    ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory   In this "Lessons" episode, Guy Kawasaki, former Apple Chief Evangelist and bestselling author, challenges one of the most common pieces of career advice: "follow your passion." Instead, he explains why pursuing your interests, experimenting with new opportunities, and staying open to unexpected paths are far more effective ways to discover meaningful work. Drawing from his own journey, from launching the Macintosh to becoming an author and podcaster, Guy shares why purpose isn't something you find overnight, how he redefines the concept of ikigai, and the simple test that reveals when you've found work that's truly worth committing to, even when it isn't driven by money or immediate success. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/I-eAutH_ojo  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/guy-kawasaki-chief-evangelist-at-canva-are-you-a/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1UshQD7EfXOAtMKF6iedl5  ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
