Work Sucks, But I Like It
How we define work needs to change today. Work Sucks, But I Like It is a show that challenges the narrow way we’ve come to define work. Most people answer the question, “What do you do?” with a job title—but that barely scratches the surface of human potential. This podcast digs deeper as success in our work is not about good luck, it's good "skills".
