At Slow, we have been doing a lot of thinking about how to best unbundle services for employees that used to be provided by corporations. We think there is a strong argument that as technology makes the job market more liquid and careers become a series of discrete episodes, individuals will be taking more and more personal responsibility for the career guidance, support, and learning that they need to keep growing professionally. Recently, Alex sat down with the Founder & CEO of enrich, Jordana Stein, to get her perspective.  enrich is a private network for knowledge sharing amongst professionals. Currently, enrich provides C-suite and senior leaders across companies a platform to share best practices and insider tips on how to best grow their companies to scale. Members are matched based on similar functions into small groups (6-8) for IRL or offline guided discussions on topics that range from marketing to product design to how to best manage remote teams.  It's kind of like a YPO for everyone else.  Highlights: 0:20 — What is Enrich? 4:02 — Trust! How do you enable authentic content and dialog? 9:17 — the employee lifecycle: what are employee's biggest challenges and how can they get support? 12:00 — How to work with companies to make sure they are focused on developing employee talent?

Although not everyone shares our sentiment and some even go as far as to compare ISAs to indentured servitude. Karthik Krishnan at MentorWorks recently addressed this in his article, Which is more like indentured servitude: Income share agreement or student loan? Turns out your kids are right and there is such a thing as too much homework! Did you know students are spending almost twice as much time on homework as their parents did in the 90s? Schools are starting to take notice and change their curriculums to decrease the stress it puts on students and parents.  The Information recently published an interesting article Sam wrote on Why the Internet Could Help Small Businesses Regain Power.  Coincidence or not? These hilarious correlations are probably worth none of your time but are funny.   Want moar?
