This drop dismantles one of the most dangerous pieces of bad business advice still floating around in motivational circles: “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
We unpack why that’s not wisdom—it’s erasure. And we reframe what it really means to love your work and still feel the weight of it sometimes.
There’s nuance here. Space for devotion and exhaustion. For grace and grit. For ease that coexists with effort, not replaces it.
Tune in to remember: the presence of joy doesn’t cancel the labor. It just makes it holy.
