Never Say “Family Emergency”, Keeping It Professional on Social Media, and More | Office Hours Podcast

This week on Office Hours, TK and Isaac talk about why using “family emergency” as a reason to miss things can be problematic, how to balance professionalism with social media as a resource, moving away from home, and simple ways to come up with more ideas.

Questions:

  • What’s the right balance between using social media for advice and being discreet to remain professional?
  • I’m 17 and my parents are going to kick me out when I’m 18. What do I do?
  • How can you get better at creating ideas?

Check out the new episode of Office Hours now on iTunes, YouTube, direct download and all major podcast platforms.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • Being specific instead of saying “family emergency”
  • Be skeptical of social media likes
  • What is professional depends on the context
  • Asking questions to relevant groups
  • Taking ownership of whatever situation you’re in
  • Being a time billionaire
  • How your brain comes up with ideas
  • Creativity as a discipline
