In this episode, Chuck Gose and Jenni Field discuss the evolving role of the chief communications officer and the extra demands being placed on them. They explore the declining interest in management roles among employees, the challenges faced by Gen Z in securing entry-level positions, and the importance of emotional regulation in response to workplace pressures. 

They both reflect on their own careers, how they moved up the corporate ladder and the reality of jobs changing as technology evolves.
