And rather than resisting the inevitable changes already afoot, knowing how to adapt to these changes is what will ensure your job security and general happiness in the world to come, according to Entrepreneur magazine editor Jason Feifer in his book Build for Tomorrow: An Action Plan for Embracing Change, Adapting Fast, and Future-Proofing Your Career. On this episode, Jason joins us to discuss what the workers of the world gained when the bubonic plague killed off 60 percent of Medieval Europe (and how our current collective experience with COVID is causing similar workforce upheavals), the pros and cons of the four-day workweek, why failure should be seen as a source of valuable information that informs future steps instead of an ominous dead end sign, what people who parrot the erroneous maxim that “nine out of 10 businesses fail” are leaving out of the equation, and what we can do to take disruptions to the status quo as opportunities to change for the better rather than succumbing to the panic that often accompanies the unknown.
