You wanna tell us a little bit about you and, um, you know, tell us what you wanna, uh, discuss today?

Of course.

So my name is Daniel.

I became Dan from HR.

Um, and it was so amazing listening to Ravi and Matt and just seeing how people just like in the right space at the right time, and then something just totally transformative happens, and that's kind of what happened to me.

I was working as an HR business partner, and then during the pandemic, uh, someone probably gave the worst job advice I'd ever heard, and I got so angry about it that I made a TikTok account just so that I could stitch the video and say, "Don't do that." Um, and then within six months, I had about 200,000 followers, and Dan from HR was born.

And so I became kind of like this voice of how companies work from the HR side because I'm someone in that role that builds those systems.

So, um, what does a great HRBP actually need to understand about the company's business model?

Yeah, so can you bring that to life a little bit? So what's the process that someone will go through to better understand the business function or how do you go about teaching someone that doesn't have that background to make it sort of meaningful on a day-to-day level, I suppose?

My favorite story is from Spotify.

So I had come from marketing.

I was an HR business partner with marketing and data for a while.

And when I went back to New York and when I worked at Spotify, the group that they put me in was technical, very, very technical engineering products.

And I had never done that before.

And I had come from EA thinking I was, okay, I'm Mr. HR business partner.

So how have you seen this evolve over the course of your career and where do you think we are?
