The Scourge of Bullsh!t Jobs with Adam Winfield
I’ve had lots of jobs, most of which had words like “consultant” and “coordinator” and “specialist” in the title. Was I actually doing anything useful, or was I just taking up space — another paper-pusher, trading my hours for my employer’s dollars without much concern for actual production or productivity? I like to hope at least some of my jobs were legitimate, productive, and adding to the economy somehow. After all, I’ve supported the efforts of hair stylists, retail salespeople, auto mechanics, and hospitality workers. But was I really…producing? It’s very possible I’ve spent my entire adult life in what today’s guest calls b******t jobs. Let’s dig into it.

If you’re getting value out of Blackbird, I’d love your financial support. When you subscribe to Blackbird, you get early access to my entire conversation with the guests from the second I hit record. This is the time I get to know my new guests, catch up with returning guests, and gossip with guests who are my buddies. It’s a great little behind-the-scenes glimpse. Plus you get the interviews as soon as the recording finishes processing, up to a month before everyone else!
