It's always about money OR is it that it's never about money? My guest today is Joe Stephan. He is a financial advisor with a podcast by the name, it's Never about Money, which I love.

Daniel Hatke is an entrepreneur, deep thinker, and friend. I loved this conversation with him because I got to ask him all the questions that I don't usually have an excuse to ask him. He has a very unique perspective on entrepreneurship because he's seen it from multiple sides. He's lived multiple lives, I guess you could say, even though he's still relatively young. He has played the finance CTO Wall Street game as well as the mostly self funded entrepreneur game. We got to, with that in...

There are two areas of life where we experience fulfillment and meaning. One is in our work and careers. If you listen to the Meaning Movement, if you listen to the show, I know you have wrestled with some of those ideas. But then there's the rest of life outside of your work and your career.   Most of us realize that it's a both/and situation: there's meaning and purpose to be found in our day-to-day work life and there's fulfillment to be found outside of that.  In my conversation with...

I am so thrilled to bring you this conversation today with Ryan Barton. Ryan as an acquaintance for some time.

He thinks deeply about work. We just could just plum the depths of work philosophy together. And this conversation is just such a blast. We talk about really center in on this idea of the...

And the work that he does is just in such good alignment, just amazing alignment with my work. We get to dig...

We hear all the time how important it is to have a clear “why” in your life and business. 🧐 But have you ever thought about WHY you need a why? Yes, I know the answer: ✔️ So you’ll be able to recall it when things are hard ✔️ So you can make sure all the decisions you’re making are taking you to in the right direction. ✔️ Etc. Those are all fine. And I drank that kool-aid for a long time on all of that. But here’s the problem: IF what you’re doing is so personally challenging and...
