Description





















Today, we're destroying the biggest career lie that's keeping you stuck: You need to find your passion before you can do meaningful work. If you've been endlessly searching for work that feels meaningful while building zero valuable skills. If you keep job-hopping because nothing feels like your "calling"—when you're tired of waiting for passion to strike before you start building something worthwhile, this one's for you. I'll show you why "follow your passion" is backwards thinking that traps high performers in endless searching, and how to flip the script by becoming so skilled at something valuable that passion naturally follows your competence, not the other way around.
