We’re more independent at work than ever. But does that mean we need each other less?

In Episode 4 of The Shift with Greg James, Greg speaks with Mo Moubayed, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Veridooh, about building strong teams, creating space for mentorship and maintaining connection in a flexible workplace.

Elizabeth Kisova, an NYU integrated marketing graduate student, digital creator and OUTFRONT Media intern, joins to share a next-gen perspective on workplace relationships and the balance between helping others and protecting your own time.

Together, they explore the value of community, the everyday moments that make collaboration work, and why being a “villager” shouldn’t mean being available to everyone all the time.

Two generations. One honest conversation about independence, connection and the people who help us grow.

What does an entrepreneurial mindset look like in today’s workplace?

In Episode 3 of The Shift with Greg James, Greg explores entrepreneurship, career development and building your own path with founder and CEO Sreya Halder and Next Gen guest Juan Pablo Cajiga.

Sreya Halder, founder and CEO of The Mall, shares how her career across art, technology, fashion, content and entrepreneurship shaped her approach to work. She discusses taking risks, building a personal brand, navigating the creator economy and having the confidence to pursue a vision before everyone else can see it.

Juan Pablo Cajiga brings the perspective of someone actively navigating a career change. After studying psychology and working in medical research, he moved into marketing and is now studying integrated marketing at NYU. He reflects on taking risks, moving from Mexico City to New York and finding the experiences and interests that shape his perspective.

Together, they explore what an entrepreneurial mindset can look like inside and outside a company, how people can identify opportunities, why lived experience can create a valuable perspective and why breadth of skills can matter as much as depth of expertise.

How do you know when it’s time for a career change, and how do you find the courage to actually make it?

In Episode 2 of The Shift with Greg James, Greg sits down with Teresa Soos, Associate Director of Marketing & Communications at Havas Media Network, whose career has taken her from film and cinematography to education, change management and ultimately marketing and communications.

Teresa shares what she learned from making multiple career pivots, how to recognize when the path you’re on is no longer the right one, and why changing careers doesn’t mean starting over.

Then, Dragana Stankovic, an NYU integrated marketing graduate student and former entrepreneur, joins the conversation to bring a next-gen perspective. After building a fashion brand in Europe and moving to the U.S., Dragana is navigating her own career transition and figuring out what comes next.

Together, they explore the art of the pivot, the pressure to have your career figured out, the value of transferable skills, and why changing your mind shouldn’t be confused with failure.

Two generations. One honest conversation about having the courage to change course.

Who are you when your job title disappears?

In the debut episode of The Shift with Greg James, Greg sits down with Joy Doyin Ogunneye - Global Innovation & Brand Comms Lead for Aveeno Face, Sun & Hair - who traded a career in banking for twenty-five years in beauty.
