92,000 Hours

Welcome to Season 3 of the 92,000 Hours Podcast! To kick off the season, we speak to Lee Payne about priorities. 

What are priorities really? And how do our values inform them? We discuss priorities in our home, work, and society. Lee answers questions like: How do we put our priorities into practice? Who can we trust to hold us accountable when we don't practice them? And how do we gracefully say no to things that don't align with our priorities? 

Lee Payne is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Enlinx, a husband, dad, and committed community member.

Welcome to another special episode of 92,000 Hours! We are joined by several of our past interviewees from both Season 1 & 2. While we thought this would be a discussion about lessons learned, it turned into a real master class on self awareness.

In this conversation, past 92,000 Hours guests discuss what they learned from being on a podcast, if they would change anything they said, what they took away from each other's episodes, and if they shared their podcast episode with family or colleagues and how that went. 

Guests include: Collin Bunker, Jim Carter, Liz Tinkham, Mike Bills, Shamby Polychronis, and Wendy Anderton.

This week we speak to Brody Leven about authenticity. 

Brody has created a career out of his passions: skiing, hiking, fitness, and storytelling.

He moved to Utah for college, where he studied economics. After graduation, he found a way to turn his passion for the mountains into a career.
