The Corporate Bartender

Holy. Cow. Today's episode is one of my favorites of 2023 so far! We're talking remote work, corporate culture, GitHub, Netflix, and breaking down boundaries. We've  got Barbie Brewer on the program today, and the conversation is epic!

If you don't know Barbie, we've got you, boo!

Barbie is a the author of the best-selling book "Lead and Let Live" and she's been a fixture in the Silicon Valley scene since the Dot Com era. She's been Chief Culture Officer at GitLab, VP of Talent at Netflix and she's got a lot to say about remote work and how to leverage it.

This conversation was fantastic, and I think you're all gonna dig it!

If you want to skip straight to the interview, 3:35 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.
