Narratives, Work & What Matters - Ben Hunt
07/06/21 • 55 min
Ben Hunt is a father, husband, former academic, author turned blogger, former hedge fund analyst, investment advisor, and farmer.
And he’s also my podcast guest in this episode.
His writing has been an inspiration to me as I try to carve my own path after leaving what he calls “Team Elite.” His philosophy of make, protect, teach focuses on local and bottom-up change in the world. In addition, we also discuss:
- How losing his father changed his relationship with time
- Industrially necessary scripts and "the good egg"
- Why writing about work elicits strange responses
- How he thinks about narratives and politics related to work

Money Fears, Self-Employment & Living Abroad With Kids - Jenni & Lisa Dazols
Jenni and Lisa Dazols read an essay six years ago which made them question their frantic & busy lifestyle. They could barely take care of their dog. They decided to take a break from a work. We dove into their story of deciding to move abroad, taking a sabbatical, having kids, moving to Taiwan, launching a passion project, coaching people on their money fears, and what they've learned along the way.
They run a business called Modern Family Finance and help people think about finances in a way that lets them live the life they want to live. They also run a charity bike ride in Taiwan supporting LGBTQ rights called Rainbow Ride.

Burnout & "Living At Work" In 2020 - Natalie Rachel
Natalie Rachel went through her own experience with burnout before turning to help others. She found that "with burnout, rest doesn't touch it," you need a deeper strategy. We compare notes on our own journeys where we were surprised by burnout. We thought it was something that resulted from working long hours. Natalie says a better way to think about it is as "self-neglect of reflection."
