So many people have this struggle within them between the story that they think that they should tell and the story that they want to tell. And I think a lot of the work I've done about work now in the last few years is about get off the should train and get on the want train. The challenge is we are not trained to identify the want train. We are trained to identify the should train, what we

should do. And it's very, very hard for people to say, this is the story that I want to tell.

Hey, I am Casey Weed and it is my mission to deliver clarity and purpose and elevate meaning in your life. And if you're new to the show, I want you to know exactly how we accomplish that.

We don't just talk about those boring financial concepts here on the podcast, IRAs, 401Ks, tax diversification. Now we do hit on a lot of those important

topics, but we also like to take a look at the non-financial aspects of life and retirement

and integrate those two pinnacle elements of our lives. And we do that through conversations

with world-class guests, as well as getting together with you in short form every single week on Fridays to discuss trending topics.

Today, we are welcoming a guest back to the show.

We have Bruce Filer here with us, and he is the author of seven New York Times bestselling books.

That's right, seven New York Times bestsellers.

He is also the speaker for three TED Talks viewed more than four million times.

He teaches the Webby Award-winning TED course, how to master life's transitions, which we discussed quite at length during our last conversation.

He is also a longtime columnist for the New York Times.

And back in episode number 267, that was three years ago, we discussed how to navigate life transitions and master change at any age.

One of our most downloaded podcast episodes, I encourage you to go back,

check out that conversation where we explored strategies for growing through periods of upheaval

and unrest to live an intentional, happy life. Now, three years later, I'm ecstatic to have Bruce

return to discuss his most recent book, The Search,

Finding Meaningful Work in a Post-Career World. We're going to explore what it means to pursue

meaningful work, how to navigate a workquake. Last time we talked about lifequakes,

now we're going to be talking about workquakes and what it means to do a meaning audit. I'm really excited to get to that.

So we're going to be walking through the meaning audit process here later in the show.
