Ep. 96 Career Pivot - From French teacher to PM in gaming

跨越职场边界:凯文与小花北美视角

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by a very special guest — Landry, who was once my French teacher, but now works in managing game development at a global gaming company. His journey is anything but linear, and that’s exactly what makes it so inspiring. Landry shared how his background in teaching not only opened doors for him to live and work around the world but also laid the foundation for a bold career pivot — first into visual effects, and eventually into gaming. We talked about what it was like to start over in a new industry, the transferable skills he brought with him from the classroom, and how he navigated self-doubt and steep learning curves along the way. Landry's story will offer practical insight and emotional reassurance if you’ve ever considered making a big career change — especially one that feels like a leap into the unknown. Tune in for a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and the unexpected ways our past experiences can shape our future paths. -01:45 guest introduction, From teaching to gaming -03:07 What brought you to Canada? -6:40 Teaching French enabled me to move around the world -10:30 What made you realize you wanted to do something other than teaching? -12:50 How did you bridge the gap from teaching to visual effects? -16:20 Did you feel behind or feel anxious when you had to start from the bottom, entering a new industry? -18:50 How did you get to your current job, into gaming? -22:15 What was the steepest learning curve in the world of gaming? -26:30 How did you bring teaching and Project management mindset into your current work? -29:30 Why live in Vancouver instead of Montreal? -36:00 What was something you believed earlier in your career, but you do not believe in anymore? -40:15 What would you say to your past self when you were still a teacher? -44:00 What would you tell someone who is thinking about making a big career change?

Ep. 95 职场「渣男生存法」:不主动、不拒绝、不负责,是自保智慧还是摆烂哲学?

跨越职场边界:凯文与小花北美视角

在本期节目中,我们聊了一个轻松又带点反讽的主题:如何在职场中活用“渣男原则”求生存。别误会,我们不是鼓励大家当“职场渣男”,而是借用这个概念,来重新理解在高压、复杂的职场环境中,如何更聪明、更有策略地保护自己、推动工作、避免内耗。 我们围绕三大“渣男法则”展开:该主动时主动、不拒绝但不主动、不负责但有边界感。从什么时候该冲在前面、什么时候该学会沉得住气,到如何识别老板“画饼”陷阱、应对每件事都“紧急”的职场环境,我们结合真实场景和自身经历,聊了很多职场中的灰度策略。 希望这一期能帮你在“卷”与“躺”之间,找到一条既不内耗又不失去掌控感的职场生存之道。毕竟,做好划桨的人就已经很不错了,至于船往哪儿开,有时候真的不是你能决定的。 -1:20 什么是职场渣男原则? -3:08 什么时候该主动? -5:25 什么时候不该主动? -7:50 “主动”应该是“主动让老板的工作更简单” -9:50 大包大揽什么都会到最后很容易burn out -12:00 遇到要升职的时候老板让你先多干多做,这种时候应该怎么办? -16:30 怎么理解职场渣男原则二之不拒绝? -20:20 什么时候应该拒绝?又该怎么拒绝? -24:00 如果在老板看来每件事情都很urgent,应该怎么办? -27:10 怎么解释职场渣男原则之三不负责?怎么不负别人的责? -38:00 做好划桨的人,至于船往哪儿开是你管不了的
