“How is this going to serve me?” I bristle when I hear that phrase because I once believed words like that were the epitome of “self-ish” — NOT SO!
Julian Sarafian speaks to his high-pressured path from Berkeley to Harvard to a career in Big Law and then his decision to go a different direction.
We have romanticized hustle-culture and for what? It often tanks our mental and physical health - and it doesn't make much of a life either.
This conversation illuminates the sheer necessity of relooking at what we want and what serves us so that we can live fully and contribute meaningful work and a full self to the world.
