| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Sarah Ellis and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. In this week's episode, |
| 0:08.7 | you'll hear my conversation with Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the authors of designing your |
| 0:13.6 | work life. I was really looking forward to speaking to Bill and Dave as I've admired their work |
| 0:18.4 | since reading their first book, which was about designing your |
| 0:21.2 | life. And we've got lots in common, I think, with the work that they do. It's very practical, |
| 0:27.6 | action focus, lots of tools and techniques to try out. So I think if you like Squiggly |
| 0:32.5 | careers and Squiggly Career book, I think you'll like the work that they do. And where they're different to |
| 0:38.4 | us is that they take their expertise in design thinking and apply it to how we think about our |
| 0:44.2 | careers. So really they're borrowing from one world to benefit another. And I think that idea |
| 0:49.2 | works brilliantly. Those tools and techniques give us a really interesting way to think about |
| 0:53.9 | the work that we do. |
| 0:55.5 | So I hope you enjoy our conversation together. And remember if you'd like to delve a bit deeper |
| 0:59.7 | into any of the podcast topics, you can join us for PodPlus. Podplus is a 30 minute workshop |

| 1:17.3 | learning and are part of the Squiggly Careers community. You can find all of the details for |
| 1:22.1 | Popplus on our Instagram page where we're just at Amazing If. So that's all for now. |
| 1:26.6 | I hope you enjoy the conversation and I'll be back at the end to talk about next |
| 1:29.9 | week's topic which I predict is going to be a popular one. |
| 1:37.7 | So Bill, Dave, thank you so much for joining us on the Squiggly Careers podcast. |
| 1:42.0 | I'm really delighted to be talking to you both today. |
