Turning BS Jobs into Purpose-Driven Work | Daniel Steere

In this candid and energetic conversation, Daniel Steere ( @steeringventures ) unpacks what it really takes to “make work not suck.” From reframing “BS jobs” to uncovering dignity in every role, Daniel shares his Vision–Journey–Culture–Results framework and challenges leaders to think beyond quick wins. We dig into why purpose matters more than process, the hidden dangers of “hero culture,” and how the right mindset can transform even the most mundane tasks into meaningful work. Along the way, we tackle the leader–manager divide, the importance of superpowers over well-roundedness, and why “cool” is never a business plan. Whether you’re a CEO, a new manager, or someone wondering how to find meaning in your 9-to-5, this episode will give you the perspective (and push) you need to make your work matter.Learn more about Daniel at:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/daniel.r.steereInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dsteere3/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielsteere/Website: www.steeringventures.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@steeringventuresPodcast: https://www.youtube.com/@makeworknotsuck  @makeworknotsuck Mentioned This Episode:Make Your Brand Legendary – book by Scott Wozniak: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Brand-Legendary/dp/1647469986 Scott Wozniak’s episode of the Badass Leaders Podcast – https://youtu.be/YJ05Ewazics?si=YTguwzCqw-ATTCFo Working Genius Assessment – team productivity tool by Patrick Lencioni https://www.workinggenius.com/ Boundaries – book by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-When-Take-Control-Your/dp/0310247454 DISC Personality Assessment – behavioral assessment tool  https://www.discprofile.com/what-is-disc 628 Dirt Rooster – https://www.youtube.com/@628DirtRooster Produced by: The AGN Group, Host: Angela Gill Nelms, Producer: Katie HartTagline: Be Brave.
