Awesome App for on the Go ,

Inspirational!

Unprofessional is an amazing breath of fresh air! Hilary is having normal conversations with other professionals that changes the way we look at professionalism within the workplace in such a positive manner.

Growing up, there was a stigma about being professional within your work environment, only talking about specific topics. Hilary is breaking that mold by leading the conversations that SHOULD BE discussed in and out of the workplace!

Not to mention her guests that she hosts ALWAYS provide value in their area of expertise!

I love that Hilary is a CEO and still makes time to prioritize herself and her family. If you are looking for a podcast that provides value while changing your perspective of the word “professional,” then you found it!

Shaman 🙏 ,

A Must Listen!

Hilary and her guests are changing the game with this podcast!
