Plus: the only two things you really take with you when you leave a job, why following a great boss beats chasing a hot company, and why she thinks "I've missed the boat" on AI is a lie.

Molly Graham is the host of TED's WorkLife podcast, co-founder of the leadership communities Glue Club and the Guild, and writer of Lessons on Substack.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What a flock of starlings can teach you about your career
  • Why not having a long-term plan might be your secret advantage
  • How to navigate your career when you don't have a map
  • Why joy at work might not be a luxury after all
  • The simple calendar exercise that reveals what's quietly draining you
  • Why being great at something doesn't mean you should keep doing it
  • The career currency most of us chronically undervalue
  • Why you should follow people instead of rocket ships
  • How to spot a "LinkedIn crush" before it steers your next move
  • The kind of fear that's actually a green light
  • Why your calendar is a war zone of unfortunate yeses
  • Molly's antidote to the doom narrative around AI at work
  • Why it's not too late to get comfortable with AI
