Ever been told "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life"?

Is this really true? I’ve recently been thinking a lot about this idea that skill is more important than passion when it comes to making decisions about your career. Can it be that simple?

This episode will take the form of a dialog with Cal Newport, author of the blog Study Hacks and three books on career and work habits. This episode in particular focuses on So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion In The Quest For Work You Love.

I try to clear away some of the clouds that have arisen for me both before reading his books and still after having read them, and offer some of the strategies I've adapted from his ideas.

Head to the False Summits website to learn more.
