Description

For squirrel brains and shiny object lovers, the most freeing moment of your life will be the moment you discover conventional wisdom isn't meant for you. It's meant for linear thinkers and specialists who are motivated by a different definition of success. 

We, on the other hand, know that doing what we love is not a privilege, it's an obligation. That's why in this multi-passionate corner of the internet, we’re designing lives and businesses on OUR terms, disrupting how it’s always been done and flipping the bird to all of the awful-sounding things we "should" do. 

Each week, join writer and rabble-rouser Jennie O'Connor in discovering why it's way more fun to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

thank you. this podcast showed up on my suggestions and I smashed the subscribe button before listening to one episode and have no regrets. I've been told I need to focus or I'll never achieve and get anywhere with anything. but... I want to draw and write and sew and permaculture and teach people about cool things by telling them what I know and feeling out over all of it. This podcast will hopefully help me really come into my own to be able to finally do ALL THE THINGS!
