Over the last few months I've had a series of conversations with friends/colleagues (some with kids, some without), that have gone:

• I'm looking for a new job but I want it to be at a much smaller firm with a lot less stress/no working on the weekends, where I can really leave at 5 pm and go home to my kids
• I just want a job where I come in, do good work, don't deal with a ton of drama, leave, and then it's done. It's just done. Until I go back the next day.
• I'm intentionally not seeking a promotion because my current role is solid, provides so much flexibility, and allows me time to take voice lessons and write my new Substack...

And so on. I could rattle off a dozen more examples. I, too, have found myself in this camp — wanting to simplify and strip back what I'm doing, not be so hung up on making things bigger and better, and just live. Maybe I'll change my tune in a few years? But I have a feeling....not so much.

If this topic is percolating for you, too, today's podcast will be great company.
