In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jennifer Vey, Founder and CEO of Temporary Experts SE, to explore how personal adversity can spark transformative change. Jennifer shares her journey navigating life with a disability and the frustrating reality of being highly capable yet shut out of traditional employment models. Instead of accepting those barriers, she set out to redesign the system itself.

What emerged is Temporary Experts, a social enterprise connecting skilled professionals seeking flexible, project-based work with organizations that need experienced talent without the constraints of conventional hiring. Our conversation dives into the hidden workforce of educated, capable people sidelined by health challenges, care responsibilities, and capacity shifts, and why rethinking work isn’t just compassionate, it’s smart business.

We talk about the future of work, the myth that profit and empathy can’t coexist, and how organizations that lead with flexibility will gain a lasting competitive edge. Jennifer’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and a bold vision for an economy where inclusion drives value.

If you care about entrepreneurship, accessibility, leadership, or building a more humane workplace, this episode will change how you think about talent, productivity, and what it truly means to participate in the workforce.
