   5. Episode 9 - I GOT A JOB!!!

   Hey there.As you can see from the title, this episode is about the fact that I found a job... HIP HOORAY, right? Or maybe not... Maybe I'm in way over my head, and what seemed right isn't actually right "for me".This isn't your typical episode. The right thing at the wrong time, can be the wrong thing. And I want to explore that dichotomy with you all.I know you're going to enjoy this one.Happy Listening!

   7. Episode 7 - How to be replaceable

   Hey.This is Episode 7.In this episode, I work through an interesting but tricky conundrum... How do I train others so they are competent, but no so competent that I get replaced. My answer is that you should always be replaceable. When you teach, you're emptying yourself of the old stuff and making space for something new.Hope you enjoy this one.

    13. Episode 1 - How We Ended Up Here!

    Welcome to the first episode of 'I Got Fired Last Week'.This is not a typo... I was genuinely told that my role was now redundant and that, even though I was on paternity leave, I would now have to look for another job.In this pilot episode, I introduce myself, explain what inspired this Podcast, and ultimately why you should listen to me.I think it will be good... I'd encourage you to listen through, and let me know what you think. I'd appreciate your feedback.My email is 'IGotFiredLastWeek@gma
