What this episode covers
The Unruly Duo takes a trip onto the twisty road of WORK: How can we think of work without considering play? Sometimes work is sustenance and at others a joy. In the end do we dream about a ‘labor of love’––work as passion and reward? And let’s not forget the question of how work gives us our identity…or takes it away.
