Is Moderate Success the New Ambition? - with Matthias Mahr
What if chasing massive success is actually getting in the way of what you really want?
In this episode, I sit down with Matthias Mahr, a longtime consultant and author of How to Be Moderately Successful, to talk about what it means to build a career that’s genuinely fulfilling.
But this isn’t just theory, Matthias shares real, practical advice for navigating the workplace.
We get into:
• How to stand out in interviews
• The underrated way to get promoted (without burning out) • How to find mentors
• Why aiming for “moderate success” might be the most powerful shift you can make
This episode is honest, a little unconventional, and packed with insight for anyone trying to grow in their career without losing themselves in the process.
