A year ago, we first met Sam Tortora in Episode 2. Today, she’s back — not just as a guest, but as our new co-host.

This conversation sets the tone for the next chapter of Who Moved My Career?!: LinkedIn vs. Reality. Think of it like sitting down with your coworkers after hours, when the polished profiles and “I’m thrilled to announce” posts finally drop away.

Together, we unpack the tension between how we present ourselves professionally and what actually happens inside workplaces. Why it’s so hard to have the uncomfortable conversations. Why we avoid them. And why we need them more than ever.

Because at its core, this podcast is about creating a safe space to talk about the stuff we don’t usually say out loud at work — the messy, honest, human side of our careers.

Takeaways:

• LinkedIn is the highlight reel; this podcast is the blooper reel.

• We aim to create space for the conversations you wish you could have with coworkers.

• Workplace dynamics don’t get better by avoiding them — they get better by naming them.

• Expect relatability, honesty, and a little cheek.
