Rejected Or Selected

Unplugged 2

Another unplanned, unscripted, (mostly) unedited episode of RoS this week - it's Unplugged 2. Listen in as Deany and Simon discuss everything in and around their work lives including what's going on personally: Did Simon flatline in the emergency ward? What interesting and somewhat racist encounter did Deany have in Paris? How can someone go 44 years of their life without realising they have dual citizenship? It's all here and more in this week's unplugged episode of Rejected or Selected.

Rare Exotic Animal

We have another special guest on Rejected or Selected and this week they don't hold back! Daisy Wong joins us to discuss her personal journey and career, from project coordination to now Cyber Culture and Awareness specialist, Daisy has dealt with plenty of bullshit over the years, and she enjoys telling us all about it. From being treated like she's a rare exotic animal, to being undermined by previous bosses and co-workers, Daisy gives us insight as to just what it's like living with a disability in Corporate Australia.

Fear, Failure, and Fraud

A true master at what he does, Shil Shanghavi is one of the world's most prolific public speakers and public speaking coaches. In our 6th episode for 2026 and first show with a guest for this year, Shil speaks authentically and genuinely about his journey from a 10 year old with a stutter and a dream to stages all around the world where he has spoken with leaders and people from all walks of life. Deany and Simon discuss Shil's mastery of public speaking, the way he manages his stutter and his imposter syndrome, and his love for Manchester United. You can find out more about Shil here www.shilshanghavi.com and you can also watch the documentary film made about him right here https://youtu.be/O73eDeg4-VY?si=5XRpkkUvsDO7G02C ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Unplugged

It's finally come to this, our first unplanned, unscripted and "unplugged" (I mean, what even is "unplugged" these days, we're not Nirvana, this isn't Madison Square Garden, and it's not 1994) Well, if you managed to ignore all of that, then Deany and Simon have a treat for you as our raw conversation takes a turn from LinkedIn algorithms, enshittification, and how people with ADHD are propping up the digital economy. There's something for (almost) everyone in this week's edition and our first ever unplugged episode of Rejected or Selected. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

You're Not A Culture Fit

In this episode of RoS Deany asks Simon to recount a time that he was told he simply wasn't a culture fit when rejected for a job. The team discusses what this term means and the possible reasons as to why it's used so often in Corporate Australia. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
