Podcasts about portfolio career

Could your years of experience be worth more than your salary suggests?Are you at a point in your career where the ladder no longer feels like the only way up?Are you curious about what it would mean to stop putting all of your expertise into one organisation and start using it in ways that work for you?Have you been quietly wondering whether a portfolio career could be your next move but not sure where to begin?In this episode, I share the moment that changed everything for me - coming back from a mission trip in East Africa and sitting at my desk realising the contrast between the impact I'd just been making and the work I was returning to. I didn't want to burn down what I'd built. So instead, I built on the side. And that decision changed everything.A portfolio career isn't a leap into the unknown. It's a smarter way to use what you've already got.What you'll learn in this episode:Your expertise is already an asset. The foundation of any portfolio career is what you already know - not just your job title, but the depth of experience, the problems you've solved, and the value you create every single day. You've been too busy doing the work to notice how much you've accumulated.Building your safety net. A portfolio career gives you income streams and visibility outside your organisation - and in a market full of layoffs and restructures, that's not a distraction from your career, it's an insurance policy for it.Starting small and building smart. A portfolio career isn't a dramatic exit or starting from zero. It's taking what you've already built and intentionally redesigning how you use it. One speaking opportunity, one piece of content, one conversation outside your organisation - that's genuinely all it takes to begin.Send us Fan MailInvest in Yourself and Your Career:Community — Join our Network for mid-career women redesigning what's next in their careersCoaching — Join the Waitlist for The Portfolio Career Academy.

Send us Fan MailBeyond listed corporations, there is a vibrant world of start-ups, scale-ups, and organisations at the pre-IPO stage. What does it take to add value to these Boards, and how does the work differ from that of a listed organisation? Most importantly, how can working with these companies shape a Board portfolio career?In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Susanne Chishti, Chair of FINTECH Circle, Europe's first Investor Network focused on fintech investments. Susanne is an experienced Non-Executive Director, best-selling author, and in 2024, was named as one of the Top 100 Women in Fintech. She is also a former CNBC fintech commentator and a guest lecturer at the University of Cambridge and Warwick Business School.“At every single stage, customer and investor expectations increase“Susanne sees the role of Board members shifting as companies move through different stages. Initially, in the start-up stage, Board members add value by providing practical help to entrepreneurs, demonstrating a strong governance model, opening doors and developing a strong go-to-market strategy. Then, at the scale-up stage, Board members work closely with VCs and investors and add value by showing there's a strong governance model in place and that invested funds will be well looked after. When a firm prepares to go public, the role changes again, and Board members add value by helping the firm prepare for public scrutiny and public governance structures.“It is not easy for somebody who has managed 10,000 people in a large bank to come into a startup with 10 people and add value without killing the innovation, fast movement, and agility of a start-up"For Susanne, it is vital that Board members have an awareness of the scale-up cycles and where their company is in the cycle. This helps inform Board members about what value they can bring. Ideally, Board members maintain flexibility and an openness to learning what's needed in the moment. She acknowledges this requires listening, humbleness, and savvy observation of the environment.“Lots of large private companies have not yet gone public, but they are more successful, you could argue, than large, listed companies.“Susanne notes the private market is fairly new and expanding rapidly. Joining the right start-up at the right stage can offer a chance to experience a similar or greater level of challenge, opportunity, and success than at a listed firm. “In order to be inside the funnel which headhunters use, it's important to understand who the right headhunters“To get a Board seat takes intentional networking and relationship building. For networking, Susanne recommends FINTECH Circle and FinTech conferences. The three top takeaways from our conversation for effective boards are:1.     FinTech and technology sectors offer great opportunities for Board members to add value, even without a pre-existing tech background.2.    Getting a Board seat requires an intentional plan to network and build headhunter relationships. 3.    Look at this opportunity as a potential long-term enrichment of your life and an enjoyable extension of your career path.  and best-selling author, and in 2024 was named Come Join The Better Boards Community We'd love to get to know you!

Forty percent of professionals under 35 now earn from multiple income streams - and yet most people who end up with a portfolio career stumble into it by accident rather than by design. Anna Lundberg explores what a portfolio career really is, why it's rising so fast, and how to build one with the intentional architecture it needs to be both sustainable and fulfilling. Portfolio careers have a name now - and momentum: Over 63% of UK adults already have or plan to have multiple roles, but most people arrive at a portfolio by accident rather than conscious design, which is where the overwhelm starts. There's a real difference between a portfolio and just having multiple jobs: A genuine portfolio requires a coherent umbrella, deliberate architecture, and an honest view of which strands are anchoring your income, which are building your future, and which are feeding your passion. Context switching has a cost: Moving between different client worlds and problems is cognitively demanding - the solution isn't to do less, but to structure your time and identity around the portfolio model intentionally. The identity shift matters as much as the practical structure: Introducing yourself as someone with a portfolio career - not someone who "does a bit of this and a bit of that" - changes how you show up, how you make decisions, and how others see you. An audit is the place to start: Before adding anything new, label what you already have - anchor, growth, or passion layer - and decide what needs to drop to make space.

