The Importance of Uncoupling Passion from Work

In this podcast episode, David C. Baker and Blair Hens discuss the common advice to 'do what you love and the money will follow.' They argue that this advice can be misleading and potentially lead to poor outcomes. They emphasize the importance of uncoupling passion from work, suggesting that the primary criteria for a successful career is not simply loving what you do, but rather having expertise and the ability to make money while making an impact for clients. They caution against pursuing work solely based on passion, as it can lead to misguided choices and unfulfilling outcomes.
