Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail This week on Overall HR , there’s no guest. Just me (Chase). I’m walking through the same questions I ask every guest and sharing my own HR story: how I landed here, the moments that broke my heart, the ones that clarified my values, and why I believe neutrality is one of the most damaging myths in this profession. From accidental beginnings to walking away when integrity was no longer negotiable, this episode is about what HR actually carries, what it costs to see everything, and why protecting culture sometimes means being willing to be unpopular. If you’ve ever loved this work and questioned whether it loves you back... this one’s for you.
