Company Culture Isn’t Free Merch

What makes a company culture actually work? In this episode, Christine, Saphira, Nicole, and Courtney unpack the real meaning of corporate culture—beyond swag bags and ping pong tables. From toxic bosses and fear-based management to building trust, empathy, and psychological safety, they reflect on the kind of culture they’ve intentionally created—and what they’ll never go back to. Saphira introduces a framework for giving feedback without shame, and Christine shares what it really takes to keep talented people around. Whether you manage a team or you’re just trying to survive one, this one’s for you.
