17. More Than a Job: Building Community at Work


Listen Later

We spend a significant portion of our lives at work—often alongside people we didn’t choose and don’t always connect with naturally. In this episode, Michael & Marissa explore what it looks like to foster genuine community in the workplace without forcing friendship or crossing professional boundaries 🤝.


This conversation isn’t about finding your best friends at work. Instead, it’s about choosing care over indifference and humanity over “robot mode” 🤖➡️❤️.


💬 In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why workplace community matters more than we often realize
  • How to care for coworkers you’re “stuck with” (even when it’s hard)
  • The difference between clocking in/out and actually investing in people
  • Building trust and respect with appropriate boundaries
  • Why stronger relationships often lead to better teamwork and productivity


🌱 What we hope you’ll walk away with:

  • A renewed perspective on the people you work with every day
  • Practical ways to check in, serve, and show care at work
  • Encouragement that small, intentional efforts can shift workplace culture


Whether you love your coworkers, struggle with them, or fall somewhere in between, this episode offers a realistic and encouraging look at how community can exist at work—and why it’s worth the effort.
