SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
3:00 - Who do you think of when you think of ‘veteran hire’? The gang has automatic comparisons to movies.
6:00 - It’s our one year anniversary! Episode 52 marks a year of HR Famous. We can’t believe it!
8:00 - What percentage of the podcasts have you listened to? JLee has listened to them all and KD has listened to about 70% of them.
8:40 - Time for a look behind the scenes of HR Famous. Tim says that they often have pre-podcast chats that might get them canceled…
11:30 - Tim asked the crew what they’ve learned from doing the pod. JLee says that she has to trust herself to wing it and she doesn’t always have to have a super well thought out point of view.
13:30 - Do you listen to the podcast AND read Tim’s, KD’s, and JLee’s writing? Tim has found that there’s not as much crossover as you’d think.
17:45 - Would you believe that the only person that’s cried on the podcast is KD? Tears of joy but still tears nonetheless.
20:00 - The podcast started out with the intention of being a little bit more fun but because of when the podcast started, the topics were more serious and timely.
21:45 - There is a lost episode! JLee describes the second or third episode where they discussed periods in the workplace.
24:30 - Tim always thought that he was late to the podcast gang. During the pandemic, there was a massive rise in podcasts and now everyone and their brother has a podcast!
27:00 - Shoutout to our amazing guests! We love you Dawn, Laurie, Cameron, and all our other awesome pod friends!
28:00 - JLee was KD’s first editor at Fistful of Talent and so they have a long history together. Tim and JLee have just gotten closer in the last few years.
32:30 - KD asks JLee if she ever is drawn to certain things because she’s not getting enough feedback in her life.
36:00 - KD asks JLee what she wishes she knew before doing the podcast with Tim and himself. She says she didn’t know she’d have so much fun and she didn’t know how much of a difference a good microphone could make.
42:00 - JLee hopes that listeners of the podcast give some grace to the crew because a lot of the topics of the past year were really difficult and nuanced.
