Summary

How do you know if someone is hesitant to work with you… and more importantly, what can you do about it? That’s what Jason and special cohost Jenny Wood (author and former Google executive) are unpacking in today’s episode. Jenny shares a story about a time a freelancer almost walked away from working with her—and the surprising reason why. Together, Jason and Jenny dig into how to spot signals when something feels off in a professional relationship, how to get honest feedback (even when it’s awkward), and what to do when your first impression misses the mark. Order Jenny’s book Wild Courage, out now, here!
