LunchClub: Taking the Work Outta Networking
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I put on my best professional attire, hopped in my beater of a car, and tottled into a semi-fancy, networking event at a beautiful LA rooftop. Excited that I might actually network my way to my dream job, I wearily, and in excruciating detail, explained the ups and downs of my life’s journey to the first person who actually approached me to talk. When I finished, I was exhausted (It takes a LOT to condense all 30+ years of your life into a five-minute soliloquy). And the poor woman who’d deigned to talk to me was shell-shocked. As we backed away from each other slowly, I realized that maybe, just maybe, I was approaching networking very, very wrong.

Your May/June Playlist
Years ago, as a twenty-something Popsy new to the City of Angels, one of the hallmarks of summer season was the annual UCLA Jazz Reggae Fest. Held every Memorial Day weekend for the past thirty-four years, the festival was always a much lauded event for me and my crew. It was an opportunity to not only enjoy some of the greatest musical acts in the country at the time, but was also a great chance to catch up with my girls, flirt with a cute guy or two, and herald the beginning of summertime joys like day parties, pool parties, beach meet-ups, and weekend barbecues.
As an homage to this year’s Jazz Reggae Fest which will be happening virtually, our newest playlist perfectly intertwines neosoul jazz with chill r&b and pop tunes that tickle the ear in the best way possible. This playlist was made with long summer drives in mind and is filled with songs that invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beginning of long, sun-filled days and warm, heady nights. The full Spotify playlist is available here for your listening pleasure.
Enjoy, and Happy Memorial Day!
