In this episode of WORK, Erika sits down with Rishad Tobaccowala—futurist, author, and former Chief Growth Officer at Publicis Groupe—for a big-picture conversation about how work is evolving and what it really takes to stay relevant. From demographic shifts and declining populations to AI, Gen Z mindsets, and the rise of marketplaces and side hustles, Rishad breaks down the five forces transforming work as we know it.

They explore why most companies are asking the wrong questions, how leaders should rethink their org design, and why fewer jobs doesn’t mean less work. Plus, Rishad shares his daily learning practice, his favorite “ 6 Cs for success” and why thinking like an immigrant is the key to future-proofing your career.
