  • Summary

  • HR isn’t what it used to be, and neither are career paths. In this episode, we sit down with Jon Lowe, Chief People Officer at DailyPay to explore the evolution of HR, the importance of self-awareness in career choices, and why adaptability is the key to success. From home improvement projects that went hilariously wrong to lessons learned in the workplace, we discuss how grit, intentionality, and accountability shape personal and professional growth. In this episode, we look at earned wage access, HR transformation, professional development, and career pivots—breaking down the unpredictable nature of the job market and how to find the right workplace fit. Whether you’re in HR, exploring new career opportunities, or just trying to navigate life’s unexpected turns, this conversation is packed with insights and laughs. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Home improvement projects can spark unexpected (and hilarious) neighbor disputes. ➡️ The role of HR is evolving—fast. ➡️ Self-awareness is critical in shaping career paths. ➡️ No two days in HR look the same. ➡️ Personal growth often comes from career pivots. ➡️ Humor makes even the toughest career lessons more bearable. ➡️ Workplace dynamics are changing, and adaptability is key. ➡️ Career paths are rarely linear—embrace the pivots. ➡️ HR titles and responsibilities are often misunderstood. ➡️ Family expectations can heavily influence career choices. ➡️ There’s a lack of real resources for career guidance. ➡️ Most people don’t end up working in their college major. ➡️ Finding work you enjoy is more important than chasing a title. ➡️ Grit and adaptability determine long-term success. ➡️ Building something meaningful beats maintaining the status quo. ➡️ Intentional career choices lead to better opportunities. ➡️ Self-reflection is essential for personal and professional growth. ➡️ Accountability is the backbone of career development. ➡️ The job market is always changing—flexibility is a must.
