SXSW 2025

Screw the Plan and Navigate Work & Life the Unplan Way!

Description:

Why do we persist in a cultural expectation of neat, long-term plans, when the reality of our lives is much ‘messier’ than that? Spoiler: It’s time to ditch the plan! Whether navigating our career journeys or building a small business, what can we learn from the notion of Unplanning? And why will unplanning offer you better outcomes–and a more intentional life? Join Ian and Cali at SXSW for this important fireside chat. We’ll share tales from the trenches; interview each other to get below the surface and to the vulnerable/deep insights.
