FIRST AIRED: SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2019 Today I want to switch things up a bit and talk about a very important topic, mental wellness. This is more than a hot topic, its reality and we all need to do a much better job in looking out for ourselves and each other, especially in the workplace. I’ve known my guest today Eric Kussin, an expert in this space, for probably 25 years as we grew up in the same neighborhood in Long Island. We were never really close but always respected and admired each other. In the last few years we connected deeper professionally and the synergy has been fantastic. Eric Kussin is an 18-year professional sports executive, who got his start at the NBA League Office. After five years with the League, he went the team business route and rose the ranks with the expansion Chicago Sky, and later the Phoenix Suns. He then switched over to the NHL, working with the New Jersey Devils, & Florida Panthers. However, a debilitating mental health crisis stopped Eric’s career and life in its tracks for over two and a half years. After many failed treatment modalities, he was lucky enough to learn healing practices that enabled him to dig out of his abyss, and found a higher calling, launching a non-profit at the end of 2017 called, We’re All a Little “Crazy,” The Global Mental Health Alliance. The Alliance is comprised of athletes and celebrities, along with media members, expert practitioners, advocates, and everyday heroes who’ve come together to make talking about mental health a common topic for “5 out of 5” of us. Their #SameHere Movement has swept across college campuses in the US from Cornell to USC, K-12’s, Corporate Offices, and Professional Sports Teams in just over a year. The Movement has recently begun to expand globally as well, with events in markets outside of the US. As mental wellness continues to be at the forefront of every conversation, I knew it was critical to have Eric on the show today to dig in. I am thrilled and honored to have him on. I truly hope that you are able to learn from Eric's story and look out for yourself and your fellow humans.

Joining me on this roundtable #ThePOZcastLIVE episode are Kelli Hrivnak, Ben Nader, Adam Broda, and Dan Roth. Kelli is the founder of Knak Digital, which specializes in executive recruitment for technology, digital marketing, and creative talent. Ben Nader is the founder of Recruiter Empire, the largest growth network for recruiters and soon-to-be recruiters. Adam Broda is the founder of Broda coaching, which helps non-tech candidates transition into tech and engineering roles. Dan Roth is a neurodiverse recruiter who also runs the largest job seeker platform on LinkedIn. Join us for an honest discussion about the nature of the labor market, what mistakes are being made by candidates and employers, and much more about the future of work. This Episode’s Heavy-hitter’s: One thing everyone can agree on– it’s currently a job seeker-focused market, and even borderline candidates are getting paid way above the rates they would warrant in a more typical job market. Part of pay transparency via making salaries public information is accompanying it with more information on how salary is determined, and what the employers deem to be valuable. Kelli says that a lot of the turnover at companies seems not to be based on salary at all. Instead, there seems to be an issue in the vetting process determining culture fit via virtual interviews. There’s a tricky balance in the hiring process of senior candidates, between giving enough time for the interview process to work its magic, and remaining competitive enough to not lose the candidate to a company that’s willing to hire more quickly. Dan has the belief that LinkedIn audio is going to change the recruiting game, as that sort of live experience where a recruiter can vet a candidate during the conversation, and cut down tremendously on the hiring process timeline.

Joining us in this rare installment of #thePOZcastLIVE is Heather Parady, Andy Storch and Kevin Logan. Heather Parady is the host of the Community Builders in Web 3.0 podcast. Andy Storch is my OG in the Web3 space, an author, and host of the My NFT Journey podcast. Kevin Logan is a rockstar recruiter and my business partner in Probably Nothing Talent. In this episode, we dig right into the wonderful world of Web3, where to start as a newbie, projects we love, and how this will change the world we live in. This Episode’s Heavy-hitter’s: NFTs so far are a speculative investment at best and it’s too early to know everything there is to know about the space. The best way to get ahead is to educate yourself as much as possible, and then take risks that you’re comfortable with. Another safe bet to make is on the people and community. Web2 was much more focused on building a following, but this technology is all about forming credibility with the members of your community. It’s important to know what role you want to play within the NFT community. There’s so many different roles available– whether it be in creating NFTs, flipping them, being a technologist and so much more. You should be intentional about what fits your needs and interests the most. While Web3 lends itself to learning by doing, there’s no right answer on when the right time to get involved is. You should think about your risk and education levels as being inverse, and figure out at what point you feel comfortable enough to jump in head first. Once you do feel educated enough, Kevin suggests that you purchase at least one NFT you feel great about so you can have skin in the game to really learn.
