What is Below the Surface?

Below the Surface is a show about what the world's best companies are doing right now to build high-performing teams. Each episode, Joelle Emerson (co-founder and CEO of Paradigm) talks with a leader who's rethinking people, talent, and culture. Conversations consider how AI is reshaping work, what hiring should look like as organizations evolve, and how to create the conditions for performance. If your work touches people, talent, or culture, this one's for you.

Joelle Emerson:

The job of the people team is being rewritten in real time. AI is reshaping how work gets done, who gets hired, how teams are structured, and what high performance even looks like. And the leaders shaping these decisions don't have a playbook. They're writing it. This is Below the Surface, where we talk to the most innovative leaders defining the future of people, talent, and culture.
