Are you thinking, “If I follow my passion the money will just come!”

And is it really possible to connect your life purpose to the way you earn a living?

This week, Clay Collins is on the show to talk about how YOU can live your mission AND pay the bills.

So many guys make the sickening choice between following what they truly love and sticking with a job just to pay the bills. It’s a tragic “either/or” scenario. Clay Collins has made it his mission to teach men how to build their own business online so that they can care for their families and live a life in alignment with their deeper purpose.

Born in Ecuador, he followed his passion to California and into the arts and graphic design. A surfer from the age of twelve, he was also cultivating a love of the water.

Wolfgang has gone on to become a renown fine artist in the surf world and beyond, creating mesmerizing surf vistas.

He has just released a book showcasing his work and chronicling his journey.

How important is a man’s purpose in life when choosing a career?

This week we sit down with Marty Nemko, Career Editor for U.S. News and World Report and Kiplingers.com to get his unique perspective on careers and the popular stereotype of men.

Marty brings a no-nonsense approach to his career advice, but there is wisdom in his perspective. He tells us what the most rewarding careers have in common and what to look for when seeking that perfect job. He flips conventional wisdom on its head and looks at the truth behind the flashy careers like doctors and lawyers and why these may not be the best paths to a rewarding life.

Marty is also passionate about how men are seen in today’s western society. He argues that the portrayal of men as incompetent, aggressive, and powerless is not only inaccurate, but is having a harmful effect on the psyche of men and boys.
