Episode notes
Corporatization Killed Practical Skills
- Durendal observed modern corporatization and education infantilize people and remove traditional self-employment skills.
- He argues this shift left society dependent on wage labor and hollowed practical know-how from communities.
Investing In One Man Changes Lives
- Durendal described mentoring a young, inexperienced worker by paying for his driver's permit and arranging training opportunities.
- Small investments and guidance turned the recruit into a reliable, loyal worker who repays the favor in labor and trust.
Rotate Trainees Through Real Jobs
