Is it time to rethink the way we define work, purpose, and success? In this episode, we explore the case for Universal Basic Income (UBI) and why it remains a taboo topic in government discussions. With rising economic inactivity and growing dissatisfaction with traditional work structures, we challenge the assumption that full-time employment is the only path to a meaningful life.
🎙️ Key Topics:
- Why governments avoid UBI discussions
- The outdated link between work and self-worth
- How financial security could improve well-being and productivity
- Who benefits from keeping people financially insecure?
