Jonathan Fields / Acast
About this episode

Discover the power of a multi-passionate career in our latest podcast episode featuring Jason Mendelson, a creative dynamo who's seamlessly integrated a spectrum of pursuits into an inspiring, joy-filled journey.


Key highlights include:


  • Debunking the myth that success equals singular focus, and exploring how a diversified "portfolio of pursuits" can enhance career satisfaction.
  • Jason's incredible journey from passionate musician to tech engineer, law practitioner, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, philanthropist, writer, and back to music again, a testament to the magic of diversified career-building.
  • Insight into his latest book, How to Be a Lawyer: The Path from Law School to Success, a must-read that bridges the gap between academia and real-world legal practice.
  • The remarkable comeback to music after a life-altering injury, illustrating that passion transcends obstacles, and even opens doors to other interests.


Join us as we unpack Jason's 'yes, and' approach to career progression, and learn how intertwining multiple passions can lead to a fulfilling, joyful, and successful career. Tune in, get inspired, and rethink the way you perceive success.
