Become the most sought-after generalist on the market
Unboxed is your DIY career coach to help you tell your story, build your network, and create the opportunities you deserve.
Dear generalist,
For years you've been stuck in a box.
You struggled to fit your diverse skills into neat job descriptions, watched specialists climb corporate ladders, and waited for someone to recognize your unique value. Your talents were confined to rigid roles and your potential was limited by narrow career paths.
Now, you've been left to piece together career strategies from scattered advice. It's frustrating. There's no single trusted resource.
But there is another way.
Instead of climbing someone else's ladder, you can build a career flywheel — where each project multiplies your value, attracts opportunities, and compounds your growth. Your diverse skills become your edge, not your obstacle.
You're not alone. Every week, hundreds ask us how to thrive as a generalist. We could've kept drowning in DMs, but instead we did what any smart generalist would do. We hacked together a smarter way.
Meet Unboxed: a proven system for building your career flywheel. We've compressed years of hard-won lessons, proven methods and actionable strategies to help you break out of the box.
Inside, you'll learn how to design a career that stack your skills, showcases your value, and attracts opportunities—creating a self-reinforcing career engine that works for you, not the other way around.
Unboxed guides you through the deep work to build a career on your terms.
