In this season opener, Erica D’Eramo returns to the Two Piers Podcast after a deliberate break between seasons. She reflects on the decision to step back in order to better support clients—particularly those in the federal government—affected by recent executive orders and reductions in force. Erica also shares personal insights from the past few months, including navigating illness, grief, and the necessity of taking time to rest and recharge.

This episode offers a preview of what’s ahead in Season 6: a revamped newsletter focused on workplace tools and practices, and a compelling lineup of guests including Coach Anthony, Molly Booker, James Felton Keith, and Amri Johnson. Erica reaffirms the podcast’s mission as a public benefit corporation and the continued commitment to real, grounded conversations that support human potential, fairness, and effective leadership.
