Episode notes

Chris Brown: There's this stigma against having a day job, and i'm putting that in quotes. People think like it doesn't mean as much if you're making your money somewhere else. Brown: Having the creative freedom that is afforded by not having to panic about where your rent money is coming from is actually so profound in the long game. He says he tries to work to de mystify the process of becoming famous with his book "The Long Game"

Hustle culture, burnout, “toxic productivity.” Does today’s fast-paced world ever leave you feeling rushed? Dorie Clark teaches executive education at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and at Columbia Business School. In today’s episode, she talks about the importance of “playing the long-game”-- the idea that when it comes to planning for your enduring future success, it might be better to prioritize long-term payoff above overnight “wins.” Dorie discusses how pressure in our culture pushes us toward doing what’s quick and easy in the moment and helps us value the slow burn of persistence and effort. A frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, she consults and speaks for clients including Google, Microsoft, and the World Bank. You can find more about Dorie at dorieclark.com
