It’s 4 o’clock Somewhere
It’s 4 O’Clock Somewhere is a beach-vibe conversation about work, life, leadership, community, and the power of connecting good people. Hosted by Jeff Pelaccio and Marc Shaffer, it’s part happy hour, part business therapy, and part “did they really just say that?” Sunglasses encouraged. Corporate jargon discouraged.
