  • I’m a big fan of work for humans. The core concepts, that work is a product that can be designed and employees are the first customers of a business, are very compelling, and each episode looks at these ideas in a different way with the help of field-leading experts. I would highly recommend the show to everyone, employers and employees alike.

Q: How does the concept of calling relate to religion and work, and what are its risks?
