EP-43 Enjoying Life While Trying to Find Your Purpose

Discovering your purpose or passion is not always easy. For some, it's better to evaluate and live your life in shorter increments instead of trying to find that ultimate occupation or career. There is no need to rush into any career/job opportunity and it's probably better to set goals that are in short bursts of 2-3 years at a time. Kat and Robert discuss how they have done this and provide some tips for you.
