My New Podcast

Jason Feifer announces Build for Tomorrow is going on hiatus, but reveals a new twice-weekly podcast called Help Wanted.

Bad news comes first. Build for Tomorrow is going on hiatus, but the host presents the pause as a nudge toward Help Wanted, where listeners can still hear more from him. So, not goodbye. Help Wanted comes out twice a week and focuses on work problems, with life problems close behind. Then the sample starts. Chelsea is weighing a salary conversation after another company shows up with a much bigger check. Bob plays the employer. He tells her she is valued, brings up past raises, and points to a tighter economy as a reason to stay. It works, at least for a second. The advice then pulls Chelsea away from asking what Bob thinks and toward naming the raise that would actually keep her. Let's back up. The point is not to prove another organization values her. The point is the check. Chelsea wants a clear number. She says something below a 30-plus-percent jump might keep her, maybe 15 or 20 percent. Now the question gets practical. Should she ask for the exact number she wants, or start higher so she can land there? No games, just direct advocacy. By the end, she sounds steadier about her worth and more open to seeing what else is possible. The promo closes cleanly. Help Wanted is a Money News Network production, hosted by Jason Pfeiffer and Nicole Lapin, with a helpline for listener questions.

As heard by us

A hiatus episode that introduces Help Wanted and offers practical guidance for a pay conversation.

Build for Tomorrow uses its hiatus note to do two things cleanly: explain the pause, then point listeners toward Help Wanted, a twice-weekly show about work problems and, by the sound of it, a few life problems too.
