  • 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.

    Hey Dart, that conversation with Ashley was gold. I resonated with what you mentioned, to become a strategic player for business leaders, and that when it comes to people, to strive for scale. Left 5-star ratings and reviews!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Does It Mean to Be Rational at Work? | Barry Schwartz
Q: How does rational choice theory fail as a description of real decision-making, and what are the alternatives?
Rational choice theory oversimplifies by treating decisions as if they can be reduced to calculating a single expected utility, ignoring context, values, and moral considerations. The alternative involves embracing judgment, perspective-taking, and a bifocal view that balances short-term and long-term outcomes without forcing all decisions into a single quantitative scale.
From “Me” to “We”: What Leadership Is Really About | Josh Block
Q: How do you handle unknowns in a large organization to avoid destabilizing the team?
Be explicit about what you know and what you don't know, communicate early, and keep lines open for updates as situations evolve, which helps maintain trust and reduces uncertainty.
From “Me” to “We”: What Leadership Is Really About | Josh Block
Q: What is the shift from the MeCycle to the WeCycle about, and why does it matter for a growing company?
It's about changing how leaders and teams interact—moving from self-preservation to collective ownership, inviting input, and building a culture where people feel safe and valued, which in turn drives sustainable performance.
Designing Transformation: How Experience Changes People | Claus Raasted and Paul Bulencea, Revisited
Q: What job do you hire your job to do for you?
They emphasize that work as a practice should enable growth, learning, and service, not just financial return, with a focus on crafting experiences that align personal development with organizational goals.
The Hidden Cost of Certainty at Work | Margaret Heffernan
Q: What thread did you begin to unravel in this book, and what did you discover?
I explored how creative minds anticipate and imagine futures without relying on rigid prediction, and I discovered that curiosity, courage, and patience allow people to navigate uncertainty while still acting decisively.
