What if the way we work now isn't actually working? The podcast explores the 3bears core principles that could transform not just how we work, but how we live, through honest conversations with people who are proving that another way is possible.  Host Kai Algar, a people and culture leader and founder of 3bears, believes we're at a critical moment where the workforce is evolving, and the old models aren't just failing; they're actively harming talent. This isn't about optimizing your hustle; it's about questioning everything we've been told about work and building systems that actually serve humans instead of exploiting them. This show is for you if you're tired of systems that prioritize profit over people, ready to align your work with your values, or simply curious about what real, sustainable and equitable work could look like.
