92,000 Hours

92,000 Hours

92,000. That is the number of hours the average person spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our work means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in offices and job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back. But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work, school, or community. Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.

We’ve done a lot of work – and accomplished a lot of growth – together on this season of 92,000 Hours.

We learned what we value. We learned how to prioritize. We learned how to have the courage to walk a different path.

 

In this week’s episode, we call on you to say yes to the thoughts and behaviors that serve you in your life – and to leave behind what isn’t working for you.

What do you say yes to in 2024? We’d love to hear from ...

“I believe human connection is the most powerful engine in the universe.”

At some point, we’ll all dream of doing something unexpected. It could be moving to a different city, choosing a different job, marrying someone that surprises your family, or choosing to get a divorce. But only some of us actually take the leap to do it.

And in our experience, the greatest rewards are right on the other side of the path-less-traveled.
