Short interview excerpt in which Speaker B describes feeling 'unemployable' within corporate/9-to-5 settings despite having skills and creativity. B explains that traditional office schedules and authority structures suppress their creativity and that they feel more productive at atypical hours (e.g., early morning). Speaker A responds with lighthearted banter about using 'Unemployable' as a memoir title.
Were you always an entrepreneur? Did you kind of develop that trait as you grew up?
So it's funny, I always say I don't think I was ever an entrepreneur, but I think when I was in, you know, corporate and working in TV and things like that, I always felt so drained. And I would always say I'm so unemployable. Not because I don't have the skills, not because I'm not, you know, great at what I do, not because I'm not creative, just because, I don't know, Like, I don't. I don't thrive in, like, the 9 to 5 environment. Like, for me, I feel super creative at, like, 7 in the morning, but if I'm not in the office until 9 and then I have to be creative from 9 till 12 and then, you know, take the lunch break or, you know, the whole corporate structure just. It wasn't for me. And I always had a hard time with. Yeah, just like, doing like. Like, I guess. I guess authority a little bit. But, yeah, I just. I didn't feel that it was set up for me to be successful and for my creativity to thrive and to shine.
Unemployable. Sounds like the great title for my memoir. So thank you for that trademark. I'm using that. You're here first. Okay.
Glad I could contribute to that.
Already helping me with more pants. That's pretty good.
Amazing.
