Welcome to Season 4 of Build the Damn Thing 🚀
Building the life and business you want isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.
Hey Builders,
We’re back. Season 4 of our award-winning podcast, Build the Damn Thing is officially live—and this season? We’re doing things differently.
Less grind. More alignment.
Less hustle. More intention.
Because building the life and business you want isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.
🎧 In today’s season-opening episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Christina Wallace—Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School and author of The Portfolio Life—to talk about how to future-proof your career and your identity in an AI-driven world.
Here’s what we dive into:
Why tying your identity to your job is a setup for burnout
How to stop running races that don’t matter (even if you’re winning them)
What it really means to live a “portfolio life” where success is measured by balance, not titles
The warning signs you need to rebalance your time, your energy, and your definition of success
This episode is for anyone who’s ever hit a career milestone and thought, “Wait… is this it?”
