Jason Feifer: "I think that everybody's career has a zigzaginess to it. I call it the zigzag payoff"
This month, Ronen and Noa speak with Jason Feifer, the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, about careers and the power of AI.
In this episode of Real Life Superpowers, Ronen and Noa speak with Jason Feifer, the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, host of two popular podcasts, and the author of "Build for Tomorrow: How to Thrive in Today's Challenging World of Work".
With over a decade of experience in the media industry, Jason has become a thought leader in entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.
He’s interviewed countless successful entrepreneurs and innovators, gaining invaluable insights into the mindsets and strategies that have enabled them to achieve their goals.
Topics discussed:
- The path to mastery, and what it has to do with “gripping the wheel”
- Using what Jason calls “the ZigZag payoff” to break the glass ceiling many of us create by limiting ourselves to a specific skill set. In a nutshell, it’s about tapping into the core interest that drove you to develop the skills that enable you to do what you’re currently doing (and are maybe feeling trapped in)
- The power in asking yourself “What do I have? What do I need? What's available?”
- Evaluating the cost of action vs. the cost of inaction
- Framing new things we do as experiments rather than long-term commitments
- What people afraid to lose their job/venture in an era of generative AI can do
And much more!
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned professional, or simply interested in becoming the best version of yourself - this is an episode you won't want to miss.
