Description

We have an amazing episode this week with comedian and podcast host, Alexis Gay! Alexis hosts the amazing podcast "Non-Technical" where she talks to stars in the tech world about everything BUT their resume. So basically the opposite of this podcast! Alexis is super inspiring because she was working in tech, at startups, at Patreon, and decided to take the leap to leave her full-time job and work for herself doing comedy and starting her podcast. We talk a lot about what it's like to make that transition, and how to set yourself up for a career change. Of course we also talk about her first jobs and her crush on her coworker when she was 16 who she later in life went on a date with which is an amazing juicy story! Anna also gets inspired to call her old crushes to try and make this fairytale happen! The conversation goes deep into the struggle between going for your dreams or going to school and doing what you thought was a traditional path. But if you have the acting bug, you have the acting bug! This is an inspiring episode if you've been thinking about changing your career. Make sure you follow @YayAlexisGay on all platforms and watch her hilarious viral videos and definitely check out Non-Technical Podcast wherever you're listening to your pods these days! Lastly, please check out our Patreon because Patreon is totally the star of this episode lol. *If you want to be on the podcast, email us at TheUnemployedTeam@gmail.com !!

This is a safe space for anyone who has ever lost a job, left a job, or is sitting at their desks bored out of their mind right now! Based on the hit live digital talk show, "The Unemployed Show," where Anna and guests would wear pajamas every week and commiserate about bad jobs, this podcast is a more intimate look into the world of unemployment and underemployment. Anna sat in front of a camera on her couch for 'The Unemployed Show' for 2 years and then got a job hosting a show in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the app HQ. Is she the fairy godmother of unemployed millennials? Some say yes! Hopefully this podcast will inspire you to pick yourself up and get a new job, or stay on your couch and chill all day. Either way, you'll laugh with Anna and her guests about the insane things they did for work. Each week Anna interviews friends, comedians, and professionals about their worst (and best!) job stories and how they figured out life as an unemployed person. Oh and sometimes they call a stranger from the internet who is unemployed and in need of a pep talk. It's sweet.
