The One About the Pro Leisure Circuit (Again)

from The Important Thing

In our 99th episode, Rands is back on the Pro Leisure Circuit — infinite time, a suspicious amount of Arc Raiders, and no wind in the sails — and we wrestle with what actually motivates a person when the engine of work goes quiet. The usual suspects: Arc Raiders, absorbing ten-hour days like it's a job Rands Leadership Slack — 35,000 leaders, 7,000 a week Daring Fireball, John Gruber's one-person media entity Ray Kroc, who started McDonald's in his fifties CalArts, where Lyle's daughter learned she didn't want to animate for a living UC Santa Cruz, Lyle's decade in the state of California Related Important Things episodes: EP 25: The One About the Pro Leisure Circuit EP 96: The One About ARC Raiders
