Episode 2: The Real Reason You Hate Your Job (It’s Not What You Think)
Be honest—how many times have you fantasized about rage quitting your job? Walking out mid-meeting. Sending that ‘I quit’ email. Finally freeing yourself from the stress, the exhaustion, and the overwhelming ugh of doing work that drains you.
But here’s the thing… most people don’t actually hate their job. They hate feeling stuck. Undervalued. Like they’re wasting their potential and don’t know how to fix it.
So, if you’ve been daydreaming about quitting but have no clue what you’d do next—this episode is your wake-up call.
In today’s conversation, I’m breaking down:
✅ Why job-hopping won’t solve your frustration (and what will)
✅ The 3 biggest reasons people feel trapped in their careers
✅ How to figure out if it’s your job, your industry, or you that needs to change
✅ A simple Energy Audit exercise to help you find the real problem
🎧 Listen now and let’s get to the root of what’s really going on.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
