Odds are you have an idea, an enterprise, a masterpiece planted deep inside you. But this desire remains dormant as long as you give in to the Resistance. In this episode, discover how to identify, engage, and overcome the Resistance.

Abandon the status quo and live a life that matters. The path to your life's work is both difficult and mysterious, which is why few finish the journey.

Though it is rare, such a life is attainable by anyone brave enough to try. Through personal experience, compelling stories, and current research on the mysteries of motivation and talent, Jeff shows us how to find our vocation and what to expect along the way.
