Brittney Huff, director of operations for the City of Hudson Oaks, joins us to talk about some things you don't learn in grad school. Also introducing a new segment: I Literally Can't Even.

- Wearing multiple hats as an assistant-to-the-city-manager in a small town.
- Learning how to make decisions.
- How do you handle managing in a field where you don't have a great deal of technical expertise?

Plus a discussion of things about which we literally can't even.
