What’s the point of the work you do every day?

In this episode of 10 Seconds to Air, Alita Guillen sits down with bestselling author Tom Rath to challenge one of the most common ideas about career and fulfillment. Tom argues that passion is overrated, and that real meaning comes from something deeper: purpose.

Drawing from decades of research and his own life experience, Tom explains why focusing only on what you enjoy can actually hold you back, and how shifting your focus outward toward helping others can transform both your work and your well-being. He shares practical ways to rethink your day, align your time with what truly matters, and ask a simple but powerful question more often: what’s the point?

From career decisions and parenting to health, habits, and relationships, this conversation shows how small, intentional changes can lead to a more meaningful life without needing to completely reinvent your path.
