Fill up your glass and get ready to tackle one of the great traditions of the American Workplace…… Happy Hour. We can all think of a time when we had a great conversation with a coworker over a cocktail. Where did it come from? Is Happy Hour still a thing? Has it changed? What impact does it make on workplace culture?

In addition to our main topic, we’ll be talking about some excitement about live theatre, Travis Hunter’s campaign for the Heisman Trophy, and Pens?
