The People Behind Our Growth

In our first-ever panel episode, Adam and Jack sit down with Melanie Meltzer to unpack the three pillars of Upper Crust's employee experience — support, opportunity, and benefits — before handing the mic to three team members who are living it. Jacob, Trisha, and Darnell each came to Upper Crust through a different acquisition. Listen as they share what it felt like on the other side of that uncertainty: new roles, new flexibility, and a culture that shows up for them. It's a candid look at what it actually takes to turn "we take care of our people" from a line on a job ad into something employees can point to in their own lives.
