Laura Baginski, of Earlybirds Club, joins Amy and Sitaara to dive deep into NPN’s popular email, the NPN Weekly. We talk about the amazing vibes of Earlybirds Club and relocating for incentives. We touch on the 450% increase in birth rate for women over the age 45 and the ups and downs of parenting at any age. We also discuss the mindboggling statistic that nearly 20% of recent college graduates are bringing their parents to job interviews with them and talk through a post on the NPN forum that asks whether it is ok or not for a parent to make the initial inquiry about a job for their teen. Finally, we find time to discuss the goose in Wrigley Field. Listen to find out which one of us thought geese had teeth.
