Creating Your Path, Pursuing Dual Careers, Meeting Oprah, and Making Belief with Calvin Nowell

The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.

So many of us have multiple passions that compete for time, attention, and resources — especially when it comes to our careers and work. So often we feel the need to choose one thing and leave behind all the rest in order to excel and succeed. But what if you don't actually have to choose? What if you can be successful at more than one pursuit at that same time? This is a question I often ask myself. If you've listened to the show for some time, you'll know that's true about me. Culture tends to push us toward the myth that we can only do one thing to be successful. And while there is a trade off involved in multiple pursuits, there's also a synergy that can be present between projects. Our guest today demonstrates that well. Calvin Nowell is both a singer and marketer. He pursues both in tandem as two parellel careers. We get into his story, why he does what he does, how he got to meet Oprah, and so many other fantastic things. So let's dive into it.
