In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Agustin Chevez, researcher, author, and one of the most original minds exploring the future of work. In his quest to better understand the nature of work and how we engage with it, Agustin didn’t just write papers or give talks — he went on a literal pilgrimage.

Dr. Chevez embarked on a long, reflective journey, walking across Australia, stepping away from the routines of daily life. Along the way, through encounters with people, places, and unexpected moments, he explored the foundational questions of our working lives: What is work? What meaning does it hold in our lives? And how do workplaces shape, restrict, or inspire us?

His reflections became the basis of his thought-provoking book, The Pilgrim’s Guide to the Workplace, and sparked an ongoing journey into the nature of transformation, purpose, and space. His insights move fluidly between surprising touchpoints — from Rubik’s Cubes to rocket launches — offering a fresh lens through which we can rethink the past, present, and future of work.

Join me for a fascinating conversation with Gus, as we explore his journey, his big questions, and the ideas helping redefine what work — and the workplace — can become.
