New Books in LawHistory and Law with Rodger CitronI spoke with an accomplished attorney and innovative law professor Rodger Citron of the Touro Law School about the complex relationships between history and... yes, law. We talked about how the Nuremberg trials of Nazi criminals after World War II shaped the US legal philosophy. We dug into themes like the tensions between originalism and evolving interpretations of the Constitution and how judges’ personal histories impact supposedly objective rulings. We discussed Judge Irving Kaufman (famous for sentencing Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to death in 1951) and how his complex legacy offers insight into the human dimension of the judiciary. We al...

2021-04-131h 01Blood Sweat & CareersSurvival JobsSurvival Jobs: Is it a a phrase from multi-hyphenate jargon, career pivot or even a problematic term? Culturally, young people have shifted from gaining work experience (and paying for cars, college or just supporting the family) to gaining the "right" kind of work experience. Even as the pandemic displaced so many workers, there are stigmas around what’s a “worthy” job and the "right" way a career should progress. According to backstage.com a “survival job is a job someone takes to pay the bills while pursuing a career they love.” Co-hosts Mallory, Austin and Katherine circle up to discuss a...

Rory started his career in the army leading him to a eye-rolling stint as a quality control lab technician (read: taste tester). He loved his role as an EMT while waiting for a position to open up to be a firefighter. An eye injury meant that dream would never come true, so he ditched the low-paying gig (Yes, most people working in healthcare make minimum wage). Today, he's found success as a chef running his own kitchen at Swill Inn in Chicago. Co-hosts Austin...

Blood Sweat & CareersDollhouse Therapy w/Set Designer-Miniaturist-Puppeteer Adam KochIn the before times, Adam Koch was an incredibly busy set designer living in New York and working all over the US. His time was consumed by running his own business and constant rotation of projects as a designer - miniaturist - puppeteer.
All of that came to an unexpected and swift halt when NYC/the world were "sleeping beauty-ed" (our new, better term for shutdown at the beginning of the pandemic). With his days no longer consumed by work, Adam was finally able to come "out of the closet" as a multi-hyphenate.
Since childhood, Adam has loved tiny spaces and du...

Blood Sweat & CareersMaker Manual w/Maker-Art Handler-Sustainable Skateboard Crafter Eric AngusThis week on the pod we speak with Maker Eric Angus.
Eric opened our eyes to the maker universe and showed us how the term is certainly in conversation with multi-hyphenate. Eric makes sustainable skateboards, works with cement (have you ever seen a cement lake?), is on the install team at an art museum AND is starting his own collaborative studio (phew 😅)!
Identifying as a maker has certainly given Eric confidence to move from one hands-on frontier to the next...perhaps the same way your confidence can flourish once you’ve realized the strength being a multi-hyphenate offers.
It’s the pro...

2021-01-0550 minBlood Sweat & CareersNot Buying DiamondsMillennials (and Gen Z) have been blamed for upending decades-long industries like pricy engagement rings, buying homes, purchasing new cars, and working with the same company until retirement. Through all this blame (oh no, there goes JC Penny!), have any of these naysayers stoped to wonder why? It might not be what you think.
Did you know minimum wage peaked in 1968 at $8.68 (adjusted for inflation)? Since it was last raised in 2009, it has lost about 10% of its purchasing power? That gig work has grown from 8% to 24% according to a recent survey — and for those polled is essential to meeting basic in...

2020-12-1554 minBlood Sweat & CareersAre You an Imposter?So, do you feel like an imposter? Maybe you feel like a fraud at at work. What about devaluing your worth, aka charging less than pays the bills or acting like your accomplishments don't matter? Well, you might be suffering from imposter syndrome. This episode we explore the term coined in 1978 by two American psychologists, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes. Turns out the more successful you are, you might be feeling even more like you don’t “deserve” it. We unpack how major multi-hyphenates like Michelle Obama and Maya Angelou suffered from this insidious mindset. Plus, we talk about financial impost...

At the same time, juggling multiple roles and passion projects is a constant need to know more/learn more/stay at the cutting edge of multiple fields. Not sure what a trap versus a trick means?
