Welcome back to Season 3 of Breaking the Mould! In our premiere episode, hosts and Radix HR co-founders Marie Ampeloquio and Randy Lobiano sit down to share the untold, deeply personal origin story of their company. What started as “EBI Solutions” in the midst of the 2020 pandemic—born out of survival, personal grief, and a desire to serve the underserved—eventually evolved into something much bigger. Marie and Randy discuss the pivotal moments that made them realize they weren’t just an “HR company,” but a business transformation partner helping organizations become capable of the future they want. 🎙️
In this episode, we cover:
1. The Origins: How the pandemic and a profound personal loss catalyzed the creation of the company.
2. Contrasting Paths: Randy’s hustle from being a young breadwinner and technical sourcer to a wedding photographer and entrepreneur, contrasted with Marie’s transition from a C-level executive.
3. The Identity Crisis: The struggle of being misidentified as just recruiters or trainers, and the turning point where they realized they were actually solving deep-rooted business and leadership problems.
4. The Radix HR Framework: A look into their three-phase approach (Hygiene, Strategy, Transformation) to aligning people with corporate strategy. “Radix HR was never created. It was revealed through the problems we kept solving.”
