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?
Having Dominion Over My Time & Scuba Diving
My guest for this episode is Joe Kapp. During our conversation, we discussed his recognition that we aren’t here for a long time and how that has affected his decision-making processes; how he truly doesn’t care what others think about him; the concept of the “crab pot” and how it relates to both personal and professional relationships; his decision to focus on entrepreneurship in order to have dominion over his time; the importance of trying to silence the incredibly loud loss aversion voice in your head; and ultimately, why he loves scuba diving.
