Such an engaging podcast

I love the varied topics and love even more the way Traci creates conversations that meander and inform at the same time. If you haven’t listened yet - I highly recommend you do. Pick any one - it will inform and challenge you to think differently about the topic. I may be biased, but her latest podcast is with ME! I loved every minute of my conversation with Traci!

As a college student wanting to pursue a major in HR, this podcast has given me a better understanding from someone currently in the position I’d like to be in next year! It’s also great for anyone wanting a different outlook on HR. Definitely recommend, Traci does an excellent job covering all of the “bases” of HR in such a fun and creative way!

Fantastic first episode!

I really enjoyed the podcast. You shared many great insights into the value of HR, but I particularly liked the analogy of investing in mutual funds to demonstrate the financial impact of HR on a company’s bottom line. Not immediately visible, but rather attributable over time. Looking forward to next week’s episode!

GREAT Podcast!!

Would 100% recommend for people to listen!! Working at a Fortune 500 company I don’t always interact with HR that much but this definitely was an eye opener to the function and I truly learned so much. Cannot wait to learn more about the HR role and what it continues to offer that I don’t always see! 10/10!!
