Hero to Zero

Hero to Zero pulls back the polished corporate curtain and reveals what really goes down in HR, recruiting, leadership, and workplace culture. Hosted by Ken Pearson — Certified Global HR Professional, Executive Coach, and veteran of more conference rooms than he cares to admit — this podcast explores the moments when best-laid plans meet human nature... and chaos wins. Each month, we tackle a new part of the HR ecosystem — recruiting disasters, DEI misfires, leadership lessons learned the hard way — with real stories, expert guests, and just enough sarcasm to keep it honest. Expect real mistakes, real solutions, and real laughs. No buzzwords. No corporate Kool-Aid. Just the behind-the-scenes reality you always suspected was happening. Because in HR (and life)... it only takes one email to go from hero to zero. 🎧 New episodes drop monthly. 📩 Got a workplace horror story? Email us at ken.pearson@shadetree-consulting.com
