The Upside Down of Economic Mobility


Listen Later

Episode Description: Most of us are walking around with loss in our bodies, sometimes acute, sometimes old, sometimes unnamed, yet we're still expected to perform, navigate change, and make decisions like nothing happened. What if the thing blocking someone's progress isn't motivation or discipline, but capacity?.


In this episode of Home Ec, hosts Nick Ashburn and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Moraya Seeger DeGeare sit down with Michael O'Bryan, Executive Director of the Wealth and Work Futures Lab. Together, they sit inside a set of ideas that will completely change how you understand economic mobility. Instead of viewing financial success as a story about individual effort, they explore it as a story about conditions. What’s been lost, what’s never been provided, and what people are asked to carry anyway.


About Our Guest: Michael O'Bryan is the Executive Director of the Wealth and Work Futures Lab based at Drexel University's Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation. The lab brings together employers, policymakers, and communities to transform how economic mobility is framed and fostered, specifically studying the impacts of grief and loss on workforce development. He is also founder and CEO of Human Nature, a management consulting firm with a mission of putting humanity at the heart of every organization.
