Hi Anna! I have a similar type of business but I called it a knowledge-based lifestyle business.. I just stumbled across you from Alyce Greers Substack (she egged me on to get on here) and I love your perspective and writing, we are very aligned. So hiiiii!

Hey Stevie, lovely to meet you in the comments section 💁🏻‍♀️. Alyce is the best - such a great writer and lovely human so I'm glad she directed you my way. Congrats on everything you've built so far, it looks epic! I love the idea of a knowledge-based lifestyle business too, an ever so slightly different take on the portfolio career. Very cool 😊

And once you find it, you never lose sight of yourself again because you know when you start straying too far. You go from content to feeling off-center immediately!

Interesting concept, curious to see what other mish-mash of specialities thrive from a portfolio career.

A portfolio career in my mind is a work structure that's fully self defined. Mine includes startup consulting and fractional work, founder advisory, portfolio career mentorship, writing and my digital product, the Portfolio Career OS.

I know someone who's a startup operator and part-time musician. Another person who's an investor, advisor and on various boards. A creative who has two totally different businesses.

Once you think about work as constructed as a sum of many parts as opposed to just one thing, the opportunities are really infinite. And I think it's a pathway to living out your personal ikigai.
