Hello, everyone.
We are killing the weekly edition of Career Hangout.
It’s not that we don’t love helping people get back to work. It’s not that we don’t enjoy talking about careers. And we certainly love video technology.
Very simply, we have found that Google+ Hangouts are not the right format for creating community and discussing career development. And the technological challenges of running a show on a nascent platform have been tough.
As William Carlos Williams said:
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
If the Gods of the internet are happy — and you’ve gained favor with the Princess of Wifi — you can broadcast a live Google+ Hangout. If not, things go bad. Quickly.
We started this venture to do something fun and different. Also, we wanted to become better friends. All of that has happened, so this is a big win. We will also do quick videos on our blogs, Amplify Talent and The Cynical Girl, where we will riff about whatever is on our mind.
And we will call it CHO AFTER DARK because it cracks us up.
Career Hangout may come back at some point. In what form, we don’t now. For now, we bit you adieu. Our illustrious four-episode archive will be CHO’s legacy to the internets.
Thanks for your love and support. Thanks to our guests for helping us try out a new format. And thanks to Lance, Lizzie and Isaiah for developing and supporting the brand. Goodbye for now.
Love,
Laurie & Lars
We’re excited for Tuesday’s show with Ryan Paugh of the Young Entrepreneurs Council. Tomorrow also marks the beginning of CHO After Dark. Both will be great. Hope you can join us!

Hate your job? Wish you had a job you hated so you could dream about getting a new job? We’ve got a guest for you: Ryan Paugh.
Join us on Tuesday, October 9th at 11AM ET as we talk to Ryan about work, money, power, careers, generational differences and entrepreneurship.
See you then!
Tuesday’s show should be awesome. I will be at HR Tech with Lance — and Lars will be jetlagged from his own crazy travel. And we will have Ryan Paugh, a good buddy that I’ve known since his days at Brazen Careerist.
Ryan co-founded The Young Entrepreneur Council and he will be talking about how to be an entrepreneur as a job seeker or as a full-time employee under the thumb of your bossman. Although Ryan is Gen Y, whatever the hell that means, I have a feeling that those lessons will be good for all of us: old, young, employed, looking for a job, etc.
Here is his bio.
Ryan told me — LAURIE, I SUCK AT BIOS. YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO EDIT THIS TO MAKE ME SOUND MORE EXCITING.
Ryan Paugh builds online communities. He’s the Co-Founder and Chief Of Staff for the Young Entrepreneur Council, an invite-only community for the world’s top, young entrepreneurs. In partnership with Citi, the YEC recently launched #StartupLab, a free virtual mentorship program that helps millions of entrepreneurs start and grow businesses via live video chats, an expert content library and email lessons. He also Co-Founded Brazen Careerist which help hundreds of employers identify, engage with and hire top talent, and helps universities connect their students and alumni with each other and with top employers around the world.
I just did, baby.
You can find him here.
Ryan inspires me to be better at my job and my life. For real.
