008 - The Generation That Refused to Fake It at Work with Alex McCann
About this episode
Alex McCann isn’t a qualified career coach, occupational therapist, or psychologist. But he’ll be the first to tell you that.
He walked away from a six-month internship, would sneak off to watch films when he should've been serving popcorn, and then decided he was done pretending he had it all figured out. Now at just 25 years old, he’s figuring it all out in public. After hundreds of conversations about why people feel lost in their careers, he’s building an AI career coach for the ones tired of faking it.
Alex doesn’t claim to have all the answers though – and that’s precisely the point. We talk about what happens when you stop performing expertise — and start solving problems from the inside.
