How to Use Skill Bridges to Cross Career Gaps

Ever felt stuck between the skills you have and the job you want? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the concept of 'skill bridges' — deliberately chosen experiences that connect your current capabilities to a target role. They use the concrete example of a marketing manager pivoting into product management: instead of going back for a full MBA, she built a bridge through a six-month rotation on a cross-functional product launch team, learning key tools like SQL, A/B testing, and stakeholder prioritization. Lucas breaks down the three types of skill bridges (project-based, role-based, and learning-based) and shares how to identify the shortest bridge for your next move. Luna pushes back with real talk about bridge length versus bridge strength, and they discuss the one question you need to ask before investing time in any bridge. No fluff — just a practical framework for closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. #SkillBridges #CareerGaps #CareerPivot #MarketingToProduct #SQL #ABTesting #StakeholderPrioritization #CrossFunctionalTeams #ProductManagement #Careers #CareerSkills #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerGrowth #Upskilling #CareerTransitions #ProfessionalDevelopment #LearningStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
