HR Happy Hour Media Network, known and recognized as one of the most prominent and independent multi-media platforms focused on discussions related to work, workplace culture, leadership, and HR technology, has launched a new podcast series called The HR Connection. This podcast has been specifically designed for HR professionals and business leaders working in small and rapidly growing organizations.
Hosted by Sabrina Baker, founder of Acacia HR Solutions, alongside Marie Rolston, HR Business Partner at Acacia, The HR Connection tackles the everyday realities of managing people in organizations ranging from one to 500 employees. Unlike enterprise-focused HR content, the podcast centers on practical leadership challenges, hiring strategies, performance management, compliance, accountability, and the foundational work required to scale people operations with limited resources.
Each episode distills learnings directly from experience and working with clients, providing no-holds-barred insights and advice that is not theoretical constructs for large corporations but applications. This is because the podcast format is designed in a manner that reflects the complexity and adaptability required in smaller corporations, where the HR leader may have multiple roles to play while still contributing to strategy.

“Small and mid-sized organizations are where an enormous amount of innovation and employment growth is happening, yet too often the HR guidance available to them is built for large enterprises,” said Steve Boese and Trish Steed, Co-Founders of H3 HR Advisors and Co-creators of the HR Happy Hour Media Network. “Sabrina and Marie bring credibility, practicality, and an operator’s mindset. The HR Connection will quickly become essential listening for HR and business leaders who need advice they can use immediately.”
For Baker and Rolston, the podcast provides a platform to spotlight the unique pressures that HR professionals and leadership teams face while building infrastructure within expanding companies.
“HR in smaller organizations requires creativity, prioritization, and a deep understanding of people and business realities,” said Baker. “We want listeners to walk away from every episode feeling more confident about what to do next.”
“Our conversations reflect what we see every day,” added Rolston. “Leaders trying to build structure while staying agile, managers learning accountability, and HR professionals building programs without big teams behind them. There are proven ways to make it work.”
The HR Connection Podcast adds to the already robust programming schedule of the HR Happy Hour Media Network. Since its launch, the HR Happy Hour Media Network has created millions of podcast downloads and video views, including some of the most respected voices in the HR, leadership, compliance, workplace culture, Gen Z, HR technology, and future of work spaces. The addition of The HR Connection Podcast to the network is a testament to the network’s dedication to HR professionals, business leaders, and tech decision-makers in all types of organizations, especially those operating in high-growth sectors.
