What happens when someone earns $500,000 a month assuming it will make them happy and instead ends up more miserable?
After Nick spent some time with a friend in this position it sparked and had a social media post on this topic pop off it sparked an interesting and widely varied conversation between us on money, happiness, hard work and what success really means.
In this episode we discuss the idea of not being able to love what you loathe, the dangers of moving the goal post on goals and why people who try to skip working on themselves in pursuit of goals end up unhappy.
We also look at while people get anxiety when tackling big goals and taking on new responsibilites and how much of what we do is really drive by instincts and biology.
This podcast went all over the place but we ended up roping things back in to give anyone listening some good food for thought and takeaways.
