The Corporate Bartender

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!

Innovation is a skill in which a lot of company's strive to excel. Ever wonder why some are really good at it, and some (no matter how hard they try) just can't get it to stick? This is true for tech, for products, and for the people side of business. If you find innovation remotely interesting, you're in the right spot!

We've got Robyn Bolton on the program. Don't know Robyn? Stick around! She's awesome!

Robyn is the Founder and Chief Navigator at Mile Zero, a consultancy that helps companies to hone their innovation chops. Robyn has worked with Clayton Christensen, so her innovation credentials are legit! She also helped develop and launch really cool products like Swiffer and Swiffer WetJet. 

She's been featured in Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, the New York Times, and she's the author of, Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide to Turning Bold Ideas Into Tangible Results."

This was a fantastic conversation, it was a blast to have Robyn back on the show, and I think you're gonna dig it!

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.
