Danielle Farage and Mervyn Dinnen open with a cross-continental catch-up—from New York to London—blending personal stories and cultural commentary, including Danielle’s journey with the pronunciation and evolution of her last name. They dig into how names and backgrounds influence perception in the workplace and why identity still plays a subtle but powerful role in professional interactions.
The conversation then turns to one of the hottest Gen Z workplace trends: skipping college for the trades. Referencing the headline-grabbing article, “Gen Z workers increasingly opt out of college and into the trades: ‘There are about 2 million fewer students,’ says expert”, the hosts explore what’s driving this shift, what it means for the future of work, and how employers need to adapt.
With wit, wisdom, and a global perspective, this episode delivers insight for anyone navigating generational and cultural change in today’s workforce.
