Before Doug Hood was a Value Engineering Consultant at UKG, he was riding shotgun in a sea plane, landing on a crab ship in the Bering Sea… with a box of timeclocks. In this unforgettable episode, Doug shares how his journey from the military to Kronos in the '90s took him from Boeing job rejections to installing time systems on fishing vessels — and everything in between.

We talk about his roots in labor management, what’s changed (and hasn’t) in workforce tech, and how those early missions shaped his approach to client strategy and resilience. It’s part war story, part tech tale — and 100% real.
