episode 12. "Get A Good Job. Save Money. Retire." Sounds Safe. Feels Like A Prison cover

Beskrivelse

We've all heard it. "Go to school, get a safe, stable job with good benefits, save your money and one day retire." The golden ticket path we were told to follow by our parents, teachers, political leaders, and others. While this message is well-intentioned, it comes from an outdated and limited school of thought. Unfortunately, these limitations are placed on us as kids, long before we enter the awareness of reality. Thus, we end up repeating the cycle. Working jobs we hate, to pay bills we can barely afford, raising our families to survive instead of thrive. In today's episode, I break down the hidden cost of not pursuing a passionate, impactful life and why you should absolutely avoid following the path of others.
