Episode notes

Season 4 is a wrap and this episode is our 2025 Work Mixtape.

Across nine episodes, this year quietly and sometimes loudly rewired how we think about work, careers, identity and contribution. From portfolio lives over single job titles, to contribution over credentials, this wrap-up pulls together the ideas, moments and shifts that stayed with us most.

We revisit guests who changed how we show up, from rethinking LinkedIn with Claudia, to Antoinette’s powerful reminder that work is ultimately about dignity, agency and purpose. We reflect on the most human moments of the year, the funniest behind-the-scenes chaos, and the transitions that almost changed everything.

We also look ahead to what we are carrying into 2026: radical open-mindedness about what work can be, generosity as a strategy, and a deeper commitment to exploring the messy intersection of AI, creativity, dignity and human work.

Season 5 is already underway, with live events, new collaborations including our partnership with She Shapes AI, and more strange, honest conversations ahead.

If your career feels in flux, this one’s for you.
