John Bernatovicz joined me to talk about his journey to writing his best-selling book HR Like a Boss. We cover a lot of ground from his early days at ADP, to a great story about how he beat Tiger Woods in a golf tournament, how he founded Willory and finally the main topic: How to HR Like a Boss. It’s a really fun and engaging conversation with a great leader and voice in the HR Space.

THANK YOU:
Intro and Theme song for Tom’s Engaging HR is “Better” by Break Signals. Break Signals just released their first studio album “A Steady Frequency” and it absolutely rocks, check it out here: Break Signals: A Steady Frequency
- Fun fact, the song “That Guy”, which is also on the album, was inspired by a magician that was hanging around outside The HR Technology Conference in 2022
Thanks to Jon Thurmond for your mentorship and help getting the podcast off the ground. I appreciate you lending the voice for the introduction as well!
