Why are we still using resumes like it's 1995?! 📄

Live from CultureCon® 2025, Nikki Lewallen Gregory is joined by Natasha Nuytten, CEO of CLARA, for a rapid-fire convo on shaking up everything we thought we knew about HR.

From blowing up the resume to embracing AI in ethical and human-first ways, Natasha dishes on how leaders can stop playing it safe and start rethinking talent. They explore the magic of unlearning, why potential matters more than pedigree, and how to build hiring processes that actually reflect the world we live in today.

If you're tired of rinse-and-repeat recruiting and ready to reimagine the future of work, this episode is your permission slip to challenge the status quo and lead with heart and strategy.

What if your biggest money block was invisible… and inherited?

Welcome to a groundbreaking kickoff of a new Addicted to Betterment series with Nikki and David, and the incomparable financial coach, Roya Mattis. Together, they dive deep into the subconscious programming most of us never question: the invisible money stories we inherited long before we even earned our first dollar. 🧠

From cheese-and-cracker ceilings to yacht-level abundance, Roya masterfully unpacks how our earliest money memories silently set our financial thermostats, and how we unconsciously sabotage success when we out-earn our internal "deserve level."

This isn't your average money mindset talk. It's about soul elevation, healing scarcity at the root, and stepping fully into your purpose-driven power with money as a tool, not a trap. 💸
