What an awesome and incredibly important discussion I have for you today! It’s my long-awaited sit-down with none other than Marcus Buckingham.
I first got the chance to hear Marcus speak fifteen, or maybe, twenty years ago at the annual Global Leadership Summit in Chicago. Marcus was captivating AND inspiring that day.
His new book is fantastic! And, the good news for you is, it officially releases TODAY! It’s called Love + Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life.
So, say you’ve long been told to “Do what you love.” Sounds simple, but the real challenge is how to do this in a world not set up to help you.
Most of us actually don’t know the real truth of what we love—what engages us and makes us thrive—and our workplaces, jobs, schools, even our parents, are focused instead on making us conform.
Sadly, no person or system is dedicated to discovering the crucial intersection between what you love to do and how you contribute it to others.
But Marcus shows you how to break free from this conformity—how to decode your own loves, turn them into their most powerful expression, and do the same for those you lead and those you love.
I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Marcus and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

- How the key to finding what you love might be right under your nose
- The “you-ness” that you’re born with, and how it’s not caused by our experiences growing up
- What a healthy career really looks like
- And lots more!
