Career Skills with Fexingo: Hard Skills, Soft Skills, and Future-Proofing Your Career · Sep 3, 2026 · 7m · transcript

Lucas and Luna discuss why mastering a narrow niche often yields higher long-term value than being a generalist, and how to identify when versatility becomes a liability rather than an asset.
