Listen "“Follow your Passion”… or Maybe Don’t?"
Episode Synopsis
Ever found yourself wondering: What should I do with my life? Am I actually bringing value at work? Should I chase something that aligns with my passions? And as we’ve all heard the saying, “Follow your passion and you’ll never work a day in your life,” but is that really the best advice? In this episode, I’m chatting with Graeme about why chasing passion might not be the most reliable career strategy. Instead, he shares the idea of leaning into purpose and focusing on creating value, knowing that passion often follows rather than leads. We talk about how purpose can be your North Star, offering direction while still leaving space to explore. And we’re starting to hear some familiar themes on the podcast(!!!) as Graeme shared a piece of wisdom that Jeff and Jags have also mentioned: be open to trying new things and walking through open doors, because you never know where they might lead. And as Scott also mentioned, failure doesn’t have to be something we dread. In fact, managing failure and learning to fail fast can actually move us forward once we let go of the fear. If you’re feeling generous, leave us a little love with a rating or review on whatever platform you’re listening on!Catch us on:Insta: @letscirclebackwithbecs.pod 🤍TikTok: @letscirclebackwithbecs 🤍
