Guest host Julie Chavez interviews New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler about The Search: Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World, an insightful, game-changing book that reimagines work and offers actionable steps for living a happy and meaningful work life. Bruce shares how experiencing his own “lifequakes” (like his cancer diagnosis at 43) turned into a love of hearing other peoples’ life stories. And now, a love of nonlinear work-life stories! He also shares fascinating trends and statistics about the American workforce (did you know that one million people quit their job every week?) and then discusses “workquakes”, main jobs vs. side jobs vs. hope jobs, and how we are all slowly starting to prioritize life.
