About This Podcast
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.
