Description

Tom Cruise once said, “I feel the need – the need for speed.” He could very well have been summarizing how many of us are feeling nearly 40 years later. (Yes, it has been that long. #old) Whether it be a need for belonging, more money, a clearer identity, more engaging work, or something else so many of us are looking for the short and quick path to “better”. Unresolved pain gets our attention, and that pain is what causes many of us to be impulsive at work and at home and to buy into the promises from companies like LuLaRoe. Oh yes, Nayla gets into a rant in this episode about LuLaRoe. You are not going to want to miss it. What LuLaRoe – and other multi-level marketing companies – know is that humans are wired to accept the promise of quick fixes when they are experiencing pain. In this episode we talk about the importance of slowing down our decision making and exploring other options to generate momentum in our lives. We discuss what quick wins are and are not, and how to create them the right way. We also talk the importance of finding ways to create a substantial and lasting change for the better, and why we should be curious about what we’re already doing well when looking for ways to create more value in our lives. And we talk about how Tom Cruise runs, and why Will Ferrell is always in his underwear.   Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.   To learn more about us and our work and to join our mailing list, visit www.insidejobthepodcast.com or email us at info@insidejobthepodcast.com.   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, check out our show notes.   Let’s connect!

We’re Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we’ll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.
