Feeling overlooked at work?


Maybe you’ve played by the rules, stayed loyal, and watched others leapfrog ahead. In this episode, Ben Walters unpacks why so many professionals—especially Gen X—are being passed over for promotions and what to do about it.


Learn how to:

  • Assess your true standing in your company

  • Make your ambitions known (without burning bridges)

  • Recognize when it’s time to move on

  • Position yourself like a free agent in the job market

  • Prepare for entrepreneurship as the ultimate option
