One of the strongest narratives in American culture about work is that you should love your work. On the fourth episode of the Work It podcast, we're introducing you to a software engineer and a day trader who have an intense passion for their work... which may even border on obsession.

Everyone has a "Work It" story (whether it involves pain or not). Who should we interview next? Submit your guest idea on WFAE.org/WorkIt or leave us a comment on Facebook.com/WorkItPodcast.
