Speaker 1 (00:00):
Prompt Us is a production of I Heart Radio. Welcome
back to the prompt Us podcast. I am your host,
Gabriel Canti World exactly you should do a Chad in
a world where one podcast, three guys one Mike, all
fighting to share advice. Tune end to this podcast one afternoon.
(00:26):
It gets all whis free. Three guy one Mike. Okay,
well we actually need to do this. What's up, guys.
My name is Gabriel. Welcome to the prompt this podcast.
I'm one of your hosts. My name is Gabriel, like
I just said, and I'm joined by my other two
co hosts, Chad and Zach from across the Pond in Australia.
(00:46):
Like what Gabe said, across the Pond in Australia. Are
you guys ready for the prompt? You just want to
jump into this one. Let's just jump jump into We
don't need any intros. This doesn't need to talk dot
even have a YouTube channel anymore. M Let's just jump
into it. Philip to Franco. Yeah, you still doing this thing?
He still is? I watched your recent one. I am okay.
(01:08):
So this this prompt is brought to you by and
again we're going to screw up the name Millie confidence,
did we not? Just I have confidence in my screw ups.
I'm confidently screwing up right now. It's about to say.
We just talked about this in the last episode. So
this is from Millie from Uruguay. I love that. I
love how isn't it? Probably? But don't forget I am white,
(01:35):
so it's like, it's not it's not fajitas. It's fajitas. Okay, yeah, yeah,
I just let me just be the bar. The bar
is really low for me. Yeah, I got so. We
actually we I think all three of us love this
prompt because the college episode was so spicy about is
(01:57):
going to college worth it? And this episode it's almost
like a build up off of it, which is it
is kind of dude. People were people got upset, people
were upset, sorry feathers, and people didn't like our opinions.
You know. I think there's just a few loud minority
(02:19):
like not minority people, but people, just a few loud
people like people always You're like, yeah, the people who
hated us, they was a handful of them. No, but
I mean out of the out of like the thousands,
I think there was just a few loud ones. You
know what I mean, I do want to say most
of them are like real respectful, like, oh yeah, opposite opinions,
(02:39):
you know what I mean. You know, we we're not
We're not copping on anyone right now. What we're saying
is there was a lot of no, but everyone who
did say something was like offering their actual valid opinion
rather than just being like, you guys are stupid. It
was good. It was good, good bantern what we like.
Did you not read the comments or is that just
me what it was? It was a little bit more aggressive.
(03:04):
I um, and I think I think the big thing
that we just want to um confidently remind people of is, hey,
this is well, we're not the authority on these subjects.
This is speaking from our own experience, in our own
learnings and in our own our own life. And so
as we're sharing different pieces of advice, uh, we're sharing
from that lens. And so obviously it's gonna be stewed
(03:25):
in a certain direction. Obviously because what we believe in
faith wise, that's gonna push our thoughts in a certain direction.
Then what we each three have been through separately is
going to push this in a certain direction. As well,
and so we do want to encourage you to listen
to it through the lens of how this applies to
you in your own context, right, because this isn't gonna
apply perfectly to everyone. This is not like a blanket
blanket formula for your life. This is just hopefully so
(03:48):
you can hear conversations and have people work through problems
and stuff like that in a in a reasonably fun
but healthy, deep way. So the prompt which so for
today's episode that apparent only according to Chat, it's gonna
ruffle some more feathers. No, I I think it's a
good piggyback off of that original episode. How can you
start working towards your dream job? And the reason I
(04:09):
say it's a piggyback off of it is because if
your dream job requires you to go to college, that's
one way you can start working towards going to it.
But if it doesn't require that, then you don't have to.
And I don't want to make this whole topic about
the whole college situation, but I just wanted to share
that a lot of our heart on that episode was
if you have a dream, what what is it really
(04:30):
require to get there? Right? Or are we just going
through the motions of what people tell us that we
need to do. Yeah, it's so important to acknowledge. Like
if you know what your dream job is, you're already
so far ahead. That's actually if you're thinking like, yeah,
my dream job is this, and like come on, man,
that's dope. Like now you know that you have some
(04:50):
way to work towards. It's about working out those baby steps.
And I think something that I've learned from my dream
job whatever that maybe I'm still working it out. See
I'm good examples. But like for me, I didn't know
the baby steps are making content or making music. I
didn't know those baby steps. So what I did was
surround myself with people who were doing that. And I
(05:11):
think that's probably like one of the first things I
recommend if you know what your dream job is, just
like start on the ground floor. If it's about working
for Apple or a company or Facebook, where wherever you
want to work, just get on the ground floor, you know,
like sweep. I don't that sounds crazy, but like just
get into the building because now you're surrounded by the
people that are actually doing what you say is your
dream job. If it's creating then surround yourself with creators.
(05:34):
I don't know, I just think that's such a good
practical first way to kind of step towards that surrounding
yourself by people and then additionally is like refining your craft.
Are the tools that you need to accomplish whatever that
dream job is, like, if you want to become I
don't know, the best I was looking at us acts
(05:56):
so the best music producer in the world, you know,
the most accomplished music producer. You're not gonna get there
by only sitting in writing rooms and producing sessions. You
need to also be producing yourself. You can't just be
sitting there picking piggybacking off of other people. Having those
connections and being surrounded by people and being able to
(06:16):
engage in those conversations and getting more knowledge from that
type of community that you're surrounding yourself by. It's very
important for for multiple reasons, motivation to stay motivated from
just interacting with those kinds of people, um, learning new
things from those people and you know, all the things
(06:37):
that you get from like that kind of community setting.
But also you need to be refining on a daily
basis the craft that you that that you need to
achieve the dream job. I think that's what I struggle
with the most, is actually working on the things that
are the most important towards the dream job. I'm and
I hope you don't mind if I just kind of
(06:57):
speak candidly from like you know, about myself. It sounds
so weird because I'm kind of not afraid to say
this to myself, but when you say it online, it
just feels funny. It feels very um like a lot.
But I feel very confident because soon tier that his
headphones almost came off. Did you see that if you're
(07:18):
watching on YouTube? Just saw what we just saw. So
that that means he has to keep it in. That's
why I said that he has to keep it in
the in the episode. But um, I feel pretty confident
in my ability to to meet people, network and learn. Um.
