BEATS WORKING SHOW

Getting Paid to Practice, BEATS WORKING to Get Paid.

The Word

Changing the way we view “work” – to something honorable – is

crucial to building a better future for our society. Meet people who are changing the word “work”, giving it a meaning of purpose and joy for their community.

The Place

The workplace should be enjoyable, not a mundane or empty experience. Meet people who are making the workplace one where everyone can find joy and gratification.

The Way

We can’t win the game of work without changing the way work is done. Meet people who are empowering their employees to make their maximum, unique contribution.

Listen to The Show

We are on a mission to redeem work – the Word, the Place and the Way.
