What would happen if you realized that you aren’t actually doing what you love? How would you transition into a truly meaningful life?

While we’re at it, what does it really mean to use your gifts to change the world? And how can you earn your living along the way?

If you’re working for yourself already you know how easy it can be to get caught up in the busy-ness and lose track of what matters most.

Well, this episode is going to SORT YOU OUT!

Today on the show we are joined by Charles Eisenstein, author, scholar and speaker.

And Charles is going to help us all think DEEPER about how we earn our money.

Charles is known for his thoughtful and challenging articles on civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. He has a degree in mathematics and philosophy from Yale and is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, just to name a few.

Inside this episode, we get into some really deep and really important mindset shift changes. We get the chance to discuss what it looks like when you realize that you aren’t actually doing what you love, how to transition into a life that is truly meaningful, and how to turn it into a career that pays. On top of that, we dig into what it really means to find your calling and use the gifts that you were given to answer a need in the world, and find the opportunities along the way.

This podcast is free for your enjoyment, so dive right in!
