Work Chat: The podcast that's about more than just your job
Podcast Description
Work Chat is a podcast about the humanity behind and in work. We explore the current state of work, what "modern work" or "the future of work" means, how work came to mean what it does today, what it meant in the past, why work sucks so much today, and how we build a society that celebrate the choices we all make to build, do, and create things with other people, teams, and the relationships we build through them.
