Now, before we get into today's insightful conversation, I have a golden opportunity for those of you

Lori, thanks for joining us today. Oh, my goodness. I'm thrilled to be here. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, it is our pleasure. So how about you get it started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do? Sure. Well, the way that we've been trained to do this is to talk about our careers. So I'm a writer, a speaker, an entrepreneur, and I'm focused on the HR space. But I like to tell people what I do when I'm not working. I think that's so much more interesting. And, you know, when I'm not working, I mean, I'm on the internet like everybody else. But I love art. I love music. And I'm an avid animal rescue advocate. So I try to take all of that and live a life of purpose and service where I help people fix work. That's what I'm all about.
