Work Made Human Podcast: Abadesi Osunsade, HustleCrew
On this episode of Work Made Human, Nichole and Jill sit down with Abadesi Osunsade, Founder and CEO of Hustle Crew and co-host of the Techish podcast, for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to what really matters at work.
Because here’s the truth: workplaces don’t become more human by accident. They become more human when leaders choose to tell better stories, redistribute power, and build cultures where belonging isn’t a buzzword—it’s a standard.
Together, they unpack how storytelling shapes culture, where organizations get inclusion right (and where they miss the mark), and why healthy boundaries aren’t a leadership weakness—they’re a strength. The conversation digs into Gen Z’s “conscious unbossing,” the evolution of hustle culture, and the very real shift in power dynamics between employees and the organizations they power.
Ready to build workplaces where people actually belong and thrive? Press play.