And I also feel pretty confident in my ability to
like unpack what it is you actually need, which is
almost like you know, like reverse engineering. Right, where so
(07:41):
if you have a dream to be a music producer, well, okay,
meet one of those people and find out what you
need to do, and then work your way backwards to
where you are right and then find the goal and
reverse engineering steps together, and so I feel pretty confident
doing that, but when it comes to actually practicing the craft,
that's what I probably struggle with the most. That's so
funny because I'm the exact opposite. I can find the
motivation to every day hunker down and focus and refine
(08:03):
my thing, but I'm just so bad at networking because
it may been like me being jaded in l a
from like the way that world networks. I just got
especially like in the YouTube space and stuff. I think
I just got so turned off by it, not even
like burnt, but just like turned off by it because
there's you know, some people are fake and this and
(08:24):
that you don't know like if people are genuine and
relationships that they like people are using each other for
their own careers rather rather than like actual friendship and
community and stuff. And um, I just like kind of
stopped the networking because I was like wanting to protect myself,
I guess in a way. And I don't know, I
just realized now, like no, that's actually networking. Isn't this
(08:47):
like bad thing, Like it's actually really important and you
need to approach your understanding like this is at least
my head headspace now on the whole networking things, like
I need to go in understanding because the other person
also understands in this work relationship that it is a
work relationship. And like if we become good friends and
(09:08):
if we click and bond or whatever and something great
comes out of it, awesome, we're gonna be tight homies
and we work in the same industry even better. But
a work relationship is a work relationship, and that's you know,
that first agreement, that first like non verbal contract that
you create through like that networking experience, and it's something
(09:29):
that I'm I'm learning now to be more comfortable with
and understand and something that I'm like trying to I
don't know, like get my toes into more, because that's
the part that I'm really bad at where I can
sit back every day and be like, I'm gonna refine
my craft. I'm gonna but whatever the thing is, like
practice of music or editing or I don't know, videography,
(09:52):
all the random things that I've decided to try and tackle.
So out of there's like three kind of tip sack.
Where do you think you fall in those? Like I guess,
I guess the third I think the first one is
like deconstructing what actually needs to be done to work
towards your dream. The second one would be the networking,
the third would be refining your craft. Right is that
(10:13):
kind of you know? Yeah? You know me and try
to because because I wrote down like the community and
then the craft was like was the first one networking
or the third one? Yeah? I mean, I feel like
I'm very much in the learning phase. And actually a
big thing that I've learned over this last month or
so is that you should never leave the learning phase.
That you should always be pursuing getting better at your craft.
(10:36):
You should always pursue wanting to improve a skill set,
even if it's not like a direct linked skill set.
For example. You know, um, so you become a like
the cleaner at Disney, which is how isn't that how
did Bob I get in? He was a cleaner? Do
you guys know Bobiga? Yeah? Yeah, um so I'm pretty
sure he was did a clean at ABC. Yeah so
(10:58):
ABC and then ABC got bored out. Um, and so
I'm sure he was a great cleaner. I know that
sounds really weird, but I'm sure that he invested energy
into being the best kind of thing. He can be
in that space at that time, and so even if
it feels safe, for example, music production is a great example.
Those of you who don't know what I Bob Iger
was he is or did he step down from the
(11:20):
CEO of Disney, He's still is? No, I think he's
still see your right, Okay, Okay? I like I felt
like I heard something like a year ago that he
stepped down or something, but that might have been really no,
I thought he was still at the top. Anyway, it
doesn't matter Ceo of Disney from being a cleaner at ABC.
That's the moral of the story, totally, Like yeah, yeah,
(11:41):
And I just think like it's it's easy for like
me to say that, right, Like it's really easy if
you're listening to this see like sweet Zach. But there's
like a billion steps in between. And I think that's
that kind of the place that I mean is like
I just need to be learning and keep learning, get
better at the craft whatever it may be. Maybe it's talking.
You know, we talked about confidence in the last episode,
and it's like, you know, you guys made it really
(12:01):
clear that you've just got to keep doing it. You
just have to keep doing it, and I think that
paired with patients, but it's like the hardest combination, like
I need to learn more while also being patient. Like
it's it's just such a rough combination. So like, yeah,
that's kind of where I'm at right now, is that
and being okay in that place. And I think truly,
if it is your dream job, that won't matter, you know,
(12:24):
like if you if you've really committed to that being
maybe you feel it's purposeful, it won't matter that you
have to be patient. And that's where I am right now.
I feel like I've found something that I'm like, you
know what, this doesn't happen, it doesn't need to happen tomorrow.
I'm really okay with that. I'm just loving the process.
And so I think that's how you can truly, I mean,
I know that's not what the problem. The problem wasn't
(12:45):
how do I find my dream job? But definitely part
of that is like, hey, if you're okay to put
in the time and the energy and meet the people
and surround yourself with these people, then you'll probably be
in a pretty good way. I think that's that aligns
really well with a book that we're reading right now,
which is the YouTube formula. Zach and I are both
(13:06):
going through it. My voice crack so shout out, but
um I he talks about something really good there, which
it's funny because I, I like kind of went through it,
but I didn't really go through it on YouTube specifically.
Let me explain. He talks about, if you want to
become a YouTuber, you need to start out. I'm making
(13:28):
videos in just set a goal to make one hundred
YouTube videos and you're going to He's like, you're going
to get nowhere by making one d YouTube videos, but
you need to do it. I love it. Zach and
I looked at each other and we're like, yes, But
now I say the reason why Yeah, But the reason
(13:48):
why I say that I never went through it is
because I didn't experience that on YouTube. I like kind
of had success right away on YouTube, but that was
because I built my vine following. On vine, I did
posted videos. Literally, it was probably a vine every day
for a year, every day for six months, and I
(14:10):
finally got to ten thousand followers and then and you
were able to grow quicker back then, So that's kind
of like a shortened timeline still, but it was like
an everyday and YouTube videos are obviously longer and stuff
like that. But I was posting every single day to
try and make this thing happen. And I see what
Zach is doing it on YouTube. He's doing the hustle.
And you, dude, we're tracking Jess and I are looking
(14:33):
at your channel, watching your videos, tracking your growth because
you just have this dream. And what's what's so funny
is like YouTube specifically, and I don't know if this
applies to like other jobs, but even starting out, you
are doing your dream job from the beginning, but it's
(14:54):
not actually the dream that you have, because your dream
job is doing YouTube with the huge amount of success
that comes with hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers
and stuff like that. Like, you're still doing your dream
job with zero subscribers on YouTube, but you're not doing
(15:15):
it with a level of success that you want. So
is is it really your dream job before you dive
into doing it or are you just doing it for
the novelty or the success or whatever it may be.
