College Sucks Summer Book Club Series Ep 5- So Good They Can't Ignore You!

from College Sucks

In this episode of the College Sucks Podcast Summer Book Club Series, we’re breaking down So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport—a book that challenges one of the biggest myths students hear: “Follow your passion.”Instead, Newport argues that passion is something you build, not something you start with. I talk through what that means for college students trying to figure out majors, internships, and post-grad plans.We cover:Why most people don’t have a passion—and that’s okayHow to build career capital that leads to better opportunitiesWhy being “good at something” is more powerful than waiting to feel inspiredThe danger of chasing freedom before you’ve earned itHow to focus on growth, not perfection, while you're still figuring things outIf you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed about your future, this episode will help you think differently—and take action that actually works.Check out our social media pages: Instagram and TikTok @collegesucksja
