92,000 Hours Podcast

92,120. That is the number of hours the average human spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our jobs means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in our offices, at our job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back.

But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? 

In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work (or school or community). Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.