You know, I love talking to people. I love talking.
I'm sorry, I'm confident. It's confident. It's it's something that
(15:38):
Tory and I talked to people a lot about like so,
so we'll see messages or comments like how do you
start a podcast? Or how do you start a YouTube channel?
All this stuff or or people say, oh, I want
to do that, blah blah blah. And I always asked him, like,
why do you want to do it? Because if you
want to do it and be famous, it's gonna be
it's gonna be a hard road. It's gonna be a
really hard, long road. But if you want to do
(15:59):
it because you want to either entertain or encourage someone
with whatever it is you create, that means if you
get one view, mission accomplished, right and so, But people
start to attach all these really harsh, I don't want
to say, unrealistic but hard expectations to their dream job,
where I need to be growing by this much, I
(16:19):
need to be here by this time, and then I'm
actualizing my dreams. So I love what you're saying. Are
you willing to do it if you don't have any
success in it? You know, is it still your dream? Then?
You know, it's a really important question that you just
brought up. But the way to get the success is
to do it without the success. At the beginning, That's
what I'm saying. And those things aren't bad, you know
what I mean, like tracking and having these goals and
(16:41):
like kind of tracking your progress and getting that, but
having like like if you don't reach those certain milestones
or goals and you follow a little short of whatever
these these goals are that you're setting for yourself, is
that affecting your happiness and destroying your personal I don't
(17:02):
know happiness, I guess. And how much of your happiness
is fully tinggent on that single like gold or these
milestones or whatever. I love that because what it sounds
like what you're saying is is how much of your
dream job is contingent on the success of it or
the action of it? You know, because whenever someone has
(17:24):
a dream, there's an action happening. It's not just like,
you know, like just enjoying it. You're living it in
a dream, there's a there's an action actually happening. And
so for us, are we are are we enjoying the
action of our dream or do we only want the
benefits that come along with the dream, you know, with
no nightmares involved. It's kind of interesting. It's yeah, it's
(17:45):
interesting as well because I think even by answering this
question like what my what who I am? Because I'm
working my dream job? Why is that what I'm working for?
Let me try and phrase it a different way, like
is my dream job more important than my habits daily?
Does that make sense? Like my obsession of what I
could be the person that I could be? How I
(18:08):
think that's a trap when we start obsessing about what
we could be in the dream drub you can have.
It's so important to have goals, like, don't get me wrong,
Like if you flip and want to be a software
developer at Google, then let's go that's dope. But that obsession,
if is that stopping you from the habits daily that
are actually going to get you there, like educating yourself more,
like connecting with people more. Is that going to stop
(18:29):
you from doing that? Because if so, you need to
just stop thinking about the process. Dude, you need to
just stop. Dude. Let that is so great because I
find myself in that trap a lot if I start.
I have a pretty obsessive personality. So when I find
something that I want and have a goal that join
the club, baby, and I have this goal that I want,
right and I and I can visualize the goal. I
(18:51):
can see where I want to go, and I'm like,
that's where I want to go. I can spend so
much of my time hyper focused looking way down the
road or at the billboard or whatever it is that
you're looking at way down the line and just sitting
online watching videos of what it would be, Like, what
is it going to be like when I get there?
(19:11):
How will life be different? You know what I mean?
Like looking at all this stuff and it's like, wait, wait,
If you actually want to get there, having that as
a goal is great, but you need to be spending
your time working on the steps that are right in
front of you. Like if you're not, if you're not
strategizing your your next step and your step after that,
(19:32):
how the heck are do you think you're gonna make
it the whole marathon? You know what I mean? You
need to be focused on the things that are right
in front of you day to day. Like you're saying, yeah, practicing,
refining your craft every day, whatever the thing is. And
I don't know, you said, like the software engineer, I
don't know what they do. I don't code, but like
I don't know, coding every day and practicing that every day,
(19:54):
refining your craft, building some amazing things to get you
to that point you're doing the networking, reaching out to
one new person. I heard this story and I forget
where it's from. I think it was from a book,
And it was this guy who became like the best
salesman in this certain company. He was like all the
greatest salesman of all time. And what he attributed it
(20:16):
to was this one habit that he did. He wasn't
focused on becoming the greatest salesman of all time and
getting upset when he didn't reach employee of the Month
that month or whatever. His focus was this cup that
he had that he had full of one hundred paper clips,
and he had another cup next to it that was empty.
And his goal every day was by the end of
(20:38):
the day, every time he made a sales call, he
took one paper clip from the full cup and put
it into the empty cup, made another sales call, put
it in the full cup, into the empty cup until
it was empty. The next day, did it again, the
next day, did it again next day. And because he
did that same thing every single day, over and over repetition,
he became this uber successful sales man yeah, And I
(21:01):
wish I could give credit to whatever book it was,
but I forget was it essentialism? It could have it
could have been, Yeah, because you're nodding like you heard
it and it was. I think it was Essentialism. Yeah, yeah,
I've I definitely heard it. Yeah, I definitely heard that forward, dude.
I mean, it reminds me of um, this Casey Nisa
quote where he says, overthinking the process will kill any
career in the creative space. You just have to do,
(21:24):
not think. And it's like the task that that guy
had in place was moving a paper clip. He made
it a very trivial, small task instead of being like,
I'm nervous about making this phone call right now, I
wonder what the person on the other side is going
to say about it and the anxieties that come with that.
And it's exactly the same. I'm sure you guys get
it with you know, we can only obviously speak from
(21:44):
a creative place, but like making videos all the time,
it's like the last thing, the last thing to do
to yourself is get anxious about what the video is about.
It's still better just to make the video and work
it out from there. And and so yeah, man, I
just I'm I'm convicted right now, dude, legit. I was
filming videos today and I'm like, I need to just
(22:05):
film my video. I just need to do it. I
need to stop worrying. Like, is the content that I'm
reacting to good enough content for me to react to?
Will I be funny enough to like be okay in
this genre of YouTube that is, you know, typically really
comedic genre, Like all these things are running through my
head and I constantly have to tell myself, dude, shut
(22:29):
up freaking hit record and film your video, like you're fine,
just shut up and do your thing. Yeah, I really,
I really like what you guys are saying. It Really
it speaks a lot to me because I I love
how many books that you guys mentioned to me to
like check out and read, you know, like you guys
really encourage essentialism and tell my havocs and now the
(22:51):
YouTube YouTube formula and so all those interest me. But
I also have a pretty addictive personality, and I know
that in the past whenever I've tried to like micromanage
every single little piece of like Tory nine and what
we do, um, I I became like a robot and
I lost a piece myself where I actually have to
(23:15):
hold back myself from seeing some of those tips and
tricks because while they're great wisdom, they I feel like
there's so many things I'm doing wrong that I become inactive.
