Then, in the second half, we revisit his earlier book The Good Enough Job — a reminder that a meaningful life can't be measured in output and hustle alone. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
