Welcome to Hello Monday – a show where senior editor at large Jessi Hempel investigates the changing nature of work, and how that work is changing us. What does work mean to us? Should we love what we do? Join Jessi as she talks with guests such as Seth Meyers, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Melinda Gates to unearth lessons that apply to our own careers. These conversations are enriched by original reporting by LinkedIn's managing editor, Caroline Fairchild. Season 1 has wrapped, but keep your eyes peeled for Season 2 debuting later this year.
