We chase gold stars, we check all the boxes, we LEAN IN--and we still feel incomplete.

When we don't define success in our own terms, finding our purpose and carving our own path becomes impossible. How do you break the cycle so that you can be better at work and life? Well, let me just tell you that talking with Laura Gassner Otting changed my life and I hope after listening to her interview it changes yours for the better too!
