Most career advice is designed to keep you comfortable, not successful. We’re told to work hard, be patient, and follow the rules—but the people who actually rise to the top know better.
They understand that leverage, perception, and positioning are what really drive career growth.
In Episode 13 of The Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch breaks down five career truths no one tells you, including why you’re not paid for your time, how being indispensable can actually hold you back, and why the most qualified person doesn’t always win—the most savvy one does.
Packed with real talk, humor, and some painfully true lessons, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about career success.
