There are those jobs that tend to milk you for minimal rewards, no vacation time, no sick days and to add on to that list, no medical insurance. Until it dawned on Adam Corolla (bestselling author, actor, comedian and host of “The Adam Corolla Show” – a show that holds the Guinness World Record for Most Downloaded Podcast) that this was a sucker’s game, that is exactly what was happening to him… toiling his life away at construction sites, and for what? So he decided to look for alternatives.

As Adam puts it, no matter how much you are earning per hour, if you must come in to earn it, and earn nothing when you are sick, it’s a losing proposition and an uneven exchange.
In this episode, Adam shows us how we can break the cycle and the medieval blue collar hourly rate mentality, what one can gain by running towards their fears and much more… Listen, learn and enjoy!

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!
