The Human Side of Work

Each episode is a candid interview with a thoughtful guest about their work, their values, and the journey that shaped them. Guests also choose a topic they care deeply about to explore in more depth. No scripts, no spin — just honest conversation.

Coming Soon

We're currently in production and will be launching our first season soon. When we do, you'll be able to find us on all major podcast platforms. Check back here for links — and in the meantime, feel free to get in touch if you'd like to be notified when we launch.

Exploring What Matters, One Conversation at a Time

Jonathan Hodge, Ph.D.

Host & Producer

Jonathan is a higher education leader with more than two decades of experience as a professor, department chair, and dean. He holds a Ph.D. in mathematics and a master’s degree in negotiation, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding.

A recovering perfectionist and self-described productivity nerd, Jonathan works hard to build systems and routines that allow him to focus on what matters, get things done, and still have time for a life outside of work. He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, three kids, and their slightly neurotic maltipoo.
