The EVOLVE Talent & HR Show

The EVOLVE Talent & HR Show

Trust, Talent, Together

Hosted by Anna Morgan, founder of EVOLVE, this is the podcast where talent acquisition, HR leadership, HR tech, and the future of work come into focus. Whether you’re an individual contributor, people manager, executive, vendor, or entrepreneur shaping how people are hired, developed, and led, this show is for you.


Each episode features voices co-creating the future of work: event organizers, practitioners, speakers, and thought leaders sharing honest conversations about talent strategy, leadership, culture, and real-world challenges. You’ll hear stories from conference stages, hallways, dinners, and the frontlines of HR, practical insights you can use immediately.


The EVOLVE Talent & HR Show is part of a larger ecosystem. Conferences, community events, learning platforms, and executive dinners—all designed around one belief: careers and companies grow faster when we stop working alone and start learning, experimenting, and evolving in community.


If you care about culture, connection, and the future of work. If you’re ready for fresh energy, real talk, and partnership-driven thinking. If you believe that what technology can’t replace—trust, human connection, collaboration—matters most. This is your room.


New episodes every week. Let’s evolve.
