We’re thrilled to announce the launch of "No Nametags," a fresh and innovative podcast highlighting the authentic stories and journeys of those in the workforce, whether you’re just starting out or decades into your career. In a world where we’re often defined by our job titles, social roles, or the identities we wear, "No Nametags" invites you to peel off the labels and discover the real people working in a variety of industries, with a closer look at how they broke in and what inspires them to do what they do. 

What is "No Nametags" All About?

In every episode of "No Nametags," we dive deep into meaningful discussions with guests from all walks of life. The concept is simple yet powerful: no introductions, no formalities, just real, unfiltered conversations. We believe that when we strip away the superficial identifiers, we get to the heart of what truly matters—our shared human experiences and how they inspire the working world.

Whether we’re talking to artists, entrepreneurs, educators, or everyday people with extraordinary stories, "No Nametags" is all about creating a space where everyone’s voice can be heard, and no one is put in a box. And don’t fret, our guests reveal themselves by the end of the episode, so lean in and focus on the context of their character. 

Why "No Nametags"?

The idea for "No Nametags" was born out of a desire to move beyond the surface-level interactions in the working world. Too often, people are judged by their societal roles and the impact of their journey may be overlooked by their sheer title. But what happens when we let go of those preconceptions, level the playing field and really listen? What can we learn from their trials and tribulations prior to hearing about their current role? That’s the question at the heart of our podcast.\

Our goal is to foster genuine connections and understanding by encouraging listeners to see beyond the labels and recognize the person behind them. By removing the metaphorical nametags, we hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the unique stories and perspectives that each guest brings to the table.

BONUS: Oh, and did we mention Nametags is a word scramble on Gatesman!? 🎤⬇️
