Human stories from real careers
Careers can be defined as a series of messes to be cleaned up, storms to ride out, and deserts to cross. You know the ones: problems that seem easy but unravel as you get into them. Jobs that seem solid but then disintegrate.
CX Pod speakers—folks like Erika Hall (Mule Design), Jarrett Reed (PinkSlipped), and Alistair Croll (FWD50)—have taken on these challenges and come out with their humanity intact and with stories to tell.
We started the CX Pod because the world is full of inspiring professionals working outside of the spotlight, and so few people ever stop to show us why they matter.
So every episode, that's just what we try to do. If that is something you'd like to be part of, subscribe! And if you'd like to support our work, forward this page to a friend and help us grow.
