In the first episode of A New Work Order, hosts Graeme Goulden and Mickela Sonola break down a phrase that gets used a lot without much explanation: sweat equity. They cover what it actually means to trade your time and skills for a stake in a business instead of a wage, why it's becoming more relevant amid rising living costs and shrinking pensions, and how platforms like SweatLink are trying to make equity-for-skills deals more accessible, and safer, for everyone involved.
