Today’s episode is a special one. We’re thrilled to bring you our third annual “Business Jargon that Drives Us Crazy” show but with a delightful twist. In the past, we dedicated a single episode to showcase the answers to my favorite question of the podcast: “What is the business cliche or jargon that drives you crazy?” However, with our weekly show, we now have more insightful responses to share.
In honor of the Memorial Day holiday, we present you with part one, featuring the thought-provoking answers from July to December 2022. Make sure to mark your calendars because, on July 4, we’ll release part two, highlighting the first six months of 2023. And remember, you can always find these insightful answers at the end of every one of our episodes. Enjoy!
