Cal Newport - So Good They Can't Ignore You

In this episode we dive into Cal Newport’s book So Good They Can’t Ignore You discussing his long-held belief that "follow your passion" is not good advice.

After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.
