I love playing sports. not watching sports. I dont watch any sports. But I am an active, high energy person. Well, I ended up with a desk job pushing numbers around, I put the same passion and dedication to my job i do when I play sports. I love what i do!

[allisonhallman]

This advice is SPOT ON. The true percentage of people who follow their passions is very small. Most people don’t have the option of taking the time to actually find their passion and end up in a position that is a good fit for their skills.

hey cass! i had my first job interview and beforehand i watched a ton of your videos so i could prepare myself. i decided to come to your most recent video and let you know it went really well and i got the job!!! i start on my birthday, wednesday the 20th!! thank you so much!

[mikegloudemans]

I thought the new movie "Soul" explores this idea beautifully

[kendalchen]

Coming to this a week late; found the channel while reeling from résumé anxiety. I wish more people understood the message of this video. I have some extremely niche skills but some that are transferable. I’ve subscribed and clicked the bell!

Love your videos!! Could you do like a LinkedIn crash course on all things technical, social and etiquette? Also would love a video on how to leave a job you have because of a better opportunity but not wanting to disappoint or lose touch with your past employers!

[ryanarceri]

Your videos have helped me through job interviews and my career progression. This is the most important content I have seen online.

[terrysayer]

I would like to say a huge thank you for all your advice and brilliant videos, I used everything in your videos. I got the job I wanted and at the top salary advertised with a large bonus. I cant say thank you enough.

[emreinsel]

Thanks for the great video and great advice. I will be sharing it with anyone going through a career questioning phase. 👏👏

[jenhandycrafts]

so that's why sometimes i was really excited of something i want to do but doing it multiple times is not enjoyable anymore for making orders for customers.. i find my hobby as a hobby only not for making money my passion is not a job... but i'm still figuring out what really fits for me to a passion/ for a living...

[Zcuentas]

It does make sense, thank you for the advice.

[nataliebradvica]

Hi Cass, I just had to comment and say thank you so much for making content that is straightforward, insightful and reliable! I had been studying your videos religiously over the past few months and I’m so happy to share that I got my first full-time job in my dream company. Thank you so much for your guidance!

[patriciasantiago]

Amazing! That´s all make sense!! After watching this video, I have some insights now :) Thank you.

[tippysgrammy]

Hope you're feeling much better. 🦋🌷

[wallflowercommenter]

Thank you for sharing! I have a two hour interview today and I’m trying to calm down and be confident

[lorelaim]

If I have to do the thing I love as a job that is the number 1 way to make sure I won't love it anymore

[LenaAbel]

Thank you so much for your advice. I recently just got my first job!!

[emerald_mtn]

I love this! I was hooked when you said "is total crap" 🤣

[riokd]

Great vid! What’s your recommendation on getting into the ‘right company’ for the ‘wrong job’ - with hopes to pivot within that company?

[cherylcuttineau]

"Total crap!" LOL--keeping it real!
