SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

“Follow your passion” is a common phrase people say when it comes to pursuing a new role. That’s all well and good, but how does that translate when you feel that your passion has nothing to do with technology?

Alli Goldberg, today’s featured Empjoyee makes it clear that there really can be an intersection between what you love and technology. And if you’re having a hard time finding it out there already, then you can create the future you want for yourself.

Alli and her friend Jen Jamula co-founded Blogologues.org, a comedy organization focused on the intersection of theater and technology.

Enjoy!

Listen now to learn how Alli:

  • Continues to explore the juxtaposition of arts and tech through new mediums
  • Acts on ideas and “books the theater” to transform that idea into reality in a matter of weeks
  • Iterates on models to scale a business centered on bringing people together to experience tech

TL;DL (Too long; Didn’t Listen): 3 Actionable Takeaways

  • “Book the Theater” to make a tangible external commitment with a deadline accelerate your progress towards a goal and minimize the impact of fear and doubt
  • Explore the intersection of your interests and tech – just because it’s not done widely doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist (or shouldn’t get started)
  • Plan for scale in both your business and your career so you can continue to grow and create opportunities that will sustain your presence in the field and your company.

But wait there’s more! Share your #1 takeaway with today’s featured Empjoyee and other Empjoyees in the Empjoyment community!

From Insight to Action

“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.” – John F. Kennedy

Alli encourages us to “book the theater”, which generally means to commit to the #1 action that imposes a deadline make progress in a tangible external way (i.e. thinking “I’ll do X by Y.” is not enough).

When Jen and Alli had the idea to act out the internet, physically booking the theater locked them into the decision and got them to take a fun idea into a hilarious reality.

Now it’s your turn.

Your Joyney: Share with us one idea, project, or outcome that you’ve been wanting to accomplish and what you plan to do this month to “book the theater” within the Empjoyment Community.
