This episode is sponsored by Plaud, the AI wearable gadget that takes notes of meetings and calls.

Plaud is your AI-powered secret weapon, at work or in the classroom.

It creates perfect transcripts, summarizes key points, and generates mind maps to visualize everything.

And Plaud doesn't just take notes.

It understands them.

Ask it anything about what you recorded and get instant answers.

It's like using chat GPT, but specialized for your conversations.

I use Plot myself here at Find Your Dream Job. Before every episode, I meet with

in our interviews to make sure we cover what manners most to the guest. Ready to work smarter,
