Side Quest with Lou and Joe
What really happens when two young professionals step off the main path and throw themselves into the chaos, comedy, and curveballs of work and life? That’s Sidequest with Lou and Joe - unfiltered, unpredictable, and unapologetically real.
Every week, Joe Shannon and Louisianna Giumelli share stories from the trenches of business, entrepreneurship, and everyday professional life. From office renos gone rogue to late-night “what if” career chats, from traffic jams turned productivity hacks to honest conversations about workplace culture...absolutely nothing’s off limits.
Think of it as your weekly detour: sometimes funny, sometimes raw, always relatable. It’s proof that the best parts of the journey often come from the sidequests.
So buckle up, hit follow, and join Joe and Lou for the ride. See you on the next quest.

EP 9: Side Quest Debrief, Listener Feedback & Gaslighting
It's the (maybe) season finale!
Ever been dismissed, diminished, or made to question your own reality? Have you ever been gaslit professionally? Joe and Lou are tackling a massive and personal topic: Gaslighting.
But first, they're "sharing the love"! Diving into your feedback and find out why the show is being called the "ultimate girls group chat". They get real about the fear and reward of dropping the professional mask, being "silly goofy", and how it's inspired listeners to start their own new quests.
From videographers who tell them not to "get so emotional" about their own business to the infuriatingly common "you're being hysterical" comments women are trained to accept. Joe and Lou share their raw, personal stories.
Hear their shocking stories of employers who tried to question their value and rewrite reality. They finish by sharing their top tips on how to build the "muscle" of advocating for yourself and reclaim your power by calling it out.
Plus, a massive "toot toot" to the king of authenticity, Justin Merindino!
This is 'The Sidequest' where the adventure continues, blending humour with honesty and a truckload of tangents.
