About this listen

Real workplace stories. Real HR decisions. Every workplace has that moment when someone says, "sounds like an HR problem." This is where we unpack what happens next. Each episode, we walk through a real situation and discuss what happened, how it was handled, what worked, what didn't, and what we'd do differently. The goal isn't perfection — it's perspective.

  • How We Accidentally Fell Into HR
    Apr 8 2026

    In our first episode, we're not diving into HR stories yet. We're just telling you who we are and how we both ended up in this world — because neither of us planned to.

    Yang's path started with a spectacularly bombed interview that sent him on a quest he didn't see coming. Ashley was supposed to be the next Hannah Storm on ESPN until reality (and student loans) had other plans. Somewhere along the way, both of us stumbled into HR and recruiting, worked at the same company, went our separate ways, and ended up right back here — doing this together.

    This one's the get-to-know-us episode. Starting next week, we get into the real stuff.
