In this conversation, I sit down with Adewale Adeife an Information Security manager to unpack a powerful shift in thinking about work, growth, and long-term success. We talk about the difference between a job and a career, and why many people stay stuck because they keep moving too quickly instead of building something that compounds over time. He introduces the idea of treating your career like a stock rather than something you keep trading for short-term gain. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not really growing, or you’re constantly starting over, this conversation is for you.
