Portfolio Careers Are a Modern Career Phenomenon

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.
