With Joe Wehbe #193: Nassim Taleb On Optionality — The No. 1 Career Skill That Everyday People Don’t Understand
Never heard of the term ‘optionality’? Don’t worry, few people have, but I argue it’s one of the most applicable of Nassim Taleb’s ideas to career, especially unconventional careers.
We do a full deconstruction in this episode and I give Luke examples on how to implement it. It’s particularly powerful because, as Taleb says, it overcomes the need for intelligence, smarts, cognitive ability ‘and all these other things happening in our brains cells’.
Starting from episode 181, we’re doing a series on Nassim Nicholas Taleb, his book Antifragile and the application of his ideas to learning, education and careers.
Full blog post summarsing the ideas in this podcast series.
