Imagine finally landing a great job offer, only to have it snatched away the moment you try to negotiate. It sounds like a nightmare, yet one man shared in a workshop that it happened to him twice when he tried to negotiate: “I got two job offers revoked.”
It’s a story that sparks an immediate question we all secretly worry about: Could this happen to me?
In this episode, I dig into this very fear. Why do some negotiations end in failure, while others don’t? Is it the act of negotiating that kills the deal, or something deeper about how we do it?
Drawing from real-life stories, research on backlash, and painfully honest examples (including the man behind the infamous “two revoked offers”), I explore what actually goes wrong, and how to protect yourself when you negotiate.

#26 “I Got Two Job Offers Revoked”—Could This Happen to You?
Tue, 02 Sep 2025Episode 15 Replay: Summer Gatherings & Family Tensions: Why Negotiating with Family Feels So Hard
Thu, 24 Jul 2025This might be a replay episode, but the topic is truly evergreen. After all, if you’re part of a family system, you’ll almost always find yourself negotiating—whether you realize it or not. And summer is one of those occasions that bring it to the surface.
Summertime means time with family and relatives, and knowing your family, you might want to equip yourself with ideas and strategies to handle those tricky conversations: where to meet, what to eat, who hosts, and what topics to avoid at the table.
When I recorded this episode, my goal was to share why negotiating with family can feel so uniquely difficult—and what to do about it.
In it, I walk through real examples of everyday family negotiations, explore the hidden dynamics that make them challenging, and share practical tools you can use right away. Whether you’re sorting out holiday plans, caregiving responsibilities, or just trying to keep the peace, these insights can help you navigate conflict and stay connected to the people you love.
Want to keep family visits from turning into battlegrounds?
Tune in to hear how you can set boundaries, manage emotional triggers, and handle those inevitable “why aren’t you married yet?” questions.

#24 SPECIAL: Grade the Negotiator: Harvard vs. Trump
Thu, 05 Jun 2025What happens when the world’s most powerful government takes aim at one of its most prestigious universities?
What does negotiation look like when brute force meets institutional resilience?
On this episode of Grade the Negotiator, we explore the high-stakes standoff between the Trump administration and Harvard University—a situation that quickly escalated from policy pressure to legal warfare, all under the guise of combating antisemitism on college campuses.
This isn’t just about politics—it’s about negotiation strategy, misuse of power, public perception, and the consequences of underestimating your opponent.

#23 From Self-Doubt to Confidence: One Woman’s Journey to Becoming a Savvy Negotiator
Thu, 22 May 2025Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m so bad at negotiating”? You’re not alone.
Many professionals—especially women—find negotiations intimidating, often citing discomfort, lack of information, or fear of backlash as reasons to avoid them altogether.
Negotiation isn’t something you’re born knowing how to do. It’s a skill that, like any other, can be learned and refined.
In this episode, we hear from Mya, a government professional based in Los Angeles, who once shared those same fears. Now, five years later, she reflects on her transformation from hesitant to empowered negotiator.
Let’s break down the key lessons from this powerful conversation.
