Innovative Work Models for the Future with Alex Filipuk
Today the “future of work” often sounds like a buzzword, because most people are still living with outdated models.
Recent research from McKinsey shows that a little over half of workers prefer remote or flexible arrangements, and flexible work models are now one of the top reasons people change jobs.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Alex Filipuk, CEO and Founder of Ideal Siding, to explore what truly innovative work models look like in a hands-on, franchise driven industry.
Alex shares powerful insights on:
• How to rethink work models beyond tech and office based roles
• The systems that keep distributed teams aligned, accountable, and empowered
• Why purpose matters when you are redesigning how people work and grow
• Practical ways to make work more human without sacrificing performance

The future of work is not just about where people sit. It is about how we design work so that businesses thrive and people do too.
