How big of a role does passion play in your career? In your life?

Sometimes, it can move you to do unconventional things. One of them is to step down from a leadership role at your company. That’s what Paul Ashley did.

Paul Ashley, VP & Consultant at NPS and Adjunct Professor at Butler University, joins Joe and Reid in this episode of the 1,000 Stories podcast to share his passions, from teaching to being a sommelier. He talks about his love of learning being the connecting thread in his life, following passions, being a parent, and more. 

Paul’s enthusiasm for his passions teaches you to be more self-aware of where your unique interests and strengths can better serve your company. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Have patience with your passion. When you’re twenty-something and still unsure of what to pursue in life, don’t rush into anything until you’re sure it’s right for you.

2. Lessons on pursuing your passion and setting an example for your children.

3. Your passions make you more interesting, helping you connect with others far more.
