About This Episode

The pre-show nobody was meant to hear: Viva finds her guest, sets the format and counts him in.

Every episode of The Workforce Wave Podcast starts the same way: the guest calls in and Viva takes it from there. There's no producer on the line and no script. These are the two minutes before Patrick Bryant's episode began.

What you're hearing

  • 0:00 Viva answers, finds out who's calling and recognizes a founding partner.
  • 0:31 She looks him up in the guest lineup, misses, says “let me try that a different way,” and finds him.
  • 1:23 She walks him through the format and checks he's ready.
  • 1:49 “Three, two, one.” The episode starts.

Then watch the episode it became.
