You ever feel like you’re doing all the “right” things at work—showing up, working your ass off, saying all the right things in meetings—yet you still feel invisible? Like success is just not happening the way it was supposed to?

Enter: The 50% Rule. My guest today, Erin Hatzikostas, is breaking down how ditching half the advice you’re given (yes, even from the experts) might just be the key to getting ahead without burning out.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
Why following the playbook is keeping you stuck
How to stand out without playing office politics
Why “just be yourself” is the worst career advice ever
The fastest way to make your work feel meaningful again

If you’re tired of doing everything right and still feeling like something’s missing, this episode is for you.
