  • Vision, empathy, and disruption: Matt McCune and Thomas Daglis on what real people heroes do

    Vision, empathy, and disruption: Matt McCune and Thomas Daglis on what real people heroes do
    Jul 31 2025
    Recorded live at the isolved booth at SHRM 2025 in San Diego, this episode features two industry voices with very different superpowers—Matt McCune and Thomas Daglis. Hosted by William Tincup and Ryan Leary, the conversation digs into the unexpected traits of true HR heroes and why it takes more than empathy to make a difference. Matt explains how his company bet against the status quo twenty years ago—risking everything to fight back against a broken healthcare system. He breaks down how putting the employee first meant redefining the economics of healthcare itself. Thomas brings a data-first lens, showing how predictive analytics can transform retention strategy into a science of trust. Together, they paint a picture of leadership that doesn’t just protect the business—it changes the game.

  • Brock Arnold and Rita Kusi on defining people heroes and building purpose from hardship

    Brock Arnold and Rita Kusi on defining people heroes and building purpose from hardship
    Jul 31 2025
    Live from the isolved booth at SHRM in San Diego, William Tincup and Ryan Leary sit down with two guests who’ve never met—but leave with a shared outlook on HR leadership, family, and purpose. Brock Arnold and Rita Kusi bring two powerful, personal takes on what it means to be a “people hero”—and how life, work, and service intersect when you’re truly committed to others. Rita shares how she left her corporate job and moved back to Ghana to build an HR consultancy from the ground up. She talks about her passion for remote team development and the power of global inclusion. Brock opens up about the emotional impact of his son’s leukemia diagnosis and how it reshaped his values. That moment sparked the creation of Thrive Life Project, a nonprofit helping families facing trauma find peace and connection through healthy meals and hands-on activities. This one hits hard—and sticks with you. It’s about listening better, caring deeper, and remembering what really matters when the noise fades away.
