Summary
Corporate jobs have conditioned us to divide work life from community. The division of labor disconnects us from meaningful work, from customers, and from each other. Dave and Lou will open a conversation about the questions we're holding and what we are learning about connection, community, and the future of work. This will be an informal session. We will kick it off with a few thoughts and open the floor for discussion.
