90: Dump the Cliches and Embrace Your Values

In this episode we get deep into the topic of values. It's a subject we've referenced in a dozen or more previous shows, but it's never received a devoted conversation. So we get back to basics and talk about this important and fundamental characteristic of the inside job. There are a lot of websites, journals, and outlets that have been talking about values over the last few years but few treat them as more than buzzwords, and even fewer get deeper than providing assessments to identify them. We're not afraid of the deep work, so we use our conversation to investigate values intensely. We talk about the evolving nature of our values, what it means to live a life – and manage a career – that is in line with our values, how to notice when our values conflict with our work, and what to do when we are asked to work closely with someone who has a very different set of values. And we talk about the Barefoot Contessa, how weird it is to hear our own voices, and why Eric should not do impressions.   You can continue the conversation with us through our new, free, online Inside Job Podcast Community, which you can find here: https://insidejobthecommunity.mn.co/feed   Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.   To learn more about us and our work and to join our mailing list, visit www.insidejobthepodcast.com or email us at [email protected].   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, check out our show notes.   Let's connect!
