The Corporate Bartender - Burnout Is Everywhere, What Are You Gonna Do About It? with Johanna Danaher

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender! Navigating a career keeps getting harder and harder, and it's a LOT of work! We've got to be ready for the twists and turns and inevitable burnout that comes with it. That's what we're talking about today.  We've got Johanna Danaher on the program. If you don't know Johanna, stick around, we've got you covered! She was a wannabe marine biologist, bartender(!), gig worker, and an HR lifer. She's been there, done that, and got the t-shirts. This conversation was fantastic, and I know you're gonna dig it. You'll learn about lobsters, burnout, and the drink called "the Johanna."

The Corporate Bartender - Looking For a New Gig is Different in 2026 with the TCB Crew

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender! Pull up a stool, settle in, and let’s talk shop for a minute. Around here we spend a lot of time unpacking the messy reality of work - the leadership moments, the career pivots, the things that look simple on LinkedIn but feel a whole lot different in real life. And today? We’re getting into one of the topics that’s quietly stressing out a lot of very smart people right now: finding your next gig in 2026. Because let’s be honest - the job search game has changed. Resumes are getting screened by AI. Interviews sometimes feel like you’re talking to a robot…because sometimes you are. And everyone seems to be asking the same question: How do you actually stand out when the algorithms are also applying for the job? So Lori grabbed the mic and opened it up to the TCB Crew. What followed was a real conversation about the highs, the headaches, and the strategy behind navigating a job search right now - from networking that actually works, to the emotional rollercoaster of the process, to how AI is both helping and absolutely messing with the system. It’s thoughtful. It’s practical. And like most Crew conversations around here… it’s also pretty damn honest. Because the reality is this: careers are getting less predictable, the rules keep shifting, and trying to figure it out solo is a fast path to yelling at your laptop. And around here, we don’t do that alone.

The Corporate Bartender - Year Six: The TCB Re-Launch Episode with the TCB Crew

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender! If you’ve been hanging around this bar for a while, you know this has never just been a podcast — it’s been a room. A room where HR nerds, L&D folks, consultants, and people leaders, pull up a stool and actually talk about what’s going on at work. And today? We’re officially kicking off the TCB relaunch! Year Six. New energy. Same soul. We break down what’s changing — a more intentional cadence, thoughtfully curated Guest Bartenders, a clearer focus on high-signal conversations — and what is absolutely not changing: the Crew, the candor, and the community-first vibe. We even wrote a TCB Crew Charter. That’s right. We put the vibe in writing. And then we opened it up to the room. The conversation was honest, funny, thoughtful — and a really strong reminder that leadership is getting more complex, and nobody wants to figure it out alone. Oh, and don’t worry — Last Call is alive and well. The internet still gets weird, the humans still get good, and the cocktails still get…distributed. Let's GO!

The Corporate Bartender - On Not Being An Asshole (Relationships Are Everything!) with Todd Schuchart

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender! If you know SkyeTeam or TCB, you've heard us say it a hundred times - Relationships Matter. You've probably heard of the "no asshole rule" too. We're going to get into that by taking ownership of it.  We've got Todd Schuchart on the program today. If you don't know Todd, stick around, he rules. He's a 'certified goofball' (note the squid hat), he's an expert in life insurance sales and lead generation. If you think that might be out of the lane for TCB, you're not wrong, but insurance sales is all about relationships. In building, developing, and deepening relationships - not being an asshole is critical.  This conversation was epic. If you are interested in building relationships, and want to laugh a ton, this is the ticket! I laughed out loud SO many times when producing this episode. Oh, and we've got some big changes upcoming to the show, and will be kicking those off on February 4th at 4p MT. If you don't know the show link, and wanna come - reach out, we'll hook you up!
