Let’s Talk About Got Skills, The Podcast

Let’s Talk About Skills, Baby

15-12-2021 • 17 mins

Kelly Ryan Bailey is joined by Producer Sari Weinerman and Entrepreneur in Residence Michelle Smith, to discuss the behind-the-scenes process of making our sister podcast Got Skills.

Learn why they felt a bite-sized show for career seekers was so important to build, what to expect in future seasons, and what they learned while making it!

Big Takeaways:

  1. There is so much language in societal narratives that tries to separate work and life, maintaining they are two distinct things that need to be balanced. But actually, work and life can’t be separated. They exist together like colors blended on a palette.
  2. We have spent really the better part of the last century planning our lives around work - planning where we live around where our office is located. But there has been much greater flexibility in that over the past decade and we are so glad to see it continuing to grow.
  3. Everybody's kind of going around using their own vocabulary when discussing skills. We want to be able to dissect it from each different perspective, so eventually, everyone can speak the same skills language.
