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.
