276: Traditional Employment Doesn't and Won’t Work with Josh Drean

Gut + Science

Is traditional employment... dead? Bold claim, right? But that's exactly what our guest, Josh Drean, is here to unpack.

Josh isn’t just tossing around buzzwords—he’s a talent management and people analytics expert who’s been deep in the trenches of workforce innovation. He’s also the co-founder of Work3 Institute, where he’s actively rethinking how we work, why we work, and (most importantly) how we should work in this new digital-first world.

In this episode, we dive into what "non-traditional work" really looks like—spoiler: it's way beyond remote work and freelancing.

Together, we explore why today’s workforce is demanding more flexibility, autonomy, and purpose—and what leaders need to do right now to attract the next generation of talent (hint: it’s not just about offering snacks in the breakroom).
