You're Too Valuable Career Podcast
A deep dive into burnout, quiet quitting, and surviving the grind
About Our Podcast
You're Too Valuable is an unfiltered, unscripted podcast about the chaos of corporate life—and how to survive it with your sanity (and sarcasm) intact.
Greg is a seasoned Human Resources Manager who knows the system from the inside. Robert is a former senior leader in telecommunications who walked away to start his own career development business. Jesse is a former hospitality operations director with war stories from the front lines of customer service and corporate shenanigans.
Friends for nearly 20 years, they've taken different career paths—but all three have seen the burnout, the quiet quitting, the meetings that could’ve been emails, and the promotions that felt more like punishments.
This podcast is where career reality meets dark humor. It's for anyone who's ever been told they’re “too valuable” to in their current role to ever be considered for promotion.
