Why Most Careers Stall — And Why Hard Work Isn’t the Problem

You’re busy. You’re capable. You’re doing what’s expected of you.
 So why does your career still feel… stuck?

In this opening episode of the Career Labs Podcast, Femi Akinyemi explores a quiet but common mid-career experience: working hard without feeling like you’re moving forward.

This episode isn’t about motivation or hustle. It’s about clarity.

You’ll learn:

  • Why hard work alone no longer guarantees progress
  • Why feeling uncertain at this stage of your career is rational — not a failure
  • How outdated career rules keep capable professionals stuck
  • Why clarity, not confidence, is the real turning point

If you’ve ever felt busy but misaligned, cautious but restless, or successful on paper yet quietly questioning “Is this it?” — this episode will put language to what you’ve been feeling.

This is the first step in moving from stuck to strategic.
