What if we stopped focusing solely on building a career and started thinking about building a life?

In this conversation with Rick Yvanovich, we explore personal ownership, purpose, adaptability, AI, continuous learning, and the importance of intentionally creating the future we want. Careers are no longer linear, and success isn't simply about the next promotion. It's about building a portfolio of skills, experiences, relationships, and opportunities that supports the life you actually want.

Build a Career or a Life? Taking Ownership of Your Future in the Age of AI with Rick Yvanovich


What if we’ve been asking the wrong question?


For generations, we’ve been taught to build a career: get the education, find the job, climb the ladder, earn more, achieve more, and keep moving forward.


But what if building a successful career and building a fulfilling life are two very different things?


In this conversation, we take the ideas from our previous discussion about thriving in the New Renaissance and take them one step further. Change is happening faster than ever, technology is reshaping the way we work, and AI is changing what knowledge and skills are worth.


But in the middle of all that change, one thing remains incredibly important: we have a responsibility to take ownership of the life we are building.


We talk about why professional success doesn't automatically equal personal fulfillment, and why we need to think beyond the traditional career ladder.

"You Sound Different Than You Think" Here's something I tell podcasters all the time: you have no idea how you actually sound. Not really. You hear yourself in your head, not the way your listeners hear you — the pacing, the energy, the moments you talk over a guest or lose the thread. The Rehearsal Studio fixes that. My Podcast Module lets you practice out loud, on mic, against an AI that responds like a real guest — then breaks down exactly how you showed up.
