This episode centers on how connection and community shape both workplace culture and personal wellbeing. Lori Saitz shares how she helps companies use internal podcasts to improve communication and build culture, while also telling her story of moving from digital nomad life to creating a grounded, community-focused life in Charlotte. Gratitude, intentional relationships, and honest storytelling run through the whole conversation, from leadership communication to personal health.

Top Takeaways

• Internal podcasts act as a modern replacement for company newsletters and sporadic town halls, giving leaders a direct, human way to communicate with employees.
• Lori’s “core four” focus—culture, communication, connection, and community—guides short, weekly 15‑minute internal episodes that employees can easily consume.
• These internal shows are especially powerful for midsize companies and distributed teams (remote workers, people in trucks, manufacturing staff) who can’t always attend live meetings.
• Gratitude and grounding practices can be woven into workplace content, helping people reset before or after stressful meetings and stay more centered.
• Lori’s own shift from nomading to settling in Charlotte highlights the importance of intentionally building community and creating a “nest” for emotional health.
• Relationships change as people grow; part of staying healthy and authentic is accepting when certain friendships are no longer aligned.
• Social connection and a sense of purpose are major contributors to longevity and wellbeing, often outweighing purely nutritional or medical factors.
