Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E29: Ageism in Hiring & the Future of Experienced Workers with Steve Davis
Q: What is your biggest lesson from leading veteran programs and what should companies do differently?
Lead with a focus on fit and transferable experience rather than age or tenure, design roles that leverage senior experts for specific outcomes, and build pipelines through continuous learning and storytelling about how recent projects demonstrate capability.
E29: Ageism in Hiring & the Future of Experienced Workers with Steve Davis
Q: Steve, what has changed in the job search process that makes it more difficult for experienced workers?
The process has increasingly favored open, scalable digital screening that often undervalues deep expertise; as technology advances, resumes are filtered by algorithms that don't always capture experience, and job descriptions have become less distinctive, causing older workers to misalign with how roles are framed today.
E30: From the Football Field to the Boardroom: Hiring Diverse Talent from Untapped Pipelines with Adam Gunn
Q: What makes athletes particularly valuable in revenue-focused roles?
Athletes bring competitiveness, exceptional work ethic, teamwork, leadership under pressure, and a strong feedback loop, which translate into high-performance sales and business growth when integrated with emotional intelligence and strategic coaching.
E33: Transitioning from Military Leadership to Corporate America with Berkley Brown
Q: What advice would you give to someone transitioning from the military?
Seek environments with strong support, ask for mentorship, protect your well-being, and be intentional about balance and boundaries while pursuing meaningful work.
E33: Transitioning from Military Leadership to Corporate America with Berkley Brown
Q: What was the biggest personal challenge Berkley faced during the transition?
Leaving the close-knit Army family and adjusting to civilian life was emotionally difficult, compounded by the learning curve of unfamiliar civilian hierarchies and expectations.
