144: Practical tips for prioritizing your purpose over your passion with Amaan Nathoo

The topic for today’s show is one I have thought a lot about. It’s about having a bigger vision for your practice and building a business that isn’t just for income, but for doing MORE in the world. We sometimes refer to this idea as “social entrepreneurship,” which is about using your business profits to do more social good in the world. If you know me, then you know that I am on board with this concept!

My guest is Amaan Nathoo, from bonjoro.com, and we’re discussing “purpose over passion,” and why following your passion may NOT be the best advice. We’ll discuss what “purpose” is and talk about practical tips for prioritizing your purpose over your passion. Join us!

Hi. I'm Melvin. I'm a psychologist, girl dad, and online creator living in Philadelphia, PA.

In 2014, I began to think about how to use our therapist skillset in different realms besides clinical work (e.g., podcasting, consulting, online course creation, writing, etc).

This allows us to serve others on larger scales while diversifying our income beyond 1 to 1 work.

I make podcasts and videos about business, tech, productivity, and lessons I'm learning from becoming the CEO of a lean, mean 5 person 100% remote team (we're not really mean..it just rhymed =P).
