What does it take to build a workplace that’s not just great on paper—but great where it counts: in the hallways, in the tough moments, and under the pressure of scale?

In this episode of The E1B2 Collective Podcast, host Anthony Vaughan sits down with Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®, for an unfiltered, visionary, and practical conversation about the future of work. They unpack:

• Why AI will forever alter the L&D and leadership playbook

• The biggest illusions executive teams carry about culture—and how to break them

• What happens when “Best Workplace” status becomes more PR than performance

• Why emotional safety is the culture system most leaders overlook

• How to coach a CFO who sees culture as a cost center

• What Gen Z is demanding—and why legacy leaders are missing it

This episode is a masterclass in building human-centered systems at scale. If you care about trust, legacy, or leading in a future shaped by AI and emotional intelligence, this one’s not optional.

Listen in and learn how to make culture your competitive advantage—before it’s too late.
