A Walk Across the Generation Gap
On different attitudes towards work across two generations with our guest Balázs Fejes.
This is our second guest episode, recorded between concerts at Primavera Sound Festival, where Anikó and her brother Balázs, who lives on the other side of the globe, reconnect each year. We walked around the parks of Barcelona, discussing the diverse values that drive our two very different careers.
The path we took:
- Getting to know Balázs, who manages product teams across the APAC region from their office in Hong Kong.
- Why our episodes can sound like two aliens talking to someone in the same field, but in a different generation.
- The place for pro bono work, social impact projects, and charity.
- How two people with similar personalities and environments can end up with wildly different value sets and career paths.
- Productivity metric-driven teams, and high performers taking our jobs.
- And where to start anew when AI takes over the world.
Grab your headphones and a bottle of water, and head to your favorite park to walk with us!
