What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!
We're keeping the ball rollin' and cranking out new, awesome TCBs for you as we round the corner into 'the holidays.'
As 'people side of the business' people, we're always looking toward the next disaster. This week I go mano a mano with disaster preparedness expert, Patrick Hardy on the program. If Patrick is new to you, we've got your back!
When disaster strikes and biz continuity is on the line, Patrick is the guy you want in your corner! He's got just about every FEMA certification you can imagine, he's got a framework to help you get ready, and he's a hoot to hang out with! He's also the author of, Design Any Disaster - The Revolutionary Blueprint to Master Your Next Crisis or Emergency."
Oh, and he's got a YouTube channel where he takes on disaster challenges. You can watch him rescue 230 cats or give CPR for over 20 hours (a world record)! What????
This conversation was a FANTASTIC, we talked some serious shit, and laughed a bunch. You know what I always say, and, yes, I think you're gonna dig it!
If you wanna skip straight to the interview,
4:11 is your spot.

What is The Corporate Bartender?
The Corporate Bartender is where people leaders come to think out loud.
Hosted by Eric and Lori Spencer, this long-running show is part podcast, part professional community, and part midweek reset for HR, Talent, L&D, and business leaders navigating the human side of work.
Each episode features thoughtful conversations with trusted experts and guest “bartenders” on timely leadership and workplace topics — from culture and burnout to organizational change, psychological safety, and what’s actually working right now.
It’s smart, practical, and intentionally human… with just enough humor to remind us we’re all still people.
Pull up a stool — there’s always an open seat at the bar.
