The Rethinking Work Show22 Loka 2025

Death of the Corporate Job

What if the corporate job is no longer the default path to a meaningful career? Alex McCann, founder of TrueNorth, explains why so many young professionals feel lost at work, how Gen Z is redefining success, and why the future may belong to those who start with self-discovery instead of job titles.

Alex McCann is a writer, community builder, and founder of TrueNorth, an AI-powered career coach designed to help people build meaningful careers by starting with self-discovery, not job titles. Through TrueNorth, his MidWeek events in London, and his newsletter Still Wandering, Alex helps people in their 20s and 30s navigate uncertainty, question outdated career narratives, and define success on their own terms. His work is grounded in a simple belief: you can’t build a fulfilling career until you understand what meaning means to you. Alex now focuses on giving Gen Z and Millennials the tools, language, and community to design lives and work they can truly stand behind.
