I don't like to dance, and I don't like to dance naked in a sauna, so there you have it. They weren't naked, they were semi-naked. Anyway, neither here nor there.

Kara Swisher· Host0:08
Hi, everyone, from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. This is On with Kara Swisher, and I'm Kara Swisher. We're doing something a little different on this show today. For this episode of On, I'll be the one answering questions, your questions. For the last few weeks, you've all been sending us your career advice questions. You've asked about everything from how to think about using AI at work, to dealing with bad managers, to preparing for retirement, and I've got at least some answers for you. It's a really good time to do an episode like this, too, because there's a lot of anxiety about the job market right now. I think everyone is feeling it. People are worried about AI, the war in Iran, the Trump administration's policies, and what it all means for them. I wanna do this episode 'cause I get asked for career advice all the time. I could open my own business. I should charge for it, actually. Maybe I will charge for it, and it'll be my career, my next career. But actually, I think people ask me about career advice frequently because I change my careers a lot, and I take a lot of risks with them, and it usually ends up pretty well. And so when people are especially in media or transitioning, I'm the go-to person, usually 'cause I don't sugarcoat it. I've had so much fun answering the questions you sent to me, so don't go anywhere.
