In this chapter we will discuss the tendency of people to put each other in a narrow box professionally which is easy for them to understand (e.g- an analyst, a coder etc.), while these days most people feel what they do is much more than a narrow definition. We will talk about the places where this box can serve us and the other places where it can limit us and prevent us from doing the things that we really want to do, just because we feel the need to stay consistent with the box other people gave us. Our guest, Avner Stepack, is leading one of the largest investment houses in Israel, and dedicates a meaningful part of his time to lead in additional fields; fashion tech, NGO's supporting people with disabilities and more. Although these fields don't fit into a normal box and sometimes even appear to create conflict of interests, Avner's first priority is to maximize his impact on the Israeli society and to fulfill himself. In a very honest interview, Avner shares with us the challenges and excitement a diversified career has for an individual.
