    How can we prepare the next generation for a future that's changing faster than ever before? On this episode of Doing Good by Doing Better, host Margaret Rogers sits down with Chip Linehan, co-founder and co-CEO of Building 21, to unpack why preparing the next generation for the future of work requires moving past rigid academic checkboxes to focus on student agency and durable skills. Chip shares a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership, recounting how his team completely pivoted their technical training program, Launchpad, following the market release of ChatGPT. He highlights why successful innovation demands human centric leadership—shifting mindsets from what could go wrong when technology disrupts standard jobs to actively searching for what could go right.

    The Best of Season 1 and What It Means to Lead with Purpose

    What happens when leaders stop treating purpose as a “nice-to-have” and start treating it as a business imperative? At Pariveda, we believe doing good only endures when we keep learning how to do better.

    The Changing Workforce in an AI-Driven World with Bruce Ballengee

    Gen AI, Entry-Level Jobs, and How Students Can Prepare for the Workforce Pariveda CEO Margaret Rogers sits down with Bruce Ballengee, Founder of Pariveda, to explore what’s really happening in the job market, and what it means for students and early-career professionals navigating an AI-driven world. With headlines fueling anxiety around layoffs and job loss, Bruce offers a grounded perspective: many workforce shifts today are less about AI replacing jobs and more about companies reallocating resources to invest in it. Together, they unpack how AI is actually showing up in the workplace—augmenting work, not eliminating it—and why that distinction matters. They also break down how large language models work, why they can sound confident but still be wrong, and what that means for how we use them responsibly. From there, the conversation turns to what leaders are really looking for in new hires—and why critical thinking, adaptability, and real understanding still matter more than ever. For those entering the workforce, this episode offers a clear, practical perspective on how to prepare for what’s ahead. Learn more at ParivedaSolutions.com.

    The ECHO Leadership Framework, Part 2 with CEO Margaret Rogers

    Pariveda CEO Margaret Rogers closes out Part 2 of the The ECHO Leadership Framework with a practical look at what it takes to lead inside complexity while maintaining your values. Building on the ecosystem pillar from part one, Margaret unpacks the remaining three pillars, courage, humility, and ownership, and shares how to move each one from idea to behavior within an organization.  She shares how courage shows up as calculated risk-taking, honest self-reflection, and the willingness to make decisions that will not satisfy everyone. From there, she explores humility as mission-first stewardship, including how Pariveda navigated pay reductions to protect jobs, and why listening is the core discipline behind being a “first call” partner. She closes with ownership, the daily work of codifying values into decision-making, building shared accountability, and avoiding “death by a thousand cuts” when teams operate with different assumptions.
