Florent Schmahl, Chief of Staff of highly purposeful agtech company, Growcer, shares his journey and learnings along the way as he shifted his work from being focused on developing hard skills to now pursuing purposeful work.
Over the years he’s has time to gather his insights on finding the work that drives you and how important it is in today’s labour market pressures.
Despite this, Florent’s advice releases that pressure from the concept of pursuing purpose and instead reframing it as a journey.
He encourages instead to explore of what drives people in their work rather than trying to answer existential questions of a singular life purpose.
In this episode Florent helps translate these questions into a team setting and how to find that drive if your place of work doesn’t feel like it has the most impact in the most pressing of issues.
His main piece of advice is focusing on problems instead of tormenting with questions of passion.
Listen to the episode to hear to the rest of Florent’s insights!
