In this episode, Allen chats with Nick Morrison, founder of Potere, and Teresa Marzolph, founder of Culture Engineered, on the subject of taking or making a counteroffer. This was originally recorded in July of 2021, and while it pre-dated a lot of the shift we’ve seen in the workplace, the interesting thing is how both my guests led with predictions for the near future that we are still seeing today.
