All summer long, on Wednesdays, you can hear Brickey and the Circle of Trust break down an episode-wide topic of a problem and listen to members of the Circle of Trust share what their situation may be, whether it's professional, personal, or just for fun.

In today's episode, Brickey asks everyone about career traps. Inspired by Jason Edmiston's episode AID1384, Jason spoke about being trapped in a project where he dreams of it going away every day. Today's guests talk about their career traps like not navigating interoffice politics successfully and learning how to say no. Being more selective of the projects you take on and realizing that freelance itself was the trap, so it was time to take that full-time job.
