Summary
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Highly Adaptive, where hosts Jeff Pelliccio and Erin McKenzie tackle the industry's biggest challenge: drowning in noise while starving for actionable insights. In a landscape cluttered with sales pitches disguised as advice, this podcast emerges as the decision-ready resource staffing and consulting leaders actually need.
The hosts bring complementary perspectives forged through decades in the trenches. Jeff's journey from customer service to sales to staffing automation reflects the industry's evolution, while Erin's progression from sales to technology strategy embodies the adaptive mindset they champion. Together, they promise something refreshingly different: no BS, no vendor pitches, just multi-perspective discussions that bridge silos and deliver takeaways you can implement today.
The conversation establishes the framework for what's to come—a progression from reactive to proactive to predictive leadership. Whether discussing AI implementation, M&A activity, annual planning, or industry networks, every episode will maintain this core promise: holistic insights that help leaders engineer organizational success without the usual fluff.
For executives tired of incomplete solutions and emerging leaders ready to make real impact, this episode sets the stage for a podcast that treats your time as valuable and your challenges as solvable.
