10/28/2026

Maria Sentmanat, 55, quit a $153,000 job in August with no plan B and says her savings cover six months to a year. The same week, Microsoft, Centene and Skydance all offered people money to leave. On today's Daily Climb: the four questions HR experts say to ask before you sign a buyout, the order that actually works (stable income first, second thing on the side), and the runway number you need before anyone hands you an offer. Live weekday mornings on YouTube.

10/27/2026

Microsoft handed about a quarter of its workforce a voluntary exit offer with a December deadline. Skydance did it the same Monday. Tracey Hayes called her package a blessing because her number was already small when the email came. Today: the three lines to write before any offer lands, Microsoft's own severance formula as the example, Anthropic's filing (940 to 5,300 people, Claude writing most of the code), and a 26-year-old founder on the skill he cannot hire.

Siobhan MacDermott had one of the best résumés you will ever see and spent two years applying with no job. So she built two companies and said security now comes "from what I've built and what I know." Friday Amex cut about 5 percent of its people with revenue up 9 percent. A new Goldman Sachs survey says most of Gen X and millennials already earn outside their main job, and most say they need to. Today: how a wealth advisor used AI to do a team's work alone, a Kentucky operations pro who built a free site after zero interviews, a PhD at Intel back in school at 41, and the free cybersecurity program that closes today. Live every weekday morning.

10/22/2026

Rose Ann Mullet got a five-day office order while she was pregnant. She planned a business, signed a client before the baby came, and now three ghostwriting clients pay her old salary. Same morning: eBay cut about 9 percent of its staff in the same memo that said the strategy is working, Meta reported 26 percent more sales with 15 percent fewer people, and Barclays cut 5,000 jobs in a profit quarter. A Box executive says the side project is now the interview. Median pay rose 1.5 percent while prices rose 3.5. Your company's good quarter is not your insurance. The thing you build on the side can be. Live weekdays at 7:40 a.m. Central.

10/21/2026

A marketing manager sent 1,000 applications and is still looking. Qualcomm's CEO told his workforce that skills and expertise decide who stays. Netflix grew 12 percent and still cut 1,000. Retirees get 3.6 percent in January; job stayers got 3.4; prices rose 3.7. Live at 7:40 Central: the one thing every person with options owns, and the two-sentence assignment due Friday.

10/20/2026

Gena Pemberton, 50, applied to dozens of jobs a week, lowered her title and her pay, and is still out after 15 months. This morning Business Insider published Google's internal documents: AI fluency is now required for every software engineering job there, and candidates can use Gemini in the interview. Today's show: the skill they cannot take, the income they cannot touch, and the two sentences to write before Friday. Live every weekday morning.

10/19/2026

Anthony Wilson had five weeks of vacation and 21 years of seniority when Pepsi shut down the Cheverly plant work. What caught him was the lawn care business he already ran on the side. This morning: the CEO who has never done a layoff and is still hiring fewer people, the couple who turned one $1,100 camcorder into $50,000 in sales while he kept his job, and the free data center course that closes applications today. Nobody is coming to insure your paycheck. Here is how you insure it yourself.

10/16/2026

The head of JPMorgan called AI "a tsunami" nobody can stop. The same morning, BLS data showed 20 months of raises bought the average hourly worker 2 cents an hour. And a Census paper found grads in AI-exposed majors earn 13 percent less. Today: how to build the second column while the paycheck still pays, with three real people doing it at three sizes, IBM's "go deep" rule, and a free Oracle cert. Live weekdays 7:30 a.m. Central.

10/15/2026

Netflix is hitting its numbers and still cut about 1,000 people, 6 percent of the company, mostly in product, tech, legal and HR. The same morning, 9 in 10 CEOs told KPMG they plan to hire, and the government said average hourly pay is down 0.7 percent after inflation. All three are true. On Episode 200 we show you what the company's plan looks like from the inside (three careers of 10, 17 and 27 years, one email), why a bank hired 1,000 contractors while cutting 3,400 jobs, and the three-column plan that is actually yours. Live at 7:30 CT

10/14/2026

Switching jobs pays again, but almost nobody is quitting. Today: a 61-year-old engineer who chose his city over his job, 587 Hasbro workers facing the same choice by Christmas Eve, and a woman who built a $2 million business while keeping her paycheck. If you can't leave for the raise, build the raise. Live on The Daily Climb.
