Should Strategists Be Generalists?

from The Overthinkers · host Lynette Wong & Shann Biglione

Shann has a strong take on this one: strategists should never specialize by channel, and why a "TikTok strategist" makes him wince. Lynette pushes the conversation into David Epstein's Range, the split between wicked and kind environments, and why the deep-generalist path is its own kind of hard-won skill. They also get into the real career costs of staying broad, the hedgehog-versus-fox split, and where AI might change the calculus for both camps. Expect strong opinions, some career vulnerability, and a few Grey's Anatomy references.