So I almost just kind of walk. I don't wanta
say blindly, but it's like the lights are dim. It's
almost like, you know, if you ever woke on the
middle the middle night, you don't want to wake up
your wife, and so you don't want to turn on
all the lights. You just kind of fumble your way
(23:36):
through a little bit. And I do a little bit
about I do a little bit of that in my
career just because it helps me to to not be
so like to try to be perfect right, I'm not
afraid to bump into a wall, and because I think
what's so important is you have to start where you are.
You know that every journey starts with one step. Every
(23:58):
every journey starts with one step, and you have to
take that step no matter how far the journey is.
And for me personally, if I can't see how far
the fridge is, I'll take another step, and then I'll
take another step, and then I'll take another step. But
if I do see how far it is and how
I need to read all these books and know all
these things, I might my personality, by the way, my
personality may talk myself out of it. I'm like, oh,
(24:20):
that's too much, you know, Oh I need uh what
kind of cameras that over there? It's how much did
that cost? It's okay, you can crab how much was it?
Oh gosh, just give us a ballpark with the lens
with the lens lens that lens. I invested in that lens, Dude,
(24:43):
that's the lens I've been using for like four years,
that lens. The thing the lens is like three thousand
or just shy of three, and the camera body is
like the camera bodyes like looking at Yeah, it's like
three pointing. Okay, so it's probably seven grand. Right. So
(25:05):
for me, I had wanted to start doing some type
of social media stuff for a while there, even whenever
in New York. I was looking at this stuff, but
I didn't think I had the right camera, you know,
and so I just had I was like, oh, I
need to get this camera that Casey Nesta has or whatever. Like, dude,
That's exactly what Zach was talking about, right is the
overthinking of the whole thing. Like that's why I'm so
(25:27):
happy that I was able to start on Fine because
I didn't the barrier to entry, Like you couldn't use
a nicer camera until people freaking hacked the app and
stuff and they were able to upload you know, high
quality stuff, but you couldn't use in it like I
had to use my phone, you know what I mean.
But then I ended up technically I could have stopped
(25:51):
myself in that moment because I had an Android, which
for anyone who was on Fine back in the day
knew that was crap quality. Any video we're uploading, the
audio is UNSYNCD and you had a total of two
pixels on screen. Like it was so bad. I was like,
I'm gonna do it anyway, Like I'm still gonna make
(26:11):
these videos and everything. And I was able to like
save money from doing that so consistently you can invest
in this. I invested in what was the iPhone five C,
the plastic colored ones, but you know, I invest in
the iPod Touch first because it was cheaper. Because I
couldn't afford an iPhone, so I filmed with the iPod
(26:32):
that I would carry both around, so I could film
with an iPod Touch and then find WiFi somewhere and
then upload it. And I loved it because you had
to start where you were. And it's the same thing
even if you know, no matter what your dream job is.
And of course we're speaking about creative fields. Of course
you know you do need to find those experts or
people that are doing what you're doing. I mean, honestly,
(26:53):
get on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is one of the most popping
social media sites out there. People just sleep on it.
It's so funny. I don't even have a LinkedIn profile,
and I'm like, should I have one? Because you're freaking
Chad Masters. Well, I had to. I had to start
one in college. Um but no, it's it's a great
way make you start one in your and we had to.
(27:14):
We had to connect with everybody. We had to. If
you look it up, I look like a total nerd,
but it's it's life. But my my point is you
can search a certain type of job, like a software engineer,
like what you're mentioning or whatever. You can find people,
message him and literally put yourself out there, be bold
and say hey, I'm interested in what you do. Would
(27:35):
you mind if I got your email just to ask
you a few questions are better, Yet, if you have time,
could I, if I live in the same area, could
I take you to a coffee? Or could I hop
on the phone call with you for fifteen minutes? I
just want to pick your brain. How did you get
to where you are? What did you have to do?
And start to walk backwards from there. Because I love
everything you guys are saying, because I feel like we
all have slightly different methods of like going after something,
(27:56):
but you always end up in the same area, right,
And and that should be encouraging to people who are listening,
is that there's not one set thing for you to do.
You have to figure out what works for you. You know,
it's a lot of those systems and processes that you
build refining. Yes, you you have to. There's one thing
(28:18):
that I've talked about. Remember when I talked about building
your ideal week. That was something that I built so
I can kind of create a process for myself of
what I wanted to see myself do within a week,
and then what didn't work I changed, and what worked
I kept and maybe even refined a little more. And
(28:40):
it's a constant flow of figuring out how you operate
and how just like getting the best tools in your
tool belt to get you to the place that you
want to go. Yeah. Absolutely. I know some people may
be listening and they're just not really sure what their
what their dream job is or how to figure that out.
And and I have two things. Number One, sometimes your
(29:03):
dream job kind of just unfold as time goes right,
because I was a full time model learning how to
do stuff on camera. And Tori was a social media
manager where she she managed small businesses social media. And
now when you put those combined with what we do
for work, it's kind of funny and it kind of
it kind of fell in our lap, like that's the
YouTube formula. But but more so than that, if you're
(29:26):
sitting down, um and listening to this podcast, UM, I
encourage you to draw a triangle and then work with
me just on this just for a quick only if
you're sitting down, Yeah, if you're standing, don't do if
you're laying in bed, don't do it. You're working now, Yeah,
I love It's like part and straight to jail, Straight
to jail. I love the guys like overcooked the chicken,
(29:50):
straight to jail. It was like undercook I. Um So,
if you look at the triangle and you look at
the bottom right verticey, you want to write all your
abilities right, everything that you're good at, Okay, and don't
be shy. This is just you write down everything that
you're good at, management skills, communication skills, a triangle triangle.
(30:12):
Then the bottom left verticy right your affinities, which is
what you're drawn to, what you're passionate about. I'm passionate
about helping people. I'm passionate about encouraging people. I'm passionate
about creating things. I'm passionate about food. Right, everything you're
passionate about. And then at the top center verticy you
know it's a triangle right, your opportunities. So where your
(30:33):
abilities get married to your affinities, those are your opportunities
because you're doing what you love with what you're good at,
and that's how you develop your dream job. Yo, what's up? Guys?
