The Corporate Bartender

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

"Rub some Dirt On It" is a thing of the past. Kicking off a career out of school is a different animal than it was when us GenXers were coming up. The Dr. Cox approach (if you remember that character from Scrubs) doesn't fly these days, and kinds coming up today didn't have the same set of experiences that we did. The pandemic changed a lot of this.

Well, if you have kids, or know someone who's about to launch, you're in for a treat. We've got Jenny Lavey on the program today. Jenny's a lifer in HR, co-host of the podcast, "WTF is Business Casual," and is the co-founder of Rise HR. Oh! And she's an OG TCB'er!!

This conversation was a BANGER, and I know 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.
