Episode notes

Morganne August is a former English teacher who found herself in digital marketing and account management by way of a few local startups. Driven by curiosity and the value of lifelong learning, Morganne enjoyed the fast-paced startup environment, but always found herself more interested in the company-employee relationship than in driving leads. She now leads Geear’s hiring efforts, supports managers and leaders in growing their people, and shapes the employee experience and company culture as the Director of People Operations. Morganne resides in Richmond, Virginia and is a passionate volunteer for and advocate of the CARITAS Works Program. She believes everyone deserves a work life that enriches their financial stability, mental health, and social well-being. Geear is a remote-first digital agency that runs toward the toughest marketing challenges financial institutions and industrial manufacturers face. Taking care of your people is the secret sauce to a thriving business, and if you’re not treating them like the rockstars they are, you might be missing the boat.
