Summary

My guest today is Taylor Pearson, the author of the #1 Amazon best selling book The End of Jobs. Pearson has spent the last several years researching and traveling the world and talking to successful entrepreneurs, which inspired him to write the book.

The topic is his book The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

How entrepreneurship is becoming safer than jobs
Why college degrees are getting more expensive and less valuable
The importance of relationships and your network in business
Why the occupy movement was flawed from the start
Not seeking permission to do something you want to do
How the perceptions of risk in our society are wrong
Choosing a path in life that has meaning to you
