ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

How to create your perfect job in 2025

18:16Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco compares ready-made career paths to identical training for athletes with different needs. He recalls table tennis in Fiuggi and his legal studies, initially chosen without a strong vocation. He proposes building work at the intersection of three elements: a personal strength, an activity one enjoys and real demand from people willing to pay. He does not consider passion sufficient and recognizes that the need for income constrains freedom of choice. He gives examples of unusual activities and digital tools that make starting a project easier, while noting that business responsibilities remain. His preference for inventing his own work reflects his particular character. The invitation is to seek a form of success consistent with oneself, without making self-employment compulsory for someone already satisfied.
