b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck

Turning the table (and the microphone) we delve into Erin Hatzikostas' backstory, her journey from small-town Mid-West to the high-rise corporate life, and all the butts sniffed along the way. As well as a few insights from Erin's six-year-old son, managing life as a top ranking CEO, a mother, and a wife, there's something for everyone in this rollercoaster of an episode.

Tweetable Comments: "Acquiescing, and forcing people to take the lead, is the biggest enablement and support you can give."

"We're running around like crazy sniffing butts." "I think Corporate America is too traditional, it isn't diverse, certainly in women's leadership, people of color, and overall diversity, that segregation won't get us far." "We've got a new acronym, non-Pinterest moms, I'm and NPM."

"You learn these leadership principles, and then you go home and it all goes to hell in a handbasket."

"Mick looks at me, six years old, and says 'at least you made it to 43' - thanks Mick."

Erin Hatzikostas pops the question(s) to Nicole Licata Grant in this totally impromptu first episode. Hanging out in Nicole's living room, along with their friend Megan, Erin breaks out her phone and interviews Nicole to get her thoughts on starting this venture, how she thinks about authenticity, and so much more.

We dabble in Nicole's backstory, Erin's quirky questions, and both their authentic laughs.

From ghosts taking Corporate America by hostage to the infallible Mother Teresa, there's no topic that can't be put under the microscope of authenticity.

"I think hostage taking is a pretty effective tool."

"I'm still holding on, but I tell you, the granny panties will come out at some point."

"What is authentic, that's an important question and I don't think we have an answer, I don't think we know in this day and age what that means."

"Hello, America Waste Company. Welcome to urban America. Real problems, real things, real distractions, authentic distractions."

"It's going to be through the community, through talking about authenticity you're kind of giving permission, and I think that there's a lot of people out there that need that permission to be authentic."

"I don't want like-minded, that's why we want to investigate this notion of authenticity and we're not looking to just sit in a sound room, we want to talk to people who aren't like ourselves."

A podcast that is determined to break the norm. Two longtime friends, who are opposites in just about everything, come together to help you contemplate and contend with the "bS" that is in work, life and everything in between. In this first special episode, Erin Hatzikostas & Nicole Licata Grant sit down in podcast-land AND in YouTube-land (check out the video on YouTube if you want to see your hosts) to give you a glimpse into what this podcast is all about.
