Navigating a career keeps getting harder and harder, and it's a LOT of work! We've got to be ready for the twists and turns and inevitable burnout that comes with it. That's what we're talking about today. 

We've got Johanna Danaher on the program. If you don't know Johanna, stick around, we've got you covered!

She was a wannabe marine biologist, bartender(!), gig worker, and an HR lifer. She's been there, done that, and got the t-shirts.

This conversation was fantastic, and I know you're gonna dig it. You'll learn about lobsters, burnout, and the drink called "the Johanna."

Pull up a stool, settle in, and let’s talk shop for a minute. Around here we spend a lot of time unpacking the messy reality of work - the leadership moments, the career pivots, the things that look simple on LinkedIn but feel a whole lot different in real life.

And today? We’re getting into one of the topics that’s quietly stressing out a lot of very smart people right now: finding your next gig in 2026.

Because let’s be honest - the job search game has changed.

Resumes are getting screened by AI. Interviews sometimes feel like you’re talking to a robot…because sometimes you are. And everyone seems to be asking the same question: How do you actually stand out when the algorithms are also applying for the job?

So Lori grabbed the mic and opened it up to the TCB Crew.

What followed was a real conversation about the highs, the headaches, and the strategy behind navigating a job search right now - from networking that actually works, to the emotional rollercoaster of the process, to how AI is both helping and absolutely messing with the system.

It’s thoughtful. It’s practical. And like most Crew conversations around here… it’s also pretty damn honest.

Because the reality is this: careers are getting less predictable, the rules keep shifting, and trying to figure it out solo is a fast path to yelling at your laptop.

And around here, we don’t do that alone.

If you’ve been hanging around this bar for a while, you know this has never just been a podcast — it’s been a room. A room where HR nerds, L&D folks, consultants, and people leaders, pull up a stool and actually talk about what’s going on at work.

And today? We’re officially kicking off the TCB relaunch!

Year Six. New energy. Same soul.

We break down what’s changing — a more intentional cadence, thoughtfully curated Guest Bartenders, a clearer focus on high-signal conversations — and what is absolutely not changing: the Crew, the candor, and the community-first vibe.

We even wrote a TCB Crew Charter. That’s right. We put the vibe in writing.

And then we opened it up to the room.

The conversation was honest, funny, thoughtful — and a really strong reminder that leadership is getting more complex, and nobody wants to figure it out alone.

Oh, and don’t worry — Last Call is alive and well. The internet still gets weird, the humans still get good, and the cocktails still get…distributed.

Let's GO!

If you know SkyeTeam or TCB, you've heard us say it a hundred times - Relationships Matter. You've probably heard of the "no asshole rule" too. We're going to get into that by taking ownership of it. 

We've got Todd Schuchart on the program today. If you don't know Todd, stick around, he rules.

He's a 'certified goofball' (note the squid hat), he's an expert in life insurance sales and lead generation. If you think that might be out of the lane for TCB, you're not wrong, but insurance sales is all about relationships. In building, developing, and deepening relationships - not being an asshole is critical. 

This conversation was epic. If you are interested in building relationships, and want to laugh a ton, this is the ticket! I laughed out loud SO many times when producing this episode.

Oh, and we've got some big changes upcoming to the show, and will be kicking those off on February 4th at 4p MT. If you don't know the show link, and wanna come - reach out, we'll hook you up!

On this show we talk with a lot of authors, speakers, coaches, and subject matter experts about the people side of business. Today, we're going to do something a little different. We're going to talk with an amazing leader that actually USES the services our guests provide. We're calling this, "The Other Side Of The Bar!"

We've got Haris Shawl on the program today. Haris is a client of ours, and is a phenomenal leader.

He is the VP of Cyber Product Management at Capital One. Haris strives to be a noble-purpose leader and coach. He's self-aware, he knows how to leverage coaching and leadership development, and he refers to me and Ruby as "his woobie." We do need to mention that the opinions expressed here on the show are his own, and not those of any organization.

It's a thing I say a lot these days, but man, this conversation is one of my FAVORITES of 2025!   We covered a lot of ground, shared some amazing stories, and I just know you're gonna dig it!

Any of you ever feel SASSY? Lord knows, I do, but probably not in the way today's guest uses the term. She believes in it so much, she wrote a manifesto...a 'sassifesto,' if you will.

We've got Dr. L Carol Scott on the program today! Dr. Carol joined us here a couple of years ago, and we decided it was time to get together again, because the sassifesto has gotten a refresh and a new version has been released.

If you don't know Dr. Carol, stick around. She is a trauma-informed developmental psychologist, TEDx speaker, coach, and #1 International Best-Selling author. We talk about the things that happen to us between the ages of 1 and 7, and how pretty much what everyone learns about being a friend, colleague, mentor, or life partner is cooked by age 7. 7! We also talk brain science, development do-overs, and bringing back our social sanity.

We talk about using breaks as a way to regain control and get your mojo back. Burnout is a real thing. You know we take our self-care pretty seriously here at TCB, so this one is pretty relevant, and Laura's a hoot to hang out with!

As I like to say, this conversation was a blast, and I think you're gonna dig it!

AI is all over the place these days, and we're gonna unpack the "is it Skynet or is it going to help" question - just a little bit.

