Follow your bliss. Pursue your passion. Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

For those of us who never felt particularly called to anything, all of it can be a letdown. You wonder what's wrong with you.

If you ever felt punished for not having a calling, this one's for you. Rather than brush it off as the realm of cult leaders and artists, I'll position it against competence and reframe calling into something accessible, grounded, and useful.

In this episode, I break down how to find your version of a calling without waiting for divine inspiration or cosmic assignments.

What you'll learn:

• Why competence alone is a bummer of a goal
• The three questions that reveal where your curiosity actually lives
• How to tell the difference between frustration and heartbreak (and why it matters)
• The simple formula for calling: value + interest + skill
• Why your past expertise doesn't trap you into using it forever
• How a Flash developer who likes rocks found his next move

You don't have to meditate on your purpose for 2 years or list every noble cause and choose one. Start with what you already have: your values, interests, and what you're great at.

The call is coming from inside the house.
