In this episode
No vendors this week. The panel steps back from the table to talk about the people doing the work: what they do when they are not negotiating, the mentors and moments that shaped them, the human cost of a job that is always someone else's deadline, and why they stay in a profession nobody thanks.
- The people behind the deals: life away from the table
- The mentors and moments that shaped how they work
- Burnout, and the human cost of always-someone-else's-deadline
- Why they stay, and what they tell newcomers
- A lighter round of war stories, told for the fun of it