We've got the Nada Sanders on the program today! Don't know Nada? We've got your back!

What if the future isn’t about bits and bytes replacing humans, but about something more revolutionary—machines and humans merging to create a new kind of business superintelligence? The secret to thriving in the AI era isn’t about investing in smart tech—it’s about creating a “humachine,” a smarter system of human-machine collaborations. 

In her book The Humachine: AI, Human Virtues, and the Superintelligent Enterprise, she provides a roadmap to help business leaders, executives, and managers recognize and unlock the potential of human-machine partnerships.

This conversation was a a blast, we did it from the road in Richmond, Virginia, and you know, I think you're gonna dig it!

Happy New Year to everyone! Let's get 2025 off to a rip roaring start, shall we?

We've got the Lior Arussy on the show today! Don't know Lior? Well, you're in for a TREAT!

Ever wonder why some people come through challenges stronger and more successful, while for others it's a rough road?  Lior, who has done this a bunch of times, believes that the critical factor determining failure or success lies in the story people craft around their experiences.

In his new book, DARE TO AUTHOR! Take Charge of the Narrative of Your Life, he provides a reality check and a toolkit for taking charge of your life story, focusing on the power you possess, and using it to build the career and life you want.

There are so many golden nuggets in this one, you're gonna take a lot of notes! Go get the "good pen!"

I keep saying it, the AMAZING episodes just. Keep. Coming! DEI is one of the most prominent HR themes here in 2023. Organizations are wrestling with how to balance DEI initiatives with tactical day to day operations. There are voices in this conversation that need to be elevated, and boy do we have one of those voices here with us TODAY! We are so grateful, and just flat-out honored to have Buki Mosaku on the program! If you don't know Buki, no worries, today's your lucky day!

Buki is the founder and CEO of DiverseCity, a workplace bias and DEI consultancy. He is one of the world's foremost bias-navigation experts. He has cracked the code for calling out unconscious workplace bias, and stopping it in its tracks! He's a consultant, speaker, coach, and the author of I Don't Understand: Navigating Unconscious Bias in the Workplace.

Buki joined us from London, and because we do the show "live" he stayed up until after midnight to have this AMAZING conversation. We had a few issues with his transatlantic video (it resolves about 20 minutes in), but the audio is on point, throughout. 

This conversation was quite literally my FAVORITE of 2023 (so far), and I think you're all gonna really dig it!

So, what is TCB?

In these crazy days, I felt like we could all use some support, some community, some innovative people-side-of-the-business ideas, and of course, some cocktails. What started as a response to COVID19 has evolved into something much more meaningful. It's become an amazing group of people leaders from various industries who have come together as the world is changing to share ideas, some best practices, to learn from our mistakes, and build connection with others who are facing similar issues.

We are all about sharing at TCB. We share Learning & Development tools. We share updates to the legal landscape. We talk about issues facing our employees and our leadership teams. We interview innovative People Leaders who have cutting edge ideas. Oh, and we laugh. A lot!

I know what you're thinking. What is this thing? Is it another Zoom meeting? Is it a Podcast? Is it a show? What in the world am I getting into? It's all of those things and none of those things. Think of it as a video podcast with a live interactive audience. It's a community. It's a forum for ideas, meeting similar folks, and finding a little bastion of sanity in an exceedingly complex world. It's a breath of fresh air, and a respite from your grueling schedule - where you'll be in great company, and probably take away a few things that you can use at work...and in life each episode.

If you are an HR or People Leader in your organization, this is the place for you. You are welcome here!

So, what is TCB?

In these crazy days, I felt like we could all use some support, some community, some innovative people-side-of-the-business ideas, and of course, some cocktails. What started as a response to COVID19 has evolved into something much more meaningful. It's become an amazing group of people leaders from various industries who have come together as the world is changing to share ideas, some best practices, to learn from our mistakes, and build connection with others who are facing similar issues.

We are all about sharing at TCB. We share Learning & Development tools. We share updates to the legal landscape. We talk about issues facing our employees and our leadership teams. We interview innovative People Leaders who have cutting edge ideas. Oh, and we laugh. A lot!

I know what you're thinking. What is this thing? Is it another Zoom meeting? Is it a Podcast? Is it a show? What in the world am I getting into? It's all of those things and none of those things. Think of it as a video podcast with a live interactive audience. It's a community. It's a forum for ideas, meeting similar folks, and finding a little bastion of sanity in an exceedingly complex world. It's a breath of fresh air, and a respite from your grueling schedule - where you'll be in great company, and probably take away a few things that you can use at work...and in life each episode.

If you are an HR or People Leader in your organization, this is the place for you. You are welcome here!

I know what you're thinking. What is this thing? Is it another Zoom meeting? Is it a Podcast? Is it a show? What in the world am I getting into? It's all of those things and none of those things. It's a forum for ideas, meeting similar folks, and finding a little bastion of sanity in an exceedingly complex world. It's a breath of fresh air, and a respite from your grueling schedule - where you'll be in great company, and probably take away a few things that you can use at work...and in life each episode.

If you are an HR or People Leader in your organization, this is the place for you. You are welcome here!

Today, Lori walks the crew through the basics of GRIP and getting a handle on your (even virtual) meetings!
