#4 So Good They Can't Ignore You - Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love

Hello! Last week, I came across Cal Newport's book called "So Good They Can't Ignore You" which is all about how to find and get to do work that you love. It immediately caught my attention since it's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. I listened to it on 2.5x speed, only slowing down to jot down notes and highlights.  This episode is my summary of the book, where I try to extrapolate how you can apply Cal's research in your life. This book also gave me a lot of inspiration on what to ask and look for with upcoming guest interviews.  I hope you enjoy!
