Creating Your Path, Pursuing Dual Careers, Meeting Oprah, and Making Belief with Calvin Nowell

So many of us have multiple passions that compete for time, attention, and resources — especially when it comes to our careers and work. So often we feel the need to choose one thing and leave behind all the rest in order to excel and succeed. But what if you don't actually have to choose? What if you can be successful at more than one pursuit at that same time? This is a question I often ask myself. If you've listened to the show for some time, you'll know that's true about me. Culture tends to push us toward the myth that we can only do one thing to be successful.
