The Corporate Bartender

Let's keep the 2025 TCB machine a-rollin'!

AI is all over the place these days, and we're gonna unpack the "is it Skynet or is it going to help" question - just a little bit.

We've got the Nada Sanders on the program today! Don't know Nada? We've got your back!

What if the future isn’t about bits and bytes replacing humans, but about something more revolutionary—machines and humans merging to create a new kind of business superintelligence? The secret to thriving in the AI era isn’t about investing in smart tech—it’s about creating a “humachine,” a smarter system of human-machine collaborations. 

In her book The Humachine: AI, Human Virtues, and the Superintelligent Enterprise, she provides a roadmap to help business leaders, executives, and managers recognize and unlock the potential of human-machine partnerships.

This conversation was a a blast, we did it from the road in Richmond, Virginia, and you know, I think you're gonna dig it!

If you wanna skip straight to the interview, 2:57 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.
