Same here with my school career advisors. Plus, in 1974 when I graduated from High School, the fields in which I'm now engaged weren't yet invented! Well said, Chris.

Glad the presenter highlighted that you shouldn't necessarily do just what "you're good at"...that advice nearly sent me on a career path I wouldn't have been happy in. Besides, after reading a book called "Talent is Overrated" my view on getting good at stuff has completely changed! And the distinction of doing what people will pay you to do as opposed to just blindly doing what you love is a great one too. Wish my careers advisor at school had given me this sort of information all those years ago!! Cheers, Chris Enjoyed that!!

I really resonated with the first two "courageous followers" .. they added the fuel to the little flame of fun so it could burst into a dancing movement. We dance through life, and many of us forget how to play. Sweet. What a simple and fantastic example of how people respond when they see someone doing something different.

I loved what he said about his work. He said he doesn't work, he plays all day. Now, that's the kind of work I wanta do. Play all day, bringing unique quality to folks and educating them about how delightful the quality choice can be. I love that he is choosing glass bottles, companies that still craft with integrity and care, refusing to cave in to cola conglomerates, etc. Love this fella. Great example of how business can be elevated to an artform and a mission of service. What a delightful person. I loved what he said about his work. He said he doesn’t work, he plays all day.
