#581 The 100 year life with Lynda Gratton (A Career Well Spent Series)

Hi everybody, it's Helen from the Squiggly Careers Podcast. And before today's episode starts, I wanted to let you know about something that Sarah and I have created for the summer. We are gonna be launching a series all about a career well spent. We're gonna release four episodes, one every Tuesday, and it's gonna be us in conversation with an expert who can give us a different perspective on what it means to have a career well spent. We'll talk about longevity, we'll talk about relationships, we'll talk about time, we'll talk about making a difference. We wanted this to be a community learning moment too. So on Thursdays, we're gonna have a LinkedIn live where you can bring your questions, you can bring your reflections, and we'll discuss the episodes together as a community. All the links you need are going to be in the Squiggly Careers newsletter. So if this sounds like something you want to get involved in, and we really, really hope you do, it's all free and it'll be a great learning moment, then all you need to do is sign up for the newsletter. Just go to squiggly newsletter.com, that's squiggly newsletter.com, and we will send you

everything you need to know to get involved. But for now, let's get on with today's episode. I am not sure our podcast would exist um without this brilliant leader, and that is Linda, Linda Grattan. What you're doing is you're just weaving your threads. You're trying to let none of the threads become so fragile and weak that they break, but at the same time, able and confident to move into other other directions. The thread of mastery is about building things that you're good at, that you love, that you can do. The golden threads, you know, the metaphor of a weave was just such a glorious way of talking

About it are live. How do you feel that kind of AI and mastery work together, work for each other. Your biggest competitor is not going to be AI, it's going to be somebody who's using it better than you. Make yourself more human. Now what is it to be a human? Each of those threads are important. How do I start to make some choices? Like how do I start to make some decisions on those threads? Hi, my name's Sarah and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. This episode is the first one in our Ask the Expert summer series. Where we'll be reflecting on

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (35 minutes, 6,842 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