Thank you so much for watching this episode of prompt Us.

Prompt Us is a production of I Heart Radio. Welcome
back to the prompt Us podcast. I am your host,
Gabriel Canti World exactly you should do a Chad in
a world where one podcast, three guys one Mike, all
fighting to share advice. Tune end to this podcast one afternoon.
(00:26):
It gets all whis free. Three guy one Mike. Okay,
well we actually need to do this. What's up, guys.
My name is Gabriel. Welcome to the prompt this podcast.
I'm one of your hosts. My name is Gabriel, like
I just said, and I'm joined by my other two
co hosts, Chad and Zach from across the Pond in Australia.
(00:46):
Like what Gabe said, across the Pond in Australia. Are
you guys ready for the prompt? You just want to
jump into this one. Let's just jump jump into We
don't need any intros. This doesn't need to talk dot
even have a YouTube channel anymore. M Let's just jump
into it. Philip to Franco. Yeah, you still doing this thing?
He still is? I watched your recent one. I am okay.
(01:08):
So this this prompt is brought to you by and
again we're going to screw up the name Millie confidence,
did we not? Just I have confidence in my screw ups.
I'm confidently screwing up right now. It's about to say.
We just talked about this in the last episode. So
this is from Millie from Uruguay. I love that. I
love how isn't it? Probably? But don't forget I am white,
(01:35):
so it's like, it's not it's not fajitas. It's fajitas. Okay, yeah, yeah,
I just let me just be the bar. The bar
is really low for me. Yeah, I got so. We
actually we I think all three of us love this
prompt because the college episode was so spicy about is
(01:57):
going to college worth it? And this episode it's almost
like a build up off of it, which is it
is kind of dude. People were people got upset, people
were upset, sorry feathers, and people didn't like our opinions.
You know. I think there's just a few loud minority
(02:19):
like not minority people, but people, just a few loud
people like people always You're like, yeah, the people who
hated us, they was a handful of them. No, but
I mean out of the out of like the thousands,
I think there was just a few loud ones. You
know what I mean, I do want to say most
of them are like real respectful, like, oh yeah, opposite opinions,
(02:39):
you know what I mean. You know, we we're not
We're not copping on anyone right now. What we're saying
is there was a lot of no, but everyone who
did say something was like offering their actual valid opinion
rather than just being like, you guys are stupid. It
was good. It was good, good bantern what we like.
Did you not read the comments or is that just
me what it was? It was a little bit more aggressive.
(03:04):
I um, and I think I think the big thing
that we just want to um confidently remind people of is, hey,
this is well, we're not the authority on these subjects.
This is speaking from our own experience, in our own
learnings and in our own our own life. And so
as we're sharing different pieces of advice, uh, we're sharing
from that lens. And so obviously it's gonna be stewed
(03:25):
in a certain direction. Obviously because what we believe in
faith wise, that's gonna push our thoughts in a certain direction.
Then what we each three have been through separately is
going to push this in a certain direction. As well,
and so we do want to encourage you to listen
to it through the lens of how this applies to
you in your own context, right, because this isn't gonna
apply perfectly to everyone. This is not like a blanket
blanket formula for your life. This is just hopefully so
(03:48):
you can hear conversations and have people work through problems
and stuff like that in a in a reasonably fun
but healthy, deep way. So the prompt which so for
today's episode that apparent only according to Chat, it's gonna
ruffle some more feathers. No, I I think it's a
good piggyback off of that original episode. How can you
start working towards your dream job? And the reason I
(04:09):
say it's a piggyback off of it is because if
your dream job requires you to go to college, that's
one way you can start working towards going to it.
But if it doesn't require that, then you don't have to.
And I don't want to make this whole topic about
the whole college situation, but I just wanted to share
that a lot of our heart on that episode was
if you have a dream, what what is it really
(04:30):
require to get there? Right? Or are we just going
through the motions of what people tell us that we
need to do. Yeah, it's so important to acknowledge. Like
if you know what your dream job is, you're already
so far ahead. That's actually if you're thinking like, yeah,
my dream job is this, and like come on, man,
that's dope. Like now you know that you have some
(04:50):
way to work towards. It's about working out those baby steps.
And I think something that I've learned from my dream
job whatever that maybe I'm still working it out. See
I'm good examples. But like for me, I didn't know
the baby steps are making content or making music. I
didn't know those baby steps. So what I did was
surround myself with people who were doing that. And I
(05:11):
think that's probably like one of the first things I
recommend if you know what your dream job is, just
like start on the ground floor. If it's about working
for Apple or a company or Facebook, where wherever you
want to work, just get on the ground floor, you know,
like sweep. I don't that sounds crazy, but like just
get into the building because now you're surrounded by the
people that are actually doing what you say is your
dream job. If it's creating then surround yourself with creators.
(05:34):
I don't know, I just think that's such a good
practical first way to kind of step towards that surrounding
yourself by people and then additionally is like refining your craft.
Are the tools that you need to accomplish whatever that
dream job is, like, if you want to become I
don't know, the best I was looking at us acts
(05:56):
so the best music producer in the world, you know,
the most accomplished music producer. You're not gonna get there
by only sitting in writing rooms and producing sessions. You
need to also be producing yourself. You can't just be
sitting there picking piggybacking off of other people. Having those
connections and being surrounded by people and being able to
(06:16):
engage in those conversations and getting more knowledge from that
type of community that you're surrounding yourself by. It's very
important for for multiple reasons, motivation to stay motivated from
just interacting with those kinds of people, um, learning new
things from those people and you know, all the things
(06:37):
that you get from like that kind of community setting.
But also you need to be refining on a daily
basis the craft that you that that you need to
achieve the dream job. I think that's what I struggle
with the most, is actually working on the things that
are the most important towards the dream job. I'm and
I hope you don't mind if I just kind of
(06:57):
speak candidly from like you know, about myself. It sounds
so weird because I'm kind of not afraid to say
this to myself, but when you say it online, it
just feels funny. It feels very um like a lot.
But I feel very confident because soon tier that his
headphones almost came off. Did you see that if you're
(07:18):
watching on YouTube? Just saw what we just saw. So
that that means he has to keep it in. That's
why I said that he has to keep it in
the in the episode. But um, I feel pretty confident
in my ability to to meet people, network and learn. Um.
