You've Got People Problems
Let’s be honest—people problems aren’t just HR problems. They’re business problems.
They show up as missed goals, poor accountability, hiring headaches, and culture drift. And the fix isn’t another policy—it’s better leadership.
Business would be easy… if it weren’t for people.
That’s why I’m launching You’ve Got People Problems—a podcast where we talk about the real impact of leadership, hiring, accountability, and team dynamics. Because let’s be honest: HR isn’t going to save you, and avoiding people issues won’t make them go away.
We’re bringing in business leaders, EOS Implementers, and hiring experts to break down the people problems that are costing companies time, money, and sanity—and more importantly, how to fix them.
If you’re leading a team, hiring people, or just trying to make your business run without constant headaches, this podcast is for you.
🔊 Subscribe, listen, and let’s talk about your people problems.

WORDS MATTER - Being Tough, Tender, & Transformative in the Work Space | Ep 15 | You've Got People Problems
In Episode 15 of You’ve Got People Problems, Melissa Ortiz sits down with HR leader Ellie Prentis to talk about the power of words in leadership—and how the language we use can either build trust or break culture.
Ellie brings over two decades of experience in nonprofit and education leadership, and shares real stories from the field about how the right words (and the wrong ones) show up in tough conversations, feedback, and everyday team dynamics.
We cover:
- What it means to lead with words that are tough, tender, and transformative
- How to give feedback that’s clear and human
- Why your words matter more than you think—even when you’re busy, frustrated, or under pressure
