People never find their 'thing' (their calling) because there's no good way to get exposure to different careers — we need a 'take your roommate to work day' to broaden what's on the menu.

49:12up and get out get back to our day day daily life. By the way, if you like these episodes in the comments on Spotify, on YouTube, tell us. I'm going to read all of them after this. Uh, we'll do more because I have to kind of, as you can see, coers Sam into doing these episodes. So, I need I need some ammo to back me up when you're doing

49:30these. >> I gave great commentary. >> You did. You did. You did. In fact, I might have you just pitch this idea. I'm going to give you the name. You got to pitch it like debate club. Ready? Take your roommate to work day. [laughter] Go ahead. You have 10 seconds to think. >> Well, uh, you are 22. Your roommate works at home. It just faps all day. And

49:55you decide to get him out of the house and you want to bring him to, uh, learn how to be an accountant. [laughter] It sells itself. Something like that. So, you know, I was thinking about this because sometimes we get asked for advice. God knows why. And uh and one of the things I consistently see is that there are smart, hardworking people that just never find their thing. In fact, if

50:19I look at like a lot of my friends from high school or from college, much smarter than me, much more like hardworking and kind of fidious, they'll they'll stick with things. They're they're consistent. They have all the elements you need to be really really successful. But I feel like when you if you never find your thing, you'll never find out what you're made of, right? You'll never get to your 100% of what

50:39you can do. So I think although I'm not particularly intelligent or hardworking, I did find my thing. And in finding my thing, I got out whatever juice I had and my fruit got squeezed out. And I only got there through happen stance, through luck. I stumbled into I met the right person at the right time at the right conversation, got the right exposure, tried the right thing, and I

51:00stumbled and bumbled into it. I think people don't really there's not really great ways. There's no food courts for your career. There's not great ways to go even find out what are my options, what's on the menu, what's possible. And so I kind of think if the world had a take your roommate to work day where you could kind of go see what life is like at somebody else's job for the day, it

51:20would just broaden the exposure of what you even see. And you might like get inspired. You might realize like, damn, the place I work is crappy. I need to get like this is my roommate. They're not like, why do they deserve to have such a better environment? I need to upgrade. So it might just cause you to raise your standards. It might cause you to have new ideas, to discover a new

51:39industry, to discover what a new role is like. So, I think people don't really have good ways to get exposure to different career paths to ever find their thing. And instead, they're just asked the question, "What do you really love? What's your passion?" And it's like asking my, you know, four-year-old, "What's your favorite food?" And he's just only eaten cheese pizza and mac and cheese. Like, you know, he doesn't
