Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan

Jacob Morgan has been writing about the future of work for more than a decade, and his podcast reflects that long memory. He is less interested in the next buzzword than in whether a given trend actually sticks, and he pushes his guests, mostly CHROs and CEOs, to explain what they tried, what broke, and what the numbers say now. The show runs close to daily. Long-form interviews sit alongside shorter briefings where Jacob unpacks a single news story, a new piece of research, or a leadership question a listener sent in. Recent episodes have dug into Sam Altman's proposal for a robot tax, Newell Brands on operationalizing culture during AI rollouts, and a Stanford finding that 87 percent of U.S. productivity growth since 1950 traces back to automation. The tone is direct. Jacob will disagree with a guest on air, and he has no patience for vague answers about employee experience. Ratings sit at 4.8 from over 250 reviews. If you lead a team and feel the ground shifting under you, this is the kind of show that treats you like an adult. You won't get easy reassurance, but you will leave with sharper questions to bring to your own Monday meeting.
