Description

What if everything you've been told about following your passion is actually holding you back from finding truly meaningful work? Jeremy Schifeling from Khan Academy completely flips the script on career advice, revealing why he hires people based on what they can DO, not what they're passionate about—and why starting with passion is just like chasing a big salary. **Ready to love your Mondays?

Get the first chapters FREE here.** In this eye-opening conversation, he shares his journey from being a "thoroughly mediocre" kindergarten teacher in Brooklyn to becoming a marketing leader helping millions access free education, proving that your biggest career pivots often come from unexpected layoffs and trial-and-error discovery. Jeremy's contrarian take on mentorship, his "portfolio career" philosophy, and his brutal honesty about figuring out your strengths will challenge everything you think you know about building a meaningful career. If you've ever felt stuck trying to force yourself into the "right" path or wondered how to actually discover what you're good at, this episode will give you permission to experiment your way to work that's worth it.
