Where we've been and where we're going

Welcome Back to How People Work.

Is “work” just a means to an end, or is it a calling?

In this episode, Jordan and Jason explore the cultural shifts redefining the workplace. From "quiet quitting" to the generational divide between native digital and native analog workers, they dive deep into what motivates each group. Why do older generations view work transactionally—"be thankful you have a job"—while younger ones prioritize purpose over pay? How can businesses balance self-expression and the bottom line?

Jason and Jordan also tackle the nuanced pressures of producing results in a modern workforce, fostering empathy, and navigating productive friction. They debate what it means to create value and build a better future of work—while giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.
