Welcome to Season 2 of the Hype Pod! In Episode 34, the crew kicks things off with a lively discussion about the changing dynamics of work, grit, and resilience in the digital age. They reminisce about the ‘good old days’ of trading school lunches and ponder whether the rise of AI will replace the need for true grit.

The conversation takes a deeper turn as they explore the importance of in-person connections in a remote world, drawing insights from recent company offsites and global travel experiences. The crew also delves into the fascinating world of multi-generational family businesses, sharing stories from their recent visits to historical companies in Italy.

Plus, they tackle the controversial topic of DEI in the workplace, debating its impact on company culture and leadership. From the grit required to summit a mountain to the resilience needed in the face of criticism, this episode is packed with thoughtful reflections and spirited debates.

Tune in for a fresh start to Season 2, where the Hype Pod crew brings you a mix of humor, insight, and global perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in today’s fast-paced world.
