Summary

Across the board, people tend to be terrible at answering the question “What do I want to do with my life?” Dave Evans, a coauthor of Designing Your Life, is one of the two masterminds behind the popular Stanford program that teaches students how to figure this out. With Bill Burnett, he’s created a playbook that anyone can follow to design a life that’s meaningful to them. Evans reminds us that there isn’t one best version of our life—there are a lot of good versions. He shows us how to prototype and pick from these different realities, and he convinces us not to bother with predictions. He tells us why the current career model is broken, why we sometimes get stuck in jobs we don’t like, and how we can more effectively navigate the hiring process. Get curious, talk to people, try stuff, tell your story, Evans says. And whatever you do: Start where you are. (For more, check out The goop Podcast hub.)

0:00.0	Hi and welcome to the Goop podcast. I'm Elise Loonon, the Chief Content Officer here at Goop.
0:09.4	If you've ever wondered what you're supposed to be doing with your life,
0:12.0	I think you're going to appreciate today's conversation. First though,
0:15.6	a little appreciation for the team at Flow who are bringing you this chat.
0:24.5	My unofficial New Year's resolution was to drink more water.
0:28.4	Six months later, I'm pretty proud to say that I've been sticking to it,
0:32.2	and it's gotten easier since Goop teamed up with Flow. Flow is naturally alkaline spring water.
0:38.4	It's packaged in sustainable paperboard packaging with a plant-based cap.
0:42.9	It contains more healthy minerals than most bottled water,
0:46.0	and it comes in organic flavors like cucumber mint and blackberry hibiscus.
0:50.8	The flavors are made without the sugar, artificial sweeteners, calories, and GMOs
0:55.8	that are unfortunately found in a lot of other grab-and-go options.

1:23.8	intention of real truth for you, and then let it go.
1:28.1	For me, our soul is like it's unbound, it's limitless, but we will use words to limit ourselves.
1:35.4	When people stop believing that somebody's got your back or Superman's coming,
1:41.4	we turn to ourselves, and that's where you become empowered.
1:45.2	Courageous participation attracts positive things.
1:50.4	I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. This is the Goop podcast, bringing together thought leaders,
1:56.1	culture changers, creatives, founders and CEOs, scientists, doctors, healers, and seekers.
