The Inclusive AF Podcast

A People Podcast

Two BFFs. Decades in HR. Zero corporate speak.


Katee Van Horn and Jackye Clayton talk about work, culture, and the things most companies won't say out loud. What actually happens to people at work, and what to do about it.


Between them they've led people teams, run talent functions, built HR from scratch, and watched a lot of programs get announced and then quietly killed. They bring receipts. They also laugh a lot, because some of this is genuinely absurd.


Expect real talk about hiring, leadership, burnout, bias, and the gap between what companies say and what they do. Plus monthly guests who've been in the room where it happened.


If you work in HR, lead a team, or just want your job to suck less, you're in the right place.


New episodes weekly.
