Quotes from the show

The future of work is gonna be much, much more fluid. The idea of working for a company for the next 40 years is completely dead. We're at that stage where fractionally working for Uber than Lyft, and then DoorDash is totally cool. Fluid employment will be a norm in the future.

The biggest pitfall many leaders make, especially when looking at the innovation side, is that they're trying to adapt the past to the present. They're looking backward. In reality, you should be turning forward and saying, what can I build that's new? And what can I build that’s innovative?

The future workforce will get really bored, really quickly. So you have two options, right? Either one, you try really hard to retain them in some way. Or, two, you overhaul your business model to adapt and build processes around high churn levels. How do you capture work? How do you capture knowledge transfer?
