If you think you're in a career, but you hate it and you're bored and it's killing you,

quit it and just go get a job. That was Elizabeth Gilbert, a long time ago now, on one of our earliest episodes of Hello Monday.

And she had this lightning rod perspective on jobs and careers.

I mean, here I was launching a show about work.

She was the second guest ever that I had in the studio and brought her in and sat her down and she was like, yeah, careers. Not everyone needs one.

figured out this or that important lesson to share.

And over time, if you like me have been sitting in this chair, you realize that the same answer

seemed to come up to many of our most important questions.

And I feel it's fair to say that at this point we know a lot about work.

So this spring I'm bringing you a master class.
