The Rise of Entrepreneurship and Changing Work Dynamics

The podcast episode explores the increasing trend of people starting their own businesses and working in non-traditional ways. The number of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and gig workers has been growing rapidly, accelerated further by the impact of COVID-19. This shift is attributed to the changing dynamics of work and the automation of traditional support structures within companies.
