Recorded live from the Mannington Commercial New York Showroom, this conversation explores an unexpected model for the future of work: guide dog training.

Amanda Schneider is joined by Deborah Golden, author of the foreword of Work for What’s Next, and John Miller, CEO of Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs, to examine what the process of raising and training guide dogs reveals about judgment, trust, confidence, and independence—capabilities becoming increasingly essential as organizations navigate artificial intelligence, accelerating change, and greater uncertainty.

Rather than teaching obedience, guide dog training prepares dogs (and the people who depend on them) for situations that cannot be anticipated one by one. That same shift is reshaping leadership today. The conversation explores what it means to develop good judgment, design environments where people can succeed, and prepare organizations for a future without a complete playbook.

Recorded live at the Mannington Atlanta showroom, this episode explores a question facing every industry: as Gen Z enters the workforce, are we collectively setting them up to succeed?

Gen Z is entering a workplace with changing context to the one we entered. AI is changing how work gets done. Communication norms are shifting. Career paths are less linear. And the definition of “work ready” is changing right along with them. So, what does Gen Z need to learn? What does the workplace need to unlearn? And how do students, educators, and employers prepare for what comes next?

Amanda brings together leaders from business, education, and the next generation itself: Janet Simpson, CEO of TVS, one of the nation’s top design firms; Tony Purvis, who leads interior design at SCAD Atlanta; and Amy Breidenthal, who teaches business at Agnes Scott College and Georgia Tech. They’re joined by students from all three institutions, putting the people preparing the next generation, hiring them, and becoming them in the same conversation.

Recorded live with Office Revolution in Chicago in the Haworth showroom, this episode explores what may be the next great workplace challenge: how organizations can deliver individualized experiences while maintaining alignment, efficiency, and culture.

Inspired by ideas from I Can Fit That In and Work for What's Next, Amanda is joined by leadership coach and author Erin Coupe alongside Tyler Blackwell, a corporate leader who is navigating these tensions in real time. Together, they examine why flexibility looks different for everyone, why most people have never stopped to define what "better" actually means for themselves, and what organizations can do when individual preferences collide with business realities.

Because employees increasingly expect work to fit their lives, yet businesses still need systems that are fair, scalable, and effective. Here's what we're learning—and what it could mean for how your organization works next.
