Episode 25: Real Talk: Stress, Mental Health & Support That Actually Helps

Mental health affects all of us—but it’s not always easy to talk about. In this episode, we’re joined by SupportLinc for a real conversation about stress, burnout, mental wellness, and what support actually looks like when life gets overwhelming. We also break down what SupportLinc offers beyond counseling, including help with finances, legal concerns, family needs, and everyday life challenges. Because sometimes support looks like therapy… and sometimes it looks like help finding a plumber.

Episode 24: Safety Isn't Luck

Safety isn’t luck — it’s awareness. In this episode of The Pulp, we’re joined by Jayson Scott and Jo DeLio to talk about near misses, why reporting matters, and how small warning signs can prevent bigger incidents. We break down what a near miss really is, what happens after you report one, and how speaking up helps protect your coworkers and your team. Because the safest workplaces aren’t built by chance — they’re built by people who pay attention and take action.

Episode 23: Retention is a Daily Decision

Retention doesn’t happen by accident. In this episode of The Pulp, we’re talking about what really drives employees to stay or leave — especially in those first 30 to 90 days. From first impressions and attendance culture to leadership consistency and training follow-through, we break down the everyday moments that make the biggest impact. Because retention isn’t just about hiring… it’s about what happens next.

Episode 22: Operational Discipline: Doing the Small Things Right

In this episode of The Pulp, we take a step back to refocus on the fundamentals. Converting margins don’t come from big, flashy changes—they come from precision, repeatability, and doing the small things right every day. February is the perfect time to reset expectations, reinforce good habits, and talk openly about where discipline shows up on the floor: setup accuracy, preventive maintenance, attendance reliability, and catching quality issues early before they turn into bigger problems.

Episode 21: Hands On, Hearts In

We’re kicking off season two of The Pulp by focusing on impact. In this episode, Bob and Maddie introduce ProCon’s new Volunteer Time Off policy, talk about why giving back matters, and share simple ways employees can support their communities — including blood donation. We also debut a new in-house training video series designed to bring our policies and procedures to life using real ProCon team members. A strong start to the year, together.
