Anna Mackenzie

Anna recounts insights from surveying 210 people and interviewing 30 about their experiences pursuing portfolio careers. She explores common existential struggles like losing status, doubting financial viability, packaging skills, generating leads beyond one's network, and loneliness. Surprising findings include feeling alone despite shared challenges, differing risk appetites across countries, a love/hate relationship with personal branding, the need to rebrand portfolio careers positively, and a desire for visible role models. Anna aims to support this evolving work model through continued conversation and community building.
