The Long and The Short Of It

209. Act As If


Listen Later

After a surprising realization that they hadn't recorded an episode on this topic before, Jen and Pete dive in to what it means to act as if, and how a person might accept the new normal of what stage of career or life they are in.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • How might we put ourselves on the hook in our pursuit of opportunity?
  • Why is imposter syndrome sometimes a good thing?
  • If you meet every criteria of a job listing, are you actually overqualified?
  • What would your day look like if you achieve the success you are aiming for?
