The Rowbo Show

This week, Mark and Joe follow up on the counter-offer conversation with stories and insights from listeners. Then they pull back the curtain on a hidden truth in the job market: not all job postings are real. With 39% of companies admitting to publishing fake listings in the past year, it’s more than just misleading—it’s strategic data harvesting. From collecting your email and employment history to selling your info, some postings are just bait. Learn how to spot the signs of a fake job ad and protect yourself in a marketplace where data is currency and not every opportunity is what it seems.

The Rowbo Show | #013 - Fake Jobs & Real Risks

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark and Joe take a closer look at the rising trend of quiet quitting—where employees stay on the job but mentally check out. From doing the bare minimum to avoiding extra responsibilities, quiet quitting has become a modern response to burnout, disengagement, and shifting workplace values. We explore its impact on productivity, company culture, and long-term retention—and more importantly, what leaders can do to re-engage their teams. Whether it’s a cry for better work-life balance or a warning sign of deeper issues, this episode breaks down the causes, consequences, and solutions behind the quiet quitting movement.

The Rowbo Show | #014 - The Rise of Quiet Quitting

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark and Joe kick things off with a real-world look at selling a small business—highlighting a $50,000 offer to find a buyer for a blueberry farm. Mark offers a free consultation to the farm owner and shares insights on how to evaluate and approach the sale of an active business. The conversation then turns back to the evolving role of AI—this time touching on its influence in recruiting, résumé writing, and even the diamond industry. From lab-grown gems to the ethical concerns surrounding blood diamonds, Mark and Joe explore how technology is reshaping age-old industries. They also dive into a father’s concern over his daughter’s $18,000 investment in an online cybersecurity certification—and what students today should know about education and career planning in the AI age. It’s another packed episode full of real talk, modern dilemmas, and the unexpected intersections between tech and work.

The Rowbo Show | #015 - Diamonds and Duds

Mark and Joe take a pause this week to reflect on the journey so far—what The Rowbo Show is really about, and why it’s resonating with listeners. From spoofing scams and AI in hiring to fake job postings, interview disasters, burning Teslas, Waymo’s driverless cars, and the evolving workplace, they recap key highlights from the first 15 episodes. Along the way, they revisit memorable moments like the Costa Rica drug story, the rise of quiet quitting, and even smoking in the office in 1979. Joe gives listeners a peek behind the curtain into how the show is produced (plus some movie clip magic), and Mark shares a few fun facts—like the four most expensive colleges in the world. Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to the show, this episode is a great way to catch up, laugh a little, and get to know what makes The Rowbo Show tick.
