Welcome to Do This Not That, the podcast for marketers.

Each episode is packed with quick tips.

They're super short, and at the end, we have some fun.

Let's jump into it, and thanks for being here.

We are back for Do This, Not That podcast, presented by Marigold.

And usually I do these episodes where I rattle off.

Here's something you put in your subject line.

Here's a new way to get people to react to your social media post.

But I want to talk about something a little bit different today,

because it's been coming up a lot on different calls and Zooms I've been having,

which is this idea of loving your job. Let me just cut to the chase and then I'll get into the details.

I do not love my job. And by the way, that is more than okay. Why am I talking about this?

Why does this matter? Because I think we've all been taken down a weird path with we're supposed to love our jobs.

And it came up because I was on a bunch of calls this week.

And on all these calls, at some point, somebody said, your job looks like so much fun.

You look like you're always having the best time.

I bet you love your job.

I wish I could have the job that you have

because you look like you really love it. And I don't know what to do because I don't love

what I do. And I'm trying to figure out how to love something the way that you do. And this is all

coming from this nonsense that's out there, okay, that we're all supposed to love our jobs.

Now listen, if you do love your job, okay, and genuinely you wake up and be like, I love my job, amazing, great.
