Description

Our guest Jen McComas started out intercepting calls for help from customers and building herself a tech support position. This "build your own" theme continued in her career as Jen invented roles in subsequent technology companies, culminating with becoming a division CTO at IBM. We talk about the changing definition of work and productivity, the importance of curiosity, and how staying in your swim lane may shrink your pool.   Jobs of the future https://www.voanews.com/usa/all-about-america/most-2030s-jobs-havent-been-invented-yet Unpaid work and GDP https://theconversation.com/womens-unpaid-work-must-be-included-in-gdp-calculations-lessons-from-history-98110 Clan Aran Sweater Market https://www.aransweatermarket.com/clan-aran-sweaters?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg63uzPzv8AIVlLWzCh08oALMEAAYASAAEgJgR_D_BwE
