So your company has gone global. You've been relocated to another continent where the language, culture, and norms make you feel even more disconnected than you already are. Livelyhood offers a few tips and stories to help you cope in this quick changing global economy. Host Will Durst also travels to Italy to understand the Slow Food movement, attempting to counter fast food and long hours at the office; Singapore to meet up with a globetrotting mom who spends 12 days a month in a different time zone than her kids; and Bangalore, India, where telemarketers use American aliases to put customers on the other end of the line at ease. Also featuring a third-generation Venetian gondolier operator; Brazilian talk show host Joe Suarez; and Geek corps volunteers bridging the digital divide in Africa.
