  • Who Really Owns Workplace Culture? | Zach Blumenfeld & Nick Lombardino

    Who Really Owns Workplace Culture? | Zach Blumenfeld & Nick Lombardino
    Dec 17 2025
    Culture Isn’t HR’s Job: Building Work That Feels Human with Nick Lombardino & Zach Blumenfeld What if culture wasn’t something you rolled out—but something you practiced, person by person, day by day? In this episode of Human Side Up, host Natasha Nuytten sits down with Nick Lombardino and Zach Blumenfeld, co-founders of CultureCon (a certified B Corp), to unpack what actually makes workplace culture stick. From their origin story (Madison roots, high school connections, and an “accidental” community that turned into a movement) to the behind-the-scenes realities of building CultureCon, Nick and Zach share why the best cultures aren’t built by slogans—they’re built by trust, autonomy, and meaningful connection. They dig into the tension between flexibility and loneliness in remote work, why “culture fit” is often the wrong goal, and what it means to build “culture from the inside out”—starting with self-awareness, personal responsibility, and how you show up as an individual contributor. If you’re a leader trying to build culture without outsourcing it to HR—or an employee who wants to make work better from wherever you sit—this one is packed with practical insights and a whole lot of heart. Highlights & Takeaways 💡 Culture is everyone’s job (and why HR can’t carry it alone) 💡 Trust + autonomy = real connection (not just perks) 💡 Flexibility vs. belonging: what remote work can’t replace 💡 “Inside-out culture”: self-awareness as the foundation for meaning at work Human Side Up Hosted by Natasha Nuytten, CEO of CLARA, Human Side Up cuts through the noise to reveal how real leaders create workplaces—and lives—where people can thrive.

  • Will AI Take Your Job? | Ajay Malik

    Will AI Take Your Job? | Ajay Malik
    Dec 3 2025
    Let AI Do the Work: Becoming “Manager of One” in the Age of AI with Ajay Malik What if the future of work isn’t about replacing humans—but upgrading what we’re here to do? In this episode of Human Side Up, host Natasha Nuytten talks with Ajay Malik—CEO of StudioX-AI, former Head of Architecture & Engineering for Google’s worldwide corporate network, and holder of 100+ patents—about his mission to “let AI do the work so humans can do the thinking, feeling, and creating.” Ajay shares how his love for technology and his self-professed procrastination actually sharpen his ability to prioritize, focus, and build systems that quietly power billions of interactions behind the scenes. They dig into his core idea that every knowledge worker is now a “manager of one”—their own AI agent—and what that means for hiring, leadership, and personal responsibility. Ajay is refreshingly honest about the risks: AI will eliminate some jobs, especially for those who don’t learn it. But he also explains how the massive acceleration of innovation creates a new kind of demand for humans in the loop: orchestrators, conductors, project leaders, and ethical decision-makers who know how to direct AI, not just fear it. Along the way, he shares lessons from mentors, why doing one thing at 160% beats doing two things at 100%, and how AI is quietly teaching him to be more forgiving and more human. Highlights & Takeaways 💡 “Manager of one”: why every person now leads their own AI agent 💡 Human in the loop: 85% AI execution, 15% human oversight—and why that 15% is everything 💡 Job loss vs. velocity: how AI will cut some roles but create massive demand for new kinds of work 💡 Learning from AI: no grudges, no rumination, just next prompt—how that mindset can shape better leadership 💡 Everyone must learn AI (unless your job is literally with your hands): practical urgency for careers and companies Human Side Up What happens when we stop following the playbook and start writing our own?

    How Leaders Fail Returning Moms | Alexa Starks

    Reentry Isn’t a Moment—It’s a System: Designing Support That Works with Alexa Starks What if “welcome back” wasn’t the plan—just the starting line? In this episode of Human Side Up, host Natasha Nuytten sits down with Alexa Starks—Founder & Chief Strategist of Executive Moms and host of The Reentry Room—to unpack how organizations can move beyond good intentions to build practical, repeatable frameworks that retain high-performing parents. Drawing from her own return-to-work experience and a decade in corporate ops, Alexa explains the “reentry gap,” why so many managers default to silence, and how leaders can co-create 30/60/90 re-onboarding plans that adjust goals, measure output (not hours), and make flexibility real. They get specific on scripts and shared language for managers and parents, weekly capacity check-ins, resetting OKRs, and the difference between policy and practice when it comes to boundaries. While the focus is parent reentry, the lessons apply across life events—because compassionate leadership and clear expectations improve outcomes for everyone. Highlights & Takeaways 💡Reentry is a process, not a date: co-create 30/60/90 plans and reset OKRs 💡Measure output, not “green dots”: flexibility that’s tied to clear goals 💡Policy vs. practice: manager behavior is the culture 💡Shared language: scripts for managers and parents to ask for—and offer—support 💡Beyond parenthood: compassion + clarity build stronger teams in any life event Human Side Up What happens when we stop following the playbook and start writing our own?
