In Case You Missed It: My Conversation with The Retail Warzone

The dynamics of working in advertising, the extent to which we're antiwork, how older generations were brought up as workaholics

Hello!

As I announced last week, a few days ago I went onto The Retail Warzone, a show I discovered this year and really enjoy. Here’s a recording of our conversation:

While they had me on to discuss the particular dynamics that make advertising rife with work-humperism (I did), the last half-hour of the conversation turned to antiwork more generally. I found it very interesting to get a take on the movement from a self-described “old guard” guy who works in a grueling field and was brought up with a very hard brand of American work ethic, yet has been questioning it all since the pandemic.

Enjoy!
