## Resource

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I discuss the staggering reality that work occupies 50% of your waking adult life and why doing something you hate for material items is a losing game. I also dive deep into why self-awareness and ignoring the "noise" of outside judgment are the ultimate keys to long-term fulfillment. You’ll learn about: The connection between work ethic and addressing unhappiness How to build extreme self-awareness by accepting your flaws The importance of loving the process over material rewards Why excuses are poison to your progress How to stop being crippled by the opinions of others
