It's Time For T

Season 5 Episode 27

Instead of asking, “What’s your specialty?” ask: “How’s your T?” 

In this episode, Paul and Matt break down the T-shaped career model—depth in one or more areas, breadth across many—and why it's the key to thriving in an AI-shaped world. 

Five Key Learnings: 

  • Specialization isn’t dead—but it’s not enough on its own. 
  • T-shaped thinking means pairing mastery with adaptability. 
  • AI makes breadth even more critical—it connects your deep skills to changing needs. 
  • You can build multiple “depths” over time—Ts can evolve. 
  • Self-auditing your T reveals blind spots you didn’t know you had.
