Description

In this episode, I sit down with Geoffrey Colon to talk about how professionals can move through the stages of grief after job loss and channel that uncertainty into creativity and new beginnings. We dig into how the world of work is shifting toward smaller, more independent ecosystems—and the need for new support systems and policies to match.


We also explore the erosion of loyalty in corporate culture, the ripple effects of layoffs on both employees and customers, and why short-term thinking is eroding long-term resilience. Geoffrey warns of a “slow erosion” inside companies that undervalue builders and overvalue managers—a pattern that feels eerily familiar in the age of AI.


We wrap with a hopeful look at the next era of the creator economy: one grounded in depth, direct connection, and creative sovereignty.
