Stop Trying to Find Your Passion. Find Your 'I Could Do This for Free' Instead.

If one more person tells me to follow my passion, I'm gonna scream into a pillow. Passion is a feeling, and feelings change. I'm passionate about my bed at 6am — that's not a career. The advice that actually changed how I built Rich Out Loud was a meaner question: what would I do for free, even if nobody clapped? That's not passion. That's alignment. And alignment is what builds a career that doesn't quit on you.
