Summary
Most of us have been given the same general blueprint for success since birth. Go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a job, work hard and you'll be successful.
And for a long time, this was an effective path to success. But in recent years, the idea of what it means to be successful has changed. With the advent of technology and the global interconnectedness of the world, success is no longer about following the traditional path.
Want to know a secret? For many careers, no one cares about your pedigree. In this episode, we explore why non-traditional paths are no longer the exception and why it's more important (and easier) than ever to find our own way.
Enjoy!

| 0:03.3 | We work out the plot lines in this film, |
| 0:06.6 | this script that we're writing for the next chapter of our lives. |
| 0:10.7 | Hell, for the rest of our lives. |
| 0:17.2 | You know, a few years ago, for the last couple of decades, in fact, the right path, and I'm using that in quotes, was clear, right? |
| 0:25.3 | If you graduate from college, get a good job at some company where you're working 40 hours a week, you do that for 40 years, and then you get the gold watch. |
| 0:35.4 | And today, that's just not true anymore. There are so many paths that lead |
| 0:40.0 | in unimaginable array of destinations. And here's the interesting thing. These things are |
| 0:45.1 | changing all of the time, these destinations. Like the goalposts now are always moving. What's so |
| 0:51.0 | exciting about now, about this actual moment moment in history is that gatekeepers, or |
| 0:56.0 | largely the gatekeepers that historically have kept you and me out of the places where we wanted |
| 1:02.7 | to be, they no longer hold the keys. Your career is less about the options at the job fair or |
| 1:09.1 | whatever your career counselor told you and way more about exploring |
| 1:12.8 | that call that you hear when you sit there like I do awake at night staring at the ceiling. |
| 1:18.5 | Now, when you hear this call, this call that I'm talking about, it's a call in your soul. |
| 1:24.0 | You start to follow that path. |
| 1:25.8 | You begin to arrive at dream destinations. And it doesn't |
| 1:29.8 | matter. This is also the cool thing. It doesn't matter how you got there. You will show up in |
| 1:35.0 | rooms and not know how you got there. But you know what? It doesn't matter. And nobody in that |
| 1:40.0 | room cares how you got there. What does matter, all that matters, in fact, is that you are there. No one's questioning the pedigree, right? You used to be in these little circles when everyone had their ties on and their hands on their hips, wondering why you're here and how you didn't get in here and what you did to get here.
