You’re Not a Flake. You’re Living a Portfolio Life.

She Knows the Way

Jan 31 2024 • 45 mins

Christina Wallace is a self-described human Venn diagram with a career at the intersection of business, technology, and the arts. Through years of trial and error, Christina discovered that her seemingly unrelated talents and interests made her stronger, not unfocused. And she’s here to tell you how to lean into your own “portfolio life.”

An entrepreneur, author, and Harvard Business School senior lecturer, Christina shares her career path and life philosophy known as 'The Portfolio Life' (outlined in her book of the same name). Feeling lost after the shutdown of her first startup, Christina found her way forward by applying a diversification model from financial portfolios to her life. Living a portfolio life, she says, offers an advantage in navigating an uncertain and ever-changing world—and allows you to prioritize personal happiness over conventional definitions of success.
