It Gets Late Early is a show about what’s really happening to experienced workers as the rules of work change. We dig into layoffs dressed up as AI strategy, side hustles and portfolio careers, the quiet rise of workplace ageism, and the (sometimes harsh) reality of building a career in midlife and beyond. We connect the dots between corporate decisions, economic forces, and the real lives of people navigating a changing world of work to help make sense of it all…because the career playbook we all followed was for a game no one can win anymore. You’ll hear honest conversations, expert insights, and practical advice for people trying to figure out what comes next—all wrapped up in a healthy dose of dark humor. Because sometimes you have to laugh so you don’t cry. Hosted by Maureen Wiley Clough—corporate dropout and ex-journalist who won’t quit telling the truth about work.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T02:19:57.969761+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744"},"episode":{"title":"The 10% Rule: Why a Little More Vulnerability Can Change Everything With Will Greenblatt","slug":"the-10-rule-why-a-little-more-vulnerability-can-change-everything-with-will-greenblatt","published_at":"2025-08-19T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744/the-10-rule-why-a-little-more-vulnerability-can-change-everything-with-will-greenblatt","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744","url":"https://www.itgetslateearly.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c7ab7773-f420-4bb6-b242-c17e215713a1.mp3","summary":"Why is it terrifying to present to just four people? According to Will Greenblatt, it's because our brains still think the tribe might \"club us over the head\" if they don't like what we say. Will's journey from Canadian child actor (yes, a self-proclaimed \"nepo baby\") to sought-after corporate speaking coach is anything but typical. After working with Anne Bancroft as a kid and nearly getting swept up in the Hollywood machine, a family tragedy and toxic theater school experience led him to completely reinvent himself. But here's what makes this episode essential listening: Will discovered that the same skills that make great actors also create breakthrough leaders. The difference? It's not about performing—it's about finding emotional truth and connecting authentically with your audience. The game-changing insight: When Will's clients embrace just 10% more vulnerability in meetings, they see measurable career improvements—better performance reviews, more influence, and stronger professional relationships. Because while everyone else is playing it safe, that small dose of authenticity makes you unforgettable. We dive deep into why mentorship is broken in today's workplace, how to spot genuine people in interviews, and Will's three-act framework for storytelling that builds instant trust. Plus, he shares the uncomfortable truth about why taking career risks, like leaving acting or corporate, might be the safest move you can make. “You give somebody the opportunity to destroy you, and you hope that they won't, and they might. But you can't love without that risk. And it's the same kind of thing when you tell your boss what you really think.”  ~ Will Greenblatt In This Episode: -The real difference between performing and authentic communication -Why our fear of public…","meta_description":"Why is it terrifying to present to just four people?
