What’s the real difference between work and labor—and why does it matter more than ever in the age of AI?

Explore the intersection of work, labor, and emerging technologies. Drawing from James Suzman’s book Work, Scott unpacks how purposeful energy creates meaning, how repetitive labor is shifting toward automation, and how solopreneurs can choose work that matters—the kind that aligns with who you are, what you’re good at, and where you belong.

In this episode you’ll learn:

* A clear, usable definition of work versus labor

* Why AI will eliminate much of task-oriented labor (and why that’s good news)

* The danger of outsourcing the very craft you want to master

* A compass for finding “work that matters”: identity, ability, and belonging

* Why voicing your values publicly attracts the people you’re meant to serve

Resources Mentioned:

* James Suzman’s Work
