How to Be a Better Human · The right risks to take for a great career (w/ Molly Graham) (video) · 20 Apr 2026 podcast

What if you're better than you think you are?

What if this thing leads you to something that you can't imagine?

And for me, that's been the case where, you know, I've certainly failed a lot, but I've also found things that I, like, could not have possibly imagined where I was qualified for a job or I, you know, built a relationship with someone that if I hadn't taken the risk, I would never would have known, you know?

So.

I think like, why do we work?

The first answer is to have enough money to support ourselves and our family and to live a life that we want.

And for a lot of people, that is the first and primary answer.

There is like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right?

Like, I got to make sure I have food and, you know, work.

is a huge piece of that for a lot of people.

But I do think that I've just seen a lot of friends sort of blindly follow that motivator, right?

Money.

And I mean, the inverse is also true, which is that you can

design a career where you're never going to make money.

I mean, you're an artist on some level, and you've seen a lot of friends, I'm sure, struggle with the relationship between what they feel like they've been put on earth to do and what they can make money doing.

So I always say that the true sort of like version of your craft is like

The things that you love doing, the things that you're great at, and then the things people will pay you a bunch of money to do.

That's the happiest Venn diagram in the world.

But I think that money is a real factor.

And until you feel financially taken care of or financially safe, money can often be the sort of big red light that's stopping you from taking risks and things like that.
