Summary
In today's episode: The AI and talent pipeline panic sweeping the workplace world might be asking the wrong question entirely. A 23 year-old associate reveals the surprising, deeply human way she actually landed her job in a tough market. Learning to lead turns out to be a lifelong process that never really stops, no matter how senior someone becomes. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to debate whether AI eliminating entry-level work threatens the future talent pipeline, or whether the real story is a shrinking workforce overall.
