Welcome to Good Work - a podcast exploring work as a human endeavor, through the stories of the people doing it every day.

So many people’s daily work is an act of deep personal passion and purpose, a dedication to craft and to community. However, in our national conversation about work much of that depth and breadth seems to be missing, replaced with flyover discussions of unemployment numbers, Silicon Valley unicorn companies and, depending on which politician you’re listening to, rhetoric about robots or immigrants “stealing our jobs."

Work is so much more than that. So much more personal, and even more powerful. Work, good work, is part of the solution to our greatest challenges.

The goal of this show is to encourage, challenge and empower, by hearing from people doing all kinds of good work. We hope you’ll join us.

We've also included a little sneak preview of the first episode.
