Grossly Competent
Join Steve Counsell and Patrick Aleshire, your faithful - yet hideous - hosts as they share their love of Learning, Adulting, and all that is absurd in their world. If you like learning about careers, adult education, or just making fun of LinkedInfluencers, look no further!. Somewhere along the way, you'll no doubt feel better-looking and more competent than ever after listening.
Come for the chat, stay for the laughs, and run from their faces: they're Grossly Competent.
