Testing freelance work: side hustles and backfills

The way we work is changing—and it’s not going back. In this episode, we sit down with Brea Starmer, founder and CEO of Lions & Tigers, to break down the rise of blended teams, where full-time employees work alongside independent experts.

They explore why women are leaving rigid career structures, how AI is widening skills gaps, and what companies must do to build flexible, high-performing teams for the future of work.

You’ll learn:

• Why blended teams are becoming the new standard
• How flexible work can still support growth and stability
• What leaders need to rethink in the AI era
