Podcast: One Person/Multiple Careers

Too Smart to Quit. Author Marci Alboher Creates A New Model for Work/Life Success

Marci Alboher

No one is impervious to layoffs. Not even a popular blogger on The New York Times. Marci Alboher started the Shifting Careers column in May of 2007, and was recently informed that The Times decided to discontinue her blog. (Read her blog post: Laid Off From My Non-Job. ) This podcast with Marci was recorded in March, 2007, shorty after the release of her book. With the huge amount of underemployment that exists today I think our interview is even more timely and relevant today.

If you find yourself in the position of being underemployed, read her article Slashing by Necessity, and give a listen to her interview with John Hockenberry and Adaora Udoji on The Takeaway.

Daniel H. Pink, (author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation), calls Marci Alboher "the Walt Whitman of the new world of work." A successful corporate lawyer in her previous life, Marci wanted to follow her passion for journalism, and in doing so, created what she calls the "slash effect;" a model for pursuing multiple careers to achieve success. Marci's written a book to help you develop your own slash career: One Person, Multiple Careers: A New Model For Work/Life Success (published by Warner Books).

In our 20 minute interview, Marci reveals tricks for seamlessly acquiring new skills while managing an existing career. Tips for better tackling time management. Innovative ideas for balancing a slash-filled life, and secrets for creating and capitalizing on the synergies that exist between seemingly unrelated careers.

The No A-Hole Rule - A Conversation with Robert Sutton, Part 1

"It's mostly a kiss-up, kick-down world" - Robert Sutton

Robert Sutton

I learned about Robert Sutton's latest book The No A-Hole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't, (published by Warner Books), on Guy Kawasaki's blog. Guy helped Bob build The ARSE meter, which allows you to take a short 24 question test to determine if you are - you guessed it - an asshole. Most of the 11,000+ people who've spent the time to take the test over the past week aren't assholes, because (my theory) most true assholes wouldn't bother to take the test. They're too busy, too important... and... well, assholes.

In his day job, Bob is Professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School - which actually has a "no asshole rule." On Bob's blog, he has the Starbucks Test. If the person in front of you at Starbucks orders a decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n-Low and one NutraSweet, - you're in the presence of an asshole. If you've worked for a large corporation for more than 10 minutes, chances are you've met plenty of them. In this special two-part Success Strategies edition of TPR, Bob and I discuss how to keep jerks out of your workplace, tips for surviving toxic workplaces, famous assholes (Simon, Steve, John B, Bob N, and Carly), and even the virtues of assholes. According to Sutton, "being an asshole is a contagious disease." Please select the read more link below for resource links.
