We're excited to bring you the first episode of Topical Island! The COVID-19 pandemic has us questioning many aspects of our day-to-day lives - one of them being our relationship with work. This week, Kristin does a deep dive into the structure of work, how we got to our current norms and what the future of work might look like.
