The Career Clinic Podcast

Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart

In Episode 97, Ronnie shifts the tone of the podcast to address something urgent and real: the reality that job security, as many of us once understood it, has fundamentally changed.

This episode is less about tactics and more about a mindset shift. If you've felt like you're one restructure away from disruption, or you've watched talented people around you recalibrate unexpectedly, this conversation is for you.

✔️ Why job security has shifted — even at strong companies
✔️ Why this moment requires a new blueprint
✔️ How generational advice still makes sense — but needs updating
✔️ The danger of building provision in only one place
✔️ What it means to adopt a portfolio career mindset
✔️ Why this year may need to be the year you rethink your relationship with work

Rather than offering a checklist of tips, Ronnie invites listeners into a deeper recalibration.

What if you thought of yourself as "You Inc."?

What if your primary employer was You Inc., and your job was simply one client of many possible revenue sources, identity anchors, or professional expressions?

This is not just about side hustles. It's not a hustle culture pitch. It's about strategic optionality. It's about understanding that your time, skills, relationships, and brand have value beyond one organizational structure.

A portfolio career mindset does not require you to quit your job. It requires you to think differently about permanence, agency, and alignment.

This episode is a call to stop pretending permanence still operates the way it once did.

It is an invitation to rethink your relationship with work before something forces you to.

We deserve better. And when we cannot immediately get better systems, we build better strategies for ourselves.

This may be the year that completely changes your relationship with work — not because something collapses, but because you finally choose to design it differently.
