Today’s guest is John Hollway, a Professor at Penn Carey Law School and a Positive Psychology Expert.

When we are in college or early into our 20s, many of us struggle with our identity. We’ve spent our entire lives “LinkedIn chasing,” trying to accumulate the best titles, jobs, and accolades. At some point, we all have a realization that we are living an unfulfilling life because we’ve been chasing another person’s definition of success.
