How to Rethink Career and Find Fulfilling Work - Fabian Pfortmüller

In Chapter 6 of 19 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, community builder and entrepreneur Fabian Pfortmüller shares why he challenges traditional career planning thinking. He feels careers are built upon societal norms and ways of thinking. He offers instead non-linear options built on modular experiences and a stronger embrace of uncertainty and the unknown. Pfortmüller finds this approach more fulfilling and in line with his passions and interests. Pfortmüller is co-founder of Sandbox Network (www.sandbox-network.com). He also co-founded an innovation think tank, Incubaker (www.incubaker.com), and is part of the group's first spin-off, Holstee (www.holstee.com), an apparel brand for people who would like to wear their passion. Pfortmüller graduated from Columbia University and its School of General Studies.
