It’s about what young people are never told. Together, Shayne and Darren explore: what young people misunderstand about how work really works why so many capable people feel stuck early in their careers how decisions are actually made inside organisations what skills matter most in a changing economy how AI is reshaping work — without the fear and what Darren wishes he understood at 18 This episode is part of a wider Youthonomics project, a continuous conversation designed to help young people navigate life, work, and the economy with clarity and confidence.
