Description
Today we’re exploring the trade-offs we make at work and over the course of our careers, how we think about potential gains and losses, and the inside job to shift the stories we tell ourselves about our decisions. We open today’s show talking about the daily life trade-off between eating at the kitchen table and eating over the sink — the classic etiquette vs. efficiency debate. (This includes that Kung Fu Panda, “Don’t Tell Monkey” moment when someone catches us!) Then, we move on to address a listener question that gets to the heart of the tradeoffs we make in our work and our lives. From The Good Place to Almost Famous, we share touchpoints that help us examine these gains or losses more deeply. The inside job here is to pay attention to what can be gained as much as what can be lost, to acknowledge the complexity of the things we believe are important, to examine the stories we may be telling ourselves, and to be honest about whether “the market” will truly care either way. Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
