Working with Demons and Witches
Working with Demons and Witches, Conversations with Ocean, is the podcast where the workplace gets weird and sometimes hilarious! Hosted by Ocean, each episode dives into wild stories spotlighting the moments when bosses, coworkers, and entire organizations act less like professionals… and more like demons, witches, and assorted creatures of chaos. But here’s the twist: every story comes with insights on how to survive, thrive, and maybe even laugh your way through it...because yes, you can make it out OK. Listeners, or ”The Collective”, can submit workplace stories through SpeakPipe (link coming soon). Share your tale, and you might just hear it conjured up on the show!
