Embracing the squiggly career path, with Alan Tang
About this episode
Have you ever wanted to try something new - a new job, a totally different career path or just a small project very different from what you do today? And then your next thought is: “No, I couldn’t. That doesn’t fit with who I am, my professional identity, what people expect from me….” And on and on it goes….
This week's guest is here to tell you that actually, “Yes, you can!”
Alan is a champion of the squiggly career, himself having gone from corporate finance to cheffing to becoming a multi-hyphenate advisor to seed and series A startups. He's currently acting as the Chief of Staff at the Portfolio Collective, teaching at Synthesis, writing on Medium (when he finds time) along with the occasional private catering gig.
Can you see why Alan inspires me? I hope you will feel the same after listening to this episode, and you might end up thinking that a squiggly career path sounds quite attractive.
