Hello, I am super excited to share a special announcement with you, and that is right now, April 2026 is in fact the 10-year anniversary, the 10-year birthday, if you will, of the How to Be Awesome at Your Job podcast. And so we're going to do something kind of special with that. I am going to highlight one super special episode and represent it. here, interspersed amongst the the new episodes over the course of the next few weeks and months, so we can hear a super special episode. Now these are episodes that have continued to perennially perform well in the analytics.

Lots of starts, lots of people re-listening to it for multiple times, which you can see in the stat, which is kind of cool, as well as I found personally memorable and impactful. for my own life, work, career stuff. So it's a lot of fun and I hope you really dig some of these super greatest hits. And we're going to start way back in October 2016, episode 69, winning arguments while winning allies with Jay. Heinrich's Jay was so much fun.

We had a lot of laughs and we had a lot of insights and a lot of actionable goodness. And it's fun just to go into the time capsule to hear about polarization in politics in 2016. And boy, I think we we're still hearing some of that and where arguments are going well, what to do if you find yourself upsetting someone, how to apologize properly, disentangle some tricky situations, keep the right goals in mind. So much good stuff.
