    He's here! He's there! He's everywhere! Mike Pierce! I sat down recently with my good friend and HR colleague, Mike Pierce, to talk about relationshiping, the power of our networks and the great work he's doing with DallasHR, one of the largest SHRM chapters in the Unites States. Mike is a lot of things, but I think of him as an educator. He's incredibly knowledgeable about his craft (employee benefits) and he shares his knowledge readily and makes it easy to consumable in language that's easy to understand. I hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we had having it. Mike Pierce is a Vice President at Lockton, the world’s largest independent insurance brokerage.

    Episode 22: A Conversation with Me

    Am I talking to myself? Why, yes. Yes, I am. A year ago today, I launched this podcast and published my very first episode. I thought it would be good to take a few moments and reflect on the lessons learned, where I've come from, how my podcast has evolved and where I want to take it next. I have loved every moment of this journey and I'm excited to see where it will take me and the new people that I'll meet along the way. Creating content like this has stretched me in ways that I was unfamiliar with and I feel like I've tapped into a part of me that I've never known. I'm blessed to have some amazing people in my life that I've been able to introduce to listeners and share their stories and the great work they're doing through my podcast. I'm excited about what's to come in 2020 and hope that you'll tune in and join me! www.6degreesorless.com www.sethmccolley.com
