Your co-hosts, Paul & Shimina, take you through an introspective, educational, and entertaining journey through various conversations surrounding personal and professional success. Our podcast focuses on how to be a "boss," not just in the work place, but in life, relationships, and society; and through the lens of being a queer person of color (QPOC). Episodes are published bi-weekly.
Our August Head Boss of the Month goes to Kid Fury & Crissle West of The Read!

RADIO REPLAY: Defining What We're Meant To Do
Can you believe it's been TWO YEARS since we started this show, with a whopping 53 episodes?! In honor of our two year anniversary, and this much needed break (check our social media announcement for more on that), we will continue our bi-weekly Tuesday production schedule by replaying some of our former episodes. We hope to continue engaging new fans. And for our current fans? Maybe you'll hear something different and more relevant in our intellectual/shady banter. For this week's show, please enjoy a radio replay of HBIC's inaugural episode... Episode 1: Defining What We're Meant To Do.

How the Hell Have You Not Been Fired Yet?
Have you ever stared at a coworker of yours, thinking “how the hell have you not been fired yet?” Shimina and Paul discuss their experiences and strategies on how to handle employees who are holding back the growth of oneself and/or the organization. Sometimes these folks are fully aware of the “bad Koolaid” they are making, while others do not realize how much they are force feeding it down everyone’s throats. On the flip side, there are times you may feel seldom in your opinion on another’s poor performance. Your co-hosts discuss the caveats and multiple perspectives on this common issue in the workplace. No questions or games this week, we skip right to our bosses and bitches of the week. Topics include: Janet Jackson, Janelle Monae, Outside Lands, Aretha Franklin, Serena Williams, Anita Baker (tickets), OTRII (tickets).

Superstitions
Superstitions.... where do they come from? Paul & Shimina do a deep dive into the topic with a help from this article in Essence Magazine: https://www.essence.com/holidays/black-history-month/black-superstitions-traditions-origins/
Note: We experienced technical difficulties with this week’s episode. So the first 10ish minutes of Water Cooler Talk is missing.

Freestyle
Ooooweee! Paul & Shimina have been through it! But in a good way, actually. Your co-hosts are in the thick of it… the crossroads at which one questions their personal decisions and life’s actions, but strangely enough, life is questioning those same decisions and actions for us. No topic for this one… we just ride the wave and freestyle from our hearts. Also, we give shout outs to San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, comedian Michelle Buteau, and Kay Customz’s racially inclusive dolls.

SUP#5: Life's Transitions
It’s been a while, but we’re also pressed for time. So we are calling a brief stand up meeting to order! This week’s topic is on life transitions---when do you know it’s the right time to move on to the next opportunity, or event? And more importantly what internal or external resources are necessary to make these transitions? Are there certain transitions to avoid or not avoid? Your co-hosts navigate these questions and more in this week’s SUP. You can read more by referring to, “8 Tips for Navigating Life’s Transition,” on the Huffington Post (https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5006540).

Everything Is Love (feat. The Carters & Maiya Lanae)
Psyche! Beyonce and Jay-Z are not this week’s guests on HBIC (I know, it’s devastating, but they’re on tour right now), but we are sharing the mic with our friend, colleague, and renaissance woman, Maiya Lanae! Paul could not help but think how appropriately aligned the content of The Carters’ debut joint project, “Everything is the Love,” was in comparison to the overarching themes of the HBIC podcast---career, life, and success. Maiya joins your co-hosts in dissecting the 9-track album, including the music video for “Apesh*t.”
Maiya is a health educator by day, and a DJ by night. You can catch her as DJ Mai Girl two Fridays a month at KISS, her residency at 515 Kitchen and Cocktails in Santa Cruz, or at various events in and around the Bay Area. Look out for the launch of her podcast, The Hot Mess Health Show, in the fall. She joined the Beyhive in 1997, a member of one of the first cohorts.

Customer Reviews
Very necessary
I am happy this podcast was created. It relates to the office environment and ambition to grow in a fun and informative way. I love the “Boss A** B**** and B**** A** Boss” segment at the end of the show.
The Boss of Podcasts
This podcast gives a wholistic view of being a boss--the upsides, the challenges, and everything in between. Shimina and Paul's strong professional advice paired with their real life influences, goals, and stories of being in the work give listeners the opportunity to see themselves and be real. It's a breath of fresh air that reenergizes the way I think about supervisory methods and work-life balance.
Flung out of space
I stumbled upon this by accident & it's honestly the best thing that's happened to me all week. Paul & Shimina are funny and insightful...and they basically are putting all my thoughts into words. I don't think it's a stretch to thank serendipity for bringing me here; s/o to the universe for landing this in my lap!
