Recorded live at The Work Elevated Conference, this episode will shock you into a smile.  After another brilliant introduction, the guys talk to both organizers and attendees at the conference.  Rachel Child joins the podcast again and talks about working at the conference, Karisa Stahle then talks about turning over the reigns to Joylynn Jepson who also joined and promised to first release the theme of next year’s conference exclusively on the podcast.  Attendee Carl McCain talks to the guys about winning a TV at last year’s conference along with what he learned about being kind to others (in addition to the thrill of talking to Steve and Tony).  Sterling Barker sits in the Red Seat from Utah SHRM, talks about serving and why he does it.  Then, Scott Key, the breakout networker of the conference joins and talks about his experience attending while looking for work. 

Warning: This episode contains light humor and lacks a lot of boring employee handbook knowledge.  Listeners should be prepared for humor, sarcasm, and a little background noise.  Some listeners may experience uncontrollable smiling, laughter, and a desire to attend next year’s conference.
