Summary
What does it actually mean to get ahead — and stay sane doing it? On Monday's episode, career coach Emily Durham (a.k.a. Emily the Recruiter, with 3 million+ followers across social media) cuts through the noise with her new book Clock In: No-BS Advice for Getting Ahead in Your Career (Without Losing Your Mind): forget the dream job mythology, make your value visible, and remember your job is what you do — not who you are. Then, Harvard professor and serial entrepreneur Christina Wallace shows us why the old career playbook is broken — and how building a Portfolio Life full of optionality, rest, and identity beyond your title is the smarter path forward. Two straight-shooting takes on work, burnout, and what a fulfilling career actually looks like. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
