Why Following Your Passion Is Bad Advice | Terri Trespicio

Send us a textWhen Terri Trespicio was invited to do a TEDx Talk, she had no idea what subject she would speak on. Her talk now has over eight million views.

READ.”In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Terri about her book, Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life That Matters to You, and how to create a life you enjoy.Want to become a published author?
