Letting Go of Job Shame with Nick Cox - a podcast by Dan Cumberland: Career & Meaning Consultant, Speaker, Blogger

Nick Cox has done some deep work around calling and vocation in his life. I loved this interview because we were able to go places that many guests just aren't ready to go. Which is to say, you can tell Nick has done his work.

He's also a good friend and long time listener of the Meaning Movement and member of the Calling Course, so I've had the privilege of getting glimpses of his process along the way.

Nick's tired of the common narrative of quitting your day job and doing what you love as the primary way to purpose and meaning, which is why we decided to do this interview. He's representative of a demographic that I tend to miss with my guests, those who are taking a less entrepreneurial path.

This conversation goes from discussing the high level philosophy of calling to deep into Nick's story pretty quickly. Spoiler alert, it gets a bit emotional at some points.

But I also think this is one of the most important conversations that I've had the opportunity to share on the podcast, simply because of who Nick is and the perspective that he brings to the conversation. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did speaking with him. It's a powerful conversation. And if you find it impactful, I'd love for you to share it with anyone who may benefit.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • What Nick does
  • His process of letting go of his hopes and dreams
  • How he thinks about transitions
  • His process to let his job be "enough"
  • What is his thought are about the four P’s
  • The struggles he’s been through along the way
  • The legacy he wants to leave
  • His advice for those who feel stuck
