BACKGROUND & CURATORS

In the first half of our careers, we’re promoted for listening well and hyper-specializing. For being the best person on the team at a specific task.

And 5-15 years in, the expectations change. We’re expected to foresee macro/industry trends and capitalize on them. To know enough about different business functions to cross-collaborate and make big decisions. To source deals and close new clients.

The MBA was the traditional, albeit flawed, path for building a well-rounded business skill set. After Covid, the MBA is an expensive risk.

At the same time, managerial skills have never been more important. If you’re not driving strategy or closing deals, your job is in danger of being automated or outsourced away.

At brunchwork, our founders have been obsessively studying and teaching business, with a focus on influence and networking, for the last 15 years collectively.

And, we’re equally obsessed with the applications of behavior science – specifically what causes people to engage and connect. Our business class is a transformative experience, designed to meaningfully connect you with the material and the broader business/tech ecosystem.
