Episode Synopsis

Are you interested in finding your passion? Well, the problem is popular advice to "find your passion" doesn't work; it's fundamentally flawed and can be very frustrating. Research shows that over 80% of adults don't know what their passion is, yet we're told we should. The truth is passion isn't something you find - it's something you develop through experiment and experience. You can't have passion for something you've never done. In this episode, Rob shares from personal experience how to grow towards something you end up feeling passionate about and explains that:you start with what interests youits based more on valuesit takes time - often months or yearsyou find passion building after a while of trying things outyou can change over time anywayit's not your head you should listen to.Any thoughts or questions?
