Episode 98: Your 15 minutes of fame is an illusion. It tricks you into believing that being a celebrity has real value. It doesn't. The world wants your contribution not your vanity.

from Don't Be A Wage Slave · host Leon La Couvée

In this episode, I reflect on my unexpected 15 minutes of fame—first as a wannabe rock star with wild hair, and more recently as a senior citizen representative meeting the mayor on TV. But fame, I’ve learned, is fleeting. Drawing from Stoic and Christian teachings, I explore the idea that true purpose lies not in being celebrated, but in helping others, practicing humility, and thinking critically.
