I just started listening but this weeks on finding your dream job really hit home. 6 weeks ago I started my dream job, and at a party over the weekend I had a small group of strangers entranced by my story of how I got there. I didn't know it at the time but I employed many of the methods you used. Funnily enough, I left ESPN for a job in the wine industry - I'm way more passionate about Bordeaux than I ever was about baseball. About writing down goals - Weight Watchers uses this and it is definitely a key factor in success. I should know, I have kept off 45 lbs for the last 5 years using this. So even if the Yale study is apocryphal, you can know that someone else has verified the success of this method. Just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your podcast.
