What if everything you've been told about following your passion is actually holding you back from finding truly meaningful work?

In this eye-opening conversation, he shares his journey from being a "thoroughly mediocre" kindergarten teacher in Brooklyn to becoming a marketing leader helping millions access free education, proving that your biggest career pivots often come from unexpected layoffs and trial-and-error discovery.
Jeremy's contrarian take on mentorship, his "portfolio career" philosophy, and his brutal honesty about figuring out your strengths will challenge everything you think you know about building a meaningful career.
If you've ever felt stuck trying to force yourself into the "right" path or wondered how to actually discover what you're good at, this episode will give you permission to experiment your way to work that's worth it.