What if your career didn't have to be just one thing? In today's episode of the Doctors Crossing Carpe Diem podcast, we explore the idea of a portfolio career—a professional life made up of multiple aligned roles rather than a single, linear path. Using a powerful real-world example, we talk about how physicians can create more fulfillment, connection, and sustainability by thoughtfully diversifying how they work. I'm joined by Dr. Jess Beachkofsky, a psychiatrist who affectionately calls herself The Sunny Psychiatrist. Jess shares her journey from military medicine to telepsychiatry, private practice, and eventually a portfolio career that blends clinical work, nurse practitioner supervision, disability evaluations, teaching, and speaking. Her story is a beautiful example of how clarity often comes from experimentation—not from having it all figured out upfront. Together, we talk honestly about what wasn't working, what was missing, and how small "yeses" opened doors to a career that now feels deeply aligned. We also discuss the practical considerations of portfolio careers, including time management, income variability, benefits, and insurance—so you can explore your options with eyes wide open. If you're feeling stuck, lonely, under-stimulated, or simply curious about what else might be possible, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded guidance. In this episode we're talking about: What a portfolio career really looks like in real life How to recognize what's missing in your current role The emotional and practical benefits of career diversification Physician-friendly portfolio options inside and outside of medicine Nurse practitioner supervision as a meaningful side role The importance of small experiments instead of big leaps Questions to ask before moving away from a traditional W-2 role Links for this episode: Connect with Jessica Beachkofsky Jessica Beachkofsky's LinkedIn Episode #59: Want to Test Drive Your Career Idea?

Rebekah Rombom shares how she transitioned from a nearly decade-long role at Flatiron School to building a fractional executive practice—not by design, but by staying busy with consulting until she realized she didn't need a traditional job. Rebekah emphasizes two powerful principles: clearly articulating what you actually want (so people can help you get there), and consistently doing what you say you'll do (which remains surprisingly rare). For anyone considering fractional work, she offers practical insights on being self-directed by showing up ready to onboard yourself and delivering impact without hand-holding. Key takeaway: You can design your life, most barriers are self-imposed, and authentic clarity about your priorities opens more doors than you'd expect.

Reinventing your life or career starts with reflection and conversation. Making the leap — to a new career, to the next stage of a relationship, or to a different version of yourself — requires honest communication. For Ilana Golan, being “leap-ready” requires that we answer three questions: Why me? Why this? And why now?Golan knows all about these leaps, as her career spans corporate executive roles, entrepreneurship, and even F-16 flight instruction. As the founder of Leap Academy and host of the Leap Academy Podcast, she helps equip others to navigate their own personal and professional reinventions. As she says, “It's really about communicating from the vision,” which starts as an inside job. “Why is this the right thing for me right now? You convince yourself first, because when you're [at] peace with what you're trying to do, it's a lot easier to convince others.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Golan and host Matt Abrahams explore how honest communication shapes every stage of reinvention, whether that's listening to the signals your mind and body are sending you — like “sleepwalking through life” and imagining something more — or articulating your pivot in ways that create understanding rather than resistance. Wherever you hope to leap, Golan's insights show how to communicate through change with confidence and clarity.Episode Reference Links:Ilana GolanLeap Academy Podcast | Leap AcademyEp.187 Experimenting, Failing, and Finding Your Job Fit - Catalyze Your CareerEp.147 Disrupt Yourself: How to Innovate Who You Are and Become Who You Can Be  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:39) - Breaking Barriers & Career Patterns (02:18) - Waking Up to Change (03:42) - Signs It's Time for a Pivot (06:45) - The Rise of Portfolio Careers (10:17) - Communicating Career Leaps (13:29) - Finding Clarity in Reinvention (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (22:56) - Conclusion  *****Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you for free.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Kudzi Chikumbu, tech executive at TikTok, venture capital advisor and digital influencer on the rise of the portfolio career. He argues that the creator economy is much more than just a side hustle, but a talent pipeline which is already enabling the best creatives to leverage their talent and use social media to express their authentic creativity. The role of human differentiation in the AI age, he argues, will remain crucial as the need rises for creativity, inspiration, and identity to work alongside the machines of the future.#Tik-Tok #ContentCreators #SocialMedia

That takes all the fear away.” – “The biggest cost is always the money we're not making—the cost of inaction is higher than the cost of failure.” Connect with Ilana Golan: – Website: leapacademy.com – Portfolio Careers: portfoliocareer.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.
