What makes work meaningful, and why doesn’t career success always lead to fulfillment?

Jeff Westphal knows that tension firsthand. After leading Vertex, a multibillion-dollar tax technology company, he turned his attention to understanding what gives people a sense of meaning at work and how individuals and organizations can create more of it.

In this episode, we dive into the difference between success and fulfillment, including why reaching the milestones we’ve spent years pursuing can still leave us feeling like something is missing. We also discuss the role employers can play in fostering meaningful work, and how AI and automation could reshape our relationship with work.

Check out Jeff’s new book: A Work Life Worth Living: Your Guide to Creating a Meaningful Career. Amazon.