And I also feel pretty confident in my ability to
like unpack what it is you actually need, which is
almost like you know, like reverse engineering. Right, where so
(07:41):
if you have a dream to be a music producer, well, okay,
meet one of those people and find out what you
need to do, and then work your way backwards to
where you are right and then find the goal and
reverse engineering steps together, and so I feel pretty confident
doing that, but when it comes to actually practicing the craft,
that's what I probably struggle with the most. That's so
funny because I'm the exact opposite. I can find the
motivation to every day hunker down and focus and refine
(08:03):
my thing, but I'm just so bad at networking because
it may been like me being jaded in l a
from like the way that world networks. I just got
especially like in the YouTube space and stuff. I think
I just got so turned off by it, not even
like burnt, but just like turned off by it because
there's you know, some people are fake and this and
(08:24):
that you don't know like if people are genuine and
relationships that they like people are using each other for
their own careers rather rather than like actual friendship and
community and stuff. And um, I just like kind of
stopped the networking because I was like wanting to protect myself,
I guess in a way. And I don't know, I
just realized now, like no, that's actually networking. Isn't this
(08:47):
like bad thing, Like it's actually really important and you
need to approach your understanding like this is at least
my head headspace now on the whole networking things, like
I need to go in understanding because the other person
also understands in this work relationship that it is a
work relationship. And like if we become good friends and
(09:08):
if we click and bond or whatever and something great
comes out of it, awesome, we're gonna be tight homies
and we work in the same industry even better. But
a work relationship is a work relationship, and that's you know,
that first agreement, that first like non verbal contract that
you create through like that networking experience, and it's something
(09:29):
that I'm I'm learning now to be more comfortable with
and understand and something that I'm like trying to I
don't know, like get my toes into more, because that's
the part that I'm really bad at where I can
sit back every day and be like, I'm gonna refine
my craft. I'm gonna but whatever the thing is, like
practice of music or editing or I don't know, videography,
(09:52):
all the random things that I've decided to try and tackle.
So out of there's like three kind of tip sack.
Where do you think you fall in those? Like I guess,
I guess the third I think the first one is
like deconstructing what actually needs to be done to work
towards your dream. The second one would be the networking,
the third would be refining your craft. Right is that
(10:13):
kind of you know? Yeah? You know me and try
to because because I wrote down like the community and
then the craft was like was the first one networking
or the third one? Yeah? I mean, I feel like
I'm very much in the learning phase. And actually a
big thing that I've learned over this last month or
so is that you should never leave the learning phase.
That you should always be pursuing getting better at your craft.
(10:36):
You should always pursue wanting to improve a skill set,
even if it's not like a direct linked skill set.
For example. You know, um, so you become a like
the cleaner at Disney, which is how isn't that how
did Bob I get in? He was a cleaner? Do
you guys know Bobiga? Yeah? Yeah, um so I'm pretty
sure he was did a clean at ABC. Yeah so
(10:58):
ABC and then ABC got bored out. Um, and so
I'm sure he was a great cleaner. I know that
sounds really weird, but I'm sure that he invested energy
into being the best kind of thing. He can be
in that space at that time, and so even if
it feels safe, for example, music production is a great example.
Those of you who don't know what I Bob Iger
was he is or did he step down from the
(11:20):
CEO of Disney, He's still is? No, I think he's
still see your right, Okay, Okay? I like I felt
like I heard something like a year ago that he
stepped down or something, but that might have been really no,
I thought he was still at the top. Anyway, it
doesn't matter Ceo of Disney from being a cleaner at ABC.
That's the moral of the story, totally, Like yeah, yeah,
(11:41):
And I just think like it's it's easy for like
me to say that, right, Like it's really easy if
you're listening to this see like sweet Zach. But there's
like a billion steps in between. And I think that's
that kind of the place that I mean is like
I just need to be learning and keep learning, get
better at the craft whatever it may be. Maybe it's talking.
You know, we talked about confidence in the last episode,
and it's like, you know, you guys made it really
(12:01):
clear that you've just got to keep doing it. You
just have to keep doing it, and I think that
paired with patients, but it's like the hardest combination, like
I need to learn more while also being patient. Like
it's it's just such a rough combination. So like, yeah,
that's kind of where I'm at right now, is that
and being okay in that place. And I think truly,
if it is your dream job, that won't matter, you know,
(12:24):
like if you if you've really committed to that being
maybe you feel it's purposeful, it won't matter that you
have to be patient. And that's where I am right now.
I feel like I've found something that I'm like, you
know what, this doesn't happen, it doesn't need to happen tomorrow.
I'm really okay with that. I'm just loving the process.
And so I think that's how you can truly, I mean,
I know that's not what the problem. The problem wasn't
(12:45):
how do I find my dream job? But definitely part
of that is like, hey, if you're okay to put
in the time and the energy and meet the people
and surround yourself with these people, then you'll probably be
in a pretty good way. I think that's that aligns
really well with a book that we're reading right now,
which is the YouTube formula. Zach and I are both
(13:06):
going through it. My voice crack so shout out, but
um I he talks about something really good there, which
it's funny because I, I like kind of went through it,
but I didn't really go through it on YouTube specifically.
Let me explain. He talks about, if you want to
become a YouTuber, you need to start out. I'm making
(13:28):
videos in just set a goal to make one hundred
YouTube videos and you're going to He's like, you're going
to get nowhere by making one d YouTube videos, but
you need to do it. I love it. Zach and
I looked at each other and we're like, yes, But
now I say the reason why Yeah, But the reason
(13:48):
why I say that I never went through it is
because I didn't experience that on YouTube. I like kind
of had success right away on YouTube, but that was
because I built my vine following. On vine, I did
posted videos. Literally, it was probably a vine every day
for a year, every day for six months, and I
(14:10):
finally got to ten thousand followers and then and you
were able to grow quicker back then, So that's kind
of like a shortened timeline still, but it was like
an everyday and YouTube videos are obviously longer and stuff
like that. But I was posting every single day to
try and make this thing happen. And I see what
Zach is doing it on YouTube. He's doing the hustle.
And you, dude, we're tracking Jess and I are looking
(14:33):
at your channel, watching your videos, tracking your growth because
you just have this dream. And what's what's so funny
is like YouTube specifically, and I don't know if this
applies to like other jobs, but even starting out, you
are doing your dream job from the beginning, but it's
(14:54):
not actually the dream that you have, because your dream
job is doing YouTube with the huge amount of success
that comes with hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers
and stuff like that. Like, you're still doing your dream
job with zero subscribers on YouTube, but you're not doing
(15:15):
it with a level of success that you want. So
is is it really your dream job before you dive
into doing it or are you just doing it for
the novelty or the success or whatever it may be.
