Episode 29: Gifted Underachievers
The podcast for midlevel creatives with delusional ambitions
It’s been a rough week for everyone, including your Gifted Underachievers. In this episode, we talk about the issues raised by events in the world and in our lives. For example:
what happens to your creative and creative-adjacent work if you’re incapacitated? (12 mins)
is angst at a messy office rooted in angst at the messiness of life? (12 mins)
what little experiments can you do to move your career forward? (23 mins)
Who's Got Your Back?
There’s lots of talk about networking and community, and those are great for all kinds of things, like sharing information, creating connections, and finding collaborators. But Pat’s current experience with a major life event outside of work has sparked a deeper question: When your personal life goes sideways, does someone have your back?
James Hangs a Picture
Everything feels very messy these days. In this segment we ask--is Pat's aversion to a messy office the sign of her messy life?
