Work Face

Work Face, a New Podcast from Hear Me Out (Trailer)

Benjamin Jackson

I’m Ben Jackson, the founder of workplace culture strategy firm, Hear Me Out. 

For years, I’ve been listening to people tell the truth about work, the kinds of stories that usually stay hidden behind NDAs. Through these conversations, I’ve discovered something important: whether you’re dealing with office politics or trying to protect your mental health, the challenges you’re facing aren’t unique to you.

That’s why I created Work Face. Every week, you’ll hear stories from people who’ve faced similar challenges. Stories that will help you navigate the tension between being yourself and doing your job, protect your well being without derailing your career, and find the confidence to speak up when it matters most.

Together, we’re asking the questions about work that everyone has, but no one brings up.  We hope these conversations will help you put words to what feels wrong in your own workplace and give you the confidence to inspire change.

Stop talking about who deserves bonuses or compensation and just talk about who needs what. Everybody needs help. So help them.

Allegra Rosenberg:

I felt so shaken in my own taste that I had been confident enough to stand up for, and I was like, oh, maybe I don't know anything.

Allegra Rosenberg:

I was honest with somebody, perhaps too honest.

Aaron Rabinowitz:

It's a hard pill to swallow. Everybody wants praise. But if they had to choose between getting to praise and getting to blame, I think most people would pick blame. Together, we're asking the questions about work that everyone has, but no one brings up. We hope these conversations will help you put words to what feels wrong in your own workplace and give you the confidence to inspire change.
