In our debut episode, we explore why people’s dream jobs are all about craft - using skills to create meaningful outcomes - and why modern workplaces make that so hard. We unpack the hidden tax of “work-about-work” and share simple, practical shifts you can try tomorrow to reclaim joy and focus in your work.

Let’s challenge the Work!

Welcome to Challenge The Work, where we unravel the complex dynamics of modern work culture.

We believe work should be more than just tolerable: it should be meaningful and fulfilling.

In each episode we challenge conventional wisdom and take on the status quo, diving into the root causes of workplace discontent and offering practical actions to help you reshape the way you work.

Join hosts Jules Fedele, venture builder and founder of the Portfolio Career Club, and John Rizzo, organisation architect and founder of Joyous Work. Let’s challenge the work!
