Thriving as the “Second Banana” - Dan and Nina discuss Al Roker

This Is Working with Daniel Roth

On this episode of This is Working, our hosts chat about Dan’s conversation with Today show weather anchor and beloved personality Al Roker. They touch on Al’s commitment to being the best at what he does, and taking the advice of his mentor Willard Scott on thriving at work without needing to be the so-called “top banana.” They also discuss whether you can truly plan out a career, and the pitfalls of bold ambition. Finally, they share a standout tidbit from Dan’s interview with Al that hinges on his passion for a famous 80s television show.

Nina and Dan offer their own insights and opinions - and we’re eager to hear yours as well.
