About this episode
What you'll hear in this conversation

A self-described 'recovering workaholic,' Domenico Pinto knows firsthand the allure of traditional career paths and the hidden cost of chasing them. He once measured success by 70-hour workweeks, constant travel, and material symbols like a monthly watch subscription. Now, as the author of *The Great Shift*, he argues that the very idea of career and success is being redefined, especially by new generations who prioritize integration over endless accumulation. Pinto shares how his own experience, and the broader societal changes accelerated by remote work, are prompting a fundamental reassessment of what a meaningful professional life truly looks like. Readers will leave this conversation reconsidering their own definitions of success and the role work plays in a well-lived life.

Insights from the conversation
What to take from this episode
01
Domenico Pinto’s own journey through working 'seventy, eighty hours a week' and taking a 'big holiday once a year to make up for all the hard work' reveals the often-unspoken personal toll of traditional ambition. The pursuit of external status, like the 'corner office' seen in *Suits*, frequently masks a deeper imbalance that only a personal reckoning can address.
02
The 'great shift' Pinto describes moves beyond material wealth like a 'watch subscription or the nice car' towards 'financial freedom and peace of mind' and personal fulfillment. Success is no longer solely about accumulation; it’s about establishing autonomy and finding purpose that extends beyond a monthly paycheck.
03
The Great Shift isn't just a consulting firm; it's a 'purpose-led organization' that aligns all its business with sustainable development goals and partners with B1G1 to give back to 'almost fourteen thousand people.' When a company embeds social contribution into its core DNA, it defines its identity and attracts a new kind of talent beyond purely profit motives.
04
Pinto’s company practices what it preaches, operating with a 'fully remote' team and employees across 'four continents.' Authenticity in business advice comes from living the principles you advocate; your internal structure becomes the most compelling proof of concept for your clients.
05
Pinto highlights that work, while 'still very dominant in our life,' profoundly impacts 'families, communities, stakeholders.' The integration of work and life isn't just an individual concern; it's a societal issue with ripple effects that demand a holistic approach from organizations and governments alike.
06
The shift in values means 'workaholism and traditional climbing of the career ladder are less popular in new generations' who seek 'integration of private and business.' Companies that fail to acknowledge this evolving priority risk alienating the talent pool that will drive future growth.
