Vibemakers

Vibemakers

Workplace culture doesn’t come from a slide deck (gross)...it comes from people. Vibemakers is a podcast for the ones shaping the experience of work from the inside out: the HR & people ops folk, founders, leaders, and misfits building culture through small bets, big beliefs, and a whole lot of trial and error. Hosted by Marnie Robbins of Vibe People Studio, each episode features a candid conversation with a culture activator, someone rolling up their sleeves to make work more human, meaningful, and aligned. We go beyond best practices and talk about what actually works (and what doesn’t) when you’re trying to create a workplace people want to be part of. No fluff. Well, maybe a little fluff. But mainly just the real stuff behind the vibe. Learn more at: www.vibepeoplestudio.com
