Do artists have to starve before they "make it?" Are all creative jobs drying up? Is Gen X having a "career meltdown?" Or is everyone having a career meltdown? Key topics: ✅ The world itself has changed so much since the 90s. How could the job market NOT change in that same span of time? ✅ Are you doing the same thing because you"re stuck in a rut? Do you even enjoy what you"re doing? Or is it like a familiar safety blanket? ✅ Are you living a cliche because you have bought into the stereotypes and limiting beliefs of others? ✅ Do you have a game plan if your corporate job disappears?  ✅ The human resources department is finna ta be the robot department.  ✅ If you are not your source, you are not free. Period.  Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPyLvi2gvxE https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/28/style/gen-x-creative-work.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7k4.8hhO.hoNk3A21vFg0&smid=url-share https://medium.com/minds-without-borders/make-more-money-by-not-caring-f1c93b84c138 **** Decoding the Unicorn is live on Amazon!
