A few months ago, Kevin read Adam Grant's latest book Think Again, and loved it. On Kevin's suggestion, I went searching for Adam on my favorite media, podcasts. I was in luck! I found his podcast by TED called Work Life, and downloaded an old episode from May 2019 called The Perils of Following Your Career Passion. Needless to say, I was very intrigued. I knew from Kevin that Adam has a contrarian perspective, but I had never heard someone say to NOT follow your passion. Of course I had to listen. After 3 years of searching, worrying and dreaming, I have found my own understanding of what it means to have "work life balance" or a "dream job".  Kevin has figured out his magic formula over the past 3 years as well. We both agree with Adam's take on why your dream job should not be solely based on feeling passionate every day. Kevin and I know that our dream jobs are tools to allow for a life where we can follow our curiosity; free from the notion that they have to make us money. Listen along with us and see what you think about Adam's unique perspective.
