Six years off. One massive comeback. Zero regrets.

In this episode of The Balancing Act, Sarah Sheridan sits down with Susan Scutt, private equity operator, single mom, and comeback queen.

She walked away from work to raise her daughters. Then walked back in and built a bigger, bolder career.

We get into:

• The role she turned down (and why it wasn’t worth it)
• What her kids taught her about leadership
• Why tough love works—at home and in the boardroom

It’s a no-fluff conversation about ambition, resilience, and letting go of guilt. Especially for women who’ve hit pause—and are ready to hit play again.

We sat down with Andrew Zuckerman to talk about what small and scaling businesses get wrong about HR and how to fix it.

From 48-hour compliance assessments to rebuilding onboarding in a pinch, Andrew explains how fractional HR can solve real problems fast.

If you’re a founder, ops leader, or someone building the HR function from scratch, this one’s packed with practical insight.

Whelp, that’s a wrap. After 20 years, James is leaving the recruiting industry behind. And Hirewell. And the 10 Minute Talent Rant.

But not before taking a few parting shots at the recurring issues in the recruiting space that never seem to go away.
