In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, Rita Richa sits down with Tim Carroll, CEO of Lyric Workplace and author of Workplace: Reclaiming In-Person Work in a Remote-Obsessed World, to unpack why the best parts of work still happen when we're together — and why that has almost nothing to do with mandating five days in a cubicle.
In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, Rita Richa sits down with Becky Pierson, community strategist and founder of Affinity Collective, for a conversation that flips everything you think you know about building an audience.
