Inside Job

130: It's Okay To Be Okay


Listen Later

After so many years of hearing it's okay not to be okay, we're talking about how it can be okay to be okay.

This idea can be challenging because it flies in the face of what we often hear about self-improvement or career growth as constant pursuits.

We also share insight from Matthew McConaughey's Oscar acceptance speech for Dallas Buyers Club and how the dark side of constantly chasing a better version of ourselves is that, if we're not careful, we could miss those seasons of life where we're truly living in flow.

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
