Episode description
70-year old Ben Whittaker is hired as “Senior Intern” at an e-commerce startup, where he meets the savvy but overworked founder Jules Ostin. Though he faces skepticism initially, Ben wins over the team, serving as a font of wisdom as Jules debates whether to replace herself as CEO. It’s an insightful look into:
The founder’s journey and the importance of self-awareness in leaders, how rapidly scaling teams can better manage complexity, and ageism and the multi-generational workplace.
Hosted by Paula Cizek, Jane Garza, and Dr. Kim Perkins.
