Not Just One Thing offers a new take on career development by celebrating the multi-hyphenate — the next generation game-changers who resist a singular title or relying on one career to define their life, and are forging a path defined by multiple passions, platforms and pursuits. With each of the eight episodes in season one, Chikumbu guides listeners through a new chapter in a modern career playbook, spotlighting the people who are thriving by doing things differently, says Chikumbu. 

From corporate innovators and creators to CEOs and communication experts, the podcast's guests share real-life stories, practical strategies and mindset shifts necessary for designing a life that's as expansive as you are, adds the podcast. 

"This isn't just a series of conversations — it's a comprehensive textbook for building a multi-dimensional career, with each episode serving as a crucial chapter in that journey," Chikumbu adds.

According to the podcast, season one, titled 'Chapter 1: The Foundations,' features guests:

  • Simon Chikumbu, Chikumbu's father (former CEO and current Non-Executive Chairman of AON), discussing generational mindsets around work
  • Chris Sawtelle, talent agent turned CEO, on building a mission-driven career
  • Taylor Lorenz, journalist and author of Extremely Online, on cultivating online authority, and 
  • Morgan DeBaun, CEO of Blavity and media entrepreneur, on rewriting your rules for success. 

Each week, listeners will gain actionable insights to help them move from feeling stuck to crafting careers aligned with identity, creativity and financial freedom, says Chikumbu. 

Chikumbu says his journey proves that your career doesn't have to be linear. It just has to be yours.

Chikumbu concludes that Not Just One Thing is available on all major podcast platforms.
