Joel Fleischman Happy Hour Podcast

We sat down with Adam Rupp and Becca Schumacher from Wisconsin Lighting Lab - two awesome humans building something special right here in Wisconsin. We talked about the story behind WiLL Brew Lab, the evolution of their campus, core values, and what it really means to be a team member who makes promises and the one who keeps promises. We also dove into leadership, mindset shifts in manufacturing, and a little bit about their own WiLLCast podcast. Grab a cold one and give it a listen - this one’s full of light (pun intended)!

From a time when we had no HR department to a robust People & Talent team, Caitlin Stoll's 13-year journey at Drexel is an incredible story of growth, trust, and transformation. In this episode, we talk with Caitlin about how she turned a passion for people into a thriving career. She shares her personal story, from being hired to be a pressure reliever to being tapped by Joel to lead all People Operations. We also discuss a life-changing accident that gave her a new perspective on work and life, and the famous billboard that reminds us all to be someone's good memory. Join us for a conversation that goes beyond the professional, exploring how believing in people, and giving them a place for their passion and talent, can change everything.

In this episode, Joel shares the strategies that have allowed Drexel to thrive. He explains why words matter more than you think, how to focus on what you can control when faced with challenges, and why being a thoughtful innovator is better than being first. Tune in for practical lessons you can apply to your business, team, and life.Resources: The Change Agent by Damon West The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins Roadie.com

On this episode of the Happy Hour Podcast, we sit down with Drexel's leaders, Mitch Mallek and Mike Gullickson, to discuss what it truly takes to lead a team through change and growth. They share their journey from frontline and field roles to leadership and how they navigated the "growing pains" of their new positions. We'll get an inside look at their communication strategy in a fast-paced environment and how that impacts our core value of balance, what they've learned about leadership, and how they're building a stronger, more connected team in Amherst.Resources: Chop Wood, Carry Water by Joshua Medcalf
