"No enemy is worse than bad advice."
~Sophocles
In a culture where anyone can publish anything with no more experience than an internet connection, certain platitudes are taken as gospel. With thousands of "life coaches" posting advice, the same tired advice gets repurposed ad nauseam. In this episode, Frank Cava and Ian Mathews take a contrarian stance on some commonly accepted wisdom.
In this episode:
· Maybe you shouldn't "follow your passion"
· Hard work alone has a ceiling
· Translating what a manager really means when they say you should "be patient"
· What goes unspoken when someone tells you that "you can be anything you want to be"
· Why balance is only a function of your ambition
· How to explain a short stint on your resume
· If you don't toot your own horn, who will?
· No one wants to hear how things were done in your old company
