Send us a text This week on LinkedOut: we’re writing back to our rejection emails (because if the bots can be unhinged, so can we). Billionaires are officially old news—make way for the trillionaires. 🙄 Also, LinkedIn’s been reading your DMs to train their AI (toggle your settings, babes). We spiral about whether flip phones are the new frontier of peace, brainstorm ways to help Brit stop doom scrolling, and try (unsuccessfully) to keep Syd awake.

Syd and Brit Get Worked (But Not Hired)

Send us a text This week, Syd gets worked by a recruiter but never actually gets work. Brit gets rejected from Trader Joe’s (rude!) and somehow still becomes the embroidery queen. We spiral about why we’re all building our own AI prison, psychoanalyze billionaires for sport, and lightly roast capitalism—all while reminding you that in-person connections still reign supreme. Somebody please send a hero—or at least a paycheck. Support the show

Syd and Brit Hammer It Out

Send us a text With AI coming for every white-collar job we’ve ever had, Syd and Brit consider new career paths in welding, construction, and other trades that can’t (yet) be automated. It’s women in the opposite of STEM, men on thin ice (except the ones who listen to this podcast, obviously), and a healthy dose of existential career panic. Thanks a lot, AI. Support the show

Syd and Brit Toggle Between Depression & Acceptance

Send us a text Another pop-up, another lesson, another lint-filled pocket. Syd gets ghosted by her own kin, we’re still swinging between depression and acceptance (fun!), and maybe it’s time to cut the cord and crawl back to the cozy days of VHS and DVDs. The only streaming we're doing is our tears. Support the show

Syd and Brit Catch a Sexy Vibe

This week, Syd and Brit get communal—talking about the highs and lows of community living, new projects keeping the vibes optimistic, and why hoarding wealth is out (but being too sexy to work is very much in). Plus: fake ads for our fake sponsors, and plenty of unhinged side quests along the way. We also mention The Gray Area podcast ("Imagine there's no billionaires") in this ep so go check it out or whatevs. Support the show

Syd relapsed—and yes, it’s exactly what you think. Between cringey LinkedIn spam, questionable vendor run-ins, and our latest side quest into embroidery, we’re learning the highs, lows, and LOLs of building a small business while still getting pulled back into the platform we swear we swore off.

Syd and Brit are So Back

From LinkedIn to link in bio. Syd and Brit dive into their sustainable small biz journey—running baby + kids vintage pop-ups, accidentally making a nemesis (hi, neighborhood mom 👀), learning the hard way about business partners, and scouting NYC’s best secondhand spots. It’s community, chaos, and content-creation—all in one episode. Don’t come for us! *unless you’re coming to shop Support the show

Syd and Brit Start a Small Business!!! (Season 1 Finale)

It’s the Season One LinkedOut finale, babe! And yes—we’re pivoting harder than a tech founder post-downturn. In this episode, Syd and Brit spill the tea on their next big move: launching a modern baby + kids boutique featuring secondhand gems and sustainably made goodies. Brit’s passion for vintage? Activated. Syd’s urge to romanticize community spaces? Unleashed. We’re embracing entrepreneurship with open arms, open minds, and maybe a tiny bit of mania. Season Two of LinkedOut will be all ab...

Syd and Brit Take a Sabbatical to Nowhere

This week, Syd has officially retired from LinkedIn and is now living her best soft-life fantasy—rebranding as a neighborhood photographer and making art, making friends, and making the golden years even golder. Meanwhile, Brit reenters the job market and hits rock bottom: she finds a listing that wants one person to be a CMO, barista, life coach, and full-stack developer… all for the pay of a fast food gig, in California, no less. Love that for us! We also spiral into: Why every Bravo-lebrit...

Syd and Brit Can’t Afford That Bag Anyway

This week on LinkedOut, we’re talking cause → effect → chaos. Syd and Brit dive into the butterfly effect of accepting lower salaries as experienced professionals—because when one of us takes a pay cut, it ripples across the whole damn industry. We also break down the internet’s reaction to new tariffs and why luxury brands are spiraling, rebranding, and possibly just screaming into the void. And of course, we’re shouting out the real MVPs: the creative community and small businesses trying t...

Syd and Brit Leave the Group Chat

This week, Syd and Brit pack their tote bags and head to Tucson, Arizona for a real-life business trip—yes, we left our houses.

From awkward hugs to genuine career conversations, this episode is all about the unexpected value of showing up in person (and not just in the comments section). We also talk about Brit’s journey of being offline, what it’s been like stepping b...

Syd and Brit Roast the Job Market with Joe Fenti

This week we’re talking to Joe Fenti—comedian, content creator, and the guy who applied to 200 jobs on LinkedIn and got zero responses (relatable, right?).

We dive into how he balances stand-up with social media, why creative contracts make or break a brand deal, and the surprising lessons he learned after accidentally competing in a d...

We talk about finally finding a good recruiter and what that actually looks like compared to all the duds sliding into your LinkedIn comments and DMs. Okay, so this episode isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but sometimes the only things that happen during unemployment are interviews and getting dragged to a destination wedding you can extend by two extra days—because, well, no job.
