372: Forget What They Say – Why You Should Unfollow Your Passion, with Terri Trespicio
As Severus Snape said to Harry Potter, “Clearly, fame isn’t everything.” Well, it may not be everything, but it’s something. A case in point is Mike’s guest this week—Terri Trespicio.
Terri Trespicio is an award-winning writer, speaker, brand advisor, and author of Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life that Matters to You (Atria/Simon & Schuster, December 2021). Her TEDx talk, “Stop Searching for Your Passion,” has surpassed 7 million views, and Hubspot named her one of the “Top 18 female speakers who are killing it.”
A former magazine editor and radio host at Martha Stewart, she has appeared on the Today show, The Early Show, The Martha Stewart Show, and The Anderson Cooper Show and featured in Oprah magazine, Marie Claire, Prevention, Business Insider, Forbes.com, and Inc.com. A top-rated speaker, she has also performed stand-up all over New York City.
