About Your Work Friends
We break down the now and next of work. You stay ahead. Its not just you - work is bonkers. Burnout is high, trust is low, and everything is changing at breakneck speed. Friend-to-friend? We get it. We're in it. And we're here to guide you through it. We’re two leadership insiders—and real-life friends—who’ve led teams, sat in the tough seats, and know first hand how fast, complex, and personal work has become. Every week, we break down what’s happening at work and to work, taking you behind the scenes of what's happening now, and preparing you for what you'll see in 6 months. We're bringing you breaking news, workplace trends, and interviews with top experts shaping the future of work. We cover what’s changing so you don’t get left behind. Join us for smart, unfiltered (with the occasional f*bomb or two) conversations about how work is evolving and what you can do about it. Great for: • Employees rethinking their careers and trying to navigate what comes next • People leaders shaping culture and driving change while getting the work done • Orgs wanting to build smarter, more profitable, more human workplaces • Anyone craving more honest and practical conversations about the future of work Topics we cover: Future of work, leadership, workplace culture, team dynamics, change management, human-centered strategy, layoffs, burnout, performance, career growth, workplace news, workplace humor, and more.

Published 15 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] They don't have to be quick responses, but two more questions. Yes, I have a hard stop. For someone who is listening, who might be reconsidering college or mid-career, right? And they're thinking about, what do I want to pivot to? What would you want them to understand about opportunities in the trades? Talk to someone who's in the trades, find someone who's maybe in the first five years, find someone maybe in the middle of their career. And if you know anybody at the end, if you have that luxury to get advice from all three, you'll get different answers, but you'll get the longevity of kind of what they go through because it's all around the same, regardless of generations, they work the same way.
