Episode 52. "Do what you love & you'll never work a day" w/ William Deck

 

In this episode of S*%! People Say, we’re unpacking the cliché, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Joining me is my good friend William Deck, a success mindset coach, keynote speaker, thought leader and the best person I could think of to tackle this subject. 

What does it means to love what you do? As we dive deep into our conversation, William shares his perspective on how our mindset impacts how we work. When you know your WHY, the reason behind why you do what you do, you can find more joy in living—but this is a conscious decision. 

At the end of the episode, I share my thoughts on this saying (as promised) and Will leaves his thoughts on why we need to learn to love ourselves first.
