Welcome to the very first episode of The CultureCon®️ Podcast 🎉

Nick and Zach kick things off with the wild and wonderful origin story of CultureCon®️: from blizzard-filled roundtables and zero event planning experience, to surprise Vegas marquees and full-on imposter syndrome.

Along the way, they share the heart behind why CultureCon exists: to make work suck less and to build authentic connections that go far beyond job titles. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll get a sneak peek at the incredible stories and topics coming your way — think AI, DEI, and social entrepreneurship.

This is the start of something big, and a whole lot of fun.
