Bonus Episode - 'Hello Monday' with Jess...

Slate Podcasts
About this episode

This bonus episode features Charles's recent appearance on the podcast Hello Monday, where host Jessi Hempel discusses the relationship between work and meaning. Charles tells the story of his experience attending Harvard Business School and all that followed after. It turns out that a paycheck - even a fat one - doesn't buy a meaningful life. Charles and Jessi dig deep on the perks and pitfalls of business school, point up the importance of perseverance, outline the space between a job description and the job itself, and challenge listeners to make meaning in any job.

For more advice from Jessi Hempel, check out our previous episode 'How To Find a New Career Before it's Too Late.'
