23 min - Welcome to On the Up & Up!
Welcome to On the Up and Up! I am your host, Kira La Forgia, founder of Paradigm Consulting.
On this podcast, get the real reality behind leadership and management. Not just the buzzwords and HR-appropriate policies, but the good, the bad, and the juicy gossip that comes with the behind-the-scenes of running a business.
Join us as we laugh and sometimes even squirm while shooting the (sometimes HR-inappropriate) sh*t with badass founders, diverse managers, and kickass employees.
Running a business is hard, but we can make it less lonely and maybe even…. dare I say…fun.

About People On Purpose®
From the publisher's feed
People On Purpose, the podcast that reminds you that your business doesn’t run on policies and processes alone... it runs on people.
If you’ve been with us since the On The Up & Up! days, you probably remember the tactical HR tips, the “how-to hire” episodes, and my rants about I-9s and contractors vs. employees. And don’t worry, you’ll still hear the occasional HR compliance tip.
But after years of working with hundreds of small businesses, I realized something big:
It’s not the systems or the SOPs that make your business work. It’s the humans behind them.
So this new chapter of the podcast is about the messy middle of building a team. Think: more purpose than payroll and more community than compliance.
We’re talking about what it really takes to create a workplace where people actually want to show up, not because they have to, but because they believe in what you’re building… or at the very least, because it feels great to work there.
Each week, we’ll explore the people-side of small business - from leadership and management, to community and culture - with best best practices, strategies, and the occasional leadership horror story - because we’ve all got ‘em.
