Show Notes

In today’s episode:

  • Older Americans are being laid off in their fifties and sixties, before they're financially or emotionally ready to ready. That's forcing many into an awkward late-stage pivot.
  • Decades of institutional knowledge are no longer as valuable in the face of young people with access to the internet and AI.
  • As always, agility is the new stability.


CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
