Mastering Career Chaos with Christopher Bishop


Listen Later

Christopher Bishop, a self-described "nonlinear multimodal careerist" who's navigated eight careers, joins Paul Estes to discuss his new book Improvising Careers: Succeed in Jobs That Don't Exist Yet (pre-order here). From touring rock musician opening for the Eagles to IBM executive to quantum technology expert, Christopher shares how to thrive in a world where the average person will have 8-10 jobs by age 38.

In this compelling conversation, Christopher reveals his "Future Career Toolkit" featuring practical tools for identifying your strengths and finding opportunities in emerging fields. Paul and Christopher explore how to leverage transferable skills, the importance of embracing technological chaos, and why you should apply for jobs even when you only have 60% of the listed requirements.

You'll Learn:

  • Why you should "chase the maelstrom" and seek out areas where business models are being transformed by new technologies
  • How Christopher transitioned from a professional musician to an IBM executive by recognizing transferable skills
  • The "Future Career Toolkit" 
  • Why you should apply for jobs even if you don't have all the requirements, especially in bleeding-edge tech
  • How to develop a workplace "persona" that helps you succeed in new environments
  • Why the upcoming AI agent revolution represents opportunities rather than threats
  • Practical strategies for connecting with industry leaders to find career opportunities
