It isn't booming. It's something in between. Every week brings another contradictory headline. Companies are investing billions in AI while slowing hiring.

Anita breaks down why high-performing teams aren’t about talent density, charisma, or motivation, but about coordination, goal clarity, and participation—most of which is... | 45m 16s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | Ownership Works: When All Employees Own a Piece of The Upside w/ Anna-Lisa Miller | Send us Fan Mail Why are we still treating wealth-building at work like a VIP perk?

So the real question isn’t just how fast we adopt AI—it’s how we balance ambition with reality, timelines, people, and humanity. In this episode, we sit down with Wendy Miller, Chief HR Officer for North America at McKinsey & Company, to talk about what balancing AI ambition and reality actual... | 39m 42s | ||||||

| 10/22/25 | New Week, New Headlines: AI Joins Your Performance Review, and Sam Altman Says Your Job Wasn’t Real | Send us Fan Mail First: AI is now sliding into your performance reviews. Forbes says it’s here to “remove bias” and “automate feedback.” We say… careful what you outsource. Because when algorithms start coaching humans, you risk losing the part that actually makes feedback work — connection, trust, and care. Then: OpenAI’s Sam Altman claimed that if AI wipes out your job, maybe it wasn’t real work to begin with. Uh, scuzi? We unpack the arrogance behind that take, the history of who decides ... | 18m 49s | ||||||

That’s because culture isn’t the same as community. One happens whether you shape it or not. The other takes intention, safety, and a shared purpose. In this episode of Your Work Friends, we sit down with DeMario Bell—community strategist, speaker, and founder of Gatherful, who’s spent over a decade building communities across higher ed, startups, and global enterprise, including leading Culture Amp’s 100,00... | 41m 06s | ||||||
