Do your eyes glaze over when looking at a long list of annual health insurance enrollment options – or maybe while you’re trying to calculate how much you owe the IRS? You might be wondering the same thing we are: Where’s the guidebook for all of this grown-up stuff? Whether opening a bank account, refinancing student loans, or purchasing car insurance (...um, can we just roll the dice without it?), we’re just as confused as you are.

We spend a ridiculous amount of our lives at work—so why do so many people hate it? In this conversation, we go straight at the big question: how do we actually make work good? Together with Moe Carrick, culture architect, work futurist, and author of When Work Is Good, we unpack the seven human needs of work (connection, safety, contribution, growth, fair pay… the whole lineup), why “throw money at it” is a terrible engagement strategy, and what leaders and employees can both do—today—to create workplaces fit for human life. We also talk psychological safety, reality-checking pay perceptions, modeling the behavior we demand, and why exquisite self-care is a productivity tool, not a perk.
What you’ll learn (and probably text to your boss 😉):
The seven core needs we all have at work—and how to meet them without turning into a ping-pong table startup cliché.
Why profit vs. people is a fake fight (and why “prove the ROI” thinking keeps leaders stuck).
The employee side of the deal: recognizing choice, asking (clearly, and more than once) for what we need, and pressure-testing reality.
How to lead like a human (not a hero) and build cultures where ideas beat ego and safety fuels innovation.
A deceptively simple self-care framework for when work gets… extra, so we can keep performing without torching our nervous systems.
Because at the end of the day, if your workplace isn’t fueling growth, connection, and purpose, it’s not just bad business—it’s a soul-sucking waste of human potential, and we deserve so much better.
