    Episode Four: Alex Atwood, Executive Chairman at Gravy Work

    Staffing has always been part of Alex Atwood’s DNA. His grandfather, parents, and extended family all built staffing businesses, and Alex grew up in the industry. Instead of following the traditional path, he launched the Hospitality Training Institute, bringing in-person training to an industry defined by seasonal, shift-based work. That foundation became the springboard for GravyWork, his tech-enabled platform that reduces no-shows, onboards workers in minutes, and gives clients real-time transparency into every shift. In this episode of Great Work, Alex and host Kirti Shenoy explore: Why hospitality staffing requires unique skills—and how in-person training drives loyalty The limitations of traditional staffing models vs. tech-enabled transparency How GravyWork balances people-first service with data-driven operations What industries most need flexible staffing—and how to sell them on the model Whether you’re running a staffing company, leading a hospitality business, or simply curious how tech is reshaping shift work, this conversation offers candid insights from a founder who’s lived staffing across generations.

    In this episode of Great Work, Kirti Shenoy sits down with Shane Brown, CEO of nurseIO — a healthcare staffing marketplace bridging the gap between facilities in need and clinicians seeking flexibility. Drawing on nearly 30 years in medical technology, Shane shares how his team is rethinking the traditional staffing model with AI-driven onboarding in under 24 hours, transparent market-based pay rates, and same-day pay that makes a real difference for caregivers. They dive into the challenges hospitals and nursing homes face in balancing budgets, maintaining morale, and meeting growing patient demand — and how Nurse.io’s approach helps both sides win. Shane also talks expansion strategy, lessons from building a bootstrap company, and why supply-side quality matters most in staffing marketplaces. If you want a candid look at how technology, AI, and empathy can reshape healthcare staffing, this conversation delivers.
