Nick Offerman visits Would Works--with a special message for millennials
called #HelloMonday, he decided to bring the cameras to Would Works. The #HelloMonday video series aims to inspire people to achieve their own definition of success for the week--so what is a more fitting backdrop to this message than Would Works on a Monday--where the artisans are working hard to achieve concrete and immediate life goals?
When just before filming Linkedin changed the subject of the series to #SundayScaries: Combatting weekend workplace woes, we had to reevaluate the message. What does the Gen Z and millennial propensity towards workweek anxiety have to do with Would Works? Nick reminds them that having a job is in fact quite a luxury. After all, our artisans are working hard to get back into the workforce and for the simple necessities a reliable paycheck provides. Without being guilt-inducing, Nick finds a way to deliver the message eloquently and humorously.

Beyond woodworking, Nick Offerman highlights the “incredibly benevolent and warm humanism” at the heart of Would Works. "We're giving people … mental health, counseling, job counseling, life coaching. It's a place to say, 'Come on in, I see you, I care about you, I recognize the trouble you might be having. Here's a sandwich, here's a bowl of soup. Now, this is a hand plane,'" Offerman said.
