Episode Details

This is a revisit of a very conversation I had with the lovely Anna Mackenzie this time last year wherein we explorde how portfolio careers have moved from niche to mainstream, accelerated by AI and changing attitudes toward work. It was a catalyst of a conversation that sent me on my trajectory to writing my book Polyworker which is why I've included it in this BTS series.

Give a listen to Anna and I's discussion about designing multiple income streams, balancing your newfound creative freedom with discipline, and the value of community and mentorship.

This episode is jam packed with practical topics including building a fractional practice, getting going with your Substack and content strategy, managing your first product launch, and both of our predictions for how work and public policy would adapt in 2026. You'll get loads of insights on building meaningful, flexible careers that combine creativity, stability, and personal fulfillment.
