Welcome to 2050—where we still don’t have flying cars, but we’re finally getting our hiring practices right. Host Ken is joined by the formidable Lisa Gable, former Presidential appointee, U.S. Ambassador, UN Delegate, and advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Lisa is here to shake up your future and maybe your present, too. With her wealth of experience at the highest levels of government and business, Lisa predicts a world where degrees collect dust and skills steal the show, where AI is the superhero women need to get back into the game, and where universities might want to start updating their résumés. They also dive headfirst into the messy stuff—workplace conflicts, mental health, and the quest for diverse leadership. Tune in if you’re ready to trade in the status quo for something a little more exciting—like a workplace where passion trumps paychecks, and every generation can finally play nice.
