Same here. Business is Bullshit is our way of calling it out. Every couple of weeks, the three of us — Jon, James, and Jared — break down the dumbest stories, trends and personalities in the business world. We get into everything from broken work culture, bad tech takes to tone-deaf regulations, cringe \"thought leaders\" and anything \"business.\" No fluff. No hype. Just straight talk, real takes, and a little well-earned cynicism.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-26T12:20:31.190798+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260"},"episode":{"title":"Career Advice is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep. 23","slug":"career-advice-is-bullsh-t-business-is-bullsh-t-ep-23","published_at":"2025-10-15T19:43:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260/career-advice-is-bullsh-t-business-is-bullsh-t-ep-23","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260","url":"https://385b4acf-6355-4b46-a0c4-d76e364bf60a.libsyn.com/career-advice-is-bullsht-business-is-bullsht-ep-23","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/385b4acf-6355-4b46-a0c4-d76e364bf60a/BIBS_ep_23.m4a?dest-id=4726657","summary":"Everyone's been told the same tired career advice: \"Follow your passion.\" \"Learn to code.\" \"Get a degree and you'll be set.\" Yeah… about that. In this episode, James Hornick, Jon Tsourakis, and Jared Gibson dismantle the entire playbook of \"safe\" career moves — from the myth of job security to why AI, offshoring, and corporate downsizing have made traditional advice completely useless. They dig into: Why \"follow your passion\" is a rich kid's game. How \"learn to code\" turned into the new unemployment trap. The STEM vs. liberal arts flip no one saw coming. Why the real safety net today is adaptability, soft skills, and your personal brand. The $2,000 \"upskill or die\" scam that blames workers for corporate greed. If you've ever wondered why doing everything right still feels like you're falling behind, this episode explains it — and why the smartest move now is rewriting the rules entirely.
