Money, meaning, and expression are three levers for harmonizing work and life. 2. Take control of your work environment: influence with and without authority. 3. Build a portfolio career by diversifying your interests and experiences over time. 4. We must take agency in how we approach work and lifestyle. 5. Balance internal and external drivers to maximize your growth in the world. 6. Decipher your "work" and "life" views; strive to harmonize them as much as possible. 7. Approach work like a playground, not a ladder. 8. "Dream careers are not landed, they're created." 9. A single-lane road creates no life options. 10. Most (timely) skills employers are for will be half as impactful within 4 years. Get off the skill-building "treadmill" with timeless (power) skills. 11. "Learning how to learn" is life's meta-skill. Spend time finding your method for this.  12. Relationships are the greatest career (and life) accelerator. Go wide, stay curious. *** RESOURCES Connect w/ Kason on LinkedIn Live Uncaged: try the Wednesday Wisdom newsletter Explore transformational coaching w/ Matt Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Check the show on YouTube
