I have been so delighted by Substack as a reader and writer that I moved all of my activities here:
#PivotList by Jenny Blake (you’re here!) that goes with the award-winning book Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One and the 🎧 Pivot podcast
💌 Time Well Spent that goes with Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business and the 🎧 Free Time podcast.
- : Divine disaster diaries from a breadwinning business owner living in New York City.
Stay up-to-date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything—every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. I also highly recommend the Substack app — it gives a reading time estimate, shows what percent complete you are, is away from the chaos of your email inboxes, and allows you to interact with and bookmark posts.
About the Author: Jenny Blake
Jenny Blake is a podcaster and the author of three award-winning books, including Life After College (2011), Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One (2016) and Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business (2022).
She has two podcasts with over two million downloads combined: in 2015 she launched Pivot with Jenny Blake for navigating change (in the top 1% of podcasts), and in 2021 she added the Webby-nominated Free Time with Jenny Blake to set your time free through smarter systems (top 2.5%).
While at Google, her corporate alma mater, Jenny co-created a global drop-in coaching program called Career Guru that is still thriving today. Prior to that, she worked as the first employee at a political polling startup in Palo Alto later acquired by YouGov America. During her time at UCLA, she majored in political science and communications, interned at Rock the Vote, and graduated magna cum laude with Phi Beta Kappa honors.
Jenny is a lifelong bookworm and aims to work ~10-20 hours each week, leaving plenty of time to take her angel-in-fur-coat German shepherd Ryder to the park to play with sticks on their favorite grass-covered hill every afternoon. She lives in New York City with her husband Michael, a contemporary fine artist from Beirut, Lebanon.
