In another compelling episode of GGG Unleashed, Beyond the Office, host Bill Keller takes a deep dive into two remarkable books that guide us in understanding the complexities of the future as it relates to work and life. First, he explores "The End of the World Is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zihan.

It offers an insightful look into how these changes could reshape the world, particularly in the areas of manufacturing and job markets. Next, Bill delves into "The Goal" by Eli Goldratt.
