Episode Synopsis

Dan Smolen is the Executive Producer and host of the What's Your Work Fit? podcast, an engagement platform bringing together today's business and workplace thought leaders, hiring managers, and career seekers. As a skilled communicator and thought leader, he is nationally recognized as an advocate for the future of work and employees doing meaningful work.  Dan began his career in advertising and marketing, earning a US patent for his digital marketing and targeting methodology. After founding The Green Suits, a nationally respected talent recruitment firm, Dan published his first book, Tailoring the Green Suit. In this episode… The traditional work model entails measuring productivity based on hours, and the transition to remote work has initiated surveillance technology that monitors activity such as keystrokes. But the pandemic's economic implications have engendered a substantial cultural shift, increasing demands for autonomy. So how can you cultivate meaningful work styles? Future of work advocate Dan Smolen emphasizes evaluating the work produced and outcomes achieved to assess productivity. This provides employees the freedom to focus on personal matters during their work day. But a conventional work-life balance is not sufficient enough in that it implies a definitive split between the two. Instead, Dan proposes discovering your work fit to connect with purposeful work and customize it to adhere to your lifestyle.  Join Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly in this episode of What The Teck? as they talk with Executive Producer and host of What's Your Work Fit?, Dan Smolen, about structuring your career around your life. Dan describes productivity paranoia, the benefits of meaningful work, and how American work culture differs from European cultures.
