Thank you so much, Lisa.
This was so fun.
A lot of work advice sounds good in theory, but falls apart when you actually try to use it.
I'm on a mission to change that.
I'm Molly Graham, a company builder and the new host of Work Life, a podcast from TED.
I've spent my career inside fast-growing companies, and one thing I know for sure is that work is messy.
In this new season, I'm excited to share my conversations with founders, operators, and creatives about the real story behind their shiniest successes, the lessons that no one ever posts on LinkedIn.
Listen now on Work Life wherever you get your podcasts.
There's a lot of pressure around what it takes to build a great career.
And it all comes back to this idea that you're supposed to know what you want to do.
It's an idea that I like to call the stairs.
Here's how the stairs go.
You show up in college, and you're supposed to know what you want to major in.
That major is supposed to lead you to your first job.
And then you get another job, and you get promoted and promoted and promoted forever.
The best part about the stairs is safety and security.
It feels like you know what you need to do to get ahead.
The worst part of the stairs is that it's like a weird video game that you can get stuck inside of for years.
The stairs will make you feel like your self-worth is tied to your title.
or your last performance rating, or your next promotion.
