From Paychecks to Purpose - Career, Identity, & Purpose | MHFI 338

Doug chats with Blue (From Paychecks to Purpose podcast) about the intersections of money, career, personal identity, and living a good life.  They discuss early money memories & childhood influences, transitioning out of corporate roles, entrepreneurship, avoiding the trap of tying self-worth to a job title, embracing leisure & anti-productivity, and the concept of “Deep Pursuits” to find purpose outside of work.
