What Do You Love?
"What do you do?" is a question that is about as automatic as it gets when meeting someone new. It also happens to be dreaded by many, namely those who are undergoing career changes or hoping to seek out an identity outside of their 9-5.
Posing the question "What do you love?" instead invites people to open up about the things that actually make them who they are and truly make them tick. Deeper and more meaningful conversations can abound if we seek to learn more about someone's "why"s over their "what"s, and back-burnering the topic of their past, present, or future occupation.
Join host Justin Gott for this weekly show as he presents the titular question to thoughtful and interesting people in order to learn more about the them that exists outside of their daily line of work... and maybe pick up a thing or two about himself in the process.
What Do You Love?
Being Middle-Brained & Cooking Shows
My guest for this episode is Molly Barnes. During our conversation, we discussed the qualities that lead her to believe she’s neither right nor left but instead middle-brained; her quest to have a life where she explores her creativity and still has an impact on the world; the pressures of teaching and what eventually led to her leaving the classroom; her motivation to seek out more “both and” opportunities instead of “either or”s; and ultimately, why she loves cooking shows.
