Workplace wellbeing consultant Steven Dargan is back on the podcast a second time. This time we explore why we turn up to work, how stress quietly spills into every area of life, and why autonomy and intrinsic motivation matter more than hours logged. We touch on the four-day week, AI as a potential catalyst for systemic change, and why human connection, community, and meaning may become even more essential in an increasingly automated world.

Go to Episode 4 to listen to Stephen' s first visit on the podcast.