You know, I love talking to people. I love talking.
I'm sorry, I'm confident. It's confident. It's it's something that
(15:38):
Tory and I talked to people a lot about like so,
so we'll see messages or comments like how do you
start a podcast? Or how do you start a YouTube channel?
All this stuff or or people say, oh, I want
to do that, blah blah blah. And I always asked him, like,
why do you want to do it? Because if you
want to do it and be famous, it's gonna be
it's gonna be a hard road. It's gonna be a
really hard, long road. But if you want to do
(15:59):
it because you want to either entertain or encourage someone
with whatever it is you create, that means if you
get one view, mission accomplished, right and so, But people
start to attach all these really harsh, I don't want
to say, unrealistic but hard expectations to their dream job,
where I need to be growing by this much, I
(16:19):
need to be here by this time, and then I'm
actualizing my dreams. So I love what you're saying. Are
you willing to do it if you don't have any
success in it? You know, is it still your dream? Then?
You know, it's a really important question that you just
brought up. But the way to get the success is
to do it without the success. At the beginning, That's
what I'm saying. And those things aren't bad, you know
what I mean, like tracking and having these goals and
(16:41):
like kind of tracking your progress and getting that, but
having like like if you don't reach those certain milestones
or goals and you follow a little short of whatever
these these goals are that you're setting for yourself, is
that affecting your happiness and destroying your personal I don't
(17:02):
know happiness, I guess. And how much of your happiness
is fully tinggent on that single like gold or these
milestones or whatever. I love that because what it sounds
like what you're saying is is how much of your
dream job is contingent on the success of it or
the action of it? You know, because whenever someone has
(17:24):
a dream, there's an action happening. It's not just like,
you know, like just enjoying it. You're living it in
a dream, there's a there's an action actually happening. And
so for us, are we are are we enjoying the
action of our dream or do we only want the
benefits that come along with the dream, you know, with
no nightmares involved. It's kind of interesting. It's yeah, it's
(17:45):
interesting as well because I think even by answering this
question like what my what who I am? Because I'm
working my dream job? Why is that what I'm working for?
Let me try and phrase it a different way, like
is my dream job more important than my habits daily?
Does that make sense? Like my obsession of what I
could be the person that I could be? How I
(18:08):
think that's a trap when we start obsessing about what
we could be in the dream drub you can have.
It's so important to have goals, like, don't get me wrong,
Like if you flip and want to be a software
developer at Google, then let's go that's dope. But that obsession,
if is that stopping you from the habits daily that
are actually going to get you there, like educating yourself more,
like connecting with people more. Is that going to stop
(18:29):
you from doing that? Because if so, you need to
just stop thinking about the process. Dude, you need to
just stop. Dude. Let that is so great because I
find myself in that trap a lot if I start.
I have a pretty obsessive personality. So when I find
something that I want and have a goal that join
the club, baby, and I have this goal that I want,
right and I and I can visualize the goal. I
(18:51):
can see where I want to go, and I'm like,
that's where I want to go. I can spend so
much of my time hyper focused looking way down the
road or at the billboard or whatever it is that
you're looking at way down the line and just sitting
online watching videos of what it would be, Like, what
is it going to be like when I get there?
(19:11):
How will life be different? You know what I mean?
Like looking at all this stuff and it's like, wait, wait,
If you actually want to get there, having that as
a goal is great, but you need to be spending
your time working on the steps that are right in
front of you. Like if you're not, if you're not
strategizing your your next step and your step after that,
(19:32):
how the heck are do you think you're gonna make
it the whole marathon? You know what I mean? You
need to be focused on the things that are right
in front of you day to day. Like you're saying, yeah, practicing,
refining your craft every day, whatever the thing is. And
I don't know, you said, like the software engineer, I
don't know what they do. I don't code, but like
I don't know, coding every day and practicing that every day,
(19:54):
refining your craft, building some amazing things to get you
to that point you're doing the networking, reaching out to
one new person. I heard this story and I forget
where it's from. I think it was from a book,
And it was this guy who became like the best
salesman in this certain company. He was like all the
greatest salesman of all time. And what he attributed it
(20:16):
to was this one habit that he did. He wasn't
focused on becoming the greatest salesman of all time and
getting upset when he didn't reach employee of the Month
that month or whatever. His focus was this cup that
he had that he had full of one hundred paper clips,
and he had another cup next to it that was empty.
And his goal every day was by the end of
(20:38):
the day, every time he made a sales call, he
took one paper clip from the full cup and put
it into the empty cup, made another sales call, put
it in the full cup, into the empty cup until
it was empty. The next day, did it again, the
next day, did it again next day. And because he
did that same thing every single day, over and over repetition,
he became this uber successful sales man yeah, And I
(21:01):
wish I could give credit to whatever book it was,
but I forget was it essentialism? It could have it
could have been, Yeah, because you're nodding like you heard
it and it was. I think it was Essentialism. Yeah, yeah,
I've I definitely heard it. Yeah, I definitely heard that forward, dude.
I mean, it reminds me of um, this Casey Nisa
quote where he says, overthinking the process will kill any
career in the creative space. You just have to do,
(21:24):
not think. And it's like the task that that guy
had in place was moving a paper clip. He made
it a very trivial, small task instead of being like,
I'm nervous about making this phone call right now, I
wonder what the person on the other side is going
to say about it and the anxieties that come with that.
And it's exactly the same. I'm sure you guys get
it with you know, we can only obviously speak from
(21:44):
a creative place, but like making videos all the time,
it's like the last thing, the last thing to do
to yourself is get anxious about what the video is about.
It's still better just to make the video and work
it out from there. And and so yeah, man, I
just I'm I'm convicted right now, dude, legit. I was
filming videos today and I'm like, I need to just
(22:05):
film my video. I just need to do it. I
need to stop worrying. Like, is the content that I'm
reacting to good enough content for me to react to?
Will I be funny enough to like be okay in
this genre of YouTube that is, you know, typically really
comedic genre, Like all these things are running through my
head and I constantly have to tell myself, dude, shut
(22:29):
up freaking hit record and film your video, like you're fine,
just shut up and do your thing. Yeah, I really,
I really like what you guys are saying. It Really
it speaks a lot to me because I I love
how many books that you guys mentioned to me to
like check out and read, you know, like you guys
really encourage essentialism and tell my havocs and now the
(22:51):
YouTube YouTube formula and so all those interest me. But
I also have a pretty addictive personality, and I know
that in the past whenever I've tried to like micromanage
every single little piece of like Tory nine and what
we do, um, I I became like a robot and
I lost a piece myself where I actually have to
(23:15):
hold back myself from seeing some of those tips and
tricks because while they're great wisdom, they I feel like
there's so many things I'm doing wrong that I become inactive.
