So Good They Can't Ignore You (Cal Newport) with Content Strategist Ameer Alba

Welcome to the Books Made Me Do It podcast! 🎉

“If you want to love what you do, abandon the passion mindset (“what can the world offer me?”) and instead adopt the craftsman mindset (“what can I offer the world?”).” - So Good They Can't Ignore You

In today’s episode, Catherine is meeting with Ameer Alba (@ameeralba), CMO of Le Tribe Media, to discuss the book "So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love" written by Cal Newport.

This disruptive book challenges the long-held wisdom of “follow your passion” and uncovers a better alternative, which relies on adopting the "craftsman mindset" and deliberately practicing on becoming so good they can’t ignore you.

The author introduces the idea that passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent and highly skilled at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.
