    The HR Community Revolution: Enrique Rubio on What Leaders Must Learn Now | EP55
    Dec 15 2025
    What if the future of HR has nothing to do with policies — and everything to do with people? In this can’t-miss episode, Christy sits down with Enrique Rubio, the powerhouse behind the most influential voices redefining community in HR. Enrique reveals the untold truths behind building real community in an industry where many leaders feel more isolated than ever. From designing experiences that spark vulnerability to managing the chaos nobody sees behind large-scale events, Enrique shares the surprising lessons that only come from being in the trenches. And then things get real: they dive into how AI is rewriting the rules of work at lightning speed — and why HR leaders who don’t adapt now risk being left behind. This conversation is packed with forward-looking insights, practical takeaways, and a refreshing dose of honesty about what it actually takes to bring people together in a rapidly changing world. If you care about community, leadership, or the future of HR, this is the episode you’ll be thinking about long after it ends. They unpack: AI is fundamentally changing the way we work and will disrupt many jobs. The potential displacement of jobs due to AI is a significant concern. Building community is about serving others and creating a supportive environment. HR professionals often feel isolated in their roles, highlighting the need for community. Inclusivity in community building allows for diverse perspectives and shared learning. AI integration requires a holistic approach that spans across all business functions. Humanizing AI involves addressing the needs of those displaced by technology. Leaders should approach AI with an open mind and a focus on opportunities. Being a doer is essential in the era of AI, not just a dreamer. Strategic leadership in AI is crucial for successful integration in organizations.

    Reinvention Is Possible: How Cheri Garcia created 3,000 second chances | EP54
    Dec 1 2025
    What if the greatest leadership lesson isn’t about winning but about starting over? On this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy sits down with Cheri Garcia, Founder & CEO of Cornbread Hustle, a boutique staffing firm that has helped more than 3,000 people with criminal records find meaningful employment, dignity, and a path forward. Cheri is a force. She rebuilt her life after addiction, transformed her pain into purpose, and built one of the most impactful second-chance hiring movements in the country. Today, she helps companies create workplaces that change lives—not just bottom lines. They unpack: The Leadership of Reinvention - why your lowest point can become your greatest asset—and how Cheri used her recovery to build a company centered on empathy, accountability, and transformation. The Truth About Second-Chance Hiring - what companies think it is vs. what it really looks like behind the scenes, and why individuals with criminal records are some of the most driven, loyal, and high-performing hires. Healing Before Hiring - how programs like Junk Hustlers and the Starting Over Program rebuild self-worth, identity, and confidence—because employment only sticks when inner work comes first. Community as a Leadership Strategy - why returning citizens need structure, accountability, and people who believe in them—and how leaders can create cultures that support real change. Entrepreneurship as Redemption - how Cheri teaches individuals to use creativity, discipline, and ownership to rewrite their stories and design their futures. If you’ve ever believed in redemption, resilience, or the power of one “YES” this conversation will stay with you. Cheri reminds us that reinvention isn’t a destination, it's a journey we walk together.

    Average Is the Floor, Not the Ceiling | EP53
    Nov 10 2025
    What if success wasn't magic, but a repeatable science you could learn from astronauts and Olympians? On this episode of Inside the C-Suite, Christy connects with Dr. Ruth Gotian - Chief Learning Officer at Cornell University, a top executive coach, and a social scientist obsessed with deconstructing success. Dr. Gotian has spent years getting inside the heads of the world's highest achievers—from astronauts to NBA champions—to find out what they know that the rest of us don't. She’s the person who asks the questions no one else does and comes back with a playbook that turns ambition into achievement. They unpack: The Four Elements of Success – Breaking down the operating system of high achievers: intrinsic motivation, resilience, foundational habits, and relentless learning. Aiming Higher than Average – Why the language of "benchmarks" and "medians" limits our potential and how to make average the floor, not the ceiling. Mentorship vs. "Tormentors" – The difference between a true mentor who elevates you and a toxic "tormentor" who stalls your career—and how to find the right people for your corner. The Community of Practice – Why your most powerful allies are often your peers and how to build a support system with people who truly get it. Leading High Achievers – How to spot, retain, and develop the top performers on your team by investing in their curiosity instead of just managing their performance. The Art of the Interview – A behind-the-scenes look at how Dr. Gotian gets the world's most successful people to say yes and share the stories they've never told before. If you've ever wondered if you have what it takes to reach the next level, this conversation is your permission slip and your roadmap. Dr. Gotian proves that the world's highest achievers aren't a different species—they just have a different operating system. And it’s one you can install today.
