The official Podcast for WWW.PELUSOPRESENTS.COM 

Please share this very special Christmas episode of the Peluso Presents Podcast.

We will return to our regular format and regular schedule starting on  January 2nd.  

Pride can be both a great asset and a liability when it comes to career decisions. Learn how Pride can be a great thing and how it can be a horrible thing.  BONUS: New Segment, learn why Amazon's Kindle HD is such huge missed opportunity.  

Ever wonder why HR is always so chipper?  Why the HR teams seem so excited when they have things like Appreciation lunches, and certificates of recognition?  Generally it's because they are not empowered to do the things that really need to be done for the workforce.  Learn about the world of HR and why you may want to bring them some chocolate ice cream the next time there is a problem at the facility they have to deal with.  

What would happen if we all knew the conversation AFTER we left the interview room? This weeks episode argues that we'd all be the better for it.  In the Who am I section, learn my thoughts on Christmas.  

Description: Today's show is all about the realities of the Donald Trump Presidency, realities that both sides of the political spectrum don't really talk about much.  It's also about how business can influence your political perspective.  

Who am I: Learn about my Political Journey

Description: Wall Street and big business can be mature, stable, thoughtful and they sometimes aren't.  Sometimes they are the most immature things that exist, so much that they give little children a run for their money!

In a shorter than typical Halloween episode this week I discuss the reasons why we wear masks in the workplace.  

Note:  In an effort to speed up my production time I've decided to skip the Who am I segment this week.  My goal is to figure out what segments need to stay and which ones need to go.  If i'm writing
