Remote work, the creator economy, and peer-to-peer gig services have given rise to the modern “portfolio career.” This approach is exciting: by diversifying your income stream, the types of work that you do, and the people you work with, you can forge a unique and versatile career path. But you must be very strategic.On this episode of the Startup of You Podcast, Reid and Ben explain what a portfolio career looks like in action, why and when Reid has run a portfolio career vs. a focused career, and why letting too much optionality into your life at the wrong time can be a liability.They also answer listener questions about navigating generational divides, work-life balance, and how to find a mentor.Follow Reid Hoffman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reidhoffman/Follow Ben Casnocha on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bencasnocha/Check out the Startup of You Website: https://www.startupofyou.comPlease rate/review us on your favorite app – and be sure to follow or subscribe.Thanks for listening.
