Why “Follow Your Passion” Is Bad Advice — with Bill Burnett and Dave Evans
from The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · host Vox Media Podcast Network
Stanford professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans argue that finding your one true purpose is the wrong goal. Recorded live at Odoo Experience in San Francisco, they join Scott Galloway to discuss why “follow your passion” is often bad advice, whether your job needs to provide both money and meaning, and how small experiments can help you move forward when you feel stuck. Scott also opens up about sending his son to college—and what happens when the role that gave your life purpose begins to change. Their latest book, How to Live a Meaningful Life, is out now.
