Special Edition Episode: Most people DO know what they want, they just don't allow themselves to know.

Many people are caught "looking good." They do not appear to be off course to anybody else. They have a great friendship circle and a great job. But they have constructed a false self that looks good to a world that meets them with approval. 

What would happen if you really asked yourself why you applied to that job? What your motivators were for that job? 

When thinking about our dream job, we usually get lost or misguided. "I like my job. It gives me money. I worked hard to get here. I don't need to change." Defensiveness comes up. Because what would happen if it didn't? What would happen if we really looked at our current situation? What feelings would come up? And if you skipped over these, what are you avoiding by not asking yourself these questions?

In Western culture, our occupations define who we are. (ex. "My name is Shayna. Nice to meet you! So, what do you do for work?") Yet, most of us have jobs that don't relate to what we truly want to do.  So, if your job doesn't define who you are, what does?

We’ve been trained to be complacent with stability. To comply with settling. Mathieu envisioned a job in luxury, realized it wasn't a position. So, he created it. He created a luxury startup not with his knowledge, but with his passion. From this episode, we learn how to shift careers right out of college. 

Stop finding ways to fit in the world. Find ways for the world to fit in to you.

"The ultimate success is doing the one thing that sparks your happiness every day," John Boitnott. He isn't talking about external identifiers like glamorized cars or flashy purses, but the act of loving what you do. 

He is a ghostwriter for executives and entrepreneurs and also a contributor to Fortune Magazine, NBC, Fast Company, Entrepreneur.com, Motley Fool, USA Today, and Vanderbeat. He has a vast profile and brings his wisdom of carving a path in the media industry despite financial uncertainty.

In life, we are taught to chase happiness. We chase it through our next promotion or job opportunity- always fleeting. Let's come from a place of intrinsic happiness, realizing we are on the path to greatness. Realizing that all we have to do is get back up again after being knocked down. Again and Again. 

Question of the day: What does success mean to you?

Eric Martel is a Senior Manger of Software Engineering at Riot Games (best known for League of Legends and Valorant). He specializes in video game artificial intelligence and has the gift of being open and vulnerable as he shares about his journey into video game development and the role his mom played on his career choice. 

A lot of us choose careers to make our parent's proud. And most of us aren't even aware of this, or don't want to be aware. A lot of us chase titles and money for the sake of "looking good." We will never feel accomplished if this is our external driving force. We put ourselves in a circle where we are always searching for the next thing. Always trying to fill a gap in our life. Let's stop this. And let's focus on the true driving force of careers: making a difference in the world. Intrinsic values. Ask yourself how you want to contribute to society. How you want to  make an impact. Let's Go!

Why do we argue to prove our points? Really, why? Are we trying to showcase our intelligence or are we deeply rooted to being right? In a world where we all want to be listened to. In a world where we all want to be heard, everybody speaks. Few listen with the intent to understand. Let's change this. Next time you go into an argument or conversation, think of where the other person is coming from. What are they really trying to say?

What is your first step to getting to where you want to be? Well, join me on my first coaching interview call and what I learned! In an interview, it should always be two ways. Both sides should communicate to see if there could be a partnership. How can both parties benefit?

You already know how to eat healthy. You already know how much sleep to get on a daily basis. Yet, you don't eat a balanced diet and sleep at least 8 hours a night. Why not? Why do we not take action when we know how to? Let's stop asking how when we already know the answer. Let's start doing!
