As per a listener request, today we are talking about getting along with a boss. More specifically, how do you get along with someone who can tell you what to do, namely, teachers, bosses, and Dad's joke, spouses. We have a great conversation with each other about our experiences and Ashton shares his real world experience of not doing so well at resolving conflict at his Walmart position. The Dad also shares his perspective having been an employer and a boss himself and an employee. It allows for some pretty cool conversations and we think you will enjoy this one.
