THANK YOU:
Intro and Theme song for Tom’s Engaging HR is “Better” by Break Signals. Break Signals just released their first studio album “A Steady Frequency” and it absolutly rocks, check it out here: Break Signals: A Steady Frequency
Fun fact, the song “That Guy”, which is also on the album, was inspired by a magician that was hanging around outside The HR Technology Conference in 2022
Karl Pawlewicz: He was integral with helping with our logo, social media, and answering my 1,000 questions while building out the show. I appreciate you and your friendship for over 20 years, you’re the man! -

Episode 249 - Jon & Wendy welcome back Steve Browne again
We welcome back our #2 fan, Steve Browne! Steve was our first guest and being our last guest seemed appropriate. We discuss the successes and challenges he's faced in redesigning LaRosa's people operations, the status of his third book, and what he's learned from the podcast over the years. This was silly, a little emotional, and all around fun.
