An introduction to modern work
Welcome to the Modern Work podcast. I’m Katherine Conaway, and I talk to people about the work they do & how they got there.
Our episodes feature in-depth 1:1 interviews, and the show notes include each person's bio, links, and notes from our conversation.
The introduction episode features clips from various interviews conducted with remote workers & digital nomads.
About katherine
I quit my job as a producer at a design studio in NYC in June 2014 to travel and ended up getting some freelance work at the same time, so I decided to keep going while I had income... and here I am, still traveling full time and working remotely, way longer than I ever would have imagined.
Since 2014, I've been a freelance consultant, marketing head of content, editor, and writer. I am the founder of Conaway Creative.
I also write essays on Medium, and I cowrote and self published a book (The Digital Nomad Survival Guide). I am passionate about art, culture, education, and communication — which started with my Art History degree from Williams College but has grown into so much more.
I am constantly meeting people - fellow travelers and remote workers, business travelers and expats, vacationers and backpackers, and locals.
As I asked questions about their lives and careers, the stories I heard fascinated me. I decided to sit them down & press record, so that I could share those conversations with other people — thus began the Modern Work podcast.
While we’re fascinated by the details and lives of celebrities and leaders, we rarely learn as much about the work & lives of people around us — or get deep insight to the jobs or careers we ourselves may be considering. My hope is that Modern Work can help us discover more about the professions we constantly encounter (as well as those we may never have imagined exist).
