We’re building a workforce of 1 million happy, thriving generalists!
We believe that generalism is a superpower
You’ll spend 80,000 hours of your one precious life working. It seems a travesty to do so in work that dilutes your brilliance.
We believe that generalist skillsets are an essential cornerstone in the future of work. We believe work can be a catalyst to solving the world’s most thorny, ambiguous problems.
We believe we’re the team to help millions of people build squiggly, meaningful careers they adore ❤️

The things we care a lot about
Being genuine
From our content to our community, we’re honest, down to earth and non-performative
Community-driven
Our people make the Generalist Movement what it is! Bringing people together through our global community is our raison d’etre
Sincere, without being overly serious
We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but that doesn’t mean we don’t sincerely
Long-term everything
We think, act and make decisions with a decade-long view. We’re building GW to be a sustainable, calm, regenerative movement that helps people for decades to come.
Okay… want to hear our story?
I grew up my whole life thinking that I needed to be an expert at one thing.
I thought I needed to study, practice, work on and hone in one speciality. I was taught that a ‘jack of all trades, but master of none’, was inherently a bad thing. A no-no. Something to be avoided. I may have even still believed this, up until starting GW.
I tried to fit into tidy boxes. To slot into job titles that I ‘should’ be doing. But these titles never quite fit me. And I thought that because of this, I was kinda broken.
There was no other choice… This simply HAD to exist
3 weeks after first having the thought for GW, I quit my full time job and went all in.
Throughout our careers, founders might be lucky enough to 1-2 paradigm-shifting opportunities, and every bone in my body was saying: THIS IS IT.
So without a backup plan. Without loads of savings. I threw ALL my might behind changing how the world sees generalists, and how generalists see themselves.
And a dream became…

Magic happens at our meetups
There’s really nothing quite like bringing together thousands of generalists under one roof. People who have also felt undervalued, overlooked and misunderstood. Suddenly they can stand face to face with someone who gets their brilliance. Magic happens at our meetups.
Made some buddies
… And we had fun doing it!
We’re opening the door for more generalists to shine
We’ve spent 3 years building a deeply trusted, beloved network of generalist friends. Our north star is to keep going, without ever losing the genuine, community-driven approach that got us here.
We’re so grateful to our members, to our network, to our partners, and to everyone who’s been cheering us along!
