Love vs. Money: The Real Purpose of Work on First Day Pod
Because then if you're a good person and you're doing what you love and you say I don't need to make money because I love this and I know that I'm making a difference, and i'm- that's usually why you love something, because you know that it's, there's a purpose to it, and so if you do that and then you make money, then because it's coming from a good place, that money will most likely be spent on good things, whether it's giving your family more experiences or giving your listeners more experience or giving whatever.
Is work about passion or just a paycheck? Leigh Ann and Michael Govier dive into this age-old debate in this episode of First Day Pod. Leigh Ann argues that loving what you do means you never really 'work' a day in your life. Michael counters with the importance of setting goals and making a profit. Their lively discussion explores whether passion is essential for long-term tasks or if it's just a myth that can lead to disappointment.
But that's not all. They also touch on societal pressures that make people hesitant to follow their dreams, and how these stigmas can be a significant barrier. The conversation even delves into productivity hacks like Parkinson's Law, which states that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. For those looking for a community, the First Day Pod Book Club is reading 'White Fragility' and meets every Monday at 8PM EST.
Leigh Ann and Michael encourage listeners to set their own goals and share their ideal life aspirations, making this episode not just a debate but a call to action. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the way you think about work.
