Let's be honest here, 2024 has been a

0:34

great year for music. We're in the middle

0:36

of Big Brat Summer, a bunch of A-listers

0:38

have topped the charts and new artists to

0:40

watch keep cropping up across the board. I'm

0:43

Rianna Cruz, producer of Switched on Pop.

0:45

And over at our show, we're currently

0:47

looking at two of the most interesting

0:50

records this year, Camila Cabello's CXOXO and

0:52

Empress Oves for your consideration. Both by

0:54

Latin artists, these pop records get a

0:56

little weird with it when it comes

0:58

to the sounds we know as Latin

1:00

pop. Tune in to Switched on Pop

1:03

to see what we mean. Presented by Prime Day.

1:05

Welcome to the Procteep pods office hours. This

1:07

is the part of the show where we

1:09

answer questions about business, big tech, entrepreneurship and

1:12

whatever else is on your mind. Hey, Proff

1:14

G. Hey, Scott and team. Hey, Scott. Hi,

1:16

Proff G. Hey, Proff G. Hey, Proff G.

1:18

Hi, Professor G. Now, last week's office hours, we

1:21

talked about Tesla, early career advice

1:23

and mentorship. I've

1:26

served on a bunch of boards. The most difficult thing,

1:28

hands down, is compensation. Do

1:31

your best to try and take the worst

1:33

part of other people's jobs off their plate

1:35

such that you become indispensable to them. Because

1:37

if you make their life easier, you're

1:40

gonna be indispensable. I never

1:42

explicitly asked anyone to be my mentor. What I did

1:44

was I would call people or I would say, can

1:46

I take you out to coffee? I'd love your advice

1:48

on some stuff. Today, we'll answer

1:50

your questions surrounding the defense industry, why greatness

1:53

is in the agency of others and

1:55

how to act if your partner makes more money

1:57

than you. I have not seen or heard these

1:59

questions.
