Leap Academy with Ilana Golan · Discover Your Working Genius and Beat Career Burnout | Patrick Lencioni | E147 · 24 Feb 2026 podcast

Every job comes down to, are you going to love the day to day?

And people will say to me now, and I love this, this fits in with Leap Academy so well.

People will say, give me advice.

I want to do what you're doing now.

And the advice is always, hey, every step of the way, we loved that step.

And if that were the last step, we could have done that for the rest of our careers.

So don't do something so that it leads to the next thing and the next thing.

And then finally, you'll be happy.

You'll never be good at it and you'll never get there.

So powerful.

Yeah, when we started that little consulting firm, we said, hey, if we can just work with people we love, make enough money to pay the bills and enjoy the day-to-day, this is enough.

I think it was Theodore Roosevelt who said, comparison is the thief of joy.

And when we look around and go, well, that person does this, that person does this.

I should be like them.

You might find yourself, like my job at Bain, like technically successful, but not happy and no peace.

And you can't sustain that for very long.

So what I finally realized is I needed to do the things that, I'm a big believer in the one of the worst things in life is the Sunday blues, which is, oh no, I have to go to work tomorrow.

And I don't care how much money you make or how sexy or well-known your job is.

If on Sundays, you're like, oh, tomorrow will be fine.
