Listen Later

Harold Ford III - yes, the Third - is the Practice Director for the Employer Solutions Practice at Net at Work, a business technology consultancy - indeed, one of the biggest and most respected in North America. For over twenty-five years, Harold has helped HR and Payroll teams unleash the power of their business, harnessing today’s technology.


After a long, hard day of work, you’d expect Harold to go home and maybe kick back with a pint…or three. I know that I would, assuming the fridge is full, which is never an issue with Harold because he has turned his home into a craft brewery. Well, not exactly, but he does brew his own beer…how, why and what kind of beer, and whether you and I will ever have a chance to sample it, are the pressing questions Harold answers in this fun and illuminating conversation with TS host, Tom Alexander. Among the topics discussed:


  • How much do you have to love beer to get into home brewing?
  • Why and how Harold started brewing craft beer.
  • How the process works.
  • The signature ingredients or brewing techniques that define a “Harold Ford” beer.
  • The connections between craft brewing hobby and his work with Net at Work.
  • "If you could sit down for a beer with any figure dead or alive, who would it be and what would you pour?"

  • A conversation that goes down as smoothly as whatever Harold has on tap.