So I almost just kind of walk. I don't wanta
say blindly, but it's like the lights are dim. It's
almost like, you know, if you ever woke on the
middle the middle night, you don't want to wake up
your wife, and so you don't want to turn on
all the lights. You just kind of fumble your way
(23:36):
through a little bit. And I do a little bit
about I do a little bit of that in my
career just because it helps me to to not be
so like to try to be perfect right, I'm not
afraid to bump into a wall, and because I think
what's so important is you have to start where you are.
You know that every journey starts with one step. Every
(23:58):
every journey starts with one step, and you have to
take that step no matter how far the journey is.
And for me personally, if I can't see how far
the fridge is, I'll take another step, and then I'll
take another step, and then I'll take another step. But
if I do see how far it is and how
I need to read all these books and know all
these things, I might my personality, by the way, my
personality may talk myself out of it. I'm like, oh,
(24:20):
that's too much, you know, Oh I need uh what
kind of cameras that over there? It's how much did
that cost? It's okay, you can crab how much was it?
Oh gosh, just give us a ballpark with the lens
with the lens lens that lens. I invested in that lens, Dude,
(24:43):
that's the lens I've been using for like four years,
that lens. The thing the lens is like three thousand
or just shy of three, and the camera body is
like the camera bodyes like looking at Yeah, it's like
three pointing. Okay, so it's probably seven grand. Right. So
(25:05):
for me, I had wanted to start doing some type
of social media stuff for a while there, even whenever
in New York. I was looking at this stuff, but
I didn't think I had the right camera, you know,
and so I just had I was like, oh, I
need to get this camera that Casey Nesta has or whatever. Like, dude,
That's exactly what Zach was talking about, right is the
overthinking of the whole thing. Like that's why I'm so
(25:27):
happy that I was able to start on Fine because
I didn't the barrier to entry, Like you couldn't use
a nicer camera until people freaking hacked the app and
stuff and they were able to upload you know, high
quality stuff, but you couldn't use in it like I
had to use my phone, you know what I mean.
But then I ended up technically I could have stopped
(25:51):
myself in that moment because I had an Android, which
for anyone who was on Fine back in the day
knew that was crap quality. Any video we're uploading, the
audio is UNSYNCD and you had a total of two
pixels on screen. Like it was so bad. I was like,
I'm gonna do it anyway, Like I'm still gonna make
(26:11):
these videos and everything. And I was able to like
save money from doing that so consistently you can invest
in this. I invested in what was the iPhone five C,
the plastic colored ones, but you know, I invest in
the iPod Touch first because it was cheaper. Because I
couldn't afford an iPhone, so I filmed with the iPod
(26:32):
that I would carry both around, so I could film
with an iPod Touch and then find WiFi somewhere and
then upload it. And I loved it because you had
to start where you were. And it's the same thing
even if you know, no matter what your dream job is.
And of course we're speaking about creative fields. Of course
you know you do need to find those experts or
people that are doing what you're doing. I mean, honestly,
(26:53):
get on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is one of the most popping
social media sites out there. People just sleep on it.
It's so funny. I don't even have a LinkedIn profile,
and I'm like, should I have one? Because you're freaking
Chad Masters. Well, I had to. I had to start
one in college. Um but no, it's it's a great
way make you start one in your and we had to.
(27:14):
We had to connect with everybody. We had to. If
you look it up, I look like a total nerd,
but it's it's life. But my my point is you
can search a certain type of job, like a software engineer,
like what you're mentioning or whatever. You can find people,
message him and literally put yourself out there, be bold
and say hey, I'm interested in what you do. Would
(27:35):
you mind if I got your email just to ask
you a few questions are better, Yet, if you have time,
could I, if I live in the same area, could
I take you to a coffee? Or could I hop
on the phone call with you for fifteen minutes? I
just want to pick your brain. How did you get
to where you are? What did you have to do?
And start to walk backwards from there. Because I love
everything you guys are saying, because I feel like we
all have slightly different methods of like going after something,
(27:56):
but you always end up in the same area, right,
And and that should be encouraging to people who are listening,
is that there's not one set thing for you to do.
You have to figure out what works for you. You know,
it's a lot of those systems and processes that you
build refining. Yes, you you have to. There's one thing
(28:18):
that I've talked about. Remember when I talked about building
your ideal week. That was something that I built so
I can kind of create a process for myself of
what I wanted to see myself do within a week,
and then what didn't work I changed, and what worked
I kept and maybe even refined a little more. And
(28:40):
it's a constant flow of figuring out how you operate
and how just like getting the best tools in your
tool belt to get you to the place that you
want to go. Yeah. Absolutely. I know some people may
be listening and they're just not really sure what their
what their dream job is or how to figure that out.
And and I have two things. Number One, sometimes your
(29:03):
dream job kind of just unfold as time goes right,
because I was a full time model learning how to
do stuff on camera. And Tori was a social media
manager where she she managed small businesses social media. And
now when you put those combined with what we do
for work, it's kind of funny and it kind of
it kind of fell in our lap, like that's the
YouTube formula. But but more so than that, if you're
(29:26):
sitting down, um and listening to this podcast, UM, I
encourage you to draw a triangle and then work with
me just on this just for a quick only if
you're sitting down, Yeah, if you're standing, don't do if
you're laying in bed, don't do it. You're working now, Yeah,
I love It's like part and straight to jail, Straight
to jail. I love the guys like overcooked the chicken,
(29:50):
straight to jail. It was like undercook I. Um So,
if you look at the triangle and you look at
the bottom right verticey, you want to write all your
abilities right, everything that you're good at, Okay, and don't
be shy. This is just you write down everything that
you're good at, management skills, communication skills, a triangle triangle.
(30:12):
Then the bottom left verticy right your affinities, which is
what you're drawn to, what you're passionate about. I'm passionate
about helping people. I'm passionate about encouraging people. I'm passionate
about creating things. I'm passionate about food. Right, everything you're
passionate about. And then at the top center verticy you
know it's a triangle right, your opportunities. So where your
(30:33):
abilities get married to your affinities, those are your opportunities
because you're doing what you love with what you're good at,
and that's how you develop your dream job. Yo, what's up? Guys?
