About this episode

Eliza Jackson discusses the importance of workplace energy and culture in fostering belonging and connection among employees.

What if the secret to a thriving workplace isn't perks or policies, but the energy people feel the moment they walk in? 🔋 In this eye-opening episode, Kristi sits down with Eliza Jackson, Chief People & Operations leader at ButcherBox, to explore what she calls "the vibe" that powerful blend of energy, emotional connection, and environment that determines whether people feel like they belong or want to run for the door. Eliza takes us through her non-linear journey: from high-pay finance roles to a drastic pivot into education after one life-changing moment inside a community school circle in Brooklyn. That experience taught her how culture can ignite purpose even when it comes with a 75 percent pay cut and 4 a.m. alarm clocks. This episode challenges leaders, builders, and teammates everywhere to rethink what culture really is: not a program or a policy, but the everyday energy we bring to each other, one collision, one conversation, one human moment at a time.
