I sat down with Portfolio Career Mentor and future of work commentator, Julie Fedele, for a grounded conversation about the future of work - especially for women entrepreneurs.

We explore why the traditional doom-and-gloom narrative about the future of work misses the mark, and how technological change and AI are opening up new opportunities for flexible careers and personal agency, without getting stuck in gig economy traps. We spoke to how to monetise your expertise, why your value goes far beyond trading time for money, and the powerful role of personal branding and community in an evolving business landscape.
