How having a “non-linear career” will make you MORE intelligent and successful

HOST

I spent last night writing down my thoughts about what it means to have a non-linear career path

INT./EXT. — PROBLEM

Validate the viewer's struggle with societal pressure to stay on a linear path.

[00:05]

HOST

and how we as a collective can one, normalize it more, but two, find ways to cope

[00:11]

and even like seek out a non-linear career path to make us more intelligent, more successful, and lower the stakes.

[00:18]

Because over 60% of us work in careers that are not even remotely relative to what we went to school for.

We need to normalize the art of a non-linear career path and stop making ourselves and others feel fucking bad for not staying on a straight and narrow path.

INT./EXT. — SOLUTION

Reframe the non-linear career as a data collection process for self-discovery.

[00:33]

HOST

A way to psychologically reframe this is that as humans, we are so wired to always, always, always be seeking certainty at any given point in time.

[00:42]

Our brains hate the feeling of the unknown.

[00:44]

Or in the unknown, our brains cannot predict danger.

[00:47]

Which is often why we react with things like panic, fear, self-doubt, shame, and anxiety.

[00:53]

It is literally our biology just reacting to a state of unpredictability.

[00:57]

The shift here is that this art of like meandering throughout your career

[01:02]

is actually a way to rewire our brains to be more fucking intelligent.

[01:06]

It's actually that simple.

HOST

If you think about it in this way from a psychological point of view

[01:11]

as you are going throughout your life, maybe jumping to five different jobs in your 20s, starting a business, leaving that one, starting another one, doing a complete 180, shifting industries, changing cities.

[01:22]

Although it might feel random at the time, every single time you are making one of those actions in pursuit of curiosity and whatever is lighting fire under your ass at any given point in time, collecting data.

[01:33]

And so the really intelligent thing to do as you collect that data

INT./EXT. — PROOF

Explain how this mindset makes you more intelligent and capable of interpreting your own life.

[01:37]

HOST

is to start interpreting it.

[01:38]

So if you start getting in this frame of mind of seeking curiosity, taking action to pursue for the sake of that curiosity

[01:47]

you have now collected multiple data points.

That shows your brain that you are capable of determining what excites you, what you value, and what you truly care about in your life.

[01:57]

And that kind of data cannot be replicated in any other aspect of your life.

[02:01]

That kind of data is so valuable because it helps you know yourself so much deeper.

[02:05]

It also helps your brain literally learn to act as an interpreter and an analyst at all times.

[02:10]

Which inevitably makes us more intelligent.

[02:12]

If you are retaining the same career for maybe 20, 30 years, you're staying on one path

[02:17]

you are only learning and understanding one version of yourself.

[02:21]

In a meandering career, you naturally allow your curiosity to take control and steer the wheel of your career.

[02:26]

You are learning and understanding every single version of yourself.
