The Culture Nerds - A Leadership Podcast
Want to constantly grow as a leader and shape a great culture in your workplace? This is the podcast for you.
Of course, if you’re a yoghurt fan who typed in ‘culture’ and ended up here …(sorry, nerdy workplace culture joke). If you’re a serious person who believes serious topics must be covered in a serious way, we may not be the petri dish for you either.
But, if you want lived executive experience and decades working with corporate clients, government agencies & NFPs, all topped off by the hilarious hosts (at least we think so!), welcome - we're glad you could join us!
We nerd out on leadership and workplace culture – which is why we’re good at them. We tackle the topics you need to develop as a leader and to transform the workplace culture you have into the workplace culture you want. And we have fun doing it.
Hard hitting topics. Easy listening.

In this episode we discuss the recent email sent out to all Tesla staff from Elon Musk
where he was very blunt in expressing his expectation of people needing to return to work.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has told employees they can no longer work from home, warning they must return to the office or leave the company, according to an email sent to employees and seen by the Reuters news agency.
"Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week," Mr Musk wrote in the email sent on Tuesday night.
"If you don't show up, we will assume you have resigned.
One of Mr Musk's Twitter followers posted another email that Mr Musk apparently sent to executives asking them to work in the office for at least 40 hours per week or "depart Tesla".
In response to this tweet, the billionaire said: "They should pretend to work somewhere else."
