There’s a common misconception that world-class careers are the result of slow and steady progress – a gradual climb of many small successes accruing over time. In fact, remarkable careers often benefit from “breakout opportunities,” singular moments that radically transform your professional trajectory. But how do you recognize them, and how do you increase the chances of creating game-changing opportunities for yourself? On this episode of the Startup of You Podcast, Reid and Ben explain the concept of “growth loops,” reveal features of breakout opportunities (hint: risk is usually involved), and share lessons from when George Clooney landed his breakout role on the show ER. They also answer a question from a listener.
