Thanks for this! I'm in the very early days of trying to start (something) of my own, after 15+ years of trying to climb the ladder in my 9-5. After feeling dissatisfied for most of that time, it was only last year that I realised that I could actually build something for myself, that would give me more agency over my life.

Your words about generalists really spoke to me - I've spent my whole career thinking there was something wrong with me because I never felt like an expert in anything, even after so many years. I have about a million ideas about where I could take my business and I think a portfolio career might be where it's at for me. Exciting, and scary!

♥️ Absolutely in agreement—in my opinion the career ladder is crumbling and we have to figure out what that means for future leaders. We’ve already seen a huge shift in how people own their careers and to your point no it’s not always the 9-5.
