Episode 6: Do what you love is bad advice

Back when I used to work a desk job, new year planners used to be a thing. You know the kind. Stiff hard cover. 365 pages, all neat and ruled. And always, always with a motivational quote on top. It was 2010, and I remember what mine said: "do what you love".

In this episode, we're talking of the implications of only doing what you love, and the blind turns it can lead you down. And we first look at an alternative, and then at another.

Towards the end, I refer to the commencement speech by Steve Jobs at Stanford 2005. I recommend you read it :)
