Welcome to The HR Misfits — the podcast for people who care about work, leadership, and humans… but are tired of the corporate script. This is where HR, leadership, and workplace culture get real. Every episode dives into the messy, meaningful, and often unspoken side of work — from people leaders and founders to operators, creatives, and career rebels who don’t fit neatly in a box.
We talk about the moments that shape leaders, the systems that need rethinking, and the stories behind policies, power, burnout, belonging, and growth. No buzzwords. No performative culture talk. Just honest conversations about what it actually takes to build workplaces that work for people.
If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in the “professional” version of work — welcome to the misfits. You’re one of us.

Culture doesn’t start with HR. It starts with whoever’s at the top.
And when leadership is the problem, no amount of HR programming, culture initiatives, or team offsites is going to fix it.
This week we’re talking about Ryan Breslow, Bolt, and the very uncomfortable conversation about leadership accountability that most people in HR are having behind closed doors. We just chose to have it on a podcast.
