Introducing The People of Work

Curious about what it's really like to do someone else's job?

I'm Ami Graves, and in The People of Work, I sit down with people from all walks of life - nurses, entrepreneurs, artists, teachers, and more - to share the real stories behind their careers. We talk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

This podcast is about the human side of work: finding purpose, navigating chaos, and building a career that matters. If you’re feeling stuck or just love authentic stories, The People of Work is for you. Tune in, one story at a time.

What is The HR Misfits?

Welcome to The HR Misfits — the podcast for people who care about work, leadership, and humans… but are tired of the corporate script. This is where HR, leadership, and workplace culture get real. Every episode dives into the messy, meaningful, and often unspoken side of work — from people leaders and founders to operators, creatives, and career rebels who don’t fit neatly in a box.

We talk about the moments that shape leaders, the systems that need rethinking, and the stories behind policies, power, burnout, belonging, and growth. No buzzwords. No performative culture talk. Just honest conversations about what it actually takes to build workplaces that work for people.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in the “professional” version of work — welcome to the misfits. You’re one of us.
New episodes weekly!

It’s not about the destination; it’s about the story. Through honest conversations, we’ll uncover the moments that define careers, the challenges overcome, and the lessons learned along the way. These are real stories from real people, celebrating the diversity of work and the individuality of the people behind it.

Join us as we break down stereotypes, embrace the unexpected, and shine a light on the human side of work.
