The phrase "Jack of all Trades, Master of None" is used in a derogatory manner.  It implies that if you don't focus on one thing, you will never succeed.  This podcast shows many examples of people who did succeed in a variety of disciplines or sectors.  Sure, there are ties when you need to specialise, but for most people, knowing a bit more about more things in the 21st century is a good thing.  To increase your value to the world, to yourself and to your family, you need to grow your skills and you need to stack them in a specific order. All success leave clues. The Skill Stack shows you what to look for and more importantly, like any great recipe, the correct order of the ingredients and skills is as important.
