More than Work is a weekly podcast that shares stories of individuals who have found that their self-worth is determined by more than their job title whether they are pursuing their passions outside of work or finding ways to create opportunities to do work that reflects their values. The lesson: life is More Than Work.
Maybe you’ll be inspired to finally try that thing, whatever it is!
More Than Work is hosted by this site’s creator, me, Rabiah Coon. Years ago, before everyone had a podcast, I was a music podcaster for Piratepods.com! I’m excited to bring this to listeners.
In the first episode, I talk more about why I decided on this project. > Listen
