How do you intentionally design a happy, sustainable culture in your organization and beyond? Who are the practitioners, intrapreneurs, and thought leaders at the fore of this shift?  Who is responsible for positively shaping culture across the globe?

On Culture Champion Radio Episode 1, we explore with Twitter's Niki Lustig how to create purpose for any team. We also discuss her strategy for taking the pulse of Twitter's culture. We even learn how food puns are important to her work.

Culture Champion Radio is produced in partnership with the Great Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. You can check out "Can Higher Purpose Help Your Team Survive and Thrive?" an accompanying article delving deeper into the science behind this podcast.

Culture Champion Radio is a podcast series hosted by our Sultan of Content, Brad Wolfe, to learn from the world’s foremost culture builders with the aim of inspiring other Culture Champions worldwide.

Through fun and interesting conversation, Culture Champion Radio intends to elevate trailblazing culture leaders and the organizations they’ve affected to inspire a shift in the way companies think about the dynamics of positive interaction, happiness, productivity, and success.

Who are Culture Champions?

Culture Champions have created “WOW” initiatives or best practices to intentionally build a positive culture in their organization or community. They are either working as a Culture Champion explicitly as defined by their organizational role or implicitly, but with purpose.  Within an organization, Culture Champions are often founders, CEOs, or executives/managers in HR, L&D, or Community. However, a Culture Champion may hold any title.
