Curious Curmudgeons Episode 1: From Grunt Tasks to Dream Jobs

Ever wondered how a job can be more than just a paycheck, or pondered the spiritual significance behind the daily grind? Join Adam Read and me as we consider career paths, job satisfaction, and the deeper meaning of work. This inaugural episode begins with brooms in hand as church custodians and moves on to explore the catalysts that prompt career changes, whether it’s financial provision, pursuit of growth, or the alignment of personal ethics with professional endeavors.

Debating the dignity of all work, from factory floors to executive suites, Adam and I discuss how even the most repetitive tasks can be a form of worship and a calling. We tackle (i.e. mercilessly kick around) the oft-quoted advice of chasing a passion-fueled career , diving into the reality that even the most beloved work comes with its trials and tribulations.

And we top things off with some levity and grumpiness discussing career what-ifs and the drudgery of digital communication., Listen in.
