How important is it that you enjoy your profession? And how can the decision to follow work that fulfills you drive impact across the other areas of your life?

Do you cling to the relationships and experiences of your past, even when moving on is perhaps the healthier approach?

On this episode of Double Shot, Joe and Reid explore the idea of how our attitude around change forms our life experiences and drives our futures.

As a follow-on to last week's episode, Joe and Reid explore the idea of "toward" and "away" mindsets. Are your motivations driven by something negative in your past, or something positive in your future?
