I turn 30 in just about 3 months.
As I sat down to reflect on what’s changed my career trajectory the most over the past decade, one thing stood out above everything else.
I call it Slipstreaming.
It’s a strategy I first used when I was 21 that helped me go from “broke college student” to working side-by-side with one of my mentors, traveling the world, getting flown into $25K mastermind rooms, and ultimately building the life I live today.
In today’s episode, I’m finally breaking it all down.
And instead of just telling you what it is, I show you — by weaving together audio from:
- A course I created 8 years ago with my mentor Jonathan Levi
- Clips from past Beyond Curious guests like Todd Herman, Jessica Von Innerbrenner, and Lee Holden — who each used a similar method to create transformational opportunities in their lives
Whether you’re a teen, twentysomething or thirtysomething, or you’re further along in your journey and want to empower the next generation — this one is worth a listen.
Here’s a peek at what you’ll learn:
- Why “learning from someone ahead of you” can shortcut years of trial and error (and how I still do this today)
- The psychology behind why the slipstream technique works (hint: IKEA furniture has something to do with it)
- When I realized that even though this strategy changed my life, I needed to let go of it in the way I originally learned to do it
In a world changing so fast that many of tomorrow’s most important jobs don’t even exist yet, I’m excited for the right people to hear this.
If you know someone navigating their career path, I hope you’ll consider sharing this with them — it completely changed my life.
