Brilliant careers, exhausted people: the paradox of the new economy

We live in an era of endless opportunities: freelancing, international projects, creative industries, and the possibility of working from anywhere.
And yet, we’ve never seen so many people exhausted, isolated, and lost in their careers.

Freelancers complain about loneliness.
Executives feel trapped in toxic cultures.
Creatives struggle with instability.

Here lies the contradiction: the more options we have, the harder it becomes to choose well and move forward with clarity.
And most are still playing an old game: competing alone, instead of co-creating in community.

The issue is not a lack of talent. It’s the lack of structured, human, and collective support.
And that’s exactly why PeerClub was created.
