and confidently ask for what you want, including a company car. He also breaks down what companies get right (and wrong) about diversifying their work force.

An impromptu Rod’s Relationship Fair is on deck – and the issues revolve around a pastor who met a woman at work and it looks like she is not interested in being his first lady.

How much would your city have to pay you to move to a rural area? The city of Tokyo has started the bidding at $8,000.

The newest member of the Roy’s Job Fair two-timer club, DJ Rasta Root, producer and former manager of the late Phife Dawg and A Tribe Called Quest, breaks down the making of Phife’s posthumous album Forever.
