ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

What job do you really want to do?

14:20Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco asks what work people truly want to do, rather than treating a choice made as a teenager as permanent. He contrasts the relatively limited paths of his youth with opportunities created by the internet, digital promotion and automation. His argument includes practical occupations and local services, not only becoming an influencer or founding a startup. He acknowledges immediate needs such as paying bills and inequalities in access to opportunity. Still, he recommends setting aside time for personal reflection and distinguishes initiative from entrepreneurship. In his view, finding suitable work can also benefit society. His initial decision to study law illustrates how an early choice can shape many years of life. The opening includes an invitation to buy tickets for his theater tour.
