  • Introducing: BIZ
    Feb 3 2025

    Welcome to BIZ - the podcast that's rewriting the rules of work for a new generation.

    Join Em Vernem (ambitious but efficient), Michelle Battersby (launched Bumble APAC) and Soph Hirst (ex-Google) as they tackle everything from dealing with difficult bosses to knowing if your side hustle can become your career.

    In this first episode:

    Asking for a pay rise is about as comfortable as explaining to your boss why you've been late three times this week. But what if there was a way to do it that actually works?

    Biz career coaches Michelle Battersby and Soph Hirst to share their proven framework for getting what you want at work (spoiler: don't mention your expensive oat latte habit).

    Plus, they bust the myths about asking every year, using other job offers as leverage, and what to do if you get a 'no'.

    Consider this your cheat sheet to having the money conversation - minus the awkward sweating.
