Tribe, I am excited, humbled and honored to share episode 150 of #thePOZcast. For the last 3 years, Joe has been a beacon to me, a mentor and an inspiration in both the world of recruitment, branding and creative. In February, I visited him down in South Florida at OneSixty Studios to record this special episode. I was brought along my wife Ilona and daughter Nina to meet Joe and see what inspires me.
Joe and I sat down, no script, just a 5 minute convo prior to discuss some high level topics around the current state and future of Talent Access and The New Workplace. What resulted was an incredible, organic conversation filled with tons of value and insights. Hope you enjoy this one from the heart. I appreciate all of you joining me on this journey I call #thePOZcast.

This Episode’s Heavy-Hitters:
- Joe will take the Arnold Palmer approach to his career in flying aircraft, and never take his wife and children into the air
- Companies with strong and trustworthy brands will emerge quicker and stronger from the pandemic
- Going into an interview by giving the interviewee the benefit of the doubt that they are trying their best is the best way to mute unconscious bias in the interviewing process
- The future of hiring might include more exposure to a candidate's personal life, with more content focusing around hobbies that are important to you, or what a day in the life of the candidates family activities is like for example
- Mentorship for young professionals entering the workforce is one of the biggest losses of the pandemic
