When work energizes us, everything else in life improves - our mood, our relationships, and even our impact at home. On this episode of the builders podcast, John Busby meets with Moe Carrick to uncover how “people-first” doesn’t have to mean ignoring business realities, how meetings can shift from draining to energizing, and how purpose shows up even in everyday roles. They also cover HR’s role in shaping culture, the dangers of lip service values, and how leaders can make alignment real.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the best workplaces help us bring our full selves to work
- What it truly means for work to be “good” for both people and organizations
- How to redesign meetings to be purposeful and engaging
- Why connection, not communication, is often the real problem
- The difference between “people-first” lip service and genuine practice
- Why purpose matters — even in roles that may not seem world-changing
